Diversification is the name of the game. Sticking to one’s own culture makes one a ‘stick in the mud’

This has been the issue in the past up to this time, but most of us know how to deal with diversities.In a classroom for example, it is hard to teach diversified pupils/ students, but that was before, this time , there is less struggle for the technology helps a lot in solving the crises of diversities issues.

yes, life is so unpredictable, there are ups and downs, we still have to go on living

look forward in a positive way, days ahead should turn out bright

Quite motivating, and makes us think and ponder and see challenges as learnings in our long life journey.

Even though I walk through the valleys of death am not alone I see a light that shines bright because at the end of every tunnel there is a light, and there is no situation that is permanent. I may be down today but that does not determine where I will be tomorrow. There ar3 so many things that we go through this life that can make someone give up so easily but we should never now down no matter what but guess what that’s what we do when things get so tough we opt to now down and say to ourselves I can’t take this anymore it’s really putting me down, instead of sting even though I may feel like nothing is working I will push myself harder and see how far I can go. We sometimes distrust ourselves so much that we don’t achieve our goals. Why is it so hard to tell oneself look, you can do this just a little more is all you need and you will get there. Why is that so hard? It’s because we don’t have faith in ourselves. When we challenge ourseelves we are more likely to do better, things may nit work now but who knows about tomorrow? Brighter days await us ahead push on and you will never regret it.

Some people get brighter days in the beginning, some get in the middle and some get in the end of life and it is life and life principle on earth for earthly men.

I think that our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.

It’s one of those dumb days where nothing’s really wrong but nothing’s really right either and the sky can’t even choose to be white or gray.

Some days you get up and you already know that things aren’t going to go well. They’re the type of days when you should just give in, put your pajamas back on, make some hot chocolate and read comic books in bed with the covers up until the world looks more encouraging. Of course, they never let you do that.

We must surround ourselves with people who uplift and motivate us. If not, we will be stuck in our rut and even be stomped deeper into the ground.

I am not sure whether microwaving will add moisture to the food as reheating cooked food normally removes the moisture unless it is steamed.

Thanks for sharing. Steaming could be one of the best way for reheating the food, especially those dry food which does not contains liquid like pau, bread, etc.
For some Chinese dishes which contains liquid, I just re-cook it with adding in some water.
For the soup, I just put into a small sauce pan and reheat it.
Anyway, there is medical advice that overnight food is no good for health, and could cause stomach cancer. Many experts have explained that overnight vegetable produce nitrite, but nitrite is a carcinogen.
Thus, I advise my mom not to take overnight food too often or even not once. She likes to take overnight food which is too risky for a old age lady, it could lead
to diarrhea, and more serious could lead to gastroenteritis. It is a fatal disease for some aged people, they might fail to be recovered from this disease. For those more healthier one, they still need two to three weeks for recovery.

yes, we chinese culture also use wok cover with lid and a big bowl of water pour into the wok, to steam meals or overnight meals too.
Besides that, we also use the rice cooker to warm up overnight food.
Anyway, using your method is cheaper

I do this sometimes but most of the time, I will just put the food in the pan and let it heated there. Sometimes I add more condiments too.

Nice but we do not eat leftovers at home.We just simply throw the foods in trash.despite we refrigerate the foods, bacteria can still accumulate the area.

A good way of heating the food.

i dont understand how to do it…my wife prepare it for me

This is really funny. I remember the time i was still small. the time of sickness,though dreaded, was always an enjoyable one. i make orders of the things i want to eat or drink and they are brought with immediate effect. but once you show any sign of recovery, you are on your own.

parents turn into jellies and soft heart when kids are sick. So this is the best time when kids could use this opportunity to make parents abide whatever they wanted.
However, when they had recovered, it was hard for them to adjust back their normal lifestyle

Sick kids will always want to have someone near them someone who will encourage them and keep them company. That’s one thing that any sick person would want just some company will make them feel well. I remember when I got sick my mum would constantly check on me, I would have my favorite meals, always listen to music whenever I wanted too, so everything happened the way I wanted because people around you feel or think that when they do stuff for you you will get better much faster. As for the medicine part my mum was very strict on that and nothing would stop her from making you take your medication. She was very harsh but after taking it she would be kind enough to give you something sweet to sweeten your mouth as she tells you that you will be better off after that.

