When The Man Is Down

Hubby hardly fall sick but when he does, he really stay sick for a few days! He caught the bug from us. We are all recovering now. It is more difficult for hubby to recover when the weather is cold. It has been raining for a few days. When he is down, his body needs heat. He needs hot weather, he needs to eat a lot to heat up his body and he needs to drink hot and heaty drinks like ginger tea.

Having your own business does not allow you to take medical leave unless you have someone to replace you. Unfortunately his part-time staff is not able to work this whole week. So, hubby still have to go to work when he is sick. How I wish I can take over for him but I have my 4 children to mind.

Please pray with me that God will heal him ASAP. :)

Leftover KFC for Breakfast

Yesterday, I treated everyone at home KFC coz I got RM50 from my brother for helping to send and fetch his girls to and from kindy. Ya, ya, ya, I should use that money to pump petrol eh. :P Nevermind, petrol is in my budget already. This RM50 is extra so, must bless others with it. :)

Hubby was at work as usual and I still buy 2 pieces for him coz he loves KFC. Unfortunately he came home way too late to enjoy the KFC and now, I am eating it for breakfast. Got to look for best weight loss pills after this coz fried chicken is fattening!

Do I Have To Take Prenatal Vitamins When Pregnant

I heard testimonies about prenatal vitamins can make you and your baby fat. Come to think of it, it is true you know. When I was pregnant with my first child, I took prenatal vitamins until I am due to deliver. Due to it, my weight increased 17kg! With my 2nd child, I took until 20 weeks. Weight increased more than 10kg but it was hard to shed that extra weight. I was lingering at 52kg only after 6 months delivery. Come to No.3 & No.4, I did not take any prenatal pills. My pregnancy weight increased less than 10kg and after a month, I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Both baby are strong and healthy. So, you don’t really have to take the prenatal vitamins if you watch your diet during pregnancy. But I do take my normal supplements though. ;)

Cycling To Get a Flatter Tummy

For the past 2 weeks hubby was able to cycle to work, thanks to one of hubby’s part-time staffs who has been working for almost every night. Due to cycling, he has a flatter tummy now. As he was looking at the sensa weight loss product online, he was very happy that he does not need to swallow any of them yet. His next mission is to jog to work because he wants a more complete body workout.

More Breakouts

My hormone is changing again and now it is for the worst. :( I have so many breakouts but I couldn’t be bothered to get any adult acne treatments. Reason being, I am no longer young, I am a mother of 4 and hubby never has any problem with the acne on my face. You know, he fell in love with me months before I get the worst breakouts in my life and he did not leave me. To him, inner beauty is more important than outward. *ahem* ;)

What is Panau in English

Panau is called Pityriasis Versicolor in English. Something to do with overgrowth of yeast fungus and it is very infectious. It becomes worst when one who has it sweats or eat too much vinegar.

I got a lot of them now coz hubby has it which he got from his dad! I tried a few types of Panau ointment by they did not work. :( So far, there is no one medication that works like magic; a few times apply, they will be gone forever.

I wonder whether those eczema cure medication can work for Panau?

Love Our Body

Ever since I lost weight until I am underweight, I am popping more supplements to boost up my health and energy. To me, it is ok to be underweight as long you are fit and healthy.

I am not very particular about the supplements that I take whether it is cheap vitamins or those expensive ones. As long as it works, I am game for it.

So far, so good. I did not loose weight further. My weight increased back to 45kg. I think I like to maintain at 45kg. ;)

Wrinkle Reducer

Child minding 6 children does have its side effects. I think I am developing more wrinkles and high blood pressure. It is easy to mind my own children because I have disciplined them since young to be obedient. I also thank God for blessing me with such obedient children. Prayer really works. Unfortunately, my nieces are the ones that makes my blood boils every day when they are here. Their parents did not discipline them at all and let them have their way. Reason given by my brother, “They are young, they don’t know what they are doing. They will behave when they grow older.” It will be too late to mold them when they grow older!

So, while they are here, I try to discipline them my way but I think I really need one wrinkle reducer right now. :lol: Very stressful you know. If you want to sponsor one for me, I will take the prototype 37c. It has the perfect blend of powerful anti-aging ingredients to help your skin repair, rejuvenate, and protect your skin.

Sensitive Nose

For the past few days, I have develop sensitive nose. I am very sensitive to dust but now, I am very sensitive to smell.

Normally, I won’t gag smelling my baby soiled diapers but now even the soiled diapers is a meter away, I felt like gagging already. And my nose is very sensitive to strong body odour too. I really don’t look forward to my MIL’s maid coming back here! My nose can even tell know whether my girls wash their private part or not without needing to go close to it to sniff!

