Nián Yè Fàn 年夜飯 Reunion Dinner 2022

A reunion dinner "Nián Yè Fàn" 年夜飯 (also known as Tuán Nián 團年 or Wéi Lú, 圍爐 meaning "gathering around the family hearth") is traditionally held on Chinese New Year's Eve during which family members gather for celebration. It is considered to be the most important part of the celebration and every family member is expected to return to their families. Traditionally, married couples will go the the man’s parental homes (and to the woman's parents on the second day of the festivities).

Reunion dinner is supposed to bring everyone in the family harmoniously together, but for some reasons or other, not following the tradition, is causing tensions among families. This is especially so if one is celebrating his/her reunion with his/her parents as well as with the in-laws. It is therefore not surprising that one would have reunion dinners on a different earlier dates and nowadays, some hold it a week or two before the actual day. By doing so, the traditionalists believe that the Chinese New Year's Eve Reunion Dinner is losing or has even lost its meaning and significance.

To keep up with the tradition that Chinese New Year's Eve Reunion Dinner should be held on its actual date, and that married couples should return to man's parental homes, many families are compromising in order to make everybody happy:

• Eating reunion dinner twice, which means having the first dinner early, and then rushing off to do a second dinner by a certain time on the same actual day.
• Alternating the dinners yearly, one year with parent and following year with in-laws.

3 Ways to Improve Sleep Quality

Do you have sleep problems such as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep?

Sue tries to get in bed by 11.30 pm every night to get her seven hours of sleep. She then struggles to fall asleep for the next hour or so. She has difficulty staying asleep and often wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. At the same time, every day at 6.30 am, the alarm goes off and she hits the snooze button. By 7 am, she’s made herself a big cup of coffee—the first of many for the day. She gets through the day constantly battling yawns and refilling her coffee mug. The cycle repeats.

If this scenario is familiar to you, then you may not be getting the quality sleep that you need. Experts tell us that the long-term effects of sleep deprivation can affect us negatively in several ways. Having stressed the importance of sleep, here are some simple tips on natural sleep remedies that you can incorporate to hopefully achieve more restful sleep.

Dubious weight loss products sold online

Can harm your health

As you surf the Internet, you are likely to come across various weight loss products through influencers on your social media feeds and advertisements on websites. They promote the perception that being slim equates to looking good, and offer products that supposedly can help you to achieve that.

It may be tempting to take a quick and easy route to losing weight, especially when online weight loss products may be sold at promotional prices and claim to have fast and amazing results. However, purchasing such products online carries significant risks to you:

• The product claims are often exaggerated or unsubstantiated by any scientific evidence and impossible to verify.
• You cannot be sure what these products contain, and where and how they were made.
• Unscrupulous dealers may sell products with undeclared potent medicinal ingredients (i.e. adulterated products) to achieve effects quickly, but taking such products can be extremely harmful to your health.

Dangers of Buying Health Products Online

Learn about the dangers of buying health products online and how to be a smart consumer

With the growing popularity of online shopping, the Internet has increasingly become a medium for the selling of health products such as western medicines, health supplements and traditional medicines.

Nowadays, health products are easily available through various Internet platforms, such as company-based or e-commerce websites, online pharmacies, online auction sites/classified ads, discussion fora, blogs, and social media.

The borderless nature of the Internet makes it difficult to authenticate sellers and the safety and quality of the products. Consumers are strongly advised to exercise care and caution when purchasing medicines and other health products over the Internet as these products could be counterfeit or contaminated with banned substances. Risks of Buying Medicines and Health Products from Dubious or Unknown Websites:

• You could be buying products that contain dangerous, even deadly, ingredients
• You know very little about the seller, and where/how the product was manufactured
• You could be buying products that have not been assessed for their safety and have not been approved for use locally

From oil spill to wastewater

A history of severe ocean pollution

On April 13, the Japanese government announced that a plan to release more than one million tonnes of contaminated water from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean had been approved. According to Tokyo, the work to release water will begin in two years.

However, this is not the only case of severe man-made ocean pollution in history. From the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 to the Japanese ship oil spill in Mauritius in 2020, man-made ocean pollution is not a new phenomenon.

