Once again, its chinese new year festive period. Since its 7th day of lunar new year, shall wish everyone a lunar happy human day.(Direct translation, hope u all get the meaning) Anyway, hope you guys and girls enjoy the festive period too. For me though, i has just recovered from my illness which is quite serious at its peak. Hopefully no relapse or else my life gotta get interrupted again. This time, my reservist duties are like screwed up in a way that i dunno will i be fit enough to go for reservist next time as that will depends on what my doctor says on 24feb.
Right now, feeling that my nose are quite sensitive. Always reacts (like sneezing) when dust comes within close range around me. Otherwise, I has obey a healthy diet but has not excercised much due to the hot weather. Meanwhile, I keep myself hydrated by drinking plenty of plain water as the weather is quite scorching. Oh well, anyway look out for my next post regarding another interesting article review but without article scanned. (Due to article too big and wide, i may not scan it but it depends...)
Ok, then... Cya, and have a nice weekend ahead!
Update: Mayb a day of the following week then i blog again as i take a break...

Harmful candies?? or not?
Next up... Candies awareness...
Hope alot of people visiting relatives' or friends' home don't happen to see the above mentioned Blink Pop and Baby flash pop. No doubt, it is pleasant to look at, but to eat the candy is deemed a risk as u may suck up harmful substances if the batteries hiding beneath ever leaks. Thats what AVA deems it as, potential "hazardous" candies.
According to the article some time ago, importers are informed but it seems the message to not sell it is not passed on to retailers locally. Investigations are ongoing thus I will not comment much on who is at fault. Anyway, if you like candies, will you buy such candies if i say the risk of sucking up harmful substances is only maybe just an insignificant percentage? I believe most adults won't, but some may taste it just for its novelty. (Main target group in sg is schooling children though and there are no reported injuries as yet.)
The danger factor which is its light bulb may be swallowed if some people suck it too hard. I personally won't try it as I don't really eat or taste unsafe or deemed unsafe products. Whats the point of trying something which may pose to be perhaps harmful to your own personal health? Better to be safe than never ya? Life is precious and i am sure many people agree prevention is better than cure too. (Although there are alot of people who are more adventurous in tasting food.)
So if anyone wants to be more safe a little more, a check with AVA will probably ensure the candies or other food of unique origins to be purchased is safer to eat or doubtful to the point where it could be harmful. Afterall, a candy that looks visually more appealing cannot be always regarded as safe to eat, don't you all agree? =)
