My weight has gone down

My weight has gone down further. And I am happy about it. Now I can put on old clothes when I was slimmer. Don't survive to eat, but eat to survive. Gluttony is a sin. I used to eat a lot and make my money's worth during buffets; but not anymore. Too much food will lead to non-communicable diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, etc. On a happy note, my second sister will get her PhD soon, with minor revisions to her thesis to be done. She is now in Penang to take care of dad who suffered 2 mild heart attacks in a month! And he is 80 this year! I just pray for his longevity.

Penang has the Best Food

We Penangites are lucky to have a wide variety of food - from hawker street foods to fine dining in a posh hotel and Michelin star restaurants offering the best delicacies. There is a repertoire of food to cater to different budgets so that it won't burnt a hole in your wallet. Penang has some of the most affordable food in Malaysia and Asia. It is famous for its 'laksa' - a fish and salad soup with piquant taste. It also has the ubiquitous 'nasi lemak' this a a favourite amongst the locals, since it is also 'halal' or kosher. I guess, being a born Penangite, I am lucky to live here and spoilt for choice.

Food is Comforting

When you are stressed out, just chase the blues away by eating. But don't eat too much and put on weight. This is no good and will increase your BMI to show whether you are overweight or obese or severely obese. On National day, fallin on 31st August 2017, Malaysia celebrated its 60th National Day in Kuala Lumpur and I took the opportunity to shop for cosmetics, mainly anti-aging serum which got me 3 free vouchers of RM 20, totalling RM 60 worth of vouchers that is valid for 3 months in AEON. I still haven't decided what to buy, but when the time comes, the vouchers will come in handy. For every RM 100 that you spend on that day, you will get RM 20 worth of voucher. My expenditure was RM 325 which will last me more than 1 year.
