The next decade....what's in store?

Fainting spell brings back memories....

Had a fainting episode to deal with at home today and it carried me back to Primary School (St George's Girls' School on Duke Street near Parliament).

We used to have all the girls gather for devotion in the boiling hot sun and invariably you'd see somebody's head....and then you didn't. The teachers would rush to the girl and put her to lie down on two or three chairs, wipe her down with bay rum or rubbing alcohol and give her smelling salts.

Later on in life I learnt that many kids, and indeed adults, do not eat anything at all before they leave home in the mornings! I know that each person is different, but the science tells me that when you been sleeping, and you get up, you haffi break the fast, and that is why it's called Breakfast.

I learnt that glucose is in the only fuel your brain can use for energy and so once you put something in your mouth that contains carbohydrates, you perk up once it's converted into sugar.

A little sugar and water did the trick today, followed by lots of fruit juice.

But for those people who don't eat breakfast, try have even a cup of tea/coffee/milo tea/horlicks tea/cerasee tea/ etc before oonu leave home nuh? A slice of bread with peanut butter or low fat cheese would be even better.

The excuse people give me is them can't keep down food so early in the morning. Can you imagine waking up from 6am, and the first meal you have is coffee break at 10????????

I'd not say a thing if ah heard oonu brain cussing oonu!
