Healthy Smoothie

I'm feeling feverish & having a very bad headache + flu + sore throat... since yesterday :(

Trying to fight these off, I pushed myself to cycle this morning and made 34km on the Shah Alam loop, which means the route is quite hilly here and there. I got so fed-up with my flu, I even tried Bukit Sewel (read = more than 180 degrees hill) and I only managed half way. Nik went up for so many times and I think he tried all the Bukit Sewel there were in Sect 7... pffttt!!

Anyway, I still feel lousy today after sweating it off and then I thought why not make these wonderful smoothie, exceptionally rich in vitamins & fiber and definitely refreshing for the aching body.

So let's see how I put the ingredients together...

Orange & Mango Smoothie

You will need:

1 mango (peel off skin & remove seed) + half orange (peel off skin)

1/2 cup vanilla flavored plain yogurt (I used Yoplait)

1/2 - 1 cup low fat milk (depends on how you like it, ticker or just nice)

1 - 2 tbsp vanilla ice cream

Vanilla ice cream

Plain vanilla flavored yogurt & low fat milk

Dunk' em all in your blender, blend for a minute or two, until smooth. You can add 1-2 ice cubes if you like (but make sure your blender can be used to blend ice). I omit this step. I like mine creamier and thicker, just like shakes.

Mango, orange & yogurt, ready to be blended

Finished product

Pour mixture in a glass and enjoy......

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.

My hairdresser, Ira, was killed in an accident yesterday morning on her way to the salon. She was on her motorbike when she got hit by a lorry from the back. She was thrown away a few feet from her bike and died instantly. She suffered some internal injuries and her body was sent to her parents in Terengganu yesterday. I was devastated when the owner of the beauty salon told me. She was a kind person and knew all her customers well. I don't think I'll ever find someone as understanding as her.... My heart goes out to her family. May she rests in peace.... Al-Fatihah.
