Elken Spirulina

Friend asked me what I am taking for energy (especially to chase after a going-to-two toddler). I have tried many vitamins and currently am taking this Elken Spirulina. Let me give you a history of what I have been taking.

I find it quite tiring usually after my period....it feels like my body is attracted to the bed like a magnet. So I have been trying a few types of supplement. I tried pharmacy brands one (muti-vitamin, COQ10,vitamin C) and found not much difference. Tried another brand supplement from Japan, it was good but it made my body heaty until nose bleeding. I have heard of spirulina before and did buy from a pharmacy brand. It did not help much but it did help go to the toilet much easier. I have also tried pak chan as well (dont dare try bak fong pill as heard that it is more heaty than pak chan and i really do hate those small, tenny wenny pills) but it made me heaty as well and caused me ulcers in the mouth.

Then aunty introduced this and I got to say that it seemed to work. I have been trying for one month....we just have to see for a few months. This big bottle has 3k pills (yeahhhhhh! you saw that right!!!...so many pills!)...and at 10 pills per day, it will last me a year. It is all made in Malaysia - so no concerns there.

As for size of pills, i have compared it with a Panadol Actifast (the white one) and also a Poh Chai Yin.

If you are interested to purchase, drop me a line. I am not a dealer but can order from aunty. For Poslaju anywhere in Peninsular Malaysia, it is about RM7.50 for less than 2kg.

It Fits!!!!

Phew my blue dress fits after all....but I have to be careful of the zip. What do you think? Now it is just what shoes and what handbag? Help!

A1 Curry Paste

Ever since I finish my curry paste which I painstakingly did....I never get around to doing it again. To go through the dried chillies one by one and take out the seeds, etc...is really painful. Instead brother recommend this one. Would it work? I shall find out tomorrow. Have invited sister and family over for curry chicken with nasi lemak as it is public holiday in Selangor....Will blog more tomorrow.

How Should I Match????

Sigh....have a beautiful sky blue dress...tried it on but cannot fit already. Post pregnancy body. sigh! So have to resort to this black dress which I luckily have it or go shopping this week end...(salivating!!!...)....can you pelase tell me which shoes and which bag to match with the black dress if I dont find anything this weekend? Ok for church wedding to wear black?

Outing to Mid Valley

Nowadays Ben is more into watching Barney on tv....and it must be the same one over and over again - Barney More Songs! Aiyoh! He will ask me to switch on the VCD for him by pointing towards the player. I have created a tv-watching monster. Once upon a time, I was like....why cant he watch tv like the other kids??! Now it is ... Oh no, not another time.

So instead of being at home, I took him out. Wanted to go to Lake Garden but it was getting late (and really hot!). So instead, dropped by Megakidz at Mid Valley. Cost me RM9.55 (Dont ask me how come got the sen-sen one!)

But I guess compare with the gardens, it will be better outdoor. But it is just too hot. Hmmmmm.....Mummy will have to make an effort to do things up earlier so that can take him to the nearby gardens. Downstairs, we have a swimming pool and steps. I dont really like to take him there because the pool and stairs are like a magnet to him - he will go for the steps (dangerous! as i remembered there was an article where a 9 year old boy fell down from stairs and died!) and play with water. Can let him play with water but he has been having running nose one after another. Maybe when the weather is warmer, I will bring him to the swimming pool instead. Sigh.....in cooler countries, it will be just nice to take a walk to the nearby parks.

Ok, more stories next week then.

Pressie from Michelle

Michelle recently went on a shopping spree and is so thoughtful to remember about Ben. Here is one set of clothes...managed to get him to pose. It is quite special - with the pict on the front and the back! The other set I am saving for special occasion. Thanks a lot, Aunty Michelle - with love from Ben.

Durians.....

I guess this post does not need words at all... :)

Haha......

This is one of those few times...he is actually laughing and smiling while playing with his toys.....lately he has been quite moody and grumpy. I check his teeth and it is coming out a lot! 4 more on the top and another 4 on the bottom. Maybe that is why. Poor thing. Mummy got to be more patient with him. Keeps asking me to pick him up and carry. Another thing is his poo-poo. I guess when he starts to teething, he tends to poo-poo more (partly because he keeps putting his whole hand into his mouth - like the Fisherman advert my mum said) - 3 times a day! Phew.....talk about washing his backside!

I have bought for him many types of teething toys but he still prefers his own hands or the rails of the balcony (got to get a shot of that one day.)!.

A Typical Day with Ben

Morning starts ..... he is showing his cheeky face.....

................dancing and eating..............

...playing around....with his toys and our stuff.....

...having a snack before bedtime with Daddy............

...finally, phew, it is off to bed.

Taman Perdana Outing

Got some time during the weekend. Instead of hanging out at the shopping complex, took him to the nearby padang which is the Taman Perdana. As you can see my little boy here is very active. Running up and down. And I am sweating like a .... (what animal sweat?).....hehe.

Hope Daddy can get membership at Lake Club one of these days, then we can all mandi at the club before going home.

Eating Nyonya Kuih

Ben has taken after his father in eating nyonya kuih as you can see. He is getting so active nowadays and quite grumpy as well. I guess Terrible Twos is fast approaching. At the same time, I noticed that a few more teeth are coming out behind there which I guess also contribute to his moodiness.

Running

Look at my little boy go!!!

Third Hair cut

This is actually already the 3rd haircut. Unfortunately the first two hair cut we forgot to bring the camera. As you can see from the picts, he was not very happy to get the hair cut. Haha! But I suspect could be because of the razor which later I found some minor cuts on his skin. I guess the barber had some difficulties when he is moving here and there. The next one I will try the one that Mum usually goes to as she said her hairdresser is quite patient with little ones.

However hair cut like the rest of the stuff, has gone up. Used to be RM7 for him...now it is RM8. Inflation!
