Healthy life style

Holiday period, Sabrina still wake up at her normal routine time,sometimes even early at 5.45am. Today, she was asked me a question when she was woke up at 5.45. Mummy ! can we find "WASPS" in Singapore ? I am buzzed because I don't know what is "Wasp" ? then she has told me is a kind of "Insects" I'm tried to find the answer by using iPhone to search when we was still in the bed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp I was thinking nothing to do.. if I let her go out of the bed room.. she will definitely will want to read her story book. To avoid her reading at the long hour. Decide to go for a jog at 6.15am.We run from "Punggol flyover highway" just a very short distance from our house. At least Sabrina is a sport person, she is enjoying the run. Morning exercise could help her achieve better of her day, physical fitness, confidence and stronger self-esteem, more energy, better memory, and simply a good feeling about themselves.
