Totally Scent Free!

I saw this being sold in Grocer at Starling Mall. I took a whiff and it doesn't have any fragrance. Unfortunately, the price is quite steep: RM15.90 for 500ml.

If you're desperate for something to wash your dishes (or bathrooms) that doesn't smell, you might want to try this.

Brushes for the TMX

Many people complain that it is not easy to wash the blades in the TMX jug. Here are the brushes that I use to wash the blades. The two pink brushes on the left are from the DAISO outlet. The blue one was from my old soya maker. The two brushes on the right are for bottle brushes. These brushes will help to get the blades cleaned!

Happy Dawg Year

Who Let the Dawgs Out?
"It's the Year of the Dog!" the gods shout.
"Here bark, there bark,
Everywhere bark, bark!" you snark.

"Well, life isn't about the doggy in the window,
The one with the waggly tail," you continue to bellow,
The heavens were silent,
And then the gods thundered like a mighty trident.

"The dogs are loyal,
The dogs are faithful.
Unlike the humans who can be ever so anal,
And extremely ungrateful!"

"The dogs are intelligent and protective,
And ever so playful.
With their noses they are the world's greatest detective.
With them the years would be joyful."

"The Year of the Dog,
Will ward off the fog.
Tough as there will be much challenges,
But there will be much more advantages,"

"This year of the Dog,
Will bring you much fortune,
No longer will your life be waterlogged,
Bad luck will be shortened."

The gods continued to thunder,
In all their might and splendour.
In a mighty unison roar,
They said to all:
"In this year of the Dog,
Go out and conquer the War!"

Wishing you a very 'paws-perous' Chinese New Year!

Another Thermomix!

Back in November last year, I bought another Thermomix as I needed to save time by cooking two dishes at a time.

I bought it from the same agent I bought from two years back. Her name is Jasmin Choy. The reason I bought my Thermomix machines from her is that she has a support group on Facebook. If you have any problems or questions regarding recipes or how to use the machine, it's all in that support group. There are tons of recipes and TIPS shared in her support group. Even though I am not an active Facebook user, I know that there's a place I can go to if I ever have any issues or questions. The after sales service is really good.

If you are keen in buying a Thermomix, I would suggest that you contact Jasmin Choy and request for a demo.

Here is her email: solobis1@gmail.com

Alternatively, you can look for her on Facebook.

Here is her profile:

p.s. I am not getting paid for writing this. I am sharing this so that others who are like me who have to cook every single day can do so without the hassle of cleaning up the whole kitchen.

Kloraxin

About 4 to 5 months back, I had an infection in the lower eyelid. I went to see a GP and was prescribed Kloraxin gel together with Fucithalmic eye drops.

I was given some very good advice by a doctor I saw about 12 years back. He said when trying new medicine, use one at a time so that if there's any allergy reaction, one would know which is the trigger. Imagine you're given 4 different concoctions and you took all 4 together and then had a reaction. Which is the trigger? You will have no idea.

So I tried Fucithalmic eye drops first. Everything went well.

Then I used the Kloraxin late in the evening. I jumped up from my sleep in the middle of the night with my scalp itching and it felt like it was on fire. And I felt that I was heading towards an anaphylaxis episode.

I got out of bed and washed my eyes. I stayed awake and didn't go back to sleep.

I got a shock the next morning as I looked as though someone had punched me in the eye. Hubby and son said I looked as though I had cried nonstop for hours.

I swallowed a Piriton, called my eye specialist and headed to the clinic immediately.

He told me that normal people with no allergies react to Kloraxin. What more with people like me! He does not even keep Kloraxin in his clinic. He does not prescribe Kloraxin at all!

He gave me another type of antibiotics eye drops which I had used before. That worked very well. The name of the drops is Cravit.

Thank god that the episode did not snowball into an anaphylactic episode!

Sugar in Hospitals!

Many patients who face malnutrition are fed with protein shakes to help boost their daily calories. The problem with the shakes are that they are loaded with sugar, sugar and MORE sugar.
