Perfectly Smoothies. Beautifully blended for health enhancing benefits. 21st Century Cafe. My lifestyle. My cafe.

We, including kids, love to drink smoothies (made from fresh yet ripe-to-eat ingredients of  tropical fruits and vegetables) as they contain extremely healthy sources of vitamins and fibres that meet our daily quota for the in-take of  fruits and vegetables.

The favourite choices are mango smoothies (a wonderful juice with  unique flavour that goes well with oranges too), pineapple smoothies (which contains enzymes that helps digestion), banana smoothies (which is not only sweet and silky but also contain potassium - believed to play a role in controlling high blood pressure), blueberry smoothies (which helps boost the immune system and believed to have anti-ageing properties as well) or the carrot smoothies (with a combo of pineapple or the watermelon-a real thirst quencher fruit) which are simply irresistable.

So remember to order a healthy smoothies to go along with your steak or seafood meal.

Some useful financial tips for couples / families :
1) Marriage creates wealth. Divorce destroys it.
I have witnessed many untold stories of wealth destruction (in some cases in excess of 50%) on the original value of wealth of families before the divorce occurred.

2) Communicate, communicate, communicate
Communication is vital to the management of family finances. Verbal, e-mail, sms texts or whatever ways work between the couples to identify and pay for joint finances is very important. We make too many simplistic assumptions on such joint spendings which should be carefully planned out at an early stage with a carefully thought out long term solution.

3) Manage your family living budget
Pen down your monthly fixed costs (including varied and healthy family meals) against available income in order to actively manage your family living budget.

4) Family debts
A major cause of divorce is the mis-management of debts. Always use cash to pay off purchases unless credit cards offer real discounts for its usage. Remember to pay off the credit bills promptly, for obvious reasons.

Over a longer period of time, it is a proven winning formula for families to build wealth by entering a mortgage on an affordable home. However, incurring debt on cars which you otherwise cannot afford does not improve your family life in the longer term.

Lots of couples / families suffer great financial stress from mis-understanding and then mis-managing the mortgage debt and debt on cars. A basic rule is to start eliminating a small portion of your current debt (whether in mortgage/car/credit card etc) today and you will eventually achieve financial freedom in the longer term.

5) Family savings
Save today for your children's education in the future and also for financing your retirement lifestyle. Decide what you want and start doing it today.

Yes, diamonds are forever. It could be passed on to the next generation and the next few generations if parents (both father and mother) teach their next generation the gift of thrift and the value of hard work to buy that diamond in the first place. Agree ?

21st Century Cafe Group. My style. My fashion.

21st Century Cafe Group. My lifestyle. My cafe.

With a healthy body, we need to select clothes that reflect our spirit or temperament and more importantly our style.

So, what do we look for in clothes ? Some useful tips as below:
1) Do not confuse style with fashion.
When a certain range of clothes come into fashion, everyone who wears it is fashionable. But it rarely confers style for everyone.

2) Do not imagine that time governs style.
Time only governs fashion. Look at some old portraits and unless you know the time period, you would not know if the wearer's clothes are fashionable but you can tell if they had style then.

3) Choose some clothes that are not in fashion.
Clothes that are in fashion in one year are often out the next. But there are some clothes that are distinctive and independent and may be suited to the wearers' style year after year.

4) Be selective of the tried and true.
Good serviceable clothes may become dull and ineffectual when used too often in the same way. Avoid the tried and true clothes in your entire wardrobe.

5) Remember that style is an increment in your dressing.
When we say a writer's got style, we do not mean his command of English. When we say the wearer's got style, we also do not just mean we like the cutting of the clothes.

6) Never sacrifice comfort to style.
Clothes that make you fidget cannot be worn with style.

7) Dress in a way that comes naturally.
Do not be afraid to experiment and find the style that fits you. Every well-dressed person, by the style the wearer selects, reveals something about the wearer's personality and individuality.

Hope the above helps your style and your fashion in clothes.

21st Century Cafe Group. My lifestyle. My cafe. My healthy body.

You don't have to eat like a mouse, if you exercise regularly ...

As always, it is important to have healthy exercise habits for the long term :
- As a kid, I trained to represent the school in a cross-country race.
- As a teenager, I went to the gym to build my body for strength and endurance.
- As an adult, I maintain my body by continuing to run, go to gym, play soccer, play badminton or take on other sports I loved to do. What are your favourite sports ?

Some useful exercise tips:
- know your body well and set a realistic goal on what you want to achieve out of the healthy exercise programme;
- rotate amongst the different types of healthy exercises you love to do;
- each time you do your healthy exercises, do it intensely but for a short period of time only and not over-doing it such that your body cannot withstand it, thus resulting in sickness thereafter;
- allow your body to recuperate at least 2 to 3 days after the exercises;
- go and enjoy the nutritious food you loved to eat. I mean it because whenever I am hungry (after the healthy exercises) I am always a happy person at the dining table;
- continue to exerise regularly and enjoy a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life. Because when you are busy or stressed and if you skip the healthy exercises, your body will start to react negatively as fatigue sets in.

Like eating a wide variety of nutritious food, I believe in taking on a variety of healthy exercises for building and maintaining my body from a teenager through adulthood and for the rest of my life. If you have enrolled into the army for training, you will experience great physical and mental pain to achieve a lean body. But you still need to continue to exercise regularly thereafter and continue to eat nutritious food if you want to maintain that lean body and to achieve longevity for the rest of your life.

So, you really don't have to eat like a mouse.

21st Century Cafe. With the right nutrients, every bud will bloom.

Sharing some healthy tips for a child and teenager's growth, strength and lean body.

1) Globally, child/teenager (or the children) obesity is a real problem. Nip the problem in the bud by encouraging children to enjoy a wide variety of nutritious food and its subtle tastes comprising :
- vegetables and fruits
- meat (eg beef, lamb), poultry (eg chicken), fish, live seafood, eggs, unsalted plain and mixed nuts etc
- carbohydrates eg rice, bread, pasta, noodles etc
- milk, yoghurt, cheese etc
- plentiful drinks, fruit juices, smoothies etc.

And care should be taken to choose food low in salt and to consume moderate amount of sugar.

With nutritious food prepared safely and served warm for consumption, you can allow children to eat whenever they wanted to and if they are full, never force them to eat when they don't want to. Children need more fatty acids (eg salmon) for brain development and growth. Of course by eating together as a family in most, if not all meals in a relaxed atmosphere, children's growth can be checked regularly.

Poor eating habits would lead to obesity, retarded growth and impaired mental development.

2) Physical activities should also be carefully planned for children. By using the right breathing techniques etc, children can develop a fit and lean body with strength and endurance and be ready for new challenges as they continue to grow as adults into the future.

Hope you find the above tips useful.

21st Century Cafe Group. My lifestyle. My cafe. A life story.

A life story.

As a child - my parents decide what I eat.

As a teenager - consensus of my close buddies decide where I eat.

As a working adult - proximity to work place (ie "eat to live"), corporate policy and value-for-money are important criteria as I self-actualize in my chosen professional field.

As a family person - I decide my lifestyle based on what's good for my family (especially growing kids) and that's where I "live to eat" based on many factors like affordable, friendly, fun and clean environment coupled with great customer service and exciting food promotions from experienced chefs.

Every day, enjoy every meal. During this upcoming festive season, please visit 21st Century Cafe or join as a follower to know more of our exciting food and daily specials promotion.
