A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My mil bought a very huge sour sop from Ipoh the other day. I can’t remember if I had ever tasted soup sop before in my life. Well, it tasted very much like apple custard but the flesh has a tinge of sourish taste and the sour sop that she bought had very few…
Lately I have been getting only 4-5 hours of sleep every night. I know this is REALLY devastating for my health. I can see you shaking your head at me now :S But there’s just too MUCH to do and I can NEVER complete my work. I know you will tell me to wait until…
I had wanted to blog about this for a very long time. What prompted me to write this today is when I saw this lady (probably her age is mine, about mid 30s) who is heavily pregnant working out in the gym this morning. This is her 3rd pregnancy. I have always seen her working…

After delivering Sherilyn my #2, I found it hard to shed the last 2 kilos. For a few months, I drank a kind of flavored protein powder in the morning. That was supposed to be a meal replacement drink and works something like the best weight loss products but that did not help me much…
Whenever my 3 kids drive me up the wall to the point that I feel like throwing in the towel, I stop for a moment, take a deep breath and reminisce what I had gone through years ago. 9 years ago, I told God that if only he could give me one child, I will…
Several months ago, my mum gave me a scare of my life. She told me that she had slipped on the wet bathroom floor and fell, landing on her back. God must have been watching over her as she didn’t break any bone, albeit the fall caused a huge patch of blue black bruise on…
I recently discovered that my used face mask can be utilized to ‘mask’ my super dry feet and cracked heels too. I don’t know if anyone else does that too. I find that such an expensive facial mask can be put to better use instead of throwing it into the bin after 15 minutes of…
