While entering heaven, men are told to queue in two rows.
One row for those who think that they have been dominated by their wives during their life time and the other for those who do not think they have not dominated.
A beeline formed behind the sign which read "DOMINATED by WIFE" except for one soul who queued at "NOT DOMINATED by WIFE". Out of curiosity, an angel asked the soul for his secret.
"I do not know, my wife told me to queue here." answered the soul sheepishly.

One of the reason I am reading "The Bondmaid" is the era it was set. Back in early 1950s, "The Bondmaid" captures the ethos of a wealthy and powerful Chinese household in Singapore. The second reason is I am a fan of this novelist, Catherine Lim.

I was handed a teaser that is, the first chapter of this book, "Lucy in the sky" and what intrigued me was the flight from London to Australia with a transit in Singapore. The love plot also got me hooked.
I have read many extracts of this old time favourite and thought it is about time that I go into the details which were deliberately avoided in the past because of the pain and suffering.

This is the place which I must drop by at least once a week otherwise, I will feel really cranky. To me, the Botanic Gardens is the best garden which I have visited so far.


I love ferns

Picnic ground

Rooted to the ground

Flowers in bloom

If you have other gardens and parks which you think are worth visiting, please share.

Finally I can breathe better now. How so? I thought I did my body some good by cutting coffee off since Chinese New Year this year. How wrong I was. I started having bouts of allegic rhinitis that is, non-stop nasal congestion that not only cause me to look very unwell in the day but unable to sleep at night. The mucus just kept dripping down my throat when I lay down and caused me to cough in the night.
During a cell meeting three weeks ago, my cell leader who also has the same problem told us that the cure is simply downing some coffee in the morning. Apparently, there is a property in coffee probably the caffeine, which dilates the blood capillaries and thus, helps with the sinus. As a last resort this afternoon, I went to the Coffee Connoisseur for a cup of Azuki Coffee that is, espresso with milk and Japanese red beans. This is an unique coffee mix which I tried for the first time without the whip cream. The congestion has gone since downing the coffee and I am feeling good now.

Are there anyone here who can attest to the effectiveness of coffee on sinus problems?
