A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Before the kids came along, I was a health freak who would diligently make fruits and vegetables juice several times in a week for my hubs and myself. After the kids’ arrival, everyone in the house including the helper have never been busier. Within a time span of 5 years, I popped 3 babies. Life…
There will be a reunion dinner organized by my former classmates. This will be the first ever big reunion dinner thrown ever since we left school 21 years ago! I would love to attend the dinner but I dread the thought of bringing along my 3 girls to the dinner as the venue is not…
The man whom I normally buy vegetables and meat from on the mobile market van sells sour sop fruits occasionally. He told me that sour sop can be used in soups and extolled the health benefits of sour sop, citing that it is good for reducing cholesterol, killing cancer cells, etc. So for the second…
Another meal on the menu that my girls never get tired of : fish soup with fish balls. A wok of nutritious fish soup boiled for over an hour with pumpkin, tomatoes, 3 big chunks of fish, anchovies, garlic, a slice of ginger and Chinese cabbage … A bowl each of Udon with yummy fish…

“Scooby Dooby Doo where are you, we need your o o rrr help…..!!” Up until today, the Scooby Doo cartoon jingle still jingles in my head very vividly. Scooby Doo, the funny and helpful big brown dog was my favorite cartoon when I was a child. When I saw Scooby Doo tri-color pasta at Cold…
The doctor who operated on Baby’s eye chalazion was himself a patient of recurrent eye chalazion when he was a little boy. He, too, had his eyes operated on several times when he was a child. The pain that he went through as a little boy had prompted him to be an eye doctor or…
When my kids, especially Alycia (who is the most fussy eater of the three) get bored with fried noodles, fried rice, noodles soup and sandwiches for lunch, I make them something that all of them love to bits – sushi and California rolls. My version of the sushi is a healthy one, complete with cooked…
