A passer-by experiencing a shower of flowers as he walks along what looks like a yellow brick road in Ang Mo Kio near Catholic Church of Christ the King, where yellow flowers from Angsana trees along the footpath started to fall on 11 May 2014. According to the National Parks Board (NParks), the flowers of Angsana trees, which are fairly fragrant, bloom for only a day and fall by the next morning

A lovely family enjoying the very rare yellow snow of Singapore. And the car with the heart of a Ferrari being yellow snowed upon. The trees dropped all the flowers with yellow petals and it looked like it was snowing.

It's a blessing from above.

Eurasians ~ Best Teeth in Singapore

First... here's a joke...

The front page of the Straits Times, 
dated 2014 May 14, Wednesday... 
had a story... that stated that... 
"Eurasians have the most 
problem-free teeth (at 71%)..."

... and this (I think) is probably due to 
the Eurasian's 3 most famous foods...
the Teeth Polishing Curry Feng 
after the Sugee Cake Almond Scrub 
and the Germ Killing Devil's Curry.

... and here's the article below...

The Straits Times
By Salma Khalik
This article was published on May 14 in The Straits Times.
http://yourhealth.asiaone.com/content/one-two-spore-kids-has-rotten-teeth-report
http://yourhealth.asiaone.com/print/content/one-two-spore-kids-has-rotten-teeth-report

More than half of all children in Singapore have one or
more rotten teeth by the time they start primary school.


This is a worrying trend because bacteria from their milk teeth can affect the development of their permanent teeth.

That is why the Health Promotion Board (HPB) is introducing oral care programmes to pre-primary children, starting in August. HPB said it plans to reach out to children in all childcare centres within five years.

A report on the oral health of schoolchildren found that the proportion of children with dental caries at the age of seven had gone up from 47.6 per cent in 2003, to 50.6 per cent last year.

"If left untreated, decay on the primary (milk) tooth can affect the developing permanent tooth," said School Dental Service senior deputy director Eu Oy Chu. This is because bacteria from the milk tooth can result in an abscess that will spread to the tooth growing under it, she said.

Among seven-year-olds, more foreign children (56 per cent) had caries than local children (51 per cent). Generally, more boys than girls had bad teeth.

One in four Primary 6 pupils last year had caries on the permanent teeth. This is a significant improvement from 2007 when slightly more than one in three had caries. And among 15-year-olds, 41 per cent had caries last year, slightly lower than the 42 per cent in 2007.

Local children continued to have better teeth as they aged than foreigners. By the time they were 15 years old, 59 per cent of local children had no decayed, missing or filled teeth, compared with 57 per cent of foreigners that age.

Eurasians have the most problem-free teeth (71 per cent), followed by Indians (64 per cent), Malays (60 per cent), and Chinese (58 per cent) coming in last.

Dr Matthew Lau, a dental officer with the School Dental Service, told The Straits Times: "We are seeing more children with decayed and filled teeth."

He asks parents if the child takes lots of sweet foods and beverages, if he still falls asleep with a milk bottle, or holds food in his mouth for long periods - all bad habits that lead to tooth decay.

Dr Lau urges parents who give their children sweet treats to do so immediately after a meal rather than any time the child wants. This limits the amount the child takes. He also tells parents they need to brush their child's teeth "until a child develops the dexterity to do a good job on his own".

Usually, a child who can tie his shoelaces should be able to brush his own teeth. But Dr Lau added that parental supervision is still necessary to ensure that the child is doing a good job.

Parents should start taking their children to the dentist when they turn one, or when they get their first tooth, he said.

Ganesh Mohandas, who turns five this month, started brushing his own teeth this year, but his parents would follow up with a second round of brushing to make sure that nothing is missed.

His mother, Mrs R. Mohandas, said they started brushing his teeth from the time he was just six months old.

Love - Those Chosen for You, Those at Home

Someone asked me for advice... this is what I told her...

===.
Love - Those Chosen for You, Those at Home
(by PGA ~ posted on 2014 Feb 06, 1835 hrs)
If your child does not want to visit the 
Kong-2 (Grandfather) and Mama-2 (Grandmother), 
be patient, don't scold, just talk calmly about 
what a family is, and it is all about LOVE.

Say to to your child.

'If you cannot love those 
CHOSEN for you, how are 
you... going to love those, 
that YOU... have chosen?'.
~ PGA, 2014 Feb 06, 1835 hrs

Everything begins at home, even LOVE. 

'If you cannot love, those at HOME, how are 
you... going love... those OUTSIDE of home?'
~ PGA, 2014 Feb 06, 1835 hrs

It will pass, one day, I know it will. 
When things are all... UN-Certain, 
there is always hope.

Joke ~ Who's the Boss?

Friend's of mine,
a Mum & Dad about their son,
their banter nourishes an Original Joke.

===.
Joke ~ Who's the Boss?

Mum
Having killed Lotsa-Lotsa-Legs 
a.k.a. Peter the Pink Caterpillar, 
and the Very Hungry Caterpillar, 
Calvin Andrews, the Soft Toy Killer, 
demands more sacrificial victims.

Dad
Cookie Monster was not spared either. 
(Furry blue mass at the far right corner...)

Mum
He basically destroyed the 
order within the playpen. 
The next step would have been 
him throwing things out of it! 
Little monster!

Dad
That's my boy! Show these 
furry creatures who's da boss!

Mum
Please tidy up the playpen later Dad

Dad
Yes boss.....
