A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I remember so vividly how I longed to hear Cass let out a fart when she was lying listlessly in the pediatric ward at GMC Penang 3 years ago. As long as she can fart, that will be a sign that her guts are not blocked. Our room was devoid of music and TV as…
Alycia has a very dedicated and hardworking class teacher. Alycia is seldom very attached to someone and she likes her class teacher a lot. She told me that she would like to get her teacher one of those coaches gifts to be given to the teacher on the last day of school. This teacher is…
Cass has a very ravenous appetite. I am thankful that she loves eating and eats almost everything. I do not have to spoon feed her or coerce her to eat, like I did with Sherilyn when she was at this age (4.5YO). A person with a good appetite is a sign that she /…
I have been getting only 5 hours of sleep for the past 2 nights. Oh what else? Busy with work as always and it has been worse ever since the live-in maid left. This morning I woke up feeling really zonked out. I was really tempted to get back to bed for another 5 minutes…
Besides getting ‘heatiness’ from consuming ‘heaty food’, the Chinese believe that one can also get “kar for” or ‘fake heatiness’ from lack of sleep.

Recently, a man was seriously injured when a robber tried to pull a ring off his finger and tried to remove his Mens Diamond Watch from his wrist. The slash of the parang was so hard on his stomach that his guts spilled out! And the victim managed to scuttle home to seek help before…
Sherilyn had the most problems that gave me a lot of worries when she was a baby through now! When she was around 2-3 months old, I was worried sick that she may have Strabismus (cock eyed). We consulted a few pediatricians who assured us that her eyes looked pretty alright. But in photos, her…
When my girls were toddlers, one of the many fears that plagued me was the TV. Back then, our TVs were the bulky type with a heavy body and a bulging screen. The TV in our bedroom had no tv mount stand but was only placed on top of our 4-tier chest of wooden drawers….
About 5 years ago, Sherilyn gave the hubs and I a big scare when we notice that the lymph nodes on the side of her neck, below the ears were enlarged. The nodes were mobile (which was not as worrying as compared to fixed and stationery ones). But still we were worried sick. I would…
Yesterday, Sherilyn coughed out yet another tonsil stone from her throat. She was eating fruits and suddenly, she choked and coughed. Moments later, she showed me that stinky ‘white tooth’. I told her to sniff it so that she knows how it smelled like and would know what comes out from her throat in future. …
