Hydrate me!

Still remember those days in Primary 6? No not ur first crush or the weird mask we had to wear due to the prevalent haze at that time.

One of the things we learnt from the Science subject I meant. There is a topic on 'Water'. Eh? Maybe not. The syllabus have changed somewhat. I am sure the recent syllabus's ones do have this line thou'

"Up to 70% of a person is water"

Ring any bells?
Yeah who gives a **** about that fact, u nerd.

Nah, it is just a statement that I am starting to become skeptical about.
Not only that statement. The statement below too!~

"Average consumption of water - 8 glasses a day. (i.e. said to be around 2 litres)"

I'm having a lil' bit of headache, accompanied by dry mouth and thirst at the moment.

According to this source, the above are signs of dehydration!

"Ohh.. for sure tak minum air lah.. Green Tea summore lah"

Wrong!

If you've read the recent 'tagged' post more carefully, I stated that I have a tendency to drink lots of water in a day.

Before I inform you of my drinking water statistics, I'll introduce my loyal water bearers first.


My loyal friends:

Loyal friend 1

What so special? Look below!

2000 ml .. ie. 2 litres!

The BIG Bottle! [Code: BB] Hahaha.. This bottle tends to be one of those rare ones that tend to cause a minor commotion among your friends when you take it out from ur bag. Heard from mum, such a bottle (plastic+2 litres) is hard to find over here. This bottle came all the way from KK btw!

Loyal friend 2

What so special?

Nada handle lo.
You can see a part jutting out that was once linked to the handle.

The small bottle [code: SB]. Normal bottle, won't cause any commotion of any kind. But extremely portable! =)

OK.. And now my drinking statistics.

What I usually drink on a typical day:

Do the Math!

BB + BB + SB+ SB
= (2 + 2 + 1 + 1) lit
= 6 litres!

That is about 3 times the average amount of water a human being should drink!

WALAO!

But during days which I have class, nah.. Not so much. Maybe around half of that amount only. But still above average!

I've already completed 2 BB for today. Now on the verge of completing the 3rd one. But the effects of dehydration seem to be coming to me. Ohh.. I played ball today. Maybe I lost way too much water thru' sweat, which is the cause for today.

I don't know.

Any soon-to-be-doctors or well-fed-with-medical-info person who could figure this out? Hahaha.. Is there something wrong with my osmoregulatory system(<-- learnt from AS Bio. I wonder if its the right term to use) or not? Maybe not ..
Maybe I was an aquatic organism in my past life!!

Hahaha.. Bah.. That's it for today.

Off to rehydrate!
