Ten Multi Grains

Let me share something I came across and I think it is good enough for everyone to consider adding in your daily consumption , for general good health!

Ten Multi Grains is made from a mixture of 5 types of coarse rice, namely brown rice, wild rice, amaranth, red rice, Kelantan red rice, as well as 5 types of grains, namely barley, buckwheat, oat groat, millet and quinoa. Recent scientific analysis shows that the Ten Multi Grains consisits of more than one hundred types of nutrients which is beneficial to our overall health and wellness, including vitamin A and B (B1, B2, B6, B9, B12), vitamin C, D, E, K, minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and microelements such as zinc, copper ad germanium. Moreover, it also contains anti-oxidants, high level of cellulose, amino acids and many more.

The ten grains rice is effective in treating high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels, preventing cardiovascular blockage, regulating blood sugar, treating insomnia, assisting weight loss, treating high uric acid levels, preventing intestinal cancer, treating leucorrhea, strenghtening the body's immunity, treating constipation, as well as alleviating pain and soreness of the knee and waist. Long term consumption of the Ten Multi Grains proves to have anti-aging effects.

So, that's a whole lot of goodness, isn't it? Make a difference to your life today. Change your diet!

Deep one

It’s been so long since I last blogged. Perhaps, because I had too much thoughts to sort out.

All this time, I have only put the family on top of my priority list. Suddenly, I am thinking to myself, what do I do for myself? What do I do for myself? All this time, dare not think too much what I want to do, because always tell myself, ‘no time’.

Maybe I should find something other than work/family. I should start making small steps and accomplish one by one.
To find my answer I must first learn to love myself – do a facial with a fren, perm hair again, ask what I myself like to eat, try to 'siu myself', so that I don't get agitated by the kids, make healthy recipe for the family (oops!, that's not for me again!)

Workwise, I have taken the first step and successfully negotitated for half days with the company, but I have a feeling that this will not last long since the management is at expanding stage and may need individual who can commit more time. Maybe, need to find something else that I can have a small income, be independent, and yet have free time to do what I want.

Could it be, I have a philanthropic heart? Can I be a Tsu Chi volunteer/a social worker who visits the cancer patients? Well, this is a big step, I am not sure if I can do this. I just know that I want to help a fellow being.

Well, my Aunty Peck is fighting a battle after the 2nd operation on Monday. I hope she can be strong enough to overcome the cancer and she can regain her health as she did the last time. It makes me think, what can we do, when we are still healthy and able? Can we make a difference to another person's life?

Misunderstood!

The day started off quite badly today. I might have been right at the onset, but I delivered it quite badly, and in the end, I was in the bad light.

Looking at myself in the past few days, there are things that happened which I could have just stopped myself, and things would not turn sour. It is because of my actions that made me misunderstood. So, let’s try another way. No action, no response when you are not in control. Only say or act when you are more in control of yourself.

Sometimes, action can be misunderstood. So, I shall tell my kids and John more that ‘I love them’ and hug them more. Do not ask for reciprocal love. Just love unconditionally.

What I resolved (not) to do?

1st April
You know, I have been losing my cool again these few days. The kids have been rather stubborn and would forget simple things that need to be done. This is especially the case with my daughter.

She would not close the door when she goes to the toilet, or change her clothes anytime, anywhere. We told her countless time that she is growing up and she needs to know how to conceal her nakedness, but she would still be the same. She cannot be bothered to flush the toilet after use, and makes the toilet all smelly.

These day, with the crazy weather, I will ask them to drink a lot of water. 2 bottles a day, 1 bottle before school and one bottle at the school. That is not too much, right? But they will not finish the water. And I will be at wit’s end, worrying whether they will get sick etc.

School work is not heavy these days, coz many of the teachers don’t come to class. That is another problem. But anyway, with the few homework, she still would not write the Daily Homework List, though I have reminded her countless times. Things that she uses/takes out from the cupboards will lay there, until I tell her to tidy up. Sometimes, I wonder if she is just plain lazy or really absent minded.

I know I should be patient. Actually, I have been, haven’t I? But I also believe, that we should not give in to the kids all the time, or they will start to climb on top of your head and demand the heaven and earth. So, what should I do? The feeling was lovely, after I came back from the Round Table 3-day training. But, how do you sustain it? How do I keep the cool and calm spirit in the face of reality? How do you not get agitated when you face countless heartbreaking situation?

I may not have the answer. But I do know that it might be true she is absent minded, it might be true that she is lazy. And since I know she is like that, why should I get all angry? I should think of another way to get out of this. And since I am the adult, I should have more control on my feelings and action.

Love her unconditionally. Ask yourself, are any of the above very detrimental to her I don’t nag her.

Closing toilet door and nakedness – she will learn eventually. So let it be. Try not saying it for a week.
Flushing toilet bowl – the most is the toilet bowl gets yellow. She will also learn eventually. So let it be too.
Water – I still will continue make them drink more water. But perhaps, I shall relax from 2 bottles to 1 and half of a bottle. Maybe I will use other more interesting ways to make them see that water is important for our body.
Daily Homework List – if she does not update in the list, it does not mean that homework/correction does not get done. It just means that she is not conscientious (as usual). So, as long as she knows how to take out her homework (without me nagging her), it should be acceptable. This is quite hard to ignore for me. I will still stress the importance for Hahn and remind her daily, and hopefully, she will follow too.

So, that is what I will do. And wish me success in the coming week, ok? Hopefully, I will not nag again. (ya, right...)
