Welcome to the Year of the Tiger 2010!







It's another 2 weeks' more before the Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year falls on 14th February 2010 this year - it's the year of the TIGER! It's also Valentine's Day!






The decoration at Pavilion is nice. I like the hanging lanterns right at the entrance. It gives you the 'mood'. I like it!






You should see the entrance of Tangs too! Everything is red here and you can see many shoppers snapping photographs using the decoration here as the backdrop. But this purple lion caught my eye. I've never seen one in that color before.






Kong Hey Fatt Choy to all my friends! Wishing you happiness, great health and prosperity!






OIL PULLING

I started oil pulling late last month and couldn't stop since. I won't call it addictive but just that I want to do it every morning!

It started after I'd purchased a bottle of coconut oil from an organic shop back in Penang. It was supposed to be taken orally - one or two teaspoons daily in the morning, on an empty stomach. Of course this is for health reasons. But it's not easy to swallow the coconut oil on an empty stomach. No, its definitely not for the faint hearted.

After a few mornings, I decided to stop. But what am I going to do with this bottle of coconut oil? Then I remembered I read something about oil pulling in one of the many emails received. So I decided to check it out on the internet and found this website http://www.oilpulling.org/ Read quite extensively about oil pulling on the internet and decided to give it a try.

Apparently, oil pulling can heal headaches, ulcers, bronchitis, toothaches and many more illnesses. It's actually a very simple process, but you will a need to get up earlier in the morning to do it. It takes about 15-20 minutes to do it. You can go to the website to read more. I've finished using that first bottle of coconut oil and now I've bought another bottle of Sunflower oil, it's better to get the organic type.

After oil pulling for almost a month, I'd noticed that my mouth is not so dry. My sister has just started and she hopes it will cure her mouth ulcers.
