A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My kitchen is often closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Today is no exception. As it was still raining in the evening, rendering it very troublesome to drive out to a nearby restaurant or coffee shop for dinner, we went to the Japanese restaurant at our condo for dinner. The hubs was stuck at a client’s…
Many years ago, the SIL had a very beautiful Persian cat with greyish whitish fluffy soft fur. The cat required pretty high maintenance from food to grooming and vaccinations. It slept in a cage and on some days, it would be allowed to roam in the house. I wonder how the cat would know that…
The other day, I bought a box of apricot pits / kennels from the supermarket. Thinking that the apricot pits would taste just as good as almonds, I was in for a major disappointment as the pits were bitter. There was no way I was going to eat the box of apricot pits, not even…
Last week, Sherilyn seemed to have lost her enthusiasm in ballet. I asked her if she was willing to quit class and she said ‘yes’! Instead, she told me that she wanted to learn violin and asked me to get her an exceptional suzuki violin at musician’s friend. That was definitely a rash decision from…
My kids call their daddy Handy Manny for their daddy is indeed one. He has a whole array of tools at home, including a straight line action clamp to help him carry out minor restoration works and installation of fixtures at home. Had he not been in the food catering business, I think he would…
I realized just the other day that my neck and ears have been really bare for many years! From someone who used to accessorize herself like a Christmas tree (during my pre-kids corporate years), I have metamorphosed into a Plain Jane. I do miss those bling bling jewelry on my neck, wrists and ears but…
I was feeling really drained and had a heavy head for the past few days. I kept telling Alycia and Sherilyn that I felt dead tired when we left the house to wait for the transporter at 6:20am for the past few days. Though I had about 5 1/2 hours of sleep, I still felt…
The other day, we watched a travel documentary on TV. It was about a group of Asian students studying at a university in the UK traveling Europe on a student travel tours package. My eldest daughter asked me if she could do the same when she goes to university in future. I sure wish that…
It is so true when they say that if you buy a piece of good quality swimsuit, it can last you for many years. The hubs bought a very costly piece of swimsuit for Sherilyn when she was 4 years old but she only wore it for a year as she outgrew it too fast….
When our live-in helper left last year, I flipped when I opened the door of our washing machine. Having had a live-in helper for over 10 years, I hardly ever touched the washing machine. The first thing that greeted me when I opened the washing machine door was mold. The rubber tube sealing the opening…
