A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Fried rice is one of the easiest and tastiest meals to whip up in a jiffy. Plus I can dump all the left over overnight food to fry with the rice. My fried rice normally consists of chicken breast meat from the roast chicken (siu kai fan) that we take away for lunch (no one…
Our electricity bill each month can chalk up to five hundred ringgit. For the past few months, I have been very strict with the girls, in order to bring the numbers on the bill down. I will walk round the house like a disciplinarian, checking all the rooms and heater switch, reprimanding them whenever I…
My girls are spoilt rotten by their daddy. They can have whatever their hearts desire, unlike me who had to work hard to get what I yearned for when I was their age. My girls get almost everything that they wish for most of the time without having to earn them. Blame it on those…
My late maternal grandma was very conservative and superstitious. When I was a child, I was not allowed to do many things.

Yesterday while jogging back from the park, I almost fell when I missed a step on the stairs. Thankfully, I managed to land on both feet firmly on the ground. Many years back, my right foot landed on its side when I walked down a curb. My foot was swollen to double its size! I…
2 more years to the big four! Many people have been telling me that I don’t look a wee bit like I am nearing my forties but I do feel some differences between being in my twenties and being in my late thirties. Thankfully I don’t have any age spot yet, thanks to my parents’…
At 3YO, Baby is still a very constipated toddler. Though she eats fruits and veggie everyday, she still has issue with constipation. On days that she suffers from painful constipation, she will look crestfallen the whole day until the poop pops out 😀 On constipation days, I will force her to gulp down cups and…
