Realage Tip of the Day

check out tis tip of the day i got from Realage!

To My Friends

Plans with friends offer more than good times -- they can be lifesavers as well.

A recent study supports the theory that a large network of friends helps extend people's life spans. In the study, friendships appeared to increase people's longevity even more than family relationships did. Round up your buddies this weekend for a movie, a meal, or a chat over iced tea.

RealAge Benefit: During stressful times, strong friendships can make your RealAge from 2 to 30 years younger.

i was toking to Shu'en as I was reading tis & i told him...imagine making being 30 yrs younger!!?? we'll be MINUS 3 yrs old den.....haha

of course frens are good for u. they provide emotional support & help make leisure time so much more enjoyable.

but family is impt too. in sociology, family helps maintain social balance as ppl has an avenue to vent out frustrations & other negative emotions. let's face it. ppl, more often den not, abuse their own family more den frens. at least, i'll admit to tat. coz u are at ur most natural self wif family & u noe ur family wun hold it against u.

yeowyeow called mi last nite to ask wat time i'll b back. when i told him i'm caught in traffic but has oredi reached bedok, he told mi "i'm very angry with u." i asked him why and he answered "becoz u're not back yet."

well, he gets angry wif his sister too. and i guess kids learn abt anger by mimicking adults but the emotion is inborn. like qiqi will snatch things from yeowyeow & sulk if we scold her. she express displeasure ( i duno if it's anger or sadness ) by lowering her head, refusing to look at u & sulking.
