Looking & Feeling Good From Inside Out

That was my 3rd visit at the slimming centre. No, not because I am fat (ha, ha, ha .... at least that's what I think) but because I am having some stubborn fats that refuse to go away even though I have been faithfully going to the gym. So... need the consultant to put me in a programme to help me shed off those stubborn fats.

To my surprise, body detoxification, especially the lymphatic canal is crucial if anyone is looking at a slimming programme package. Of course, along the way, we must also co-operate with the consultant on their meal plan advice. Actually, it's quite a torture telling myself to co-operate with them. Why? Because my hubby & I love good food. We are that sort of fellows who will make it a point to try out any good recommendations that appear in news articles or if recommended by friends.

Don't mistaken, I am not asking for the perfect super model figure. I will be just as contented to be slightly slender, toned up; and looking & feeling healthy from inside out.

Not asking for too much, right?

An Afternoon With Richard Clayderman

Here I am, alone at home now sitting in front of my blog writing away. My window next to me & the breeze of the wind gently sweeping the side of my face & my hair. No one around - my children in school, my hubby at work & my mum out with her friend.

Richard Clayderman's playing one of my favourite pieces - "The Power of Love". Every note on his piano sounds so distinct & melodious. Another favourite of mine - "Song from a Secret Garden". Feeling the power & following the beat. Immersing myself into his "Triste Coeur". Imaging how he manoeuvres his fingers gracefully up & down the keyboard.

Hmmm ... so refreshing & so serene ... Peace ...

8 August 2008 - 8.08pm - China Olympic

Friday evening again. Supposed to be a cell group gathering at our cell leader's place. With an impromptu decision, we have changed it into yet another enjoyable evening - watching the once-in-a-four-years Olympic Opening Ceremony hosted by China.

The array of colours from costumes & flags of various countries; and the many symbols of art displayed in dances, lightings & fireworks - all so stunning & captivating. Parades by contingents from 205 countries. Everybody so high-spirited, carefreely walking pass & waving to the spectators; all supportively cheering on. Many members of every contingent were holding cameras & video cameras capturing moments of happiness around them. Some were even talking into their mobile phones while parading around the stadium! Truly carefree & unrestricted in such a formal occasion.

A long awaited dream-come-true celebration of the chinese people in the Mainland, happening on 8 August 2008, at 8.08pm & co-incidentally also on the 8th day of the lunar calendar.

Spring Back To Good Health

My mum had her pacemaker replaced after 10 years . She was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday. I am thankful to God for overseeing her well being and has put her through the surgery without any complication.

Replacing a pacemaker in an ordinary patient is actually not a big issue; but for my mum's case, who is on warfarin, a blood thinner, going through such a simple surgery can be quite a complicated matter.

Halleilujah! Praise God for what He has done for my mum - bringing her back to good health, each time when her health was in bad shape - first with cancer and then the relapse and heart problem which required the valve to be changed.

My mum is now well and up planning her next holiday to China in September.

Praise God, Praise God.
