Rice Is Good For Health

Rice is the important food for Asians, especially for Chinese, just can’t live without it. Most people may take rice lesser as they grow older because they think that eating too much rice may cause obesity and diabetes disease. Well, I just feel that we should take any food moderately to keep us healthy.

I won’t skip rice. I somehow prefer Japanese rice which becomes sticky when cooked. Rice is a good source of insoluble fibre, which can be found in whole wheat, bran and nuts. Insoluble fibre reduces the risk of bowel disorders and fights constipation. It is rich in carbohydrates, low in fat, contains some protein and plenty of vitamin B.

An average portion of rice (50g) provides around 11% of the estimated average daily requirement of protein. One portion has only 245kcal. Those who want to reduce their fat and cholesterol intakes can turn to rice as it contains only a trace of fat and no cholesterol. It is also gluten free and easily digested. My little boy likes rice. He can finish up a plain bowl of rice within seconds. Haha….my ‘fan tong‘ boy!

Home Theater Seating

I hate the idea of hubby running out most of the time and hardly sticks his butt at home. Doesn’t he feel tired being always not at home? I shouldn’t grumble too much as he works tough for our family. Hopefully things change for better after we move to our new house. Hmmm….I should find out some way to make him stay with the kids and me more. Hahar….get a home theater seating next time, and I guess that will works. He is a potato couch when in front of a television!

Grohe Faucets

It is time for me to explore for high quality furniture and facilities for my new coming home. I was told about Grohe faucets which ranges with varieties designs for bathrooms and kitchens. Most of the faucets are designed with the European style. I searched through online in the website to find out more about the company. The products do impressed me. Just want to decide my budget well, so that I may not overspent on that.

Blackheads Do Trouble Hubby

Hubby doesn’t go for a regular facial treatment like me every month. That’s why I can see oily acnes and big protruding blackheads on his face. He does care about his appearance, when only he is free to look into the mirror. And, when he does, he will straight away ask his beautician sister for help. I will then see a red balm face later that day. My sister-in-law is very desperate whenever she cleaning up a dirty face. Get what I mean? LOL

Trimspa For Women Who Pursue Beauty

Many says that I eat healthily as I always aim for organic products. Well, this is all because my concern on my two kids. Their skin problem refrains them from taking outside hawker food often.

Anyway, if I happen to have obesity troubles, I would definitely go after Trimspa to slim down own feature. Even I know that taking diet pills is no natural than doing exercises, I just can’t tolerate myself to look unpleasant. I am certainly a vain conscious woman. I believe most of the women are daring when pursuing beauty.

Homemade Egg Sandwich

Seems easy, but not when doing it. It is a bit tiring when crunching the eggs. Well, I was the one who came out the idea of making egg sandwiches for my girl’s tea in Yamaha. It was the last music lesson for Zi Wei last night. She has completed her Junior Music Course.

There are only around 10 in the class, including the parents. So, I just prepared twenty sets of sandwiches. I used up 6 eggs for the servings.

1) My girl was complaining as cruncing work is really tiring!

2) Then, mixed the scrambled eggs with some organic mayonnaise which is purely made of soy beans. Add some salt too.

3) Adding a piece of lettuce makes the sandwich extra special.

Easy right? I will try using some shapes cutter on the sandwiches next time. It is a way to make more fun to the kids. Their appetite may grow when they see the lovely sandwiches.

Temporary No Starbucks Coffee

When counting my raised up fingers, it has been almost two months since the last visit for Starbucks coffee. I dare not go for it even though I desperately love to. I can’t spend extravagantly as I have to save up more for my kids’ skin remedy expenses. It is a tough time for the family. Yes, not even an expensive cup of coffee! Sounds a bit too serious here huh….Well, I still go for white coffee in the coffee shop. It is no big deal here. ^.^

Online Auto Insurance Sounds So Easy

It is going to be due time for hubby to renew his car insurance soon. He has somehow lost the contact of the previous insurance agent. He is kind of lazy to step in the tall building for renewing process.

By looking at his helpless face, I quickly apply for some online auto insurance quotes for his reference. I will do all the application work for him online since it is simple and convenient. All he needs to do is to decide which quote of his preference, and of course pay for it. What to do? That’s my lazy hubby.
