Did You Know Your Toilet Position Affects Your Health?

I love to squat when I do my toilet business.
Now that Singapore has become so advance and modernised.
I could hardly find a toilet that allows me to squat to poo.

Then........
I look forward to visit my in-law's every Sunday because one of her 4 toilets has a squatting-bowl and I LOVED IT!!!

And........
Ever since we started to frequent Malaysia at least once a week more than 2 years ago, I was overjoyed! Because I can easily find a toilet cubicle with a squatting-bowl!
Yeah!

Plus.......
Ever since I shifted to my new place, I realised that the coffeshops' in the vicinity also has squatting-bowl cubicles!
*clap clap clap*

Alright, I'm going to tell you a 'secret'.
*laugh*
Its probably no secret after today.

Ready?

Actually....I rest my feet on a stool when I poo.
Sometimes I would tip-toe while my feet are on the stool, so much so that my knees are VERY bent, just like as if I am squatting.
So now you know what I do behind the doors......
*laugh*

Today, I was delighted to hear that what I had been doing is actually good for my health!!!!

*clap clap clap*


When we stand, our Puborectalis muscle will prevent our feces from dropping out.
When we sit, this Puborectalis muscle will be partially relaxed.
And when we squat, the Puborectalis muscle will be fully relaxed, hence its easier and more effective for our poo to shoo out of our body.

Lack of dietary fibre might have been thought to be the cause of constipation, hemorrhoids, colitis, appendicitis, colon cancer and other related health issues.
However, some researchers found out that our bathroom posture plays a more important role in causing these problems.
Of 'cos, having fibre in our diet should NOT be omitted either.

At The Stanford University Pelvic Floor Clinic, squatting is not only recommended with patients with colon issues, it is required.

Here's a video that explains it all.
I am NOT doing an advertorial post for Squatty Potty.
Just that this video makes me happy because now I understand why I love to squat or bend my knees when I am doing my Big Business in the toilet...... simply because I'm Listening to what my body wants.

Simply because, 

We, 

Humans, 

anatomically, 

are designed 

to squat to poo.

*wink*

Viewing Videos stored in Samsung Phone ON TV

When it comes to IT stuff, I am still at my Kindergarten level.
Yet, just now I made a pleasant discovery about my phone.

I owned a Samsung Note II for almost 8 months.
I am aware that it has MANY functions, but the ones that I know are very basic; like making and receiving phone calls and messages, downloading apps and using them, writing with the S-Pen, last but not least, taking photos and videos with my phone.

While watching a video on my Samsung Note II just now, sitting next to my son, who was watching Cartoon Network programmes, I accidentally pressed onto an icon on my phone and OMG my video was showing on my 47 inch TV!!!!

I was in disbelief!
I tried again!
YES!
Its no bluff!!!

Hubby was alerted, came out of the room and was just as amazed as me.
He picked up his Samsung S3 and  tried.
It worked too!
But not as well as mine as his took a longer time to load and process.
Mine was PERFECTLY OK!!!

I have no idea what made it happen as there were no cables connected between the phones and my TV and I have NEVER linked my phone to my TV before.

We are so happy to see that the videos remained sharp even though it was enlarged to my TV size.
Yeah!
Now we can watch our Vietnam Trip videos and our boys' soccer tournament videos and WHATEVER videos that is stored in our phones on the BIG SCREEN!
Hooray!!!!
 *clap clap clap*

Did You Know that you could view the videos in your Samsung Phone on your Smart TV?
I didn't until I pressed this icon accidentally :~

Walking Dead : Walk to Your Own Burial Ground

I hardly do blog posts in Chinese because my written Chinese sucks.
Yet, I speak in Chinese more often than English.
Alright, I'm weird. *laugh*

Summarized Translation: In Indonesia, black magic is used on corpse, so that the dead could walk himself/herself, or should I say itself, to his/her/its own burial ground. *Eyebrows Raised High High*

Self-Playing Piano

Personally I find it quite eerie!

Every school day, my hubby and I have 45mins of couple time. Its the gap between dropping one at school and waiting for the next to be released from school.

Last week, we went to explore a new shopping mall, ARC, which stands for Alexandra Retail Centre.
It is so new, only 60% of the shops were taken. The other 40% were either under renovation or still waiting for takers.

It was at level two.
This piano from Christofori was playing by itself.

Pretty amazing, at the same time, quite eerie too!
