Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
In Chinese culture, feng shui plays a major part in our lives as many believe that if feng shui is used properly, it will bring us good fortune, protect us from bad luck and more. Whilst there are imbalances of yin/yang chi of the space, it will create bad feng shui. Sometimes it will bring disaster and even, death.
Hello everyone! This is my second ghost story and the topic is school toilets! Whenever people start talking about school toilets, it always gives me goosebumps. I hate going to school toilets as they are always so small, dark, wet and dirty.
Back in the 80s and 90s, girls’ toilets in Singapore had two types of toilet bowls. One type was for squatting and the other type is the more common seated toilet. Even now, in some shopping malls, you will still find one or two squatting toilets inside the girl’s toilets in Singapore. There are still many people who like to use them as they are more hygienic than using a shared toilet seat. Nevertheless, back to the story.
Being a parent for almost seven years, I have often found brown patches on the bathmat after someone earlier was getting changed while sitting there. Each time, I have to name and shame one of my children and keep telling them how to clean themselves after going to the toilet.
In fact according to Andrex®, 34% of parents rate teaching their children how to be clean after going to the toilet as the most difficult parenting task, beating teaching them to brush teeth (15%), holding cutlery (5%) and blowing their nose (3%). So I am not the only one facing the same problem. Therefore Andrex® wants to start a conversation around what being clean really means and demonstrate that how we clean and care for our intimate areas can make a huge difference, not only to our physical wellbeing but to how good and confident we really feel. It’s done this by creating the Andrex® Clean Routine and this is the guide.
Earlier this month, I was invited to an Andrex® event but unfortunately I could not make it. They have kindly sent me this informative new health report that revealed an estimated 15 million Brits are unsure how to clean themselves properly after going to the toilet.
There are so many type of children’s toothbrushes on the market but to stand out in the crowd the toothbrush must be fun, with a cute theme and last long. The Rockabilly kids does just that. Children can rock them and yet they won’t fall! It will always spin itself back up again.
