When Cass alighted from the school van just now...
Me - So how's the result of the Chinese story-telling competition?
Cass (in a really cheery mood) - I did not get into the semi-finals. Only RX and C managed to get in.
Me - it's OK baby
Cass - but I am going to take part in the coming BM story-telling competition! I have already told Cikgu C that I want to take part!! *announcing with renewed hope and optimism*
Me - that's good! I love your attitude and spirit! You have a never-give-up spirit and I like it!
Cass - if I don't win this BM story-telling competition, how?
Me - that's perfectly ok. It's not about winning. It's about courage and persistence. Not everyone dares to go up the stage to talk you know.
Cass - if I don't win in this BM story-telling competition, then I will take part in the English story-telling competition. And what if I don't win the English one, how?
Me - that's OK. Then you start all over again with Chinese, English and BM story-telling competition next year when you are in Standard 2.
Cass - YES! And if I don't win, I will still take part again in Standard 3, 4, 5 up till Standard 6!
Me - even if you don't win, that's OK too.. Someday and somewhere you will win. Just never give up and keep trying.
I just gotta love this girl's eternal sunshine even during her darkest moments in her hospital ordeals!
When I was inevitably forced to quit the job that I love to be a SAHM 10 years ago, I felt really insecure financially. I had a good-paying job with good perks and a great boss, what more could I ask for? But Alycia and Sherilyn's babysitter wanted to retire for good and I didn't trust any other babysitter. So I bit the bullet and threw in my resignation letter.
Three years after I left the corporate world and with tens of thousands of bucks exhausted from my bank account to pay part of Cassandra's surgery bills (which accumulated to over RM50,000 after our 3-week stay at GMC Penang. This amount excludes all her monthly outpatient specialist consultations and drugs), I was itching to make some money to recoup my loss. I set up a blogshop to sell my pre-loved stuff. I later expanded to sell ladies clothing and kids clothing. Five and a half years on, my online store is still running and surviving. Business was good initially as there were not many blogshops around back then. A few years down the road, blogshops started to sprout out like virus in the world wide web. Every other day, I see new blogshops and online stores springing out in Facebook. Competition started to be stiff right until now. Business has now slowed down. Most of my customers now are my loyal customers who have been buying from me for years.
With the recent price hike, GST, savings for my 3 girls' tertiary education and to feed my love for shopping, I wanted to earn more. Then an opportunity came knocking on my door by my blogger friend of 10 years. I turned her down several times as I just wasn't interested in doing MLM business. Plus the products were so expensive! I had dabbled in MLM business several times in the past but with my reclusive and shy persona, no way I could soar in MLM business. One day, she gave me a box of Izumio and told me that she was pretty confident that it would help Cass in her incontinence issue. I was doubtful that the products would work, yet very hopeful. On day 2 of starting on Izumio, Cass reacted positively to it and within a week, I could see significant improvement in her incontinence issue. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it's true!
This month would be the 5th month that I am in this Naturally Plus business to help me generate passive income. The first 1-2 months, I was a tad laid-back but seeing how my friends could earn thousands of bucks every week (some of them every day!), I wanted to be like them too! Like who doesn't like money right? :D
Watch the below videos. They will introduce you to Naturally Plus and the remarkable business opportunity that you can be part of. From this video you can see that it is not that difficult to do this business and anyone can be part of this if you have the right mindset.
This is a summary of the business and roughly how it works…..
Step 1: Buy a package and become a member. Your initial capital is RM5330.00 which will give you 15 products of your choice (IZUMIO / SUPER LUTEIN). With this package, you will also automatically become a member of Naturally Plus and can start earning points. You can consume it if you want (I would highly recommend this) but at the same time, you can also sell it to friends or family for them to try 1 or 2 bottles to get them started. Price per product should you get this package will be roughly RM355. (retail price is RM435).
Step: 2: Start consuming the products. Consuming the products consistently at the right dosage, you will notice and see the difference in your health. If you are healthy (with no health conditions to heal, you will still feel good and will see positive results). It took only 2 days for me to see a remarkable reaction in Cass' involuntary urine dribbling issue. For my other girls and myself, I can say that the products have strengthened our immune system and we no longer easily get throat infections. Even if we are down with a cold or fever, the recovery period is amazingly fast!
