More Mangoes after a windy day

Guess who was counting the mangoes?  It's Crystal

We could stock up more mangoes in our fridge each time after a windy rainy day.  The wind tends to bring down more mangoes to the ground, hence, 20 over mangoes for us in a single day.  I make some into juice as requested by Clet using a blender instead of the juicer, giving us a very thick yogurt mangoes juice, with some yogurt.  Crytal & Pearl do not like it at all. 

I made mine a little special by adding more yogurt, a sprinkle of bee pollen granule and some flax seed oil for addition nutrition. 

Clet's Birthday

13th July was Clet's birthday.  I always attempt to bake a cake for him on his birthday.  This year to avoid further failure in my baking, I bought a ready packed strawberry cake mix, only need to add in oil, eggs and water.  I baked the cake on Sunday, one day ahead, knowing that I wouldn't be able to do so on a working Monday.  Crystal and Pearl are always more than helpful to do the mixing and eagerly waited to decorate the cake after it is baked too. After writing the wordings on the cake, I let Crystal decorate the cake while Pearl looked on.  Look at the cake, I am a terrible baker.  :(

Finally ready to sing the birthday song

On his birthday itself, we had a buffet dinner at Promenade Hotel.  Surprisingly, we filled up our stomach fairly quickly with the main course, we hardly touched the dessert counters though the little pieces of cakes were very tempting.  Crystal and Pearl love the ice cream with pieces of cheese while I opted for Jellies and  ice cream.

Hit by Food Poisoning

I had a very bad food poisoning experience on Tuesday night till 3am on wednesday morning. A similar experience that I had during my previous two morning sickness. It was so bad that I was too weak to get out of bed after 3 times forceful vomitting and 2 times diahhrea early in the morning while everyone was soundly asleep. Concidently it was Clet's auction session in the morning that he couldn't bring me to the clinic. I lied on the bed for the whole morning only went to the clinic about 2 pm and waited for the doctor to come in at 3pm, luckily I was the first one in line.

Too scare to vomit again I only took some sago soup (believe to be able to stop the diahhrea) and little bit of porridge that Clet bought for me before going to the clinic, it was my favourtie fish porridge but yesterday I felt like vomitting with its smell.

Everyone said it was the cause of the detox programme that I took the week before. Well could be partly. I was to be blamed as well cos after the 7 strict diet detox days, I was back to my old self again that used to whacked the nice food in front of me like no tomorrow. It started with a buffet dinner for Clet's birthday on Monday and followed by another dinner treat by SIL on Tuesday that my cleansed colon could not take it anymore.

I am back to work today with slight headache and still with vomiting feeling. Have had half bowl of hot meehoon soup in the morning and one apple for lunch. Called my mum to boil soup tonite cos I am still not well to cook dinner for my family.

Preparation - Detoxification and Rejuvenation Programme (DRP)

I guess some of you might be wondering what the DRP I am talking about, I should have posted this before I even started with my DRP 6 days ago.  But all is not too late, right?

After the live blood test, the result got me worried about my overall health. I told myself that by hook or by crook I have to start the DRP programme as soon as I got the free package of the DRP set which was given free to me as staff on an annual basis by the company that I work.  Together with my two other colleagues, I started with the programme 6 days ago, mentally ready of course.  Besides having the DRP set in place, there are certain vegetable and fruits that I have to get ready before starting the programme.  Basically the whole programme put us on a very strict diet, only fruits, vegetable and supplements are allowed.

The Hippocrates soup

These are some of the fruits and vegetable recommended in the programme.  The carrot and apple are for juices.  Celery, onions and potatoes together with tomatoes, leeks, garlic to be cooked into Hippocrates' soup as meals throughout the 7 days.  I got bored of the soup on the 3rd day that I replaced my meals with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes and fruits instead.

I made 6 containers of yogurt as part of the meals to be taken together with flaxseed oil

I have been coping well with the strict diet with no much temptations to break the fast, it would be a challenge if I am a meat eater, glad that I am not.

The boiled and let cool to body temperature coffee enema mixture  

I was a bit worried on carrying out the coffee enema at the beginning, luckily I managed it quite well from the 3rd day onwards where I found a comfortable place to do it, that is, the bedroom, even with Pearl coming around again and again to check on me, and asked "mummy, you do the "emema" again?".

There is still one more day to go to complete the programme.  I have been asked what I feel like having for my first meal right after this programme, my answer was, Laksa flavour Maggi Mee, hahaha...just kidding.  I would go for porridge so that my stomach will not be shocked after 7 days without solid food.

Detoxification and Rejuvenation Programme (DRP)

I am into Day 5 of the 7 days Detoxification and Rejuvenation Programme (DRP), I am amazed how this programme works, I already felt the cleansing taking effect on the 4th day, I guess the cleansing effect could have been faster if I were to do 2 coffee enemas a day as recommended. I have been on 1 coffee enema a day due to time constraint.

This programme is easier to follow than I first thought especially on the coffee enema part which I did not feel at ease with initially. I finally got myself comfortable doing it in the bedroom than in the bathroom before taking my shower and dinner. I did the coffee enemas in the bathroom for the first 3 days in the morning which I find very uncomfortable lying on the bathroom floor for one thing and also the need for the morning rush has deterred me from carrying out a proper coffee enema which usually takes up to 15 minutes at least.

I am a bit tired today could be because I have had very little solid today than the previous 4 days. Got bored with the hippocrates' soup since the 3rd day and the urge of eating solid is not there anymore, moreover, my stomach is filled with cleansing drink, tissue building drink, health drink and juices most of the time.

There will be 2 more days to go to complete the whole programme and I am happy with my progress so far.

I will post more about it in my coming posts.

