Yum Cha

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

 

This happened right away on the first morning that we had in Hong Kong. “Yum Cha” means “drink tea”, but in another meaning “breakfast in the Chinese Style” (my own translation). Just like some of you drool over the dim sum that we ordered. (Yes, finally I can load photos from my digital camera)

Well, I didn’t take most of the photos right away before eating, that’s why some are not in the original number, The siew mai suppose to be 3 in a bowl. Anywa, enough of drooling, let’s talk something else here. Check out this Thermal labels if you need to print label on to stickers. They are offering low prices everyday.

My figure

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I’m still not sure, am I loosing weight again? Over the weekend when I attended a wedding banquet and in church, people been telling or rather asking me “Hey, you seems to have lost some weight.”

Am I? I really don’t know, my clothes still fit, I still look the same to me in the mirror and I haven’t been weighting myself, sorry, I don’t have the machine at home.  Some of them maybe wondering if I’m on a diet in loosing weight. NO! Of course not! Fortunately they didn’t ask if I’m on weight loss pills. I know some people do go for that for health reason. Just recently our Health Ministry just showed their fear that over 50% of our fellow Malaysian could be overweight!

Obesity really can caused health problem such as diabetes. I am not saying that slim people won’t have that problem but research found out that the percentage is higher for overweight people. But if you really need to go for medication in loosing weight, please choose a reliable one that doesn’t cause any problem for your liver and kidney.

Getaway

This is part two of our getaway for last year to Hong Kong.

We chose to stay in Hollywood Hotel simply because it is cheaper, even though I said cheaper, it was HKD3K per night inclusive of 2 days tickets for Hong Kong Disneyland. It is the 2nd stop for bus ride from Disneyland’s station.  The hotel has light blue colour scheme with Mickey Mouse trademark (triple circles) everywhere. It has a shop just next to the main entrance to the hotel lobby with very nice decoration.

Hubby has chosen the room which has nice view of fireworks at night, which they had it for both nights when we were there - 30th and 31st December. Hubby enjoyed the 2nd night’s firework from the hotel room actually.

Hollywood Hotel roomNice green inside the room and we got the boys glue to the TV most of the time with Disney Channel. Cal was having fun wearing the kid’s bathrobe.

Hotel room decoMer was having fun in front of the camera with his silly posing. We’ve booked the room for 2 adults, 1 child and 1 baby, that’s why there is a babycot there. There even provide a baby bathtub, I mean those plastic one la..

Shop at the lobbySee the nice deco in the shop? Yup, so full of Christmas spirit. I only allowed myself to get a set of ear-rings from there, don’t know where to use the rest of the things in the shop and further more they are not cheap :D

Hotel decoAnother cute deco along the pathway of the hotel. The boys absolutely love this bronze Mickey Mouse.

Enough photos for this time. I’ve scrap some photos for the stay in Hollywood Hotel - Sunny Day

Detoxification

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

I know there is this product from direct sales that claim to be able to detoxify our body, some are by cleansing it using condense yogurt product. To tell you the truth, I’ve tried that before and it works for me but having to go to the toilet several times a day isn’t a fun thing to do. I’ve also tried those that use tablets that contain high fibre to help with my bowel movement, it works too and I tell you, for the first few days I’ve been farting, real smelly ones. Luckily I wasn’t being assigned to do my work outside of my office, I mean I’m constrained in my own office, so I were the only person who knew about the smelly gas.
There is another one that I found online that offer colon cleanse. I’ve been hearing testimonies from people who had been using detoxifying products before, they claim that they have better bowel movement after that and also a better skin tone.
However, these things doesn’t really works for my sister who had been having this problem for ages, and most probably she is immune to all these products, or her stomach is plain stubborn. I just hope that she have a happy big business every morning.
