CNY 2017

Our 2nd CNY 2017 as Mr & Mrs Kho. I took leave on 31/1 - 1/2 so that I can enjoy my CNY longer together with the husband.

CNY eve I only worked half day. So after work, played fire crackers at office 收工，then rushed to Pelita to buy dark for eve dinner. They up the price till RM80/ duck !! I need to buy 2 for the in law and some other relative. Heart broken so expensive. 

5pm+ went my parent's home to take family photo.

Then went back to my in law's home to help out on the eve dinner. Yearly charcoal steamboat. The tradition is from husband's grandpa. They used to have charcoal steamboat at his grandpa's home. So everytime they do charcoal steamboat, they will miss their grandpa very much. I wish I got the chance to call him ah gong together with husband too. Hope he and ah ma well up there.

Our nian30 steamboat video is here. After dinner, we even went to Giant to buy husband's sam foo for CNY hahaha. Best thing to go last minute is they having 50% discount !! A samfoo is only RM20+ - RM40+. Cheap !!! Then went back to our own home to do some decoration and ready for firecrackers at 12am.

Loving these 对联. Very meaningful.

4 Lifestyle Tips for Hypothyroidism

What Can You Do to Live Well with Hypothyroidism?

Leading an overall healthy lifestyle—one that includes eating well and exercising—can help you manage hypothyroidism. But what else can you do to live well with hypothyroidism? This slideshow walks you through 4 lifestyle tips for hypothyroidism.

Having hypothyroidism can make you feel exhausted and sluggish, and it can make it difficult to concentrate, among other things—even when you’re taking levothyroxine (a type of thyroid hormone replacement therapy and the most common treatment for hypothyroidism).

But what else can you do to take charge of your hypothyroidism? Keep clicking to learn 4 lifestyle tips that can help you live well with hypothyroidism.

Lifestyle Tip #1: Fill Up with Healthy Foods

But What Should You Eat?

While there isn’t a hypothyroidism diet, you should focus your meals around veggies, fruits, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. And to keep your energy levels stable, you can eat small meals throughout the day.

Weight gain is a common symptom of hypothyroidism, so eating well can also help you maintain a healthy weight. Some foods (eg, high-fiber foods) and supplements (eg, iron, calcium) can affect how you absorb levothyroxine, so talk to your doctor about these foods and supplements.

Lifestyle Tip #2: Exercise Regularly, and Mix It Up

Walking, Weight Lifting, and Yoga

You already know how good exercise is for you, but are you doing enough of it? If you are, are you mixing it up enough? Exercise can boost energy, decrease stress, and help you maintain a healthy weight (all important benefits, especially if you have hypothyroidism).

Work in the 3 types of exercises: aerobic (aka cardio), strengthening, and flexibility. Exercises to try: Walking, light weight lifting, and yoga. Talk to your doctor before trying a new exercise program.

Lifestyle Tip #3: Get Some Much-needed Stress Relief

From Meditation to Massage

Have you been told to relax lately? If so, you were probably thinking, ‘How can I relax when I have a million things to do?’ Well, it’s time to make yourself a priority.

Having a chronic disease—even if it’s being treated and monitored by your doctor—can be stressful. It can take a toll on your overall health. To combat stress, pencil in a weekly massage or schedule a daily 5-minute session of deep breathing or meditation.

Lifestyle Tip #4: Hit the Snooze Button
Go to Bed Early Tonight

If you have hypothyroidism, you probably feel tired throughout the day. What helps? Establishing a sleep schedule and sticking to it helps. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day—including weekends. In general, the sweet spot for sleep is between 7 and 9 hours.

If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, talk to your doctor about other ways to help you drift off into dreamland.

Take Charge of Your Hypothyroidism
The lifestyle tips in this slideshow are part of any healthy lifestyle. And although there’s no cure for hypothyroidism, taking your medication in addition to incorporating these lifestyle changes can help you lead a healthy life.

THE BUFFALO'S " LUNAR NEW YEAR TOUR CELEBRATION 2017" ROADSHOW

Happy New Year 2017 to all ! 

Time passed super fast !! It's 2017 already. And I don't know what I did in 2016. Still blur. 

Thanks God that 2016 went well, not very bad. 

Thanks God for giving us strength to overcome all the stupid things happened in our life. Glad that both of us are always together to overcome all the good and bads. 

Thanks God for giving me strength to overcome all the depressed. 

Thanks God for giving good health. 

2017, I'm ready.

My TSH, T3, T4

My last blood test was March 2016, which is super long ago. Result ok but not perfect. My TSH is on high side.

And my cholesterol is super high. Not sure if it's related with my thyroid.

I supposed to go back for blood test after 3 months, but I didn't go. Because I'm lazy and it's pricy. #kiamsiap

So until I saw this promotion from Columbia Asia, so i went.

And I'm glad my Thyroid was ok, and my cholesterol still high but did reduce. Not perfect but at least better, i guess. 

Gonna go for another blood test after CNY. My childhood doctor is still on sick leave, so i can't see him and get more info. Hopefully soon.

Lazada Online Revolution - Box of Joy Review

Lazada Online Revolution finally comes to the end. I blogged about the box of joy i received earlier here. I'm going to do a review of the items in this box.

1) Nestle Cerelac Nutripuffs and Nestle Just Milk

I gave these two items to my nephews. They were so happy. Look at their smile on the face. Sister in law was happy to receive these two items (Nestle Cerelac Nutripuffs and Nestle Just Milk). I told her I received from Lazada MY. Thanks Lazada then. ☺

3) Maggie Royale White Tomyam

My husband loves spicy food. On Sunday afternoon, we were too lazy to go out for lunch, so he had this Royale White Tomyam for lunch. 

4) Nescafe White Coffee Pandan 

Me and husband are coffee persons. We love coffee. We must have coffee everyday. When we received this, husband immediately had one. Not sweet at all, usually white coffee very sweet. And within 3 days we finished whole tins of coffee sachets. 

5) Tefal Manual Chopper

I gave the Tefal Manual Chopper to my mum, to make her cooking more easy. We have manual chopper like this at home, but not easy to use as it's stuck sometime. Mum was very impressed with this when i asked her to try chop garlic. In only 3 seconds she can get super fine garlic. Save time, save energy and my mum is happy.

6) Ola Bola Bag, (free with purchase of MILO Promotion Bundle- MILO 2kg X 1, MILO 3in1 18's X 2, MILO NutriG 190ml X 2)

I gave this to husband as his travelling bag. Just nice for his short trip to ulu.