On March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez, an oil tanker owned by the Exxon Shipping Company, struck the Prince William Sound reef in Alaska and spilled about 37,000 tonnes of crude oil into the water over the next few days. It was considered one of the worst oil spills ever in terms of oceanic environment pollution, as it directly caused the death of a massive amount of fish and other marine animals and ruined the local fishing industry, which was the primary income earner for residents along the coastline. The Exxon Shipping Company spent almost $2 billion to clean up the oil spill. However, based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) 2007 report, some toxic materials from the oil spill still remained in the area.

Joke of the day

Breathing Can Affect the Way You Sleep

Let’s say you do everything in your power to ensure a good night’s sleep. You make sure the temperature in your room is perfect, you avoid screens before bedtime, you invest in natural sleep supplements, you’ve done it all. And yet, somehow, you find yourself waking up throughout the night or wake up feeling like you haven’t slept at all. Don’t give up hope quite yet – the answer may be in the way you’re breathing. So, how can you breathe for a better night’s sleep? Allow us to explain!

First off, you must understand the link between breath and sleep. You can’t expect to get a deep, restful sleep if you’re having trouble breathing at night. Studies have shown that patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea have a higher prevalence of insomnia. On the other hand, other studies revealed that 90% of all awakenings were led by sleep breathing events, despite no earlier diagnosed symptoms.

Nasal breathing is one way to ensure better sleep. Other than the fact that breathing through your nose filters bacteria and viruses and can support immune health, breathing through your nose allows you to retain more oxygen. You can get more oxygen with fewer breaths, as opposed to breathing through your mouth, which causes your tongue to fall back, blocking the airway. Individuals who breathe through their mouths are more commonly experience sleep disorders. But how do you make sure you’re sleeping through your nose if you’re asleep? Great question! There is a method called “mouth taping,” we know it sounds a bit absurd! Place a little piece of tape on your lips to help train your jaw shut, don’t use a large piece of duct tape; opt for blue painter’s tape. Take a small, stamp-size piece of tape, place it at the center of your lips. You’ll still be able to breathe, but you’ll be straining your jaw shut.

How to Use Your Partner’s Pheromones to Improve Your Sleep

Beauty sleep is more than just a myth. Getting a good quality night sleep can improve your overall physical and mental health. But for some people, sleeping well is not that simple. Countless studies have been made on the subject and came up with various ways to improve your quality of sleep, all coming up with tips that will help you get proper rest. One such study that was recently conducted at the University of British Columbia suggests that one way to sleep better is to smell the pheromones of your romantic partner. In fact, participants of the study were exposed to their partner’s scent and ended up sleeping better, even if the partners weren’t physically there when they slept!

No need for sleeping pills - One of the chemicals that regulate our sleep is melatonin, and when people have trouble sleeping they often take a melatonin supplement to help them sleep. Those supplements usually improve your sleeping quality by two percent. According to the study, sleeping with a partner’s scent (even if it’s just on the pillow next to you or wearing one of their shirts as pajamas) can improve your sleep quality just as well.

Testing it out - The research was conducted on a group of 155 subjects. At first, the subjects’ partners were given a shirt they had to wear for 24 hours. During that time, they were not allowed to use deodorant, smoke, or eat food that has an effect on their body odor. Then, each subject was given their partner’s shirt along with a different shirt that was either clean or worn by a stranger. Each shirt was then used as a pillowcase for the subject to sleep on, switching back and forth between the two. Each night of sleep was followed by a survey the participants filled out when they woke up, and the movements they make in their sleep were monitored by an actigraphy machine. Unsurprisingly, when sleeping on the pillowcase that had their partner’s pheromones on it, they moved less and felt more rested the next day.

Chope: To reserve a seat by placing a packet of tissue paper on it

The Origin of the Word “Chope”

I chope this post, so please like my post, but don’t chop my post

The Singlish phrase ‘chope’ needs a dedicated post. Although everyone goes on about tissue paper packets in food courts and coffee shops, the word ‘chope’ has an interesting history.

What Does it Mean? The Singlish word ‘chope’ (Slang for reserving a seat) was derived from chop; to leave a mark. The word ‘chop’ was originally from the Malay word cap, which is from the Hindi word छाप ćhāp (stamp). ‘Chop’ and ‘chope’ are sometimes sounded the same because of the blending of the vowel sounds. Normally when a silent ‘e’ occurs at the end of a word, it converts a vowel to is ‘long’ equivalent:

• chop = “chop”
• chope = “chohp”

In Singapore, these two sounds are blended into one sound, and the diphthong is kept short for ‘oh’.

