My favourite snack of the week!

This month I thought I would my forgo my potato chips snacks and replace it with something lighter. While visiting one of the local Japanese store I saw this seaweed snack "Tao Kae Noi". I bought two versions of it, the seafood flavour and the wasabi flavour - AUD$2.82. I opened both packages just to try them and since they came with resealable zippers, I could keep them after they have been opened. Ok for the verdict, I absolutely loved the seafood flavour although the wasabi one was not bad - not for the faint hearted. Check out the pictures below. It was yummy but how did it fair with calories? According to my iphone app fitness pal (great app to check your daily dietary diary). The seaweed snack that I purchased was 40g and totalled only 140 calories (nutritional facts below). Not bad compared to a full bag of chips.Try it and give me your opinion.

Say NO or forever hold your peace!

Do you want to join us for dinner, drinks? "you don't know the people, most likely would hate the conversation, might be left on your own the whole night etc etc...because you have been there before" Ans: Yes I would love to come.
How many times have someone said yes to many things that they know instinctively that they would not like.I don't speak for everyone,but it has been a long journey since I could say NO to people. Maybe I am too afraid to disappoint or think that such mingling would be fun. It does not happen in a day and needs quite a bit of awful experience to even come to this level. Even how bad I feel on turning down an offer I try to think what I could have done with those stolen moments... Maybe rock up a nice jewellery set that needs finishing (yes I make jewellery in my spare time, maybe next post). Whatever it is, it has been a liberating experience just saying NO and sitting down to have good quality time on my own.

Lingering tussis!!!!

Tussies is in Latin and it is commonly known as common COLD!!!! yes it is one of the most common disease if it is very frequent and your nose has not been the same since the cold!

I have been having this persistent cough for the past few weeks & having gone through the usual treatment, it has not stopped. I have left this problem for too long and when I went to the doctors to check it out, I have had 2 X-Rays so far and now......I have to get a CT scan just to make sure it is something that I would not want to keep aside for too long. I have check out some topics on persistent cough & I was surprised to get so many information about it.

I would suggest if anyone has the same symptoms like I have had, just pop in to a clinic & check yourself out, if its nothing it would be great, isn't it? but if it was not, then you don't want to get the feeling" I should have done it before".
