Fruits in season - Mangosteen

It is the middle of the year where the seasoned fruits are sighted in fruit stalls and supermarkets. One of my favourite would be the mangosteens. They dont looked pretty but the flesh in them are so juicy and sweet.



Closer look at the juicy flesh inside.

Studies have shown that phytoceuticals in Mangosteen (in some cases known to be its xanthones) have properties such as: anti-tumor (shrinks tumors), anti-leukemia, antifungal (critical for all cancer patients), antibacterial (to protect DNA), antioxidants (at least two dozen different kinds of xanthones are in the mangosteen fruit), antiproliferation, kills cancer cells and causes apoptosis (programmed cell death) for some types of cancer.

So start eating more mangosteen. :)

Escalators

More photos on escalators. You can compare the escalators in these photos with my previous photo in my earlier post to see the big wheels that can be seen in the transparent panel of the escalators in the previous post.

Escalators at Causeway Point

Escalators at Vivo City.

Geez, I dont think I did a good job taking photos of them, they looked untidy....lol.

Escalators at Suntec City Link

The link from City Hall MRT Station to Suntec City is now open. If you come from The Link, you can take these escalators straight to suntec city. Take note of the escalators, they are transparent and you could actually see the machines moving inside.

Geez, I did not know they have giant wheels in them...lol.

Hippotours

This is one of the way to go sight seeing Singapore. It is known as the hippobus. I just missed taking photo of the ducktours - a boat that can travel on land and sea. More information on them, you can view them on their website.

Mother's Day

This trophy was given to me about five years ago by my two sons. Every mother's day, I would take it out of the cabinet to look at them. I like them so much sons and trophy.....hahaha. I guess in every child's eyes their mom is the World's Best Mum.

I know I had long given the title to my late mom who was also in my eyes the World's Best Mum. :)

I wondered why Mother's Day is so well celebrated and commercialised, while Father's Day is a little so quiet. Maybe women love to be pampered. :)

Well we celebrate Mother's day one day ahead to avoid the anticipated huge crowd in all restaurants/eateries in Singapore on the actual day of Mother's Day.

We had dim sum and of course our favourite chilli crab at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. Yummy.

Wishing all mothers a very Happy Mother's Day.
