Besides getting ‘heatiness’ from consuming ‘heaty food’, the Chinese believe that one can also get “kar for” or ‘fake heatiness’ from lack of sleep. This I have to agree because I am susceptible to throat infections or simply feel sluggish and sickly if I do not get enough sleep. I have been getting only 5 hours of sleep for the past few nights and feel lackluster now. I am SO GLAD that there are 2 public holiday falling on Thursday and Friday respectively, followed by the weekend! This would mean that I need not have to be up by 5am to get the girls ready for school.
YAY!!! And happy holidays peeps!!
