FollowI got a surprise of my life today when Hui Sia sent me a text message at around noon informing me that the Google PR of my blog http://healthfreakmommy.blogspot.com has been promoted to PR4! I just could not believe her and I could not check it myself as my computer was still at the shop. When my computer finally…

Finally Got My Computer Back
The computer guy finally sent my computer back. I was told that my computer was badly invaded by virus!! No wonder it keeps hanging and acting so strangely lately. He had installed an AVG anti-virus software into my computer. He had also installed the new version of Internet Explorer, version 7 into my computer and consequently,…
My Insurance Agent Desperately Needs Sales Leads
My insurance agent was even more excited than I am when she found out that I am pregnant with my third baby. But of course, there’s always an ulterior motive and I know she’ll be the first few people to visit me after my delivery as she’s desperate to get hubby and me to purchase…
Updates For Today
Internet connection has been super duper bad today. I’ve wasted so much time trying to sign into Blogger, then have to wait like forever for the page to download and I can’t even upload pictures to my posts. To make matters worse, my gmail is down and I can only view my mails in HTML…
Eating Cereal With Milo
Remember the organic cereal that I had bought earlier? Well, after eating them several times, I just feel like they smell like dog food and chicken feed. Maybe that’s because they contain very little sugar and there are no food additives to make them taste good. It could be due to my raging hormones that are making my taste…
Food’s The Great Motivator
That’s Alycia’s mid-morning snack in school today. It’s toasted black sesame and wheatgerm bread (2 slices) with boiled chicken ham (I only buy deli meat once in a blue moon coz it’s not very healthy), cheese and crispy seaweed. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Alycia has extra Mandarin class after school from 11:45am – 12:45pm. So on these days, I’ll prepare something more…
Sunflower Seeds
After tasting a couple of sunflower seeds that were meant for Alycia and Sherilyn’s paper sunflower craft at Sunday School last Sunday, I was hooked on the seeds. The next day, I went to the grocery shop to buy a packet which only cost RM1-00. This brand of sunflower seeds has a tinge of herbal taste…
Affordable Email Marketing Software
A friend of mine who runs an organic shop is looking for ways to increase the turnover and profit of her business. She has already created a website for her shop and is now planning to reach out to more people to create awareness on her organic shop. She found out that there is a…
I’m Hooked On Steak
This baby must be a meat lover, especially beef, pork ribs, mutton and curry chicken. I am really crazy over steak and hubby is more than happy to know that coz he loves steaks too and now, he has even more excuses to buy steaks. Each week, we will shop for our steaks at Village Grocer…
Pre-Natal Vitamins
These are the pre-natal vitamins that I am currently popping : Vitamin E, Multi-vitamins, Vitamin C, Folic Acid, Calcium Lactate and I have recently started to pop Neuro Gain, a kind of fish oil that’s supposedly good and recommended by gynaes too. It’s very expensive costing almost RM2 per capsule. It’s known to aid in the baby’s brain development. I hate…
Check Out This Health Site
Being a heath freak, I just love reading magazines, books and articles that are health related. It all started many years ago when I constantly fell ill and had all types of ailments from head to toe from headache to heartburn, gastric, persistent throat infection, nose allergy, PCOS, infertility, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and many more…
I hate plain water…no thanks to my wacky hormones
Eversince I got my first bout of morning sickness since week 8 of the pregnancy, I never liked drinking plain water. The sight of plain water sends nausea down my guts instantly. I only like flavored water but it must be unsweetened water coz anything that’s sweet also made me nauseas. So what I do now everyday is put…
Lunch at Gardens, Mid Valley City
We were at Gardens @ Mid Valley City yesterday afternoon after church. Hubby wanted to bring us to a Taiwanese Restaurant (Fong Lye) located on one of the top floors. We entered the restaurant, ordered some dishes but were later told that there were no baby chairs. As the regular adult chairs were too low, we…
Cheap Flights To Dubai
My parents who are planning a trip to Spain next year would like to have a stopover in Dubai for a couple of days as they’ve heard so much about the fantastic shopping in Dubai. My brother who is a seasoned traveler told my parents that they can get cheap flights to Dubai if they…
New Pumpkin Patch Skirt and School Bag
Today, daddy bought a funky skirt for Alycia from Pumpkin Patch @ Gardens, Mid Valley City. Alycia has expanded quite a bit over the last few months and she could not squeeze into most of her pants and skirts anymore. She has begged daddy to buy her a pair of jeans but all the jeans…
Substituting Dark Thick Sauce With Bovril
My 2 gals love to eat ‘kon loa’ noodles (or noodles with dark thick sauce) from the hawkers stall. I don’t like my gals to be eating too much dark thick sauce as it’s an unhealthy condiment – the sauce is loaded with sugar that’s cooked till it becomes thick caramel. Any carbohydrate that is overcooked and burnt produce cancerous…
