water

Today's topic for discussion is water. Before we go into anything, I have to admit I'm scared of/hate water. I just cannot learn how to swim. Somehow I managed to get through my national service without learning to swim also, thanks to SARS and some clashes with my PC. Ok, but that's not today's main points.

1. Water is important as it hydrates your body. Please always drink more water than what you think your body needs. My total water intake for today reads: 1 packet of Milo, 2 500ml bottles of hundred plus, 1 500ml bottle of plain water, some sips from the water cooler and the tap which should amount up to >500ml, 1 bowl of chendol and several glasses of chinese tea. So you must see the point about drinking lots of water, as I managed to go through a day under the scorching sun only ending up with abit of sore throat frm scolding the kids.

2. Water is important because it cleans your body. Or at least its the more common way of cleaning your body. Of course we got other ways of cleaning your body, for example an army way will be to do powder bath, which involves pouring powder over your naked body to keep your body cool and dry. But still more people will prefer bathing with water.

3. Another important use of water is that it is used extensively in cooking. It is not easy to get a decent meal without water. You need it to wash ur ingredients for a start. You need it to cook rice. You need it to be added to the soup. You need it for practically anything.

Actually the list goes on and on. Eg generate power and maintaining Earth's global temperature. But this is the most important point about water: 水能载舟也能煮粥!!!