Step 3: Start sharing. It can be with family and friends. It can be through blog, through any social media or if you don't like to share, that's OK too. Just don't do anything. Just update me with your progress and my upline and I will help you grow your business. You will be on your way to get that passive income. It will be small at first but it's still free money. Where else can you get free money? The income that you generate from NP business is credited directly into your bank account, how amazing is that! The money can be earned daily, weekly or monthly. How fast and how much you want to earn is entirely up to your effort.
Basically that's it! That's all you need to do. There is no time frame or target on when you should share or how many people you need to introduce this products to. You don't even have to share if you don't want to if you are too shy to share. Updating a photo of the product in your Instagram or Facebook is already considered as sharing. You share about what food you eat, where you go and what you do, so why not share this? Sharing is caring and you can save someone's life, trust me. Most of my customers who took a few products to try eventually signed up for the package.
Once you become a member, you will automatically start your own map. You will be the top of your map, which makes you the leader or the boss of your "organisation" or your business. The map looks like this.
You will have a right and left leg. If you are interested to grow and gain an income from consuming this product, you will want to grow your right leg and left leg as much as possible. If you are just a happy consumer, meaning you DONT WANT to share your knowledge, DONT want to tell people you are consuming this products, or DONT WANT to do anything, like it or not, your map will still
grow by itself.
Why?
Because everyone in the system only has 2 legs. Left leg and right leg. Each time someone above you (your upline) introduces someone to this business or purchase a package, that person needs to place that new customer somewhere on their left or right leg.
For example, if today you sign up a package and become a member, you will NOT be directly under me because I already have people directly under my right and left leg. I will place you somewhere under the people under me. Get it?
Your "tree" or your "organisation" will keep growing as long as people above you keeps adding and signing people up. Even if I don't sign up more people, my leader will still put people she signs up under me. This is because she needs to balance her chart too. In a way, it is a win-win situation.
This business is also about teamwork and I am SO glad and thankful that I have very good leaders who guide me very well. Just tell them your goals and they will help you achieve them.
My leader will help me close the deals if I have problems doing so because she still gets points from my deals. That way, she will always push me to do better because by doing so, she herself is doing better too. And in my case, I will want my leader to do well herself, because if she does well, she will keep adding people under me. It just works both ways. Teamwork is important because in this business, you will want your team to do well because when your team does well, you do well too. Even if someone is not from your team, you will still want them to do well. Here is why:
The bonus structures in the business will also depend a lot of team performances. For example, one of the bonus structure is called the Excellent Bonus. The reward from this is you will get 1% of points derived from total global product sales for the target period divided by the number of qualifiers.
Do you know that this product is sold around the world AND it has been Japan's No.1 product from 2010-2013. Imagine the product sales for this period? Surely a lot right? 1% of GLOBAL product sales is quite a lot already!
The faster you join, the better because that means you will be higher in the chart. So don't wait. Just sign up quickly and join us. You won't regret it. Trust me!

Green smoothie made by the mil consisting of baby bitter gourd, celery, cucumbers, green bell pepper and green apples. Not exactly my kind of smoothie but it's bursting with phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting compounds. So what the heck, I took a deep breath and gulped this thick foamy green stuff down in a jiffy, BURPS!
Chilled 'tau kok lup' (sauteed long beans with garlic, carrots, prawns, pork, preserved radish and toasted peanuts), which was leftover from lunch and dinner yesterday. It's my favorite and I really don't mind having it in 3 meals straight! It's high in fiber, protein, low in carb and really delish too!
Last Friday, I finally did something that I've always wanted to do but have kept procrastinating - baking!! :D
Sherilyn and Cass have been bugging me for a very long time to bake cookies but my reply to them has always been the same - no time and busy!
I googled for the easiest and simplest Hershey's cocoa cookies recipe ever and watched how cookies are baked on You Tube. The mil was away in Ipoh and I had no freaking idea how to use her cake mixer. So we mixed all the ingredients in a bowl manually AFTER I tried using her new hand held mixer but the mixer blew the flour and cocoa powder everywhere!! Shit, I had a major cleaning up of the kitchen counter top. That was lesson #1. Use a bigger bowl girl!
Cass was REALLY excited to help me bake cookies! It's her dream come true LOL!
She did most of the mixing while I washed the utensils and measuring cups and cleaned up all the flour and cocoa powder on the kitchen top and floor, AARGH!!
