Supposedly to be a happy occasion, my sister and her family went to the bride's house to congratulate her before the wedding dinner. According to my sister, the kitchen was very wet and all of a split second, she just fell and she felt something not right immediately after that... she couldn't get up at all, the pain on her ankle was too excruciating!



Immediately my brother-in-law carried her to the car... and despite the pain, she called me... and I advised her to go to a private…

I was contemplating this morning whether to go to work or not... in fact, as early as 6am, I woke up to a confused mind, "Should I go to work or not?" I have not been sleeping well the previous night due to constant coughing and getting up to spit and drink warm water to ease the throat itchiness. Eventually I decided to go to work and it was already 9am then.... I know I would not be able to rest peacefully at home knowing there was going to be a meeting and my work had not completed yet. I…

After a dose of the cough mixture last night, I couldn't get up at 6am this morning despite the alarm beeping loudly... I switched it off and drowsily, I hit the pillow and was in dreamland again. When I finally opened my eyes, it was 8am!! Gosh, my office starts at 8am and I was still in bed!



Ok, never mind lar... drowsy ma, what to do..…

I was told that Manuka honey is good for cough and I remember someone blogged about Manuka recently.... so this morning before going to hospital, I went to the pharmacy to get a bottle of this much-heard-about honey.



Gosh, it was not cheap though.. in fact very expensive... one small bottle of 250gm cost RM64 and the 500gm one cost RM94 ($31usd)...and after some mental calculation,  the Big Honey came home...

One of the best things I learned that helped me dramatically through the years of raising my beautiful daughters and now helping with my amazing grandchildren is reiki (ray-key). In 1985 a friend of mine talked me into taking a Reiki I class. She convinced me that it would help the learning disabled students I worked with - so I took the class which was held at her home in Boulder, Colorado.

Well I can tell you that was a…

Saturday October 29 is World Stroke Day.

When I was single I was skinny with a very flat tummy. I got married, got pregnant for our first baby, the weight gain started. I was told that it was normal because there was a baby developing and growing inside my womb. And, I was eating for two persons. I gave birth; I lost most of the weight that I gained during pregnancy. I was happy about it. Unfortunately, I had the stretch marks. My tummy still looks big and saggy despite of doing different exercises. I need a …
