        Been drinking since upper secondary. Google says it has benefits. Personally coffee can help me replace panadol.
        Habits can be changed. People can quit smoking. By the way, why you need to take panadol? I haven't take panadol for more than 10 years. Find out why you got headache, not enough sleep? I experienced some headache last year because of my high blood pressure but now no more as my blood pressure return back to normal range. Find out the root cause instead of just drinking coffee.

          Well, it will make holidays a bit more redundant then 😂 When everyday is a holiday, people will get bored quickly.

          3 days can’t go very far but don’t want stay in Singapore.

          I guess more people will take RTS to JB for groceries shopping or massage or cut hair etc. Maybe Ah Pek go Batam? LOL

            Is the 4 working days a wk in office and 1 day work fm home? Or 4 workings to make up the 44 hrs a wk? Both I don’t mind. I think unlikely cutting off a work day without adjusting salary?

              Very seldom take medicine. I recalled few times when I was about to fall sick, having flu, drink coffee and when sun comes out everything back to normal. Caffeine is not that bad that need to kick off I feel. Even when we make donations to old age home, coffee is one recommended item. It will improve mood, make us alert, brain can function even when lack of sleep.

                You still cannot catch my ball. I have no opinions on people drinking coffee because most of my colleagues like coffee, the important thing is the caffeine in coffee has caused your insomnia and you only slept for 3 hours yesterday. This is why I asked you to stop taking coffee so that you can have a good sleep 😴

                  I didn’t know there was such a thing as caffeine supplement until I saw some stidents on TikTok taking it to keep awake for studies.

                    I just started using the rice cooker that supposed to lower the sugar/GI, with rice on a tray in the cooker. So far, quite bad results esp when I used the red rice. At first not fully cooked then I added some hot water and it became mushy. Now we all don't like rice liao. Maybe tomorrow I use steamer rack see how it is.
                    Hv been so busy revamping my garden & didnt hv much time to chat here, except peep abit.

                    Did you find the red raw rice helpful to yr dieting effort? When I started the family on raw rice, DH had an admirable flat tummy compared with his brothers.

                    Typically, I’ll soak the raw rice separately before putting them to cook in the rice cooker. Putting them to cook w/o soaking the raw rice causes entire pot of rice to be mushy. Try soaking.

                      I “ scared” the daily working hours increased in order to make way for 4 days work week.
                      Then I rather use my own vacation leave to work 4 days, I will be happier … haha 🤣
                      I just met an old frd this week, who complained her DH has been a workaholic. If SG can turn to a culture of 4-day workweek, some families might drive the workaholics out of SG for more frequent breaks away fr work & stress. I wld welcome it for abit more worklife balance.

                        DD’s work place has a 4day work week arrangement. Yes daily hours are longer to make up the total 44hrs/week. DD prefers it this way longer work days but shorter work week.


                        I think for those without young children this arrangement might appeal.
