Uniquely Singapore!!

Tomorrow is a EAT WITH YOUR FAMILY DAY!


Eat With Your Family Day is a nation-wide initiative that serves as a reminder on the importance of having meals as a family.


Eating together goes a long way towards keeping the family close. Initiated in 2003, the Centre for Fathering realized that Singaporeans are often too busy with work, school and other personal commitments to enjoy a meal with their family. http://www.fatheringmatters.com/sg/EWYFD


MAGDALENE SAYS - SHOULDN'T THEY MAKE THIS A HOLIDAY?
CECELIA SAYS - WHOSE BRIGHT IDEA IS THIS? WORK THEM TO THE BONE FOR 364 DAYS AND LET THE POOR SOULS EAT WITH THE FAMILY SO WE CAN PUT IT ON RECORD THAT WE ARE A CARING SOCIETY?
THOMAS SAYS - NOW NOW! CHILDREN. YOU REALLY SHOULD STOP. THEY ARE DAMNED IF THEY DO; THEY ARE DAMNED IF THEY DON'T. AT LEAST THEY HAVE RECOGNISED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT'S A START. IT IS AN UNUSAUL SCHEME WHICH POINTS TO SOME WORRYING TRENDS. PERHAPS WE SHOULD WORK TOWARDS ADDRESSING THE ROOT PROBLEM, WHICH IS THAT PARENTS OVERWORKING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IMPINGES ON THEIR FAMILY ITME. SO EAT WITH YOUR FAMILY DAY IS A GOOD START BUT WE NEED TO LOOK INTO DEEPER ISSUES THAT ARE PLAGUING OUR FAMILIES.

CECELIA - KNOW ALL!
