I have come to a realization. I am a nurse by profession, but my mum is an even better nurse when it comes to taking care of our health. She just told me that I should take lots of yoghurt after a round of antibiotics to replace all the good bacteria which the antibiotics might have destroyed.
Darn...I should have known better. And now I'm down with a stomach flu. Sigh...
Anyways, I witnessed an outrageous scene yesterday. I had just knocked off from work and was waiting for the bus when I saw a little girl wandering nearby. She was about 2 and a half, maybe 3 years old...suddenly she stoops down and picks something from the ground. And then she puts the thing to her mouth. To my utter shock and disbelief, it was a used cigarette butt! And then she just squats there with the cigarette butt in between her lips...then she takes it out and holds it between her fingers, the way smokers do it. I was so shocked. My goodness, you never know what children learn these days, and they learn from a very young age.
When I bent over to look if any adult was around (a pillar was blocking my view), I saw a lady smoking away. My guess is, that was her mother. The little girl continued "smoking" her used cigarette butt which she had picked up from the dirt until her mother beckoned her to throw it away.
