WHEN DO YOU WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR KID?

This is something I read online recently and would very much like to share it here:

#When your baby is born into this world, you thought you have your whole life to play with him. But no, you think he is too small and is not able to play with you. You ignored him. You are stuck to your mobile phone.

When he is one, you said that he is too small to play with you, his walking is wobbly/unstable and he may fall. You ignored him. You are stuck to your mobile phone.

When he is two, you think that giving him too many toys is a waste of money. You ignored him. You are stuck to your mobile phone.

When he is three, and his sister came, you didn't even spend time with him. You ignored him. You are stuck to your mobile phone.

Now he is 4 1/2, you said that he can't listen to instructions. You need to wait for him to be bigger then only you will play with him. You ignored him. You are stuck to your mobile phone.

Let me tell you that when he is 12, he won't want to play with you anymore, but with his peers. Take an extended 15, and minus off 5 years (coz he always says he is 5 years old now), you are at most left with 10 years of playing with him.

A child grows up with play. A child learns through play. Let's just say 10 years, and if you only play with him once or twice every week: Twice a week, you get 8 times a month. Round it up to 10. 10 times a month, 120 times a year. 120 times a year, 1200 in his lifetime, being the maximum number of times you will play with him.

Now that your child had grown up, gotten married, and have his own life, how many times would you like him to visit you when you are in your golden age?
Once a month? That makes 12 times a year. Let's say your retirement starts at the age of 60, living to a life of 75. 15 years, 12 visits a year, you get to meet him only 180 times.

So, if not now, when do you want to spend time with your child? Time waits for nobody.

Please don't stick to your mobile phone. Please don't get stuck in your mobile phone. I will god-damn-it throw it away!#

YACON SOUP WITH CORN AND CARROT

Was shopping at the usual supermarket recently when I saw a lady promoting something which, from far, looked like sweet potatoes to me. I didn't pay attention to her til she called out to me and handed me a piece to sample. She was promoting organic yacons, not sweet potato. The moment I put it into my mouth, I remembered eating this looong time ago, but because I seldom see it in the supermarkets, I had totally forgotten about such a thing. The yacon is a traditionally grown for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Though the root looks like a sweet potato, the taste and texture are completely different. Its crispy texture, juiciness and mildly sweet taste makes it somewhat similar to water chestnut or snow pear. It can be eaten raw or cook. It is said that yacon is very high in fiber and low in calories which makes it a healthy and nutritious snack. Some of the health benefits of yacon include its ability to regulate blood sugar levels, lower 'bad' choles

CHINESE ARROWROOT SOUP WITH PORK BONES

This is the simple version of the Chinese arrowroot soup (Also known as 粉葛湯 'Fun Kot Tong' in Cantonese). Our family love drinking this soup. It is tasty and cooking it with pork bones and dried squid makes it sweet and refreshing. Some people who like boiling arrowroot together with lotus roots or peanuts, and my mother-in-law usually boils it on its own and drink as 'cooling' tea. Naturally sweet and tasty. If you don't like seafood, you can choose to omit the dried squid. This is how the Chinese arrowroot looks like. The arrowroot is a type of root plant similar to taro, potato or tapioca. However, it is harder in texture and incredibly starchy. When it is cut up, it has patterns that looks like the ages of a tree trunk. It is usually made into powder and used as thicken agent in cooking. The arrowroot is high in protein and fiber which is very beneficial to our body. Ingredients: 1 medium-sized Chinese arrowroot (Approx 700g) 10 red dates,

LEAN'S @ ATRIA SHOPPING GALLERY

Tong sui are a Cantonese specialty. If you've grown up in a Cantonese family, you must have had tong sui before. The term 'tong sui' literally means 'sugar water'. It is a collective term for any sweet, warm soup or custard served as a dessert at the end of a meal in Cantonese cuisine. My dad is a huge fan of tong sui : red bean soup, peanut soup, barley ginkgo and black sesame soup being his favorite. I'm not really a tong sui person but I remember seeing this Lean's place in Atria that sells a variety of desserts, including tong sui , nyonya kuihs and light meals, so I brought my dad there to try when my parents came over. It was afternoon teatime when we arrived. We were feeling a little hungry, so we ordered 2 nasi lemak bungkus, a cucur udang, steam cakes for my LO, black sesame cream, barley ginkgo and bubur cha cha. Nasi Lemak bungkus (RM3.70). Cucur udang (RM3). Pandan and vanilla steam cake (RM1.50 each). Nasi lemak is a famous lo
