In order to survive,you try to make use of every part of fruit you ate.For instance,even the skin from cempedak can be eaten.The seed,which is hard,can be boiled until its becomes soft and edible. You can even eat the shells of groundnuts.

Rationing was introduced to control the sales of essential items like rice, sugar and salt.Each household was issued with a 'Peace Living Certificate' which entitled them to a number of ration cards to purchase essential goods. Once a month, people would line up at the kumiai shop (distribution association) for hours to purchase whatever rations that were available. During that time, it affects their life a lot because they do not have a freedom to like buy them freely rather than using the Malaya Ration Card.

Sweet potatoes and yams became the staple food of most diets of Singaporeans because they were considerably cheaper than rice and could also be grown in gardens. They were then turned into a variety of dishes, as both dessert and all were used in all three meals of the day. The nutrients helped to fend starvation off; new ways of consuming tapioca with other products were regularly invented to stave off the monotony. Both the British and Japanese authorities encouraged the population to grow their own food if they had even the smallest amount of land. The encouragement and produce were similar to what occurred with victory garden in the Western nations during World War II. Ipomoea aquatica , which grew relatively easy and flourished relatively well near the water, became a popular crop, as did other vegetables.

Inference:This suggests that the lives of teenagers in Singapore was very unfair.Not only did the Japanese had all the control of the food and accessible resources but,the teenagers had to wait in line just to purchase rations instead of being able to purchase necessities freely.]]> 2017-02-25 02:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pandalenaa/HIProject_Devin19/wish/156164823 pandalenaa https://padlet.com/pandalenaa/HIProject_Devin19/wish/156226497 In conclusion,people survived through a hard time during Japanese Occupation.The Japanese took their food for themselves.There was very little food so people could not have proper food for their daily lives. So they were only allow to eat limited amount of food from ration cards and even line for hours for some food.They also eat food from the ground.Also whatever food they got,they will try to eat it until every edible part of it is eaten.People in prison also suffered because the Japanese does not give them enough food to eat.They get their food by making themselves their own recipe.The Japanese Occupation changed their style of living,from having lots of food and having fun to less food available for themselves and under strict rules by the Japanese which makes them insecure.Although the Japanese encouraged them to grow their food,they still do not have enough food to survive on.During Japanese Occupation,people easily starve to death from the insufficient food available to them.They even disrupted Singapore entrepot which caused their food to decrease because they will not get other countries food.Most of the families lived on a diet with porridge with sweet potato or tapioca.]]> 2017-02-26 07:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pandalenaa/HIProject_Devin19/wish/156226497
