A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Our 2-day 1 night stay in Westin KL last week was more like a food binging trip. My hubs had to utilize his free room-stay and dining voucher, so we had a food marathon at the hotel. I ate so much that I felt like my tummy was about to burst. When we came home…
I used to think that cigars were only for the poor. When I was little, there was this man on his bicycle who used to come to our house to collect money from my dad. He’s the ‘middle man’ who helped my dad buy ‘numbers’ (something like Jackpot). He was always puffing cigars and I…
While waiting for my friend to pick up Sherilyn for ballet class just now, I saw an old man walking from the lobby to a school van parked outside the lobby. He looked like he was in his late 70s and he was hobbling. As he walked towards the school van, I told Sherilyn “oh…
It was a rainy and breezy morning today. It’s a perfect weather to lie in bed and to continue dreaming. I wished I could sleep longer and enjoy the warmth under my blanket but I pulled myself up from bed. As usual, I can hardly ever enjoy sleeping in until the skies turn bright. I…

I wonder what my hubs will give me for my birthday next month. I have hinted to him many times that I want a DSLR camera badly. But I think a DSLR will be out of his budget as it can be very costly for a good one. Even if I don’t get what I…
What is considered a luxury for me? Not diamond rings, not a pedicure or a manicure or a hair do in the saloon. If I could lie in bed and rise at 8am without having to worry about the kids or work, now that’s luxury in my own term. When you have kids, gone are…
Today I feel very agitated, crabby and overwhelmed with work. Must also be my hormones wrecking havoc within me and partly caused by my 3 kids. Every Saturday I will be maid-less for half a day as my mil will take our helper to the wet market. Every minute of the morning I hear screams…
The one gadget that I must surely buy this year is a new cell phone. My current cell phone is over 3 years old and always acting up. There are so many types of cell phones in the market ranging from iPhone to Blackberry, Motorola Xoom, Smart Phone and all kinds of android cell phones….
