Orange Squeezer

I bought this orange squeezer at the morning market for RM10.00. The squeezer can be used to squeeze orange, lemon and lime for juices. I find the squeezer is very easy to use and can easily squeeze out juices and easy to wash too. Here are tips to have flat tummy, lose weight, relieve sorethroat and reduce cholesterol (given by the salesman who sells this product).

Reduce cholesterol and lose weight (have flat tummy)

- squeeze 1 lemon for the juice

- add 1 tablespoon of honey

- add the above into 1 glass of water

- add ice cube

- drink for 2 weeks after dinner

Relieve sorethroat
- squeeze 5 lime (gatt chai) for the juice
- add a dash of salt
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- add the above into 1 glass of water
- drink twice a day

I tried the lemon juice with the honey for 2 days and noticed some encouraging results. Fats around my waist line reduced a little bit and tummy also a little flatten. The lemon juice is a little bit hard to drink because it tastes really very sour.

Soup of the Day

Broccoli, Carrot, Taufu, Fishball and Lean Meat Soup

Cass and Aly are very fussy when comes to food. A lot of food they don't eat especially vegetables. Each of them have different likings on certain food. So it is very difficult for me to cook. They can just eat rice with soup without eating any of the stuff in the soup. The only stuff in the soup that they eat is fishball. The soup that they like are ABC soup (potato, carrot, onion, tomato), Chinese Cabbage/Carrot soup with Fishball and Lotus Root with Ground Nut soup. Good nutrition is essential for good health and growth for children. As they lack nutrition food, therefore I don't mind to cook soup almost everday for them as replacement of nutrition food to their body. Soup is also a nutritious meal. I also give them other supplements such as Chewette C vitamin, Scott's Emulsion cod liver oil and Extra Excel Noco and ACT. Since they don't like vegetables, I give them apples as supplement also. An apple a day, keep the doctor away. I think it is easier to cook for adults than children especially when the children are picky eater. Don't you think so?

Matta Fair '08

The Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival '08 has just begun. It will end on 1 September 2008. Then comes the Matta Fair '08 which is to be held from 5-7 September 2008 at Putra World Trade Centre, KL from 10.00 am to 9.00 pm. You can log to http://www.matta.org.my/ for more information. Saw the advertisement in the newspaper, "The Star" dated 3 July 2008 mentioned that Matta Fair '08 is back! It indicated that it is more than just a travel fair, more exhibitors, more low fares, more travel bargains. Wah everything is more more more ..... but do we still have more more more money to spend once the mega sale carnival is over. Phew ... wish we have more more more money.

Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 08

Today both our daily newspapers, "The Star" and "New Straits Times" have a special edition called StarSpecial and A New Straits Times Special respectively. Both special editions highlighted the Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 08 which is back this time from today, 5 July till 1 September 2008. StarSpecial quoted on their front page as 'The Bargains Are Back!' while A New Straits Times Special quoted Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 08 - It's Back! There are a lot of prizes to be won during the carnival ranging from cash, free AirAsia air tickets (Gold Coast) to car. For more information on the carnival, go to http://www.malaysiamegasale.com.my/. With the increase of fuel price which have resulted prices of other goods to go up also. I wonder weather this round mega sale carnival will have a good response since most people are now very prudent when come to spending. I think despite the increase, shoppers will still shop during the carnival as it will be an ideal time to enjoy the discounted prices instead of spending more during the non-sale period. Credit cards are expected to be used widely (Buy, buy, buy, sign, sign, sign, but when statement comes die die die lah). As for me, it has been a long long time I have not done any shopping at shopping malls. Being a homemaker now, I do most of mine household marketing (shall I call it shopping also) at the morning market and shophouses near home.
