COLMAR TROPICALE

Yes. I went to colmar tropicale in Berjaya Hills.

You would think its France, no, it's simply like France.

Perfect place. Totally.

Ello

I went to Samantha's house , a 2 storey bunglow at Tanah Merah, today. We went there to discuss the proposal for guides. Jue Xin, Li Jun went there as well, but actually we expected Puo Ting and Xin Rui to go, however they were busy, so did not come. Apparently she had three dogs, as expected, rather fierce and agressive, but soon they got locked up. We were quite distracted, listening to songs and playing stuff, but we soon gotta concentrate. Jue Xin was the song freak, listening to songs she like over and over again, to the displeasure, rather jokingly, to some. Samantha was sorta crazy over the new game 'toy' of hers. In the end, me and Li Jun start the ball rolling by initiating ideas, and sketching. Frequent comments by them, but we inevitably crap..oh. HAHaha. Luckily we left early,because that place was quite deserted, (no offense Sam), at least we finished what we wanted, after a long period of time. Many feelings engulfed me after the trip, perhaps things we should learn to work on, humans are not all perfect anyway.

The weather's so windy now. I think its gonna rain again. What a perfect weather to sleep. I shall too.

TIP OF THE WEEK

TIP OF THE WEEK

Be Careful while eating apples
Please don't eat the skin of the apple because it's coated with wax. Check before you eat many of the fruits. WAX is being used as preservation Purposes and then cold stored. You might be surprised especially apples from USA and other parts are more than one year old, though it would look fresh. Becox wax is coated preventing bacteria to enter. So it does not get dry.

Please Eat Apples after taking the wax as demonstrated below.

Please follow this and let others know ..........

CALCIUM

Is Proud to PresentHealth Awareness – Calcium and Osteoporosis

Calcium is essential in the prevention of osteoporosis, a condition which bones become weak and brittle and thus more susceptible to fractures.

About 60% of total bone mass is built up in the first two decades of our life and gradual loss of bone mass takes place after we past 30. Getting enough calcium from childhood through adulthood helps build bones up and then helps slow the loss of bone as we age. Also, calcium is important for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Calcium can be found in dark green, leafy vegetables, green peas, soy milk, oranges, almonds, dried beans, legumes, canned salmon, calcium-set tofu cheese food, trail mix (nuts, seeds, chocolate chips) and baked beans.

Vitamin D helps to absorb calcium and deposit it in the bones. It is found in milk and vitamin supplements, and it can be made by the skin when it is exposed to sunlight.

There are a number of lifestyle factors that can help limiting the amount of bone loss in adulthood:
· Getting regular exercise, especially weight-bearing and muscle strengthening exercise.
· Getting adequate vitamin D, whether through diet, exposure to sunshine, or supplements.
· Consuming enough calcium to reduce the amount the body has to borrow from bone.
· Consuming adequate vitamin K, found in green, leafy vegetables.
· Not getting too much preformed vitamin A (also known as retinol).
