Health drink. 馬草汁

Daddy boiled the plant to make the drink. A 民间药方. He heard from old neighbours that this drink helps to detox, relieve swelling, expel pus, relieve intestinal abdominal pain and more (some I not too sure how to translate). 

治铜钱癣，发丹，杀虫，化腐肉 ，清热解毒，消肿排浓，用于肠胃腹痛，臃肿疮毒，产后瘀阻腹痛。

Some other health benefits:

Generate healthy red blood cells, improves immune system, reduce cholestrol, prevent heart diseases, prevent intestine related diseases, lowers high blood pressure, prevents dementia and more.

This is good for me, especially on the swelling part. My family has history on swelling. Worried.

A photo a day : Honey Baked Chicken Wings

Tonight's dinner, honey baked chicken wings. I followed this online recipe, though I'm short of the sesame oil: http://www.noobcook.com/honey-baked-wings/2/. Taste not too bad, but of course there is still room for improvement.

I didn't realise today is such an interesting day. Interesting date.

Dayre

I'm blogging on another platform too. Dayre. Came across Singaporean blogger Xiaxue, who used this platform to share her cute son's photos and decided to try it out.

It's like a daily micro blog. Even though I post at different times of the day, the post will b consolidated into one post, displayed as though it is one post. Good for a journal kind of blog. Logging down all the micro stuff that happened in the day. 

Do you have a Dayre account?

And we were there at 9am to grab the two items on sale today. A very worth it shelving unit @ $49 (UP$159) and the quilt @ $29.90 (UP $49.90). And of cos some other stuff that we need. 

Happy to shop in a non crowded Ikea. Even the restaurant has lots of unoccupied tables. Rare sight. Haha.
