Invest In Your Health

Being a health freak, I strongly advocate taking supplements to enhance one’s health and to strengthen the body’s immune system.  I never really bothered about taking good care of my health until I was in my mid twenties when I kept falling ill.  I was easily susceptible to throat infection, flu, heartburn and vaginal yeast infection. I wasn’t watchful of what I ate, never took any supplements, did not exercise and was constantly under stress at work. It was upon the advice of one of my former colleagues that I made a drastic change in my diet. I started to eat fruits on an empty stomach in the morning, made my own fresh fruits and vegetables juices very often and took a good brand of supplements.  Within weeks, I could see improvement in my health. I lost weight, no longer suffered from constipation, complexion improved and did not fall sick so easily.

To have good health and a strong immune system, your body needs sufficient vitamins, minerals, antioxidant and nutrition, apart from getting enough sleep, exercise and frequent detoxification.  However, most of us are always too busy to pop our vitamins. In order to get the right amount of supplement and nutrition for our body, we would need to pop a handful of vitamins and eat lots of fruits and vegetables everyday but how many of us do that everyday?  That is why GBG came out with an easy to consume 10-in-ONE liquid multi-vitamin formula that has all the nutrition that a body needs. It’s a multi-vitamin and mineral with 23 essential vitamins and minerals plus 1,200mg of trace minerals. 10-in-ONE has a delicious fruit punch taste, is sugar-free (which makes it safe for diabetics), has zero net carbs, zero calories and zero trans fats. The benefits of this potent multi-vitamin are:

1. It’s a cardiovascular formula for a healthy heart
2. It’s a super-antioxidant
3. It’s an immune-enhancer
4. It’s an energizer
5. It’s a digestion aid
6. It’s a bone and joint formula
7. It’s an anti-stress formula
8. It’s a vision support formula
9. It’s a memory and mood enhancer

10-in-ONE liquid multi-vitamin from GBG only costs $19.95 per bottle and costs up to 67% cheaper than other major compatible nutritional products.  I would love to try a bottle too and if I am not completely satisfied with the results, this 10-in-ONE multi-vitamin comes with a 60-day “empty bottle” money-back guarantee!  Do give it a try too and see improvement in your health.

Pretty Shoes

Aren’t these shoes for the gals pretty? Koo mah sent them over from Hong Kong several days ago.  Koo mah is always very generous when it comes to buying gifts for them and her gifts are normally expensive too.

Now, Alycia has over 5 pairs of shoes to wear, with 3 pairs of brand new ones.  Looks like daddy does not have to buy shoes for the gals for a long time. While Alycia always gets to wear brand new things, Sherilyn is always wearing hand-me-downs from cheh cheh and luckily she does not mind, in fact she loves wearing cheh cheh’s old clothes and shoes.


Even I like this pair of white ballerina shoes from Zara Girls.

This dainty pair of red shoes would go well with Alycia’s jeans or denim skirt.

Pregnancy At 34 Weeks

I will be 34 weeks pregnant tomorrow.  The Braxton Hicks contractions and tightenings on my uterus are getting more intense and frequent.  This little babe has been giving me lots of strong and painful kicks too.  She weighed 2.2kg on Monday.  My weight is 53kg (increase of 9kg) and has not been going up for the last few weeks. 

I’ve not bought anything for the baby yet and I don’t think I need to buy much clothing for this baby as there is a big load of hand-me-downs previously worn by Alycia and Sherilyn that the baby can wear.  In fact, I don’t think I need to buy any clothes for this baby as she has more than she needs from her 2 cheh chehs.  But knowing myself, I know I will surely not be able to resisit from buying cute baby clothes if I see them when I go shopping.  All I need to buy now  are some diapers for newborn babies and that’s about it.  My brother who stays in Singapore has already bought me some 4 ounces Avent baby bottles.  

People say that when you are expecting your first child, you get all excited and keep buying clothes and stuff for the baby.  Most of the baby things are brand new.  You talk and sing to your baby all the time whilst she is still in your tummy.  With baby number 2,  your excitement is not as intense as when you’re expecting your first baby and with the third and subsequent babies, you feel blasé throughout your pregnancy and there is very little preparation for the arrival of the baby.  Well, it’s just so true.  I feel really guilty and bad that I hardly have the time to talk to this baby. 

I hope this baby will turn out to have a good temperament.  I’ve been yelling a lot at the gals throughout my pregnancy and I really hope that this baby won’t inherit mummy’s horrible and short temper and impatience.

Cheapskate Advertiser

Early this morning, I managed to grab an offer from this advertising network.  The payout is slightly higher than the norm.  I should have immediately completed this assignment and submitted it to the advertiser coz I have just received an email from the cheapskate advertiser informing me that the campaign is cancelled.  Bummer!  And this is not the first time advertisers from this network cancel campaigns.  Many bloggers have ‘kena’ before…..all the time.  I was about to start writing the ad when I saw the email.  What the fun, luckily I have not wasted my precious time cracking my head for ideas to write the ad yet.  That is just so unprofessional of the advertiser to do that.  If they don’t want the ad to appear in my blog, why give the task to me in the first place?

Just What Do You Think She’s Doing?

 

Sherilyn my little rascal is always fully of mischievous ideas and always has a trick or two up her sleeves.  Several weeks ago, I gave her a banana to eat for breakfast.  Sherilyn who can never sit still, was hopping about with the banana, singing away.  She then saw the laundry basket on the floor and climbed inside.   Once inside the basket, she pretended that she was inside a car and daddy was driving the car.  She said “daddy, drive me to Hong Kong to see koo mah”.  And as she sat inside the basket, she pretended she was having a conversation with daddy and was singing away and munching her banana away… happily.   That’s her way of self-entertainment.  I wonder if she could still remember her trip to Hong Kong when she was 8 months old.  We had taken some video shots of the HK trip and if she watches them again now, I wonder if she would have some slight recollection of the trip.

