For a start, hubby has been having high cholesterol. He takes good care of his health, exercises often and have good eating habits, but he still ended up having high cholesterol (it's heredictary as mother in law is with high cholesterol and high b.p. as well). He has been complaining about having neck ache and giddy spells off and on. Then one morning, he found himself not able to stand up because he was feeling giddy and dizzy. He went to the see the doctor later in the evening and his b.p. were 143/90 !!!
The doctor is monitoring him and he will be going to do a full medical check up soon. However, he he did a cholesterol test a few days ago and although his result is still high, it's an improvement compared to his earlier results done some 6 months ago. We also bought an automatic home blood pressure monitor (OMRON IA2) to help him monitor his b.p. He has been recording readings between 130/85 and 140/95. He's not on medication. Well, not yet and that is something we wish to avoid, if we can.
His full medical check up should be able to shed more lights. For the time being, he is keeping a close eye on his diet.
Joseph had a cool pool side birthday party for his 1st birthday celebration. It was really fun and Caitlin had her first dip in the swimming pool and she was such a natural. She was not afraid and even "paddle" towards the deeper end of the pool. She took it like a duck to water.

This is the state of Ryan's shoes on Fridays; smelly and dirty after he trashed them for the last 5-days. We will make him scrub his shoes as clean as possible, leave them under the sun and just before they are dried, mummy will apply the "whitener" to make his shoes more "presentable".
Aunt Jo have been boiling dessert for us for the past few weeks and one of her CURRENT favourite is white fungus with Gingko. The dried white fungus will "blossom" into what-is-seen-in-the-picture after soaking for at least 30-minutes. As for the gingko, we will need to remove each of them from its shells, cut in into halves and remove the 'green sprout" found inside each gingko. Otherwise, the gingko will taste bitter. 
This is an overdue post.
