      If never drink coffee, maybe can start drinking now:


      Coffee May Reverse Alzeimhers'
      http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8132122.stm

      I recall some old research that said caffeine for young kids is a no-no cos it stunts growth.
      ha ha... no thanks. I'd rather cook rice in my steel pot and not use aluminium. It was also shown that eating food cooked in aluminium utensils does aggravate the problem. I quite like the uniqueness of not having drank coffee.. I would like to live to tell my great-grandchildren about it. Fun mah...

        I realize I'm very off topic this morning, aiyo. Last one (famous last words too...)


        Yah 2ppaamm, these days so many things so bad for us. Lucky I got a doc who is super sensitive about these things, so can help watch out for us. He's semi-retired though (see, he's at a very ripe old age), so can't recommend him. [If he knows I'm writing about him, he'll scold me for calling him lao :)].

          Ya, I also OT, so sorry. But, do you think diet affects a kid's intelligence? Since it has proven that certain food does worsen certain conditions. E.g. some people tell me ginko nuts is really good for brains. This cleaner lady told me that her grandson eats quite a bit of that. If she is telling the truth, her grandson was a president scholar! :shock:


          Also, groundnut roots help you to grow tall, etc etc. Anyone tried some brain food?

                Where can we buy groundnut and how to prepareit? How do I relate it to the hawker in local or dialet name? I may need this for my GEP (must relate to GEP else later got poking fun again) kid, he is really very short. People says he looks like P1. 😢 Some say many GEP kids are short.

                  Checked with some other GEP mothers in our school today. Yep, everyone is quite free... so I think it is the school thing. Glad to be in a relaxed school!

                  Ha ha! Didn't drink coffee till I was 19. Needed the caffeine then to stay awake to study! My son does not drink coffee or tea - so his reaction to the prospect of tea appreciation outing was \"Yucks\"!

                  Thanks for sharing. Most of my son's homework seems to be Chinese. Chinese homework also everyday. Must be his class standard for chinese is not up to the school's! No spelling list, so he spent lots of time yesterday preparing for the Chinese spelling test. I suspect that he is a perfectionist so must know every word!

                  Very little English and Math homework - he can do them pretty fast and fortunately not so careless. The problem I suspect is that he tends to waste time between tasks. Also, I feel that the level of difficulty for English is higher than the Math.

                  Have not seen any science worksheet - other than newspaper clippings, he has yet to have any science homework. Don't know the level of difficulty for GEP science.

                    .

                    Yes, among the many types of tea they learn mostly are bitter, but my son appreciate green tea, which according to him it was not bitter. He also appreciate the use of tea set, the process of making tea, the peaceful environment and its setup. Overall, he enjoys the outing. I am not sure why they have such activity may be future GEP kids life going to be stressful and need to know how to relax. 😉
