When children were busy having fun,

adults were busy worrying about their safety.

3 children vs 3 adults = headache

Cannot be THAT bothered with photo taking.

Dinner at Jang Shou Korean BBQ

Satisfied my craving for meat at Jang Shou Korean BBQ at Katong Village.

Buffet with free flow of chicken and pork at only $25++.

Towels and drinks not inclusive though.

Pork belly is my all time fav! *yums

Similary to other Korean BBQ they served free flow side dishes

but felt that their selection of side dishes were not that fantastic as compared to others.

Erm... these were actually compact sized towels

that will become normal sized towels once watered.

*first time suaku me came across something like that

Charlotte insisted that I took photo of her plate.

Handmade Lanterns

I always love it when Charlotte brings home her crafts from childcare.

Any craft makes me happy cos I know she enjoys doing it.

Miss Serene told Daddy that Charlotte's motor skills had improved :)

...

By the way she's now 13.5 kg and super talkative -

forever asking questions and questions!

Went dinner at Hotel Windsor for Teochew Porridge Buffet with in-laws

on Mid-Autum Festival evening.

Their teochew porridge buffet selection is comparable to Quality Hotel's.

Adult $11.80 each

Senior Citizen $10.80 each

Charlotte is 3 years old but she dine for free

This lantern is for show only.

Cannot light candle cos there is no opening at the top.

But she did a great job!

Happy Mooncake Festival

Hope this Mooncake Festival Fills Your Home

with the Glow of Love and Happiness :)

These few evenings, Charlotte is obsessed with walking around the park with lanterns.

Lanterns, as she has 3 - Barney, Princess and Winne the Pooh.

This Barney lantern is so dangerous.

Seems like the plastic can melt anytime.

Definitely not suitable for a 3 year old cos they can burnt their hands easily.

Hopping, skipping around...

Can't wait for Daddy to finish lighting up the candles.

Princess lantern.

FOC from a jiejie who gave to Charlotte.

This has been studied extensively and nobody has been able to link between sugar and behaviour. One study showed that parents who believed their children had been given a sugar-laden treat reported them to be hyperactive afterwards, even if they had not had any sugar. On the contray, there is strong evidence that excess sugar contribute to obesity, which make them less active than they should be.

You Should Drink Eight Glasses of Water Daily

This myth is probably originated from a 1945 study that stated that the human body needed around eight glasses of fluids a day. These fluids most likely include liquid from all the foods we eat and drink, like coffee and tea. Over time, "fluids" changed to water, giving rise to this myth. However to remain health, we need to take in enough water to replace the amount we lose daily through excretion, perspiration and other bodily functions, but that amount can vary from person to person.

Eggs Give You High Cholestrol

It is true that eggs contains some cholestrol, but they also provide nutrients like B vitamins that help reduce cholestrol levels in your blood. Most of the cholestrol in your body is produced in your liver rather than in the food you eat. Eggs are okay to eat in moderation - about one a day is fine.

Eating Late at Night Makes You Fat

It's a myth that eating just before bedtime will cause weight gain. Several studies have shown that it's the total intake over the couse of a day that influences how much of your diet will be stored as fat. The time you eat does not make any difference, even if you eat most of your daily calories after 8pm. The important thing is to make sure that the amount you eat does not go over the amount you need to function well and stay healthy.

Green Mucus Means You Need Antibiotics

If you are coughing up or blowing out green mucus it usually means your immune system is working as it should to rid your body of a viral infection and it is not a sign that your body need antibiotics. Antibiotics are of no use against viruses, But if you are not getting better, have a fever or the mucus is blood stained, see your doctor as you may have a bacterial infection such as sinusitis.

Old People Don't Have Sex

According to researches in Sweden, 70 year olds are having good sex more frequently than they did in their 40s. And good news for the girls. Women participants surveyed over a 30 year period reported being particulary satisfied with their sex lives in their older years. Even unmarried women are getting their share of the action, with the number of women having jumping from 0.8 percent at age 40 to 12 percent at 70. One surprising result. Both men and women say it's the man's fault when a couple stops having sex.