The cookie dough texture looked good and they expanded pretty nicely too after baking. The cookies looked kind of perfect from the outside but when I flipped them over, OMG, more than half the batch of cookies were burnt at the bottom *SOBS*
I was totally heartbroken! :(
Only 6 or 7 cookies were perfect.
I figured that I can't set the oven at 180C and bake for 11 minutes though the recipe said so. My mum who is a pro baker advised me to lower the temp to 160C and to reduce the time in the oven to 8 minutes. That's lesson #2.
I was and still am pretty much disappointed with this failure. I think I will need another few months to get over it to try baking cookies again! I told the girls that next time, I'll just try baking a cake from premix cake flour. Let me taste my first baking success FIRST to give me a boost of confidence before I attempt to do another round of baking, HA!
It's been a while since we last braved the hot afternoon weather to sweat it out at this stuffy and smoky coffee shop to enjoy all our favorite street food. I'm talking about the ever popular, perpetually full-to-the-brim O&S Restaurant @ Paramount Garden, PJ. This coffee shop houses one of the best yong tau fu, prawn noodles, curry noodles, assam laksa and char koay teow in the Klang Valley.
With 3 kids tagging along, no way would I have brought them here. That's why we have not eaten at this coffee shop for yonks. Since it was just hubs and me after our physiotherapy session on a Friday, easy peasy la. We didn't mind sharing a table with strangers. Another major turn-off is the lack of parking space.
For over 10 years, my favorite yang tau fu is still from O&S...
I love the har koa (prawn paste) chee cheong fun to bits. It's the best in the world! The prawn paste sauce is so gooey and luscious - so yummy, so sinful and I am so in trouble now for wolfing down a plate of CCF swimming in prawn paste! That's why die die I have to swim 20 laps in the pool every morning from 6:30 - 7am to melt away the calories!
Hubs bowl of curry noodles with extra cockles and char siew, siew yoke and roast chicken (plate of meat was ordered from the chicken rice stall) is surely sending his cholesterol level up a few notches! He also ordered a plate of char koay teow.
After this heavy brunch which corroded the both of us with much guilt, we had a very light dinner that night, consisting mainly of fruits and nuts :D
Conversation with Cass yesterday, 12 August 2015...
Cass - mummy look, Chen laoshi gave me this coin box!
Me- oh why?
Cass - I got 'ti it min'! (first place in Mandarin)
Me - first in class for your position? *feeling hopeful* :D
Cass - no, first place for bringing the most newspapers to school
The girls' school has an ongoing project for selling old newspapers to raise funds for the school.
Cass - but I have so many piggy banks. What should I do with it huh?
Me - you can give it to your good friends.
Cass - but I like it. I want to....
Me - you want to keep it as remembrance right?
Cass - you are right mummy! You just TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH!
Me - wow, that was a very articulate sentence. Who taught you to say that?
Cass - I learned it from the TV
Me - Oh!
So the idiot box ain't a total idiot! We parents just have to monitor our kids' screen time and filter what they watch to reap the benefits out of the TV.
Despite a chilly morning and having a slight runny nose, Cass went swimming with her grandma this morning. On Thursday, she told me that her throat hurt a little and on Friday, she was sneezing with slimy worm-like goo oozing from her nostrils. Many moons ago, I would have panicked when my girls had sore throat or a flu as a few days later, we would surely have to make a trip to the pediatric's clinic for fever meds. These days, I no longer panic like a headless chicken when the girls tell me that they have sore throat or have a flu. All I need are an overdose of Izumio hydrogen water, Super Lutein and Esberitox (echinacea) for the flu. And it works like a charm. Cass' sore throat lasted for a day and runny nose for 2 days.
Today, I allowed Cass to go swimming in the morning and when she came back from swimming, she proudly announced "mummy, I am so happy that my goo goo is gone!"
For breakfast, I made smoothie for everyone with my favorite kitchen gadget, Blendtec blender.
Smoothie for today composed of red apples + oranges + chia seeds + coconut water + coconut flesh + mini pineapples.
The mil bought the mini pineapples from the SS2 PJ wet market and they were super sweet! Hopefully they ain't GMO pineapples!!
2 huge oranges, 2 medium size red apples, 2 mini pineapples and 2 cups of coconut water yielded 5 bottles of smoothie which would have cost over RM65 if bought from smoothie and juice bars at the shopping mall. My cost is only about RM15!
Did I tell you that one of my many business plans is to set up a juice, smoothie and salad bar one day? Yeah, keep dreaming and it may materialize one day. I do believe in the Law of Attraction!
