Spymama @ Mamakshop

Many times I’ve been asked about nutrition and diets. Don’t know why but I simply am not a nurse, nutritionist nor anyone who can dispense such info. But I always asks my friend to do their research online. There are always sites that tell you about products, reviews by real customers or you can even go to www.newdietpill.org to find out if any new product is coming out or just started. Normally I prefer to read reviews but new products take some time to be tested by customers to see how effective they are… Oh and never forget to seek your GP for advise if you have an underlying health issue. Would you prefer to buy new launched ones or those who had been in the market for a while?

I met a lady who looked like in her forties. But she is 50 and above. I asked her how she managed to look so youthful and her black hair is so natural black. She told me that she didn’t use those artificial dye, but a henna dye. I thought that would be just what I wanted too. Those dyes in the box just makes my hair drop so I never used them. And I asked how did she get her complexion so wrinkle free, she told me that it is because of some enzyme she took. A vinegar type of fruit enzyme. She said this is much better for health and also doubles as a quick weight loss product since it is fat free and helps our metabolism to increase. Now I am just so awed by her passion for healthy food. She says berry fruits are also good for our skin and she buys strawberries, cherries and etc for consumption daily! I think I want to be youthful so I better start going to the fruit department now!

Shampoos of all types just makes me confused. They come in so many types, all stating facts that can stop hair fall, dandruff, makes our hair light, shiny, blowaway types, bla bla bla. But what about if you want to prevent it from dropping, treat dandruff and yet want to have nice, straight hair? And you are already been advised not to go for the dandruff with conditioner type… When I go to Watsons, I get some time to browze but when I go to the local supermarkets where the toiletries are, I get hoarded by all sorts of promoters, trying to sell me their stuffs. Can you imagine how frustrating it is when you tell them you prefer to browze, and yet they don’t even leave you alone, trailing you like a puppy dog but you just want to kick her? And when I go to the section of supplements just browzing around, you get few promoters trying to get your attention by telling you about the diet pills that work and which ones doesn’t.. and worst if they start making some bad comments about you. If only they let me browze and read because they simply do not understand myself, except me.

I cannot help buying Cashews, the salted ones. I can eat a pack a day, then worry about that bad breakout the following day. What to do, they are sort of something I crave ever so often. In the morning, I can skip breakfast but go for Cashews. And what I love most? Eating Cashews with Duo, the Cadbury Chocolate Bar that comes in Bitter Sweet and Milk Chocolate, two in one! This beats buying the Cashew Nuts with Milk Chocolate because the chocolate is too sweet for me. And eating those with bitter chocolate is also just halfway the pleasure! Sometimes, this snack of nuts and choc acts like appetite suppressants for me since it certainly keeps my hunger away, at least, till the next meal period! But of course it’s not a good thing to do. Don’t do this at home! Well, at least unless your parents say it’s OK…lol

There are many types of online making money programs. Blogging, Advertising and the product/service website. Wherever you surf, you will not miss out on the advertisements around the page. We sometimes get distracted by these ads but I try not to click on them in case they include download and installation of some undesirable things like spyware and other virus downloads. I once read about opportunities as a merchant account reseller.. but have not idea how they work. Could that be similar to placing an ad on your page/blog and subsequently when someone clicks and purchase something. And when they do, you get some kind of commision? How does it really work?

I know I’ve been asked by a friend to put an ad to sell domain address but not too sure how they actually work..

Oooh, I really want to get one of those cool mini computers everyone is having! Some say it’s a mini laptop. Others say it’s call netbook. What difference? If they both enable me to surf, blog and play games and watch youtube, you can call it anyway you want, right? So, the only way to check which one brand, configuration I want, I guess I have to read up on some netbook reviews. That search then made me stray to a site selling lcd televisions.. nowadays so many on a sale.. what is the latest in the market? What is the difference between that and the, say HD ready TV? What does it all mean? And how different is that with the plasma television, may I ask? And before I can ditch my big bulky body Toshiba TV, I better find out or get conned by those television promoters!… and I also found out they even have a 3D TV now!

No need to visit the nearby cinema for a 3D experience now! Wonder if I can buy that 3D version on Toy Story now?

My balcony is always wet. Of course it has been raining hard. I don’t know why but apparently tis is a wet month and there has been some flooding in locations that have never flooded before in Singapore.. Well, like Orchard Road! I really pity those food establishments like the newly opened Wendy’s because they were only 3 days old when Orchard Road flooded for the first time.. I hope they had the rainproof outdoor furniture for their alfresco area because I saw the water coming up and covering their tables and chairs, left the top part of the umbrella! And the second time it rained again, I wonder if it affected their business again or were they prepared for it?

IF the rain don’t ease up, it will be terrible, terrible for Singapore! With all that digging on the new mrts, will the situation get better or, worst?

I took out my pedometer the other day. I have been walking a lot lately and I just needed to see or know roughly how many steps I walk in a single day, how far in kilometres in distance. I didn’t actually buy a pedometer but it was actually a free gift given to me while shopping for the best diet supplements two years ago. This pretty promoter, young and looking very, healthy told me that besides taking these supplements and exercising, it is always good to know the ‘amount’ of exercise or distance one has gone through so that we do not go over the limit. Then she took out a mini box that looked somewhat like a watch sized box and told me that this will help me gage how many steps or distance in km, should I decide to walk or do some briskwalking. So nice of her, right? Guess I shall be putting it into good use finally!

Hey, of course I wasn’t kidding when you read the post before this… LOL.. a friend sms-ed me right after I posted it because she cannot believe that Spymama will go on diet.. But guess what, she wanted to recommend me something new. Not too sure what it was or going to be but she told me it is also some diet pills that many of her friends are on and they work well. So, guess my search for them can be on hold for a while since I’ve got someone who wants me to try out this product of hers.. Well, as long as it doesn’t give me a headache, water retention, I am sure it will be a great one. I can’t wait to go see her.. I made an appointment to meet her for coffee this afternoon immediately right after my dentist appointment! Guess my blog is something my friends do read at least! *shouts out to Angie: ARE YOU READING THIS!!!* HEHEHE

There is nothing more than going on a diet right now. I think I had one too many dumplings this time! Morning for breakfast, for lunch, teatime and sometimes when I skip dinner, I eat two for supper! Oh I am a dumpling lover.. hey, in case you are wondering, NO I am not talking about those wantons nor prawns dumpling. I am talking about those Hokkien or Nonya dumpling, the one made with glutinuous rice and has pork, mushrooms, salted egg yolk, that type of meat dumplings… I am such a fan that I will buy whenever I pass by any shop that sells it. It gives me a bit of indigestion problem sometimes but I will drink some chinese Jasmine or Ooling tea afterwards. After all that binging, I am now sourcing for something to ‘balance’ off that extra weight I put on, that is when even that out of the blue diet pill comes into picture. A few hours ago, I have been comparing and reading which of the many types might work for me…just like how convincing it is after reading some apidexin reviews posted on a website. I need to hurry up because a wedding dinner is coming up by the end of the month… and I had already bought that dress…arrggggh