Live Blood Test Result

I had a live blood test 3 weeks ago. The result....can be better. If I hadn't been taking any supplement all these while it could be even worst.

Live Blood testing is some what different from the normal lab blood test. It tests the quality rather than quantity of our blood.

This test report of my showed that cholesterol crystal are found, my blood viscosity is high (the obvious symptom is the numbness or tingling of feet or hands), calcium Deficiency Observed and mild Free Radical Damage was also observed. Eventhough there is nothing serious to worry about but it is also advisable to better my health position before situation get worst due to poor diet, lack of sleep, stress, and other factors.

A few supplements were recommended to me together with the report.

Newlife office in Tanjung Aru Plaza is offering Live Blood Test on every Wednesday, RM55.00 for members and RM75.00 for Non Members. It is the only place that offers Live Blood Test in KK so far.

For betterment of my health, I am taking the 7 days DRP (Detoxification and Rejuvenation Progrmme) at the moment, hopefully it will show a better health result after the DRP.

Versatile Juicer & Food Processor

I always wanted to own a unit of Alpha DA-900 juicer & food processor for my kitchen. I finally bought it this month, thanks to the company that I work for offers easy payment scheme for staff.

It comes with a VCD which I showed it the night I got the juicer. After watching the VCD, my daughters begging me to buy it, I did not tell them that it is already in the kitchen. They were thrilled when they saw the machine can actually make noodles, slicing potatos, and make juices, to them it would be a good toy to play.

This Korean made juicer is more than an ordinary juicer that I used to have. It is more than 9 machine in 1!

1. Fruit & Vegetable Juice Extractor;
2. Wheatgrass/Leafy Green Juice Extractor;
3. Soya Bean, Almond & other Nut Milk Extractor;
4. Mincer;
5. Grinder;
6. Pasta Maker;
7. Food Mill;
8. Grain Mill; and
9. Ice shaver/Vetable Slicer.

It is also the first juice extractor equipped with a "Mill-type Bio Auger" gear, which functions exactly like a stonemill. It preserves the oringinal flavour, nutrients and living enzymes found in fruits and vegetables. It is just what we need for my DRP "Detox & Rejuvenation Programme" that I will be taking tomorrow for 7 days.

There is no sharp blade in this juicer so I let my daughters took charge of the juicing which they enjoyed very much. They are also eager to try the juices that they extracted, easier to get them to drink juices now.

Birthday dinner at Korean restaurant

We had a wonderful dinner for SIL's birthday at a Korean Restaurant, Hi Seoul, at Likas Square. All the dishes that we ordered were so delicious and the prices are reasonable too.

We preferred Japanese cuisine over Korean food all this while mainly because we thought the Korean cuisine is about chillie, everything is hot that our girls would not be able to eat anything, it has since changed my perception after this meal. I will be a return customer for sure as I would suggest to have Clet's birthday dinner there as well next month. Hop over here to see what we had for the night, making me hungry again just by looking a the pictures.

Enjoying the dinner

Making Money on line with Adsense

Is it possible to make extra money through Adsense? I was very skeptical about the stories of people claiming that they are making monies through Adsense all this while not until recently one of my facebook friend, Alan Tan, showing his income that he received from Adsense for two consecutively months. It has indeed opened my eyes right away and convinced that it is true that there are monies to be made there if you put efforts into developing your blogs or websites by placing Adsense.

The fastest way in realising the income generated from Adsense is to withdraw from Western Union counter where you can withdraw cash instantly. There are Western Union counters in many local banks and private operated outlets can also be found in major cities and towns throughout the country.

Payment from Adsense in a form of cheque will take up to 3 months to clear in our local banks simply because it was issued from a US bank in US currency.

Father's Day celebration

This year's Father's Day was celebrated at the pool side club house.  SIL organised a pot luck get together from noon time.  We went there earlier than many of them.  Our girls kept nagging to go for a swim in the pool, so off they went for a dip without realising it was around 1.00pm, the sun was at its hottest.  It was a very bad idea to be in the pool at this hour, so I quickly get them out of the pool before they got sunburn (which they did).

 after much nagging, they went for a dip in the pool even before anyone was here

I prepared some egg and cheese sandwiches for the pot luck.  Like usual, SILs and BILs brought in food excessively, however no one remembered to bring drinking water or beverages.  Luckily Clet was wise enough to bring a bottle of water to ease our thirst before BIL brought some water in.

Food on the table

After lunch, the children just couldn't wait to go to the pool anymore even the weather was still very warm.  They started the dip in the pool from 2.30pm.  The children were in the small pool while the adults (uncles and nephews) were playing water ball games in the bigger pool.

after more than 2 hours in the pool, the children were really hungry, whacked roti canai till clean.  Crystal & Pearl were so tired that they felt asleep in the car on the way home.

Happy Father's Day to all Fathers

Crystal and Pearl brought back their own Father's Day cards for their daddy from school on Friday.  They coloured the cards by themselves.  To celebrate this Father's Day, SIL has organised a pot-luck get together at the pool side starting from 11.00am.  We will be bringing sandwiches to the party.  Our girls are very excited and can not wait to go to have a swim at the pool, they have got their swimsuits and clothings all ready for swim.

WISHING ALL FATHERS A VERY HAPPY AND MEANINGFUL FATHER'S DAY!!

Transplanting vegetable seedlings

Finally Clet helped me to transplant the cucumber and tomatoes seedlings to the backyard last sunday. Clet prefers to plant the vegetable on the ground than in the pots to allow the plants to have more rooms to grow hopefully with better harvest.

Our backyard is in such a mess that I only go out there to pick up mangoes. With a little help from Crystal, Clet managed to clear up the place a bit and transplanted the cucumber and tomato seedlings along side the fence.
