My two years of religious studies

Phew! Finally two years of religious studies are over. Not sure how I managed but looking back, it's over at a wink.
My feelings? - relieved!! One less commitment now.
What have I learnt? - It's beautiful to know so much of depth knowlegde is hidden. This is just a glimpse....I need to explore more.
Any impact on me? - Yes!! Able to see situations around me in different perspective.
Able to sustain this knowledge? - Hehehe...not going to that easy as I will face daily challenges with bunch of "mix" people. Guess, will have to do lots of self reflecting
Next plan? - Take a break to focus on Diploma first. Spent more time with my little ones and revise topic which is not clear.
Can you teach? - I'm asked to....to be honest, still not confident enuf. Maybe after diploma...hopefully.

My two boys!

Just look how grown there are now....... Vesshnu jumps into Vitesh's playpen...though he is turns 11 this year...he is still a baby. Then the little one follows the Anna's footstep....the 2 happily posing.......... Cheer up boys!

Importance of having Breakfast

Hi friends, some advice....

Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death.Advice on not to skip breakfast.For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that habit now!You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.

Why?
Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6: 00a.m. and noon , with the highest incidence being between 8:00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?

The answer
Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol or P plaque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency. However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes.

Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns, Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit. This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke.

So never ever skip breakfast

Eagle

Phew! I messed up my blog..hehehe. I dinch even back up. Manage to do something and hope to explore more.

Actually I was excited to share with you about what I learnt from Adam Khoo PSLE workshop last Saturday. It's was hilarious....with Ramesh one of the trainer giving practical and true synopsis of what can we expect from today's children. I had a good laugh but it left me thinking of what is the right strategy of parenting these days. It was amazing how Ramesh used the Eagle and the eaglet as an example. Let me share it wif you. When an eagle built its home, it choses a high spot probably a tall tree or mountain top. Is it easy to reach there with all the twigs and leaves? Never....there is no construction company up there for them. It takes time and effort to build this nest. After that they lay eggs and wait for the day. When the eaglets hatch and days passed...they are ready to fly. Do you think the eaglets' parents are there to help them fly...Do they say "Now..look here my babies, today is lesson 1. Watch me carefully and learn the technique to fly, tommorrow we have the 2nd lesson" (I just quoted Ramesh words). NO!! the eaglets got to learn themselves...how do they do it? The first time the eaglets actually drop down and sometime they don't fly midway. They go all the way down close to the the ground. Suddenly from nowhere the ealets' parents will come for rescue. Indeed their parents actually sit close by watching their eaglets.

How many of we parents do this? I guess most of us are over protective.....We are there for comforting and attending to our children need. Think it's about time to be an Eagle!!Let's change our strategy. Children got to learn the difficult way to achieve things in life just like how the Eagle built its nest. As parents we got stay an armlength and watch our children move the right direction with confidence. See how much we can learn from creation...adious!
