Detoxification and Organic

I've been taking Melilea Greenfield Organic powder as my meals replacement. I've stopped consuming it for quite some time, but last week I started it again as I feel that my body is getting "dirtier" and it seriously needs some detoxification. Surprisingly, I've lost some weight. Not in terms of inches, but in kilos. Couldn't help but shared my happy moment in my Facebook, and now I have a few friends asking me how Melilea works.


I've heard before, but was quite skeptical about it. I thought it was another MLM gimmick. Saw it grew bigger and bigger, I again thought it was going to be another MLM which wasn't going to last long. Hahaha. Then, more than a year ago, Andrew's then-colleague-now-friend recommended this Melilea Greenfield Organic. It is some greenish powder that's produced from fermented organic vegetables, fruits and all sorts of botanicals. He told Andrew it works wonder to detox. Andrew tried it first, he kind of forced me to try it too. Gosh, it tastes so yucky! It is so slimy. *Blek* But hey, I am used to it already. I can now gulp it down without feeling nauseous or disgusting.


Back then I wasn't taking it to replace my meal, I took it at night. First sign, I kept passing gas!!! LOL! Normally at night, don't worry, not in the public. Hahaha. Then I had smooth stools. Then I felt healthier. Guess our body accumulates too much toxins from unhealthy food. To detox once in a while is actually a good thing.


Now I skip my lunch, take Melilea instead. First, to detox. Secondly, to keep fit. Hahaha. I've put on so much weight and I can't seem to refrain myself from those yummy temptations! All I can do is, eat less.


I don't encourage people to skip their proper meal. I skip lunch, but do you know that I have heavy breakfast which can usually last me till 2pm? At 2pm only I take Melilea which mixes with soya powder. That would keep me going for another 2 hours. When I feel hungry, I'll munch on something. Of course I'll suggest you to munch something healthy such as fruits or salad. Hahaha. Since Andrew is now working normal hours, I can have my dinner at 7pm or 8pm consistently everyday. So, to me, skipping lunch is fine.


If you really want to go on diet, please have proper diet too. Not eating at all is not the best diet to lose weight. Eat low carbohydrate food, more protein; less oily food, more greens; avoid snacks, take fruits.


All I want to say is, I take Melilea for detox, not for losing weight. My weight loss could also be due to the amount of food I take now is lesser. If you seriously want to try Melilea for total weight loss, I suggest you ask the expert or the agent. If you are considering Melilea for detox, I'd say by all means, go ahead. :) It's good for your body and health.


Do remember, to always start your day with a hearty and healthy breakfast! You can't function well without breakfast. Skipping breakfast doesn't help in losing weight, at all. So, breakfast please. :)


P. S.: I am not a Melilea agent, but Andrew is a member. He is not selling, purely for the purpose of individual consumption. If you want a reliable contact, it would be Andrew's friend. Hahaha. I too, am under no obligations/influences to promote Melilea. I am merely sharing my life. :) And I don't want to give people the false impression of me skipping meals to lose weight. I am not. I am a food lover, I love to eat. I eat lesser, but I am definitely eating. :D Too slim, isn't necessary a good thing. Obesity is not healthy too. If you're meaty but in a healthy way, why not? Love your body, love yourself. Eat healthy, stay happy. :)

Concerned

Few months back, when the A(H1N1) was spreading its wings of madness across Mexico and United States, none of us in Asia could be much bothered about it. Early of June, the wind has finally brought the fearsome evil to our region. Australia, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia...... People started getting panicked, face masks in pharmacies were being wiped clean from the shelves. However, one month down the road, it seemed like the people here are no longer so concerned about it. Life goes on a usual. Seriously, I've been to Suria KLCC and cinemas a few times, no one seems to be so afraid of the virus now.


Another death case in Malaysia on Monday, the first local transmission death. The infected cases has gone to 1219. Still, none of us seems to be concerned!



H1N1 Getting Worse - The Star Online
Updated: 4th Death in Malaysia - The Star Online

Mom called me yesterday, telling me that father was scolding me why I went to Singapore at this time. LOL! Well, situation in Malaysia is bad enough, why are they only worrying when I was in Singapore? You see. I guess the news in Malaysia isn't transparent enough. The people are getting the wrong signal that it is no big a deal.


You should be more aware of your surroundings from now on. This isn't a small deal anymore. Please consult the doctor the moment you have coughs and sorethroat. Treating illnesses from an early stage is definitely way way way better than treating it late! Eat healthily, have enough of sleep, try to avoid crowded places if possible, or wear a mask......


Hmm...... I shall make lesser trips to shopping mall, guess I shall cut all the movie trips too. :(


Now I have one more excuse to ask Andrew to fetch me home after work, taking that crowded train isn't "safe". Hahahaha. Shall buy a box of mask, just in case.


Well, Andrew and I are going to take the flight back to KT 2 weeks later, guess we shall wear a mask then. Better safe than sorry! And, we must be social responsible!


Updated: With the 4th death and more schools closed and more infected cases, people, you ought to take this seriously. It's no longer as harmless and simple as we thought.

No Lunchie

This is the fourth day I skip my lunch. My colleagues have been asking me everyday, "are you on diet?" My answer would always be "no lah!" Everyone thinks I'm on diet!!!