Debated for a long time whether or not to buy a rice cooker. In the end, I got a slow cooker. It was on sale! Had no idea you could make a cake in a rice cooker. Now I’m rethinking and might just add rice cooker back to my holiday wish list again! 🙂

Great recipe- and without use of too much sophisticated equipment.

wow! The cake is really tempting,make my mouth watering. My son is asking me to bake him a cake, me still stick to the computer till today. Hehe!
Thanks for the recipe, might give a try this Sunday!
You mentioned, you bake the cake and bread for your family and neighbors for FREE?Aiyah! How I wish I stay just next to you! Haha!
As work from home mom, we should share more lazy recipe here for saving some cooking times, make cooking more time efficient, so can stay here more. Haha!

Not just those having medical conditions but everyone should practice it because of the wear and tear that a body is subjected to as one ages.

I have never heard of this theraphy, maybe it is not common here.
Acupunture is common for those knee joints, disability and stroke patients .
Acupunture is done in order to help patients to recover.
Thanks for sharing your experience

Physiotherapy is like an everyday exercise regime for everyone. Given that it works all around our bodies our bones and joints. It keeps every part of the body in workable condition. If say you can’t afford a doctor you can always get some exercise routine from a fun instructor and that should help. You do the exercises right in the privacy of your home without much expense. It’s nice to know that you doing better after the therapy.

Yes physio therapy needs hours because it is a very tough job but is very nice. Physical therapy is not alternative therapy. It is a clinical health science. Physical therapists study medical science subjects, including anatomy, neuroscience and physiology in order to acquire the health education needed for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, etc., of patients with physical problems.

The physical therapist works in hospitals, GP (general practice, primary care medicine) practices, and the community. In the vast majority of countries a physical therapist must be fully qualified and registered by law. In order to become registered the physical therapist must have graduated with a university degree in physical therapy or a health science university degree that included a physical therapy course.

A qualified physical therapist is an expert in the examination and treatment of people with cardiothoracic, musculoskeletal and neuromuscular diseases; focusing on conditions and problems that undermine patients’ abilities to move and function effectively.

According to the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, UK:
“Physiotherapy is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its practice and delivery. The exercise of clinical judgment and informed interpretation is at its core.”

London Swiss roll? I try not to give sweets, biscuits and chocolate to my kids. However, still will prepare these kind of ready Swiss roll , but in other favour like Pandan, strawberry for the kids during travel or when they came out from the swimming pool in their swimming class.
The is the fast and most easy way that I able to think of.
Off course, I do prepare my own baked bread for them.
What to prepared for my girl during her morning school break is always make me headache. I try to make five different food for five school day per week as possible, but it is not a easy task, I would say.
I try to buy bread, make her pan cake, steam rice, fried noddles, with some fruits, like apple, orange, peer, grapes,and even nuts.
However, it is another routine the following week. Hehe!

All this could down to the parents what do they eat in the presence of their children, because what you eat is what the child would want to eat so the parents have to be the ones giving or showing a good example from the start. When kids are trained to eat healthy nothing will make them want to live the healthy living for junk food coz they know what would happen. Everything that you have shared is definitely a keeper we all went out kids to grow up healthy no one wants a child who is obese or is suffering from some kind disease.

Yes in markets there are many foods that are not suitable for kids keeping in mind kids’ health. t’s no surprise that parents might need some help understanding what it means to eat healthy. From the MyPlate food guide to the latest food fad, it can be awfully confusing.

The good news is that you don’t need a degree in nutrition to raise healthy kids. Following some basic guidelines can help you encourage your kids to eat right and maintain a healthy weight.

You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them. Though kids will pester their parents for less nutritious foods, adults should be in charge when deciding which foods are regularly stocked in the house. Kids won’t go hungry. They’ll eat what’s available in the cupboard and fridge at home. If their favorite snack isn’t all that nutritious, you can still buy it once in a while so they don’t feel deprived.

Kids need to have some say in the matter. Schedule regular meal and snack times. From the selections you offer, let them choose what to eat and how much of it they want. This may seem like a little too much freedom. But if you follow step 1, your kids will be choosing only from the foods you buy and serve.
