Sigh ... somehow I got irritated by some sales folks who likes to touch on your personal life in order to make you buy their products. Well, I just join a network marketing company, merely to consume their products as well as slowly build up my network for retirement as a side-income if possible, but somehow my uplines tend to be very aggressive and even mentioned things like you are doing it for your family sake and etc etc ...which they tried to make me feel guilty if I didn't join them for their meetings on my rest days. I have nothing against network marketing as I really likes their products (though not all are good in terms of price) but I tend to dislikes some money-minded sales talk. I prefer to try it out first and if its good, then I introduce to my friends oe relatives rather than like a street medicine peddlers who boasts on about their products. Now I know why most folks tend to run away from network marketers...LOL.

I remember there was a time back in my mid-twenties where a relative tried to sell me insurance. She  was so desperate in getting me to buy until even mentioned  I will be more filial piety by buying an insurance should anything happens to me. Aiyo..I was like ..come on..do you need to say such thing to sell ? I ended up buying a small portion from her but I bought an insurance from another lady few years later, who was more professional where she explained clearly to me on the pros and cons. I bought almost 7 times more than what I have bought from that relative! Now, I will only look for this lady whenever I wanted to invest.

Anyway, on the other hand, my colleagues got hook up to the set meals in Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studio, which costs only S$15 for the following and delicious meals.

Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studio, Singapore

Salad for appetiser

Another option is to choose a thick mushroom cream soup... yummy

Fish and Chips .. There's a lot of meat in the fish and the chips was nicely fried. 

I had a Hainanese Pork Chop and I can't finish everything!

Dessert - Haagen-Dazs ice-cream
With a free flow drink, soup or salad, main meal and dessert from Hard Rock, I guess for S$15 nett, it's worth it ! :)

In my last post, I mentioned about giving my kids some workouts. Somehow, that prompted me to share again the goodness of exercise. Hope I am not too long winded here, just some sharing on healthy living. :)

 I find that exercise is really important as it's really good for our body and mind. So far, two doctors commented the importance of exercise and one doc told me it's like a medication which we must take regularly. To me, I find that it helps to manage my blood pressure, cholesterol level, keep me fit, controls my weight, reduce my stress and most importantly, makes me feels good. I always feel like a zombie the next day , whenever I don't exercise the evening before. I can say I am addicted to the feel-good feeling of exercise. LOL ...  Do check with your doc if you have not been exercising for a while and go slow first.

Anyway, after a 2 hour badminton session yesterday evening, I opted for Aglio Olio at Pastamania for dinner.

Basil Chicken Aglio Olio without chilli 

Mushroom soup and Ice Lemon Tea
The Basil chicken was a bit too salty but it blended well with pasta which I chose Linguine. Added some cheese and it was really good but too bad, the portion seems small. I like the mushroom soup, it was thich enough. Altogether, this cost around S$15.

Let's sweat it out , folks !

My two kids were down with throat infection, cough and running nose over the weekend. The elder one got it first and then, it was passed to my little princess. Luckily,  the elder one got better after a day of meds and rest. When I brought him to the clinic, the gym-siao doctor again commented my kid is too skinny and seems not doing enough exercise. I do agreed with the doc as his routine was too packed where he got to school in the early afternoon and got back in the evening. And, since JB's weekend was Fri-Sat, I only had time for him on Sat but we needed to attend the evening church. Waking up early is not an option...that's the only day we can sleep later. Thus, I was thinking hard on how to make him run again. I used to bring him out for short runs during weekends last year on Sat and Sundays. Maybe I will run with him earlier before the church service and send him for some sports classes on Fridays.

By the way, we still managed to catch a good lunch on last Saturday. Back at Lavender since we needed to run some errands, we decided to have a light meal. And...strawberry short cake again for my girl... oh no ..she's addicted! LOL ..

But I must say the strawberry short cake is really good ...not very sweet and lots of strawberry slices!


I get myself a mushroom and egg fried rice as I was craving for it! 

My kid had a teriyaki chicken rice , which he shared with his sister

Fried vermicelli for my wifey 

And, my cuppa of Americano
 We didn't go anywhere after that so that my kids can have a good rest.