I am not that kind of girl who would skip my meals for the sake of dieting and slimming. I like to eat. The other reason I do not usually skip my meals is because I have a weak stomach. Few years ago I experienced a bad gastrict, for one whole week back then I did not eat proper or solid food. Since then, I've been having a smaller stomach. If I ate too much that my stomach can take, I'll have gastrict. Also, if I do not eat, I'll have gastrict too. Every now and then my stomach will still give me some trouble.


I skip my lunches just because I am doing detox. I take this organic drink that is supposed to help on cleansing the body. In a way, it also helps on weight reducing. Ok, weight reducing means you get rid of those unwanted toxic in your body and hence your body is lighter. This doesn't have anything to do with slimmer body shape though. LOL!


I still have my breakfast and dinner. When I get hungry in the afternoon, I normally have a cup of hot Milo or some biscuits.


This isn't my first time doing detox. I used to do it at night where I skipped my dinner, 'cause Andrew used to work night shifts a lot and I do not like to have dinner alone. Since Andrew is working kind of "normal" now and we have dinner together very often, I can only have my detox in the afternoon.


Why are people so paranoid about me going on diet? Even if I am, what's so surprise about it? Come on people, diet does not mean I am fat, and diet is not for FAT people only! Don't be so discriminative please!


P/S: Going back hometown tomorrow afternoon. I am so so so nervous now. Geez, I do not recall me being this nervous for my wedding!!! Now it is other people's wedding and yet I am more nervous than the couples themselves! Ashley, calm down, you can do this. Have faith!

Let's Pray

My colleague's boyfriend is still not yet out from a coma, and today he had another surgery. It makes all of us worrying.


All we can do is pray, pray and pray. Pray hard.


Millions and millions thanks to the young indian guy who saved my friend's life, his name is Peter. He was the motorcyclist that was behind when everything happened before his eyes. He didn't just stop a car and sent my friend to the hospital. He took care of all the belongings, made sure no others would take them, did all the registration, went to meet my colleague to make sure everything was in order. Yesterday he even went to the hospital again to pay a visit. He is only 23, yet so kind-hearted. And yesterday was his birthday.


When this world is full of bad guys, it's the simple act of those little angels around us that make the whole world hopeful again.


Also, the driver who rushed my friend to the hospital is another hero too.


For those of you who are reading this, no matter what your religion is, what your skin colour is, could you please help to pray for my friend? Just a little prayer from each of you. This is the only thing I can do to help.

Be Healthy

Andrew is sick, since Tuesday.


The mild fever just comes and goes. He would look fine now and then the next minute he would be feverish again. Went for a blood test on Friday to ascertain if it was dengue fever, luckily the result was negative. But the fever just never subsides. Given him chinese medicine too, still didn't help. Other than praying and hoping, I do not know what to do anymore.

Weight Loss

I'm not sure if I felt happy that I lost weight just 2 weeks before my wedding dinner in Johor. I was worrying that I've put on weight for the past few months and I couldn't wear those gowns nicely. But now I've lost 2kgs (approximately 4lbs), THANKS to the mild food poisoning I had on Tuesday. Yes, it was only mild food poisoning as the doctor said, and my stomach was bloated. I've been running in and out of the toilet about 10 times that day, vomitted only once. I basically didn't eat or drink anything. That was a painful day. Not sure if I've lost the water or the body weight, but I do know that it's now difficult for me to gain weight. I now have to be extra careful in the things I eat.


Stomach has been acting funnily recently. This year most of the times I went to the clinic for my stomach. Colleague had been asking me to go for some proper check-up on my stomach. I dread to go for check-up. I don't know what the doctor is going to do to my body. Whenever I think of those poking and pinching... Gosh......


I have also need to go to see an eye specialist about the floaters in my left eye. They have long been there, just that I wasn't quite bothered with them as they don't really obstruct my vision. Until recently I "accidentally" mentioned it with father and he insists that I go to see a specialist. Father has floaters too, due to the age. He said I shouldn't be having them as I'm still young. Hahaha...... Understand from father that there's no treatment for floaters. Well, then why do we still need to go for a check-up?


I have not done the pre-marital medical check-up/blood test as well. I wonder when I will have time for all this.

Stomachache

I think I ate too much spicy and oily food yesterday. Last night while having my dinner, my stomach started to ache. It went from bad to worse within 1 hour. Went to the toilet did some "bombing", twice. Ate some medicine, thought today would be better.


Woke up early morning, damn. The moment I sat up I could feel the pain at the left side. Straight away went back to sleep... Hahaha... Called in MC today.


Doctor said no spicy and oily food for the next 2 days...... no coffee, no tea, no rice, no noodles, no bread, no cake... OMG... What else could I eat??!!


Don't know why, I have sensitive stomach. I eat too much, stomach will get bloated and gassy and I throw up. I eat too oily, stomach gets upset and I'll have diarrhea. Hmph......


I still have not recover... Good way to diet and slim down??? A painful way though... :(

Gosh, please let me know if you have any remedy for migraine. No painkillers please, it only works for a short period of time.

Cough. Cough. Cough

I have been coughing constantly for almost 2 months now!!! My throat has not been cleared as well. Sometimes it's dry, sometimes with phlegm. It is so irritating. Taken some coughing syrup at night, no improvement. It affects my voice to the extent that I have a sick voice. My colleagues and friends have been asking me whether I am sick.


The cough surprisingly stopped when I was in Langkawi for 3 days! My chirpy voice was back and I could speak so loud and clear. The cough bloody started again the moment I reached KLIA.


Is it the weather in KL, or the air in the office that is so bad? Or worse, both?
