Tried this? Strepsils Warm.

I was expecting a stronger warming sensation,  but this turned out to be quite mild.  A hint of ginger..
 
Not very effective for my sore throat though.  I prefer the stronger one.


It did soothe my sore throat a little, albeit slower. RM3.60 each.

Is This Cute, or What?


Random, but I think this is cute!
Miniature stationaries in a tiny jar. Its a gift, with a few office essentials.



These are not that great to use compared to their normal sized counterparts, but they are good enough when I need things done. They now earn a spot on my desk.. :)

I know it does to me!

Sigh, it is a great Sunday..
- I get to sleep in; I mean really till 2.30pm :P
- It was raining most of the day
- Loads of TV dramas to watch
- No chores waiting for me (well laundry can wait)
- There is the iPad and magazines and books

I actually started the day with a cup of oatmeal.. and it felt okay.
But I got hungry like 5 seconds after that, and conveniently grabbed a packet of chips.
Wrong move! Halfway thru I started feeling like crap.

Downed some water, and then 2 oranges - The Husband teased me about compensating bad food with good ones after. Duh! But I realised he is right - I have this really bad habit of taking junk food when I'm home and not cooking. I gave in to hunger pangs in 3 seconds and will grab anything within my reach.

So then I ordered pizza and made myself a cup of coffee...
The coffee was a mistake too. I should know myself better, that I couldn't really tolerate coffee. They upset my tummy and more often than not, makes me wuzzy.

But on cold rainy days, the thought of hot coffee is really tempting. Especially on a weekend. Anytime before 6pm is fine, as I don't want to risk being awake. I haven't really experienced being kept awake by coffee before, but do not like risking. On work days, getting a good night's sleep is vital. Or I'd be a crappy boss at work..


Look at it! So creamy and naiseeeee!
With these...


Anyway, I think this many times of feeling crappy after food is enough. I ought to really just eat healthily.. at least most of the time..

I doubt I would ever give up pizza or the occassional coffee (I'm not a coffee person by the way - I think its just a mental temptation). But probably once a month wouldn't kill.

Back to more fruit juices and veggies..

Finally, You're Here!

Yes, you! The weekend I've been dying to welcome...

Big sigh after being sick for days, I'm finally better. At least don't feel like a corpse anymore - thanks to 3 packets of Chinese herbs.


What could be better to welcome the weekend other than a good cup of warm green tea and some green tea Kit Kats? ;) Sinful but absolutely yummy. The matcha powder is quite thick, half a teaspoon could last me 2-3 cups.

To top it off, read some mags!





They now have Vivi translated into English! Yay :D

This issue focuses on massage for a slimmer face - sans bloating.

More food mags to lure me into using my kitchen!

Happy Weekend~!

Mr DIY Pruning Shear

That is what I do every couple of weeks - harvesting my garden.

My old pruning scissors is about 10 years old; not so sharp anymore - time to retire..
I recently got a new pair from my trip to Mr DIY.


Gotta love the price. At RM5.50 it does a fantastic job at snipping stalks.
Very clean cut, with sturdy grip.
Does not squeak and comes with safety lock.

Great buy!

Getting a new home can be a really exciting journey. The joy, the hopes, the contentment. And desire for perfection, for ultimate happiness. I think this happens to most people.

It could however, be an energy draining one. Especially for first timers.
For the inexperienced.

Just a simple post to rant.. as I am exhausted with waiting for the renovation to be over!
Planning to properly blog the experience, but would probably be after I am done moving.

So much to do.. so little energy.
Ohmm!
