A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Years ago, I met a real cocky and snobbish real estate agent when we were looking for a unit at our condominium to purchase. I remember clearly one Sunday morning I made a call to him at about 10ish am. When he finally answered the call, he chided me for calling him so early in…
I love lemons and oranges! They are bursting with vitamin C and the juice of the lemon neutralizes the acids in our body. And lemon juice is great for those who want to shed some weight too! The juice breaks down the oil that you have eaten. If you suffer from gout, stock up your…
One of the downsides of condo living is that the onus is on you if water from your unit leaks to the floor beneath yours, though you have done nothing wrong. Over the past 4 years, we have hacked our bathroom floor umpteen times to fix the waterproof layering but water is still leaking to…
I got a major shock of my life when Alycia told me horridly that she saw 2 teeth sprouting out from Sherilyn’s throat! I quickly took a look and felt a gush of warm blood rushing up to my head and I felt giddy. The 2 white stuff from the right side of her throat…

This is one of my cravings for breakfast on those PMS days… Wholewheat ABC cereals which I hijacked from my daughters with pecans, pistachios (untoasted) and strawberry yoghurt. This combo pleased…
The other night, I bought a punnet of baby plums (Angelino Sultanas) imported from Turkey from the night market. In the darkness of the night, I could not see that the plums were coated in a layer of white stuff. The next day, I got a shock when I opened up the punnet of plums. Each…
I am fortunate to have a health freak mil who stays with us as she often whips up healthy meals for us, using only fresh ingredients and mostly organic ingredients for her bakes. Here’s another of her most cooked one pot meal – multi-grain fried rice with multi-colored veggie — red, green and yellow bell…
