A Typical Day with My Octogenarian Parents

Yesterday evening, Dad wanted to steam fish for dinner. But when he opened the freezer, he discovered that we had run out of fish. 😅 So, off we went to Chong Recipe chap fan instead.

I love bright colours. My life is pretty dull as…

Mum Is Back At Zumba With Me

Mum followed me to Zumba class yesterday evening, and I’m really glad she did. ❤️ She had originally planned to stop going to the gym for a few months because of the chronic aches and pains in her legs and back.

Today, the second Friday of October, is World Egg Day! It’s a day to celebrate this humble little superfood — a nutritious and affordable source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals.

My gym partner — aka my 80-year-old mum — has decided she’s NOT giving up the gym just yet. 💪😄 Despite her chronic aches and pains in her legs and back, her acupuncturist and physiotherapist have encouraged her to continue with strength training.

Why Nuts Became My Go-To Snack

For the longest time, nuts have always been my go-to snack. They’re nutritious, filling, relatively low in carbs and, when eaten in reasonable portions, generally have much less impact on blood sugar than the usual sugary or highly processed snacks. Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fats and are great for heart and brain health. Almonds…

So… Apparently Pepper Can Have Fillers Too!

I was today years old when I found out that the ground white pepper I bought online was NOT 100% pure pepper! 😂 Instead, it contains ground rice mixed with white pepper. I didn’t even know until my mum asked me to check the ingredients coz I told her that the pepper had no taste….

Ballon of bingo: welke heeft betere winkansen

Ballon of bingo: welke heeft betere winkansen De meeste artikelen over crash-spellen en bingo slaan de plank mis. Ze doen alsof beide alleen maar “leuk” zijn, terwijl de echte vraag draait om winkansen, spelregels, uitbetaling, volatiliteit en de verwarring die bij veel spelers ontstaat zodra casinotermen door elkaar worden gehaald. De harde waarheid: een crash-spel…

Can a Walk in the Forest Really Boost Your Immune System?

I love brisk walking outdoors, especially in places surrounded by lots of trees and greenery. And apparently, there may be more to it than just getting some exercise, helping you de-stress, and enjoying the scenery. Trees and other plants release natural chemicals called phytoncides. These are volatile compounds that plants produce as part of their…
