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......

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

The Day I Decided To Write Again

I've closed this door some years ago... and I thought I'd be closing it for good.  Even my last visit here was years ago.  Today I decided to open it up again.... and maybe I should start writing again.  So many things happened in the last few years, good and bad, happy and sad... now, I guess, is just the time to share some and to keep them here as memories. Welcome back to my space.
