While waiting for someone, I came across an article in the Malaysian magazine, Mingguan Wanita (that featured Sherlie Merlis wedding). This entry is not about her, but it is about an interesting article that I came across. The ten foods in strengthening your bones (literally translated from malay). So what are the ten foods?

1. Yogurt – apparently, it says that one cup is sufficient for you to receive the daily needs. One cup gives you 30% of calcum and 20% Vitamin D.

2. . No introduction needed. I don’t really like milk. Milk is rich in Vitamin D and 8 ounce of fresh milk gives 90 calories (not sure if this is a lot or little). And the writer says that if you are not keen in drinking milk (like moi), especially fresh milk, you can add into while making your own smoothie (even I don’t like, so how?)

3. Cheese Aha, this I like – selling now at sheng siong at $4.95 (saw it yesterday at Bedok) or for those of you who are into fast–food Cheese gives an overwhelming number of Vitamin D, although it is not encouraged to over-indulged (I have to take note of this more). Cheese can be enjoyed daily at 1.5 ounce (huh, how much is this?) at 30 % calcium for bones.

4. egg who doesn’t love eggs? That smell of egg on a lazy sunday morning – heaven!! Can give you 6% daily calories.

5. salmonMy SIL loves this! Known for its great benefits and one of them is Omega3.

6.spinach. Remember Popeye the sailor and his ultimate strength. Yup it’s true. This fresh green contains not only fibre, but given 25% calcium, fibre and vitamin A.

7 cereal If you are always missing breakfast, don’t be a lazy bum. Go to any supermarket and buy those 6 small packs – trust me will do you good in the long run. Contains Vitamin D of 25%.

8. Tuna (tongkol in malay). Easy to get in the market and has 39% Vitamin D>

9. green chye sim – lots of benefits, primarily 25% Vitamin D daily

10. sardines. Many people dismiss this food item as that meant for the less fortunate. But do you know the benefits of eating sardines? I don’t have the figure than apparently this fish has lots of calcium and Vitamin D

a cup of tea


A group of students, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old teacher. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests tea, the teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of tea and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the tea.

When all the students had a cup of tea in hand, the professor said: ‘If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the tea. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was tea, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups too.

Now consider this: Life is the tea; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the tea Allah has provided us.’ Allah brews the tea, not the cups. Enjoy your tea.

when it is raining

I remember back in school, I had to wear slippers and put my nice clean white shoes in a plastic bag. I used to hate doing this {I don’t hate my mom for making me do this, it’s just that it is so so [leceh] troublesome. You know you got your schoolbooks and what not, and I am the type to bring all the subject books to school – so can you imagine how heavy my bag is – or well that explains why I have a bad posture, ha ha! But come to think of it, when everyone else is in dirty shoes, I am in my white clean SHOES!

And I love the rain.
