Nutrition 101: Popular Dishes

So before I start my post, let me entice you with some delicious food from our country, Singapore. Char Kway Teow Chicken Rice laksa Nasi Lemak These are some of our popular dishes and trust me, they are indeed mouth watering if you can get the best of the best. I have tasted them a long time ago and even though I have eaten the healthier versions except for the char kway teow, of course nothing beats the cooking in their traditional forms. While there are extremists like *ahem* yours truly here who don't eat them anymore, actually you can still indulge in them. If you intend to lose weight or maintain your current healthy weight, consider the tips I have included here below. Recommended number of times you can eat, by the experts? One per fortnight . And no, I don't mean all in one go. The problem with these food, though delicious, is of course the calorie content which is very high. For example, the coconut milk used in laksa and nasi lemak or...

My Personal Health Investment

While people are very much focused on investing money wise for the future, we must not forget to invest in our health either. Honestly, if you think that going veg or going organic is the way to go, it may not be necessarily so for you to live healthy for most of your life. It still comes down to doing what is right for your body and to learn to have a healthy well balanced diet. I know I talked about this many times but it's not coz I'm trying to constantly influence people but it's a way for me to also justify why I'm doing certain things in life so that I will remain focused and not be easily swayed by other people's opinions about me.  If you ask me, you can have your piece of cake and eat it too. I mean you can argue it's fattening coz it's hello, there are triple layers of chocolate in there. I got people telling me, oh isn't chocolate fattening? I mean seriously, say what they want to say and it's not like I snack on huge amounts of chocol...

Bills, Bills, Bills

Did you notice my new header? Finally I got a proper one..hah! I used to manually type in and tweak the html coding with a lot of pain and time taken to configure to make everything working out smoothly. And then now I just have to use the template designs available and while I'm at it, I become a tech goondu (or idiot, if you are an American), and suddenly I have a problem inserting my own personalized header, haha. Sometimes they say, if you make things a lot easier than they should have been, our brain will shut down slowly. By the way, the one on the extreme right is the latest one as in, it was taken in December last year, but still latest one alright. If you say that I seem to age backwards instead, you're half right except that I get aches occasionally after a long hard day at work and then I still walk to the nearest mall (about twenty minutes away) which further add to the aching pain. All for the sake of saving some transport money and to add in a bit of an exerc...

Online Shopping

I just found a website that sells NYX Cosmetics that are not selling in Sephora and also in the personal stores which are so affordable in Singapore and they are currently having a huge discount.  Go to G Market (Singapore Version) They claimed that their items are authentic and all the way from US. I was this close at getting the NYX 10 shadow palette from a US website until I saw how much is the shipping charges and I almost fainted. And that thing itself doesn't really cost much. And then to know that in Singapore they are selling the item and I managed to get mine at $14.60. For a freaking 10 shadow palette!! And I was twittering about how expensive a Maybelline eyeshadow palette is with just 4 colours. But I shall not blow my horn too early and I will get the item first before committing to my next purchase which is one of the top selling lipgloss in Make Up Geek store, a US online make up site. And that item, including local normal postage, is less than $10. Even my ...

Government Cash Handouts

I heard one of the happiest news of my life, yesterday! So happy I got myself an M)Phosis bag from Marina Square in the afternoon! Ok, I actually did intend to buy the bag even before the news since I told myself that I would get a bag from there if they were having sales. It's just that this news make the purchase more seh weeet. I know I've said that I'm very mindful over what I spend but some sales cannot be missed because it's generally from them that I get my stuffs. I'm picky over my sales items coz whenever I have to spend money on myself, it better be worth it. My friend, who associates people's personality closely with their star signs, will just imply that I'm picky or rather fussy coz I'm a Virgo. And I've always said, you have never met a true nit picky Virgo until you meet my mother. So what is this news? They are going to reimburse me back the money I paid for the tv & radio licence! Whoohoo!! That will be $110, thank you very ...

If Life is A Fairy Tale

If only life is like the fairy tale, where everything is so fine and dandy, the evilness banished from the face of the earth, and everyone lives happily ever after. If only I get to be in a chance encounter where two hearts start  beating as one and good things will happen soon after.  But never mind. If life is like a fairy tale, the animals will start talking and that will seriously creep me out..haha. Every night, I like to escape from the harsh realities of life and just start to have my mind wondering in the depths of soap dramas where some scenes just set my heart a fluttering especially when it's too freaking sweet.  I always believe one closed door will lead to another open door. You will never know when good things will start to happen to you and then you ride on the wave of excitement when you look forward to new and better things ahead. Currently, as you have probably figured out, I like watching 90210. I still say it is a train wreck alright but there ...
