After the debate over this by Seow Si Min and Huang Jia Min on her tagboard, i ventured further to confirm my view that Jia Min is right.
a search on askjeeves.com gave some answers:
"The stomach needs water to digest foods, but it draws in what it needs from the rest of the body, temporarily. Also, everything you eat contains water, even meats. Fruits and vegetables are upto 90% water. Drinking liquids with meals is a matter of preference"

"Boosting intake of plain water makes good sense, many experts concur, because water eases digestion and regulates the body temperature.
Water also bathes the cells and accounts for about 60% of body weight. And it can help us exercise longer and more effectively. Drinking water can ward off constipation and maybe even crankiness. And since it's a natural appetite suppressant, water can help you loose weight and keep it off it can help keep skin healthy, although it won't necessarily banish acne."

Did random searches and all evidence indicates that water does helps digestion. Like what i remember.