This is not the side effect of human growth hormone. But another type of hormones is being produced in my body.

Near is Blur

I am going to be 36 years old by end of this year but due to the challenges in life, I think I am growing older faster that the rest who are of the same age as I.

I am short sighted and has been wearing glasses since I was 14 years old. 20 years later, I have long sighted! I discovered it when I was taking my meals. I was wondering why is my rice looks blurry. Then I took my bible and tried reading it. I find it hard to read the tiny prints.

*sigh* I guess it is also mainly due to too much time spent facing the computer screen. Time to consider getting a magnifying glass? hahaha or maybe I’ll just buy the discount prescription glasses over the counter.

All because many commented that he is FAT. hahahaha.

Hubby is Fat

Many commented that hubby is fat. Without a doubt. His pants and jeans are tight. Some of them, he can’t even buckle it. I am sure it must be my mom’s yummilicious food and lack of exercise because most of the time, he is stuck in his shop. He better do something about it. Find ways to exercise or take alli. If not I am sure, his prosperity tummy will grow even bigger!

Still Not Insured

I am not so sure whether I should buy medical insurance for myself. I have lots of insurance quotes with me but still undecided whether to buy or not to buy.

Our of my blogger friends just had an operation to remove a fibroid from her womb. She told me that she is insured and she need not worry about the cost of operation. Her only worry was whether it will be painful or not.

If the same were to happen to me, my body will feel pain and my hubby’s pocket will feel pain too. :P

More Unclean Food Now

Looks like I got to start checking out http://www.coloncleanser.net. Wondering why? Well, since I resigned from cooking, we have been eating at my mom’s during the weekday and eating out during the weekend. My mom loves to cook sambal prawns, sambal squids, sweet sour crabs, sambal belacan and cencaluk. These seafood dishes are unclean food! It taste nice but it does bad things to our health. Hmm…looks like we need to do colon cleansing whenever possible.

My soon to be 1yo (in 2 days time!) is down with flu. And with my low immune system, I caught the bug from him. Eh! I didn’t catch the bug lar. The bug hopped over to me. :P Now both of us are producing lots of gooey and I am coughing too. At times, both my nose will be blocked and when I drink water, it feels like I will be choke to death; cannot breath eh. I wonder if I inhale a stick of Black and Mild, it will clear my nose passage or not? :P Ok! Ok! Me no smoker.

The Cheapest Way to Get Rid of Blackheads

The cheapest way to get rid of blackheads is by using egg white. One egg cost only 30 cents. One egg can be used on 3 faces. So, one blackheads treatment only cost 10 cents ++ per face. The ++ is for the cost facial cotton. You only need a few pieces. One piece is to be divided into half so that it will be thinner and faster to dry up.

All you got to do is dip the facial cotton into the egg white then paste on your face. Wait till it dries up then peel. You will see that many blackheads will be pulled along and you will have smooth, clean face. Oh ya! Extra protein for your face too. ;)

Hubby and I used to do this when we are have free time. Hmmm…like a year ago before No.4 came into our life. lol.

Bloated Tummy Due to Cocoa

When he drinks Milo, his tummy will be bloated. When he eats chocolate ice cream, his tummy will be bloated. When he eats chocolate, his tummy will be bloated. We figured that cocoa coz his tummy to be bloated. As I know, cocoa is one of the heaty food and if you have severe acne, you have to stay away from taking any cocoa. Now I know that cocoa causes wind too.

Fruit Fasting

Due to his stomach discomfort, hubby has been on fruit fasting for 2 days already. He only eats fruit and drink plain water for breakfast and lunch. If he continues this for a month, I think he won’t be needing the alli diet pill to slim down! Hahaha. And I can rest from cooking for a month too since I cook mainly for him everyday coz my children eats at their grandma’s most of the time. ;)

Weak Stomach

Hubby is down again. He had stomach discomfort for a few days already. 2 nights ago, he came home and vomited his dinner. We ate the same food but his stomach seems to be extra sensitive. It has always been that way. I wonder whether his stomach is too healthy to take outside food or too weak. If he continues being this way, I will need adult acne. Why? Dunno what food to cook for him every day. lol.

On Time Healing

I really thank God that he healed me just on time to celebrate Chinese New Year. Today, I gladly announce that I am completely healed. No more headache and no more sore-throat. I also got back my appetite last night. I ate a packet of Nasi Lemak topped with one hard-boiled egg and a piece of fried chicken. I will surely need the weight loss pills if my appetite continues to be this big. Furthermore, tonight we will start feasting till the 2nd night of Chinese New Year. We will start of with the reunion dinner, then steamboat or satay celup on the first night and BBQ on the 2nd night of Chinese New Year. Come join me! :D
