While, I did look at something interesting. heard that S'pore Sentosa has this PINK Dolphin. Yeng~~~~



Uchenna says: “You should brush your teeth for two minutes as soon as you get up, have breakfast and then rinse with a mouthwash.”
Never brush immediately after eating. She explains: “The acids and sugars in food soften tooth enamel and by brushing immediately after eating you are washing away the enamel protection.”
This is essential, says Uchenna, adding: “It’s like cleaning a floor with a vacuum cleaner compared to a dustpan and brush.”
However, in these credit crunch times, electric toothbrushes are not at the top of everyone’s wish list.
Uchenna adds that if you use an ordinary brush and its bristles are too hard, run them under hot water to soften them.
This is crucial to getting that Hollywood smile.
Uchenna explains: “Not flossing is like keeping your socks on while you have a bath. Bacteria are clever critters and the gaps between your teeth are great places for them to hide and multiply.”
Fizzy drinks are bad for your teeth because they attack a tooth’s protective enamel, causing decay.
The solution? “Drink them through a straw,” says Uchenna, “because it will reduce the damage.”
Uchenna says: “Red wine causes ‘purple tooth syndrome’ where sediment from the wine lingers around the edge of the tooth – a most unattractive feature for anyone.”
Chew a piece of sugar-free gum or, if you are out with pals having a boozy meal, opt for some cheese as dessert – it neutralises the acid from the alcohol.
“If you know you are having a few glasses of wine, brush your teeth about an hour before your first tipple,” says Uchenna, adding: “This removes the plaque which attracts the wine.
"Then at the end of the night either clean with water or use a mouthwash.”

They feed on your blood and dead skin as you sleep. And 20 per cent of the weight of old pillows may be dead skin.
That means even more dust mites, which are a known trigger for asthma and allergies.
BEAT THE BUGS: If you have an infestation get an exterminator in... or shell out for a new mattress. With your pillows, bin ones that are more than a year old or put them in the freezer for 24 hours to kill bugs.
THE kitchen is the household hotspot when it comes to food poisoning. Cross contamination - where bugs from uncooked meat end up on raw fruit or veg - is one of the biggest problems.
Raw chicken, for example, can carry a nasty bug called campylobacter that causes sickness and diarrhoea.
BEAT THE BUGS: Use separate chopping boards for meat and veg rather than those with antibacterial coating. They can take several hours to kill bugs.
CARPETS have been blamed for a surge in UK asthma cases in the past 40 years.
They are the perfect breeding ground for dust mites - bugs so small they are barely visible but whose droppings are thought to irritate the lining of the airways.
BEAT THE BUGS: Fit a wooden floor. Experts claim doing so can slash the amount of allergens circulating in the air. If you must have carpet, opt for a short pile so it is harder for mites to hide.
BACTERIA and viruses can lurk on some surfaces for hours. Door handles are one of the most dangerous sites because they come into contact with skin all the time.
One US study showed 26 per cent of door knobs at home and work carry traces of harmful bacteria.
BEAT THE BUGS: Apply disinfectant to the surface using a paper towel to remove residual dirt. Do it again with another fresh towel to get rid of bugs.
THE obvious culprit when looking for hidden hazards in the home. Flushing gets rid of most organisms but some can survive for weeks in a dirty bowl.
Salmonella has been found to live for six weeks in the scaly film that develops on a toilet's porcelain surface.
BEAT THE BUGS: Decontaminate the toilet bowl at least twice a week and scrub regularly to get rid of limescale and scum that might harbour bugs.
A WHICH? magazine study of 33 computer keyboards showed one was five times dirtier than a toilet seat.
Two others had "warning" levels of bacteria and a further two had elevated levels of coliform, a bug usually spread by hands not being washed after going to the loo.
BEAT THE BUGS: Don't eat at the computer, food can spread bugs. And always wash your hands before sitting down to work or play at the screen.
PROBABLY one of the most contaminated items in your home. "They are nothing more than a nest of bacteria," warns Prof Pennington.
If cloths are not decontaminated and dried after use, or are left damp for several hours, bacteria grows on the surface.
Bugs get attached to the cloth fibres and even detergent will not decontaminate them.
BEAT THE BUGS: Disinfect cloths after use, soak in boiling water or put in washing machine at 60°C.
TOWELS and flannels can be a dangerous source of infection because they are often just moist enough to support the growth of populations of bacteria.
Harmful bugs survive for long periods of time on damp towels. Sharing them simply spreads the infection.
BEAT THE BUGS: Always use clean towels and flannels, especially if a family member has a tummy bug.

Cui Bin, 42, of Zhengzhou, has been jailed for three months for bigamy after the story came out, reports Dahe Daily.
He had first married Zhang Dandan and the couple had a daughter together - but he was desperate to have a son.
"I always wanted to have a boy, but due to China's one baby per family policy I had to find another woman secretly," he admitted.
He met Wang Na, married her and they had a son together - and he divided his time between the two households making up excuses for his absences.
Meanwhile, Zhang and Wang had become friends through a shared love of karaoke, never dreaming their were married to the same man.
Wang knew her friend had a daughter and that her husband was a builder who worked away from home. Zhang knew Wang Na was newly married but had not visited her home.
The truth came out when Wang grew suspicious after hearing her husband on the phone to another woman. She rang back the number and could not believe her ears.
"I called back the number and the woman who answered said she was Cui's wife. We recognised each others voices immediately on the phone and were quite outraged at Cui," said WangWhat are the Perseids and what is a meteor?
Every year in August, the Earth passes through rock and dust fragments left behind by the comet Swift-Tuttle, last time it came near the Sun. As these small particles collide with the Earth’s atmosphere, they burn-up, often creating a startling streak of light across the sky.
When can you see them?
