Speaking of the goodness of honey (28 June posting), I might as well share a remedy for flu.
UMF-rated honey*, when taken at the onset of any symptom, arrests the flu from developing further. Complete healing comes within the next couple of hours.
I take ¾ of a teaspoon of the honey as it is, ie without […]
Man’s love affair with honey is now threatened by a phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
Bee colonies worldwide are mysteriously declining at alarming rates. US beekeepers estimate the loss of managed colonies at 36% from 2007, following a 31% loss from the year before.
Bees exhibit a peculiar behavior - when an individual feels unwell, […]
This local Singapore plant is interesting.
They look rather ‘out of place’ against the trunks on which they appear to root, so I am not sure if they and their hosts are the same plant.
But if they are leveraging on hosts, they are definitely not parasitic – the hosts appear very healthy indeed.
Their large pink flowers, […]
The hooha among the Chinese public over the docking of Japanese warship Sazanami at southern China’s port of Zhanjiang reflects the hurt and torment North-East Asians still harbor of Japanese aggression during World War II.

This minimalist piece captures the spirit of family reunion, represented by a family of wild ducks.
None of what we think we own are really ours. Not our talents, our strength, nor even our children - much less wealth and possessions.
Churches remind us every so often (because we conveniently forget) that we are but stewards of what God has blessed us with, and entrusted upon us. It is interesting to note […]

It is hilarious how the characters execute kicks, back flips and flights exactly like Jackie Chan does. Incidentally, he is one of a few heavyweights lending their voices to major characters in the cartoon show.

I chanced upon the ‘template’ folder as I meddled with my wife’s brand new touch screen LG KF600 mobile phone, and came across the canned message which says “I am late. I will be there at ____.”
So I looked up the list of canned messages in my two-year-old Nokia model, and voila! there it was, […]
Hamas and Israel start on a truce today. One of those stories that repeat so often in the papers that they can hardly be classified as news.
This truce pertains to the Gaza Strip. General skepticism over whether it will last is captured in Israeli Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit’s comment. “The idea is a complete ceasefire […]
Just this recent Sunday, my wife and I noticed this lady coming out of the driver’s side of a nice car, well made-up, sporting attire, bounce in her stride.
But for the knitted headwear covering a balded head, we did not guess that she is recovering from cancer.
Her will to live out her life is […]