Vomiting Again

Though Alycia seems to have recovered from her recent bout of illness, she still puked once yesterday and once today.   Yesterday, she kept telling me that she’s hungry.  About half an hour before dinner time, I gave her a banana.   Just before dinner, she told me that she had tummy ache and puked.  I thought it was caused by the banana.  This morning, just before breakfast, she also puked, but mostly phlegm.  She still has quite a bit of phlegm in her throat and I guess the vomiting must be her body’s natural way of expelling the phlegm.  Other than the vomiting, she is otherwise very active and has good appetite.

Car Maintenance

Everyone knows how expensive it is to own and maintain a car. I used to spend between RM700 – RM900 per month on car maintenance when I was still working. Now, I don’t work and I don’t really need a car, thus I have no more woes on maintaining a car. I remember a couple of years ago, I spent close to RM4,000 when the engine of my car malfunctioned. As I was entitled to a car allowance from the company I worked for, I replaced the engine with a brand new engine. If I get myself a car now, I will definitely be more penny-wise since I am no longer working. Should I need to change the car engine, I will get a used engine instead as I found out that I can buy affordable, clean, test-driven and inspected used engines that are under warranty from midwest auto recycling, the specialist in used car engine. I shall bookmark this website in my Favorites as I never know when I will need to get a cheap used car engine.

The Girls’ Appetite Is Back!

The girls have finally recovered from their illness, though not 100% as there is still phlegm in their throats.  Their appetite is finally making a come back. 

For the past 2.5 days, Alycia has been talking non-stop about food…. telling me what she would like to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner…. non-stop.  Two nights ago,  she told me that she wanted to eat spaghetti and she kept pestering me to cook her spaghetti the following day and so I promised her that I will cook her spaghetti with minced pork meat and tomatoes for dinner today. 

Sherilyn’s appetite has also come back.  She has started to open the fridge door by herself again – to bring out the fresh milk to drink and cheese to eat.  She drank quite a bit of fresh milk yesterday and today.  When she saw me eating corn flakes with fresh milk for lunch yesterday, she too requested to eat them, though she already had a big bowl of Udon with stir-fried fish paste that I had cooked for her. Last night I cooked them fried rice for dinner.  The gals ate so much to the extent that I had to stop them from eating for fear of them puking.  When I was busy and wasn’t looking, Sherilyn quietly climbed up the dining table and stole a few spoonfuls of fried rice to eat – thrice when I wasn’t looking!   I was really terrified that she would puke again at midnight from overeating, so I reduced her milk intake at night. 

Well, I am really glad that my girls are feeling hungry and starting to demand for food to eat again.  I am praying that their immune system will be stronger and will not fall sick so easily.  It’s really physically stressful on me and financially strenuous on hubby each time they fall sick.

How Much Are You Willing To Spend On Your Hobby?

How much are you willing to spend on your hobby – be it buying some rare coins, some stamps, an art, a memorabilia or maybe an antique car? For most people, the most they are willing to part is a few thousand bucks or maybe tens of thousands of bucks for an antique car. But for a business executive in Orange County California who has been collecting rare coins since childhood, he spent $2.5 million on an 1861 Philadelphia Mint Paquet Reverse $20 gold coin sold by Monaco Rare Coins of Newport Beach, California. I was really bowled over when I read the article from zoomcoin.com.  Are you willing to spend this much on your hobby too?

Vitamin E Oil To Heal Scars

Remember Sherilyn cracked her forehead on Valentine’s Day? I was pretty worried that there will be a permanent scar on Sher’s forehead.  The doctor who attended to Sher advised us to apply pure Vitamin E oil onto the scar.  What I did was I used the remaining Vitamin E capsules that I ate during the initial stages of my pregnancy and applied it to the scar.


I poked a hole on the capsule with a needle and squeezed out the oil. I even applied some of the oil on Aly’s eczema skin on her hands – which eventually went away! I also applied some of the oil on my tummy.


After about 10 capsules, the scar on Sher’s forehead is fading! I will continue to apply the oil till the scar completely fades away. It’s expensive but I’d do anything for the gals.

So if you have a scar which you would like to get rid of, try pure Vitamin E oil!

Space-Saving Cupboards For A Space Limited Abode

We still have up to the end of the year before we move into our new condo. I have always wanted to stay in a condo to enjoy the condo facilities like swimming pool (which I can then send my kids for swimming lessons),  gym, tennis court and much more. Furthermore, it’s way easier to clean up a condo as opposed to a double storey house. One downside is that it’s not easy to cramp everything from a double storey house into a condo as we will have one floor less to store our things. I am beginning to worry where and how we are going to store our things.

I have already started to shop around for space saving and ergonomical furniture and found Inter County, an online store in the U.K. that specializes in office furniture. They carry a wide selection of office furniture and office storage from lockers to filing cabinets, cupboards, bookcases and much more.

I was looking for some office furniture for my little home office and found that Inter County sells high quality Tambour cupboards, which are ideal when space is limited as the doors slide open rather than swing open. I wonder if I can get these Tambour cupboards at our local furniture shop. The other item that caught my attention is the premium corner cupboard, another space-saving storage.

Now, I have in mind how I want to furnish our new condo with all the great tips I have gathered from the internet.
