An Evening to Remember: Our Family Reunion at Rasa Istimewa Waterfront

Welcome to Woodlands Waterfront Park For us, it was a change from our usual reunion dinner tradition of either a home-cooked meal or a mini buffet catered at home. This year, we decided to dine out for the first time at Rasa Istimewa Waterfront, a Halal restaurant serving a variety of Zi Char-style dishes. The experience was made even better by the stunning view of the Woodlands Causeway leading to Johor Bahru, with the upcoming RTS railway set to open by the end of 2026. Excited for the speedy ride and custom clearance for a JB day trip in 2027. Though we got stuck in traffic for a bit on our way from the West to the North, I didn’t mind too much. After all, everyone’s in a rush to cross the Causeway and be with their families for the Lunar New Year. That RTS that links us with our neighbour, Malaysia Hello neighbour The restaurant is located on the bridge, and while waiting for my brother and his wife to arrive, we took a stroll along the stretch.

Best sources of vitamin D

Are you getting enough of Vitamin D? Maybe you want to read up this article which I find it useful. Can be found in Yahoo! Best Sources Of Vitamin D

Sunlight is the best way to get your vitamin D fix.

The best source of vitamin D is sunlight, which causes the vitamin (actually a hormone) to form under your skin. Exercising outside is an excellent way to ensure you get your daily dose.
There are only a few foods that provide good levels of vitamin D, including oily fish (eg salmon and sardines), eggs, fortified breakfast cereals and spreads. 

The chief medical officer for England has advised health workers to consider suggesting at-risk groups take vitamin D supplements to avoid the risks of deficiency. A lack of vitamin D can lead to rickets in babies and children. Find out more about rickets at our sister site netdoctor.co.uk

Vitamin D also has several important functions, including regulating the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body. These substances are needed to keep bones and teeth healthy.

The NHS Direct website advises: 'You do not need vitamin D in your diet every day. This is because any of the vitamin your body does not need immediately is stored for future use. Most people should be able to get all the vitamin D they need by eating a healthy balanced diet and by getting some sun.'

The Department of Health recommends that the following people should take daily vitamin D supplements:
  • all children aged six months to five years old
  • all pregnant and breastfeeding women
  • all people aged 65 and over
  • people who are not exposed to much sun, such as people who cover up their skin for cultural reasons or those who are housebound or confined indoors for long periods 
  • people with darker skins such as people of African-Caribbean and South Asian origin
Bear in mind, however, that taking high doses of vitamin D for long periods could weaken your bones.