Izumio hydrogen water - safe and natural even for babies. I am so thankful I discovered it! And my other dream is for everyone to try it. It's life saving and you can say goodbye to many of your medicines forever once you've included hydrogen water into your daily life. Trust me! If it ain't good, I won't promote and preach. I don't want to be crucified if it doesn't work for anyone of you :D
A hot bowl of pork + scallop + dried oyster + peanut congee with pepper and salted duck's egg. Dessert is a piece of Royce' macha chocolate wafer - the most delightful chocolate wafer in the world! And 3 pips of Musang King durian haha! Better savour them as the durian season is coming to its tail end now.
MIL and I will be off to the shopping mall in a while for some retail therapy. Happy Friday world :)
Cass was chosen to take part in a Chinese story competition about 2 months back. Initially, she declined to take part in the competition, citing reasons that her Chinese is not good and lack of confidence to go up stage. However, after I encouraged her to take part in the competition and spoke to her teacher, she agreed to take part. Her teacher gave her a Chinese story book and asked her to memorize the book.
Days and weeks past and the story-telling competition gradually slipped my very occupied mind. I suddenly remembered about the story-telling competition just last week! I thought that we still have another month to practice. I asked Cass to check with her teacher again on the date of the competition. I started to panic when we were told that the story-telling competition is in one and a half week's time, holy moly! There isn't enough time to go through the entire story book in just a week. Hubs and I could not help her as we are yellow bananas. I got the Mandarin tutor's help to guide Cass and she has been helping Cass 4 times a week.
It does not matter if Cass does not get into the semi-finals, though she really wants to. I just want her to have the exposure of reciting for a competition and going up the stage to present her story. I want her to overcome stage-fright and most of all, to be confident and competitive. Winning is secondary.
Morning breakfast at Les Deux Garcons - one of hubs' latest favorite haunts as this patisserie specializing in French pastries and macarons is located just a few steps away from his shop.
Yummy salmon spaghetti for the girls...
Big Breakfast Set for the man...
Something carb-free and healthy for moi -- mushroom and spinach omelette...
Oprah cake and fresh fruits which are part of the breakfast set...
Lunch was a hearty bowl of bivine abalone, dried scallop and chicken congee with lots of ground white pepper and freshly chopped fragrant Chinese parsley and spring onions...
Scrumptious steamboat dinner at Coco Steamboat.
Prawn and scallop...
Dessert after dinner at Red Kettle...
Carrot cake and blueberry cheesecake.
Vietnamese drip coffee for the hubs
Yummy chocolate ice-cream on cone for the girls. Notice how aptly dressed Sherilyn was that night! :)

My three daughters and I are currently consumers of Izumio and Super Lutein. We consume the products for various reasons and ailments. If you are interested to get a box or two of Izumio or Super Lutein to try, you can buzz me at my email at shireenyong@gmail.com.
Lately I have been arguing a lot with the big girl. She has exactly a month to go before the big day -- the dreaded UPSR exam. The nearer the day is towards the exam, the more relaxed she gets. I don't see an ounce of panic or worry in her. She's as cool as a cucumber, come what may!
She has to stay back in school for compulsory tuition and gets home at about 4 - 4:30pm since February this year. After a fruit and snack break, she takes her shower. She used to take a nap after her shower but these days, I don't know what's with her. She would walk straight to the living room and plonks herself on the couch to watch DVD or Astro programs for at least 2 hours, thus skipping her must-have siesta. This girl MUST take her 2-hour nap each day, just like a baby, failing which she will be crabby and bolshy towards the evening. Sometimes, she will watch You Tube or sends messages to her friends on Facebook using the iPod. Now this Apple gadget is the biggest mistake hubs has made when he bought it for her a year ago for getting good grades. I have tried hiding the iPod but this girl boldly takes it back from me. No matter where I hide it in my room, she can still locate it!
The last straw was about 3 days ago when I found her playing with the iPod on her bed. She should be taking her baby nap but she was nonchalantly playing with the iPod. She did not give two hoots about me catching her. All hell broke loose and I lost my cool. My sensitive daughter broke down. We had a sizzling argument. Long story short, I snatched the iPod back from her and hid it again. I did not talk to her until the next day when she begged me to have the iPod back, like an addict, high on drugs! I was furious and my blood was boiling, so ready to spew out acidic words on her again. After another wrangle of words and another meltdown by my sensitive girl, I gave her an option -- she can only have the iPod back for HALF AN HOUR each day on condition that she finishes all her homework (school and tuition) and writes a Karangan (Malay essay) to show me. She did not accept the condition and protested. I stuck to my guns and told her that she could take it or leave it. After sleeping over it, she accepted the 'offer'.
