Weekend happenings: 22/23 Sep 2007
We’ll be having something on every weekend (and some weekdays too!) for our remaining “tenure”. So what’s up at the library@orchard this weekend?
This Sat (22nd Sep, 3.00-4.00pm), we’re having a local author over. Betty Khoo-Kingsley was the former editor of Her World magazine and is now a holistic health researcher & writer, a passionate environmentalist and biodynamic gardener. She has recently written Cancer Cured Naturally, a book about natural strategies to manage and prevent cancer. This book is available at the libraries, under the Singapore section (SING), Call No.: 616.99406 KHO. Check our catalogue for where you can find it.
So pop by on Sat and pick up some tips on healthy eating, stress management and physical/mental techniques that can be used to boost your immune system, as well as inspiring stories of those who fought with cancer, and survived.
Next, on Sun (23nd Sep, 3.00-4.30pm), we have another wellness event. Our speaker, Sim Pern Yiau, is a graded Senior Instructor and Researcher of Taiji Gong at the World Nam Wah Taiji Gong Association. The Association teaches undiluted and traditional Taiji Gong from the direct lineage of Grandmaster Wu Tu Nan of Beijing.
Feel that you’re always rushing about and being blown from one thing to another? Pern Yiau will presenting a session entitled “The Eye and the Hurricane: Tackling Your Daily Rush From a Strong Centre”, where participants will be able find out how Taiji principles and techniques can help us cope in a fast-paced, multi-tasking world.
Wellness is one of the core concepts at library@orchard, and we’ve consistently tried to build up a substantial Health & Fitness collection (ie the books tagged with the -[HEA] suffix). So join us this weekend for a toast to your health!

Yes, eating raw has lots of benefits. Also, we are sharing with lots of friends about growing our own sprouts. It’s easy and safe. One of the best ways to enjoy a healthy diet. Its also fun for the kids!
