A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
This morning I had a scare of my life when I was working out on the Air Walker in the gym. As usual, I was reading the newspapers and working out simultaneously. About 15 minutes into working out, I thought I heard the sound of electric sparks coming from the plug point. I brushed it…
Alycia had her first taste of chewing gum when she was 6yo last year. It was my dad who bought her some chewing gums when we went back to Ipoh. Since then, she has been hooked on chewing gums. I did not quite like the idea of her chewing on sweet gums until I read…
Baby C will turn 3 years old in 2 months. She is now pretty independent and wants to do everything on her own. She wants to shower on her own, knows how to brush her teeth without my help, she can wash her down under by herself by holding on to the bathroom faucet after…
I had a shock of my life last week when I felt a big lump on the back of Baby’s head. Baby had woken up really early that morning and my helper was still mopping the floor. When my helper saw Baby running on the part of the floor that was just mopped, she did…

Baby’s first meal of the day is fruits. I have been having fruits for my breakfast, on an empty stomach (or half an hour after food) for over 10 years after being influenced by my erstwhile boss who is a cancer survivor and another health freak colleague who is a staunch follower of eating fruits…
I love the current wet and cold weather. It has been raining almost everyday and the temperature is pretty low at 23-24 degrees Celsius at night and in the morning. We hardly get this kind of cool weather in our hot and humid country and I am enjoying every bit of it. I don’t even…
My helper and I had a hearty laugh several days ago when we saw Sherilyn’s vanity which turned awry. Sherilyn was preparing to go for ballet in the evening. After dinner, she took a shower and then spent some time in front of the mirror at the bathroom sink area. I was too busy to…
