Not A Shopaholic

Too bad, the Malaysia PC Fair has already ended last January 10. I just hope there will be another Fair by the time we go and visit Malaysia this year. Early last year, we were able to attend the PC Fair in Taiping and bought ourselves a nice, cheap computer sound system. This time I want to get a portable DVD drive and external hard drive for my netbook. It’s really fun to go to this PC fairs, you get to see a lot of cheap computers and accessories from external hard drives to KVM switch. Hopefully, Hatyai will also have PC fairs with cheap items.

I’ve always been dreaming of getting myself an elliptical machine. I told my Hubby that once I have this exercise machine, I will be forced to exercise everyday because it’s expensive and I just don’t want to waste it by not using it. My Hubby just smiled when I gave him this ‘logical reasoning’. Then, I thought of the waist trimmer disc that I bought a few months ago. I bought it  for 19MYR at Tesco. I used it a few times and now it’s dusty and lying on the floor for months, untouched. Then , I thought to myself, ‘how can I be entrusted with big things when I can’ t trusted with much?’ . LOl! sounds very biblical but it’s quite true. Oh, if only there’s a quick weight loss solution.

I can’t believe that I’ve been cooking meals for the family consistently now. We actually made it as our  New Years resolution to eat at home 6 days a week and only eat out on Sundays. This way, we get to save a lot of money and at the same time eat healthier food and minimize the consumption of soft drinks. For the past years, we’ve regularly eat out or buy food outside. But when we came back from our year break, we realized that food prices at the restaurants and food stalls have greatly increased and therefore it’s no longer practical for us to eat out regularly.

I’m extremely enjoying cooking for the family now. I get to choose my own recipes and make sure to regularly include vegetables in our menu. I’ve heard that eating fruits and vegetables is one of the best cholesterol treatments .
