Fondue Party

BKYC and RKYC combined for yesterday's "free cell" and had a FONDUE party!

Every sibling group brought something. We had ice-creams, marshmallow, fruits, cheese, cakes, sandwich, nuts, sprite and of course the chocolate fondue in abund
ant. Too abundant. Note to self: these two cells don't eat that much. Very un-youth-like.

People taking a permanent break from the chocolate late at nite. And the view of the Chong's Christmas tree in June in the background. *hehe*










Besides being fattening, it was making people sugar high. Did you know that chocolate is prove to make people happy? I mean seriously. It's scientifically proven. Read here.

Generally, this is how it works. When our 'seretonin' levels are high in our brains, we feel more elated and ecstatic. 'Anandamide' chemical that is sent through our brain cells and breaks down between the cells causes the fleeting positive feelings. Chocolate contains an ingredient that keeps our 'seretonin' levels high and slows the process of 'anandamide' breaking down, causing us to stay positive and happy longer. That's why people can get high on chocolate. And there's a reason you're asked to eat chocolate when you're depressed.

wah! The food there is very diabetic-inducing. Ours is normally savoury ... roti canai, fried mee hoon, etc - even at combined cell meetings. Chocolate Fondue sounds yummy! I'm salivating!