Some kids are very disciplined when it comes to revising for exams. My kids are not so, mainly because my other half is very lenient. So they know they have the leeway. Sometimes I wonder if my tiger mothering ways are beneficial or detrimental to my girls. I have read stories of how some kids take their own lives as a result of parental pressure and pressure in school. Just a few days ago, I read that a girl in Singapore took her own life when she could not score straight As in her O Levels exam. She was afraid to disappoint her mother who wanted her to be a medical doctor. A few months later, the girl's mother took her own life. That story broke my heart. This should never ever happen to any family.
Ever since the big girl and I reached an 'agreement' on the usage of her iPod, she is a much happier girl and so am I. Today she came home and told me that she is the top in class again in her July exam. I told her that all her hard work has paid off. I told her that all our arguments and tears and my forcing her to study diligently have reaped bountifully. The both of us are very happy today.
So my conclusion is that for this big girl, I have to drop my initial plan of keeping the iPod out of her sight for a whole month until her UPSR exam is over. This does not work for her. It depresses her and me a lot. Parenting kids is never easy. But the rewards are immeasurable.
Breakkie with hubs and mil at a newly opened cafe at our neighborhood yesterday while the girls were at school...
Omelette with cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes.
Omelette with house-made baked beans, bacon and salad for the hubs.
Not really used to having such a heavy breakfast, I was so stuffed that I had to skip lunch. And I made smoothie (pineapple + orange + apple + chia seeds + coconut water) for everyone :)
On Saturday night...
Bah Kut Teh at Old Klang Road.
We were all so famished (had a late dinner) that I had forgotten to take a mental note of the name of the shop or snap a picture of the shop. We dashed right inside hurriedly to 'chop' a table as there was a large crowd outside the shop waiting to tuck into a piping hot bowl of mean porcine herbal soup.
The bah kut teh was really good -- broth was tasty and soothing and the meat oh so tender and juicy. Hubs ordered 6 bowls of ribs, several bowls of lean and partial lean cuts, piggy intestines (no no for me!), puffed tofu, Enoki mushroom as well as a claypot spicy pork. Everything was wiped clean.
However, the tables, chairs and loo were dirty! I was already nauseated when I saw the sticky peeling plastic chairs with black stains. All of us used wet wipes to wipe down our chairs and table. Well, like they say, if you want good Malaysian street food, you just have to bear with the not-so-hygienic conditions :)
Bah Kut Teh bill came up to RM151 for 6 people (3 adults 3 kids)
On Sunday, we had lunch at Oiso Korean Traditional Cuisine Cafe at Faber Tower, Taman Desa.
It was our first time at Oiso's new outlet at Taman Desa. There are about 5 outlets around the Klang Valley.
Food was good. The girls who are fans of Korean Kimchi and everything spicy, wolfed down all the spicy dishes. Oiso serves home-style Korean food cooked to the family recipes of the owner.
Unlike the more common Korean barbecue, little cooking is done at the table except for the stirring of the delicious bibimbap (RM17.90) - rice in a red-hot stone bowl together with vegetables, egg, beef, seaweed and red pepper paste (aka gochujang). Oiso's bibimbap was so delish that for a no-rice no-carb person like me, I could not resisit chowing down a bowl of yummy bibimbap.
The fried kimchi with saba fish (RM20.90) came with a chunk of fried mackerel, then simmered in a hot stew with kimchi in it. The fish soaked up all the flavours of the vegetables and hot bean paste of the stew, which made it very delish.
Bulgogi beef (RM21.90) -- paper thin beef slices pan-fried with onions was top notch in taste. The girls wolfed down this dish in a jiffy and when hubs was done serving the girls noodles, there were only a few strips left for him :D He wanted to order another portion but we stopped him coz more dishes were on the way!
Seafood ramen with spicy soup (RM14.90) -- the girls' comfort food and something that we hardly cook at home. At home, instant noodles are eaten twice or thrice a year maybe? There was also a kimchi ramen @ RM12.90 (very spicy but very flavorful). That came last and I had forgotten to snap a picture of it.
