Chao Tar (Burnt) Food & Cancer

Mummy's new stock of books arrived last week. One of the chinese book titled "Wishing you Happy Birthday" is about how a boy's encounter with a cancer stricken girl. When mummy was reading the page on how the girl describe how all the injections and treatment made her lose all her beautiful hair.......& etc.





Just then.....Nikki exclaimed that she knows that "Ai Zheng" in English is cancer. She further added that Gong gong told her not to eat too much burnt food for it causes cancer. At that very moment, she paused instantly and stared into mummy's eyes and asked innocently, "Mummy, will I get cancer if I've ate just a little bit of "chao tar" food?"


Her question reminded Daddy of the MTV "Nothing Scared" sung by Russell Watson. We ought to give thanks and glory to God for giving us, our healthy body and gives Him all the honor by taking good care of our body, His temple! May the Lord's healing power flow and work miracles now in every bodies of His little suffering angels regardless where they are now be it in the hospital or at home, on the streets or even in the slumps. Have mercy and heal them or even to take them back, if it's Your will. Lord, let no child suffers such torment and we pray this in Jesus most precious name, Amen!

Lesson from the NE MRT Line

Daddy couldn't fetch us for swimming class last week so mummy brought us on the LRT. Nikki was reluctant at first citing that it will be a long walk from the LRT station to the swimming complex. Nevertheless, it was quite an enjoyable ride afterall.

On the train, Noinoi gave us an interesting lesson on one of the instructional sign pasted in the cabin. She said: "Pregnant woman must stand! Mummy carrying little children also must stand. Only the elderly and physically disabled people can sit on the train!"

Huh...... Daddy wonders why are those young and able people rushing into the cabin to sit when pregnant woman and mummy carrying children even have to stand in the train! "SBS Transit Cares?"