He recounted: "To my shock, I saw bags being placed at the MRT platform's glass door even though no one was standing there:

• "I only realised later that those bags belonged to some aunties who had wanted to board the 5.20am train as well.
• "I also observed a man hanging his bag on the glass door using a S-hook. He was leaning against the glass door when the train approached.
• "All of them were standing beyond the yellow line and pushing each other when the train approached the station.

Upon seeing this, netizens called out the behaviour, with some jokingly saying that he should have opted to use a pack of tissues instead.

OTH also urged visitors to be considerate and not leave their belongings behind when not using their amenities.

While it’s unlikely for amenities like hawker centre food or supermarket groceries to run out, tables – for studying or meetings – at the integrated building remain a finite commodity.

Putting Packets of Tissue to “Chope” Seats

Chope, This Seat Mine: The Immutable Laws Of Singapore’s Hawker Centers

I have witnessed overly-cultured and genteel visitors from strange lands descend onto our popular hawker centre (where they serve flavors that define the country’s culinary culture), at mad peak hour moments and wonder, “Ahem, so is someone going to show us to a table for 4?” Not going to happen ma’am.

The technique of securing seats at those feeding frenzy hours had long ago been reduced and translated to a fine art form called “chope.” The first thing chope master artists do is to hone in on an empty table and mark their turf — by putting the cheapest or most useless personal item they have on them, usually a half used tissue pack, a cheap ball point pen or even a worthless bargain stall umbrella on the seat.

That, in mod-Singapore street food speak, means “lay off, she’s taken,” or in local vernacular called Singlish “Chope, this seat mine” (a local English slang, sans the polite grammar and attitude the British left us with).

How To Overcome A Break-Up In 7 Steps

Many find it difficult to accept separations and say goodbye. It triggers uncomfortable feelings to look at the relationship reality and the separation reality. But saying goodbye gets harder when you look away and indulge in dreams and good memories:

• Why is saying goodbye so difficult - Many people avoid goodbyes. Because they are afraid of losing the familiar and of the uncertain new things.
• How different can breakups be - There are mutually fulfilling relationships that end because a life choice leads to them. There are relationships that were quite unsatisfactory and yet it is difficult to get over the breakup.
• Why did our relationship just end like this - A breakup that seems inexplicable to you is particularly difficult to process. But there are reasons for a breakup. Relationships don’t just end like that.
• Why am I afraid of saying goodbye - Many people avoid goodbyes. Because they are afraid of losing the old and of the uncertain new. Saying goodbye helps you against this fear.
• What do I gain with a successful farewell - You realize that your life will go on no matter what happened. Enriched in this way, you can boldly venture into the new and unknown.
• How can I say goodbye to my dreams - In reality, a lot has probably happened that you didn’t want. You may have rarely written to each other, hardly seen each other and when there were problems, one or the other only looked for excuses instead of trying to find a solution.
• How do I manage to say goodbye - Farewell rituals can help. You might want to have a farewell conversation with your ex’s picture. Especially when the real person doesn’t want to talk to you.

COVID-19: Singapore includes daily Protocol 2 cases from 22 Jan 2022

Singapore eases COVID-19 measures wef 29 Mar 2022

Singapore to change reporting of daily COVID-19 infection numbers wef 22 Jan 2022

Updated 26 Apr 2022: Singapore to lower Dorscon level from orange to yellow from April 26

The Republic will be stepping down its Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (Dorscon) framework from orange to yellow on April 26, given the improving local Covid-19 situation. Dorscon yellow generally means that, on the whole, life can go on as normal. Singapore had stepped up its disease outbreak response to orange on Feb 7, 2020.

Dorscon is part of Singapore's pandemic preparedness plan that describes the current situation and what has to be done. The stepping-down of the Dorscon level from orange to yellow is due to the improving local Covid-19 situation, where the number of daily cases is falling and stabilising; the high levels of vaccination; and the disease being typically mild, except in the unvaccinated and vulnerable groups such as the elderly. This was announced on Friday (April 22) in a virtual multi-ministry task force press conference.

In the Dorscon colour coding system, green means that there are just minor problems. Yellow - the status from April 26 - refers either to a mild infection, or a severe infection that is not spreading here, but of which the community needs to be careful. Orange means that the disease is severe with transmission, but is generally contained, and has moderate to high public health impact.