Pan-fried BBQ chicken with foo pei (tofu cake) @ RM22.90. It's sweet and suitable for kids. Another yummy dish!
Steamed egg in hot pot (RM10.90) for the girls...
When the Pajeon @ RM10.90 (Korean pancake) arrived, we were already too stuffed to eat it. So we had it taken away for dinner.
Along with 5 organic barley tea @ RM1.90 each, total bill came up to RM151.25 including tax (same amount as the bah kut teh that we had the night before!). There was a 10% new opening discount, off our bill.
The menu has a good and broad selection of dishes and sets and the pricing is very wallet-friendly. Before we left Oiso, we were already talking about going there again very soon! Yes we better patronize Oiso @ Taman Desa again soon before the 10% discount ends. This time, I'll definitely try their kimchi pancake, kimchi fried rice and other spicy stew dishes.

While Cass is going to have chicken and char siew rice for lunch today, my lunch is a skinny carb-free chicken and char siew 'rice'! The rice is replaced with sprouted mung beans (the mung beans look similar to rice) which tastes better than rice and way healthier too!
Carbohydrate-free chicken and char siew 'rice' for health freaks and weight watchers, composed of sprouted mung beans, sprouted alfalfa and sprouted snow peas, with a drizzle of chicken rice chilli sauce and ginger sauce. High in protein and fiber and packed with nutrients from the raw sprouts. I used lean chicken breast and lean char siew. Yums! :)
When you begin to make decisions about the long term care of your elderly family members, one of the options to consider is home health care. There are numerous advantages, and there are some expectations that you should be prepared to discuss with the provider before someone enters the home.
Home care is often less expensive than someone going to an assisted living facility or a nursing home. The person can remain at home, in his surroundings, so that he feels comfortable. The only thing that will be different is that someone will enter the home to provide basic care and help if there is a medical necessity. You can hire someone to come every day or once a week. The flexibility of when someone can provide care is often up to the family unless the care is ordered by a doctor.
Most home care workers are nursing assistants or have some kind of medical training. This is beneficial if your loved one needs help with walking, bathing, eating or other daily activities. The worker can assist with making sure the person eats and takes any prescriptions as needed. Some workers will help with preparing meals for the week so that the person doesn't have to cook. Cleaning the home is also one of the things that a worker can help with. These tasks can take some of thee stress for the family in providing care.
Before hiring a home care worker, you need to sit down and make a list of the expectations from the worker and what the worker expects of the family. In order for home health to be successful, both parties have to put forth the effort. If there is any sign that in home care is not the best solution, then other options can be put into place.
The past 2 weeks have been very eventful for the girls and me.
First up was the arrival of my SILs and their kids from all over the world to have a mega reunion in KL. There was so much fun for the kids and so many parties at home!
Next was the girls' mid-year exam. It was hard for the kids to concentrate studying with so much fun around them. Nevertheless, they made it! So long as I don't place too high an expectation on them, they are happy and so am I. I can loosen up my expectation once in a while. Mega reunions like this one do not happen every year and I am glad that my kids had a great time bonding with their cousins and aunts.
The past 2 weeks has also been a very, very sinful 2 weeks for everyone. We indulged in different guilty pleasures from Musang King durian to Nyonya kuih, curry, fried kway teow, yau char kwai (Malaysia's version of fried Churro), Indian Rojak, bakuteh, pizzas (for the kids) and snacks almost everyday.
I was really worried that with so much heaty stuff and lack of sleep, the kids and I would succumb to throat infection and inflamed tonsils. But we didn't, thanks to Izumio and Super Lutein. On days when we helped ourselves to excessive heaty food, we drank a little more Izumio. One morning some time last week, I woke up to a throat that was on the verge of getting sore and inflamed. I went to the bathroom and spat up a glob of yellowish mucous. I thought that I wasn't going to be spared by the strep throat virus. I drank an extra packet of Izumio and popped 2 extra caps of Super Lutein. The next day, I was feeling fine and dandy again!
I am so glad that my kids and I can now indulge in heaty food without getting a throat infection anymore. Though Izumio and Super Lutein are very expensive, they are worth every single sen. The money I save on visits to the hospital and on expensive supplements are now invested on the products. It is one of the wisest choices I have made. If you are interested to get a box or two of Izumio or Super Lutein to try, you can buzz me at my email at shireenyong@gmail.com.
