High anti-oxidant & pro biotics breakfast

Good Morning !~
( from GMT 0 London )

What would you like for breakfast? Some hot English muffins with egg benedict? Some Nasi Lemak with plenty of sambal and fry egg? Or just a simple on-the-go chocolate muffin with a cuppa?

It's been a cold and wet morning in London, it feels more or less like 10 degrees celcius out there. I'm all warm and cozy curling under the warm duvet in my room with my hot water bag in my arms, and my Jerry bear next to me. I'm just too lazy to get dress to go out for a nice and warm cuppa & breakfast, hence i have whipped up my own breakfast in my room.


High anti oxidant, pro biotic and vitamin C.
Greek Style Honey yougurt, BlueBerries, Blackberries & Berocca Vitamin C efferverscent tablet.

Loads of Blueberries & Blackberries...  


The berries are so fresh and sweet; and not forgeting my daily fix of Vitamin C, to boost up my immune system.


"It's well known that berries are high anti oxidant fruit, especially blueberry.  It is the anthocyanins, a family of antioxidant pigments, that makes blueberry blue in colour. Anthocyanin pigments color many other dark red, blue, and purple plant foods. But blueberries are a superior source of anthocyanins! The deep, rich color of blueberries demonstrates an intense concentration of anthocyanins. Blueberries also contain a variety of these pigments, up to 30 different anthocyanins.

Anthocyanins combat oxidation, the wear and tear on our tissues. Oxidant are produced by normal metabolism, by aging, and by toxins from the environment. Oxidants damage tissues; "antioxidants" prevent and sometimes reverse tissue damage. Due to concentrated anthocyanins, blueberries, along with bilberries and blackberries, are near the top of the range in the antioxidant potency of common fruits and vegetables. "

Blueberries are also known for Brain food! Can you believe it??

"One of the astonishing facts about blueberries is that they benefit the brain.


The anthocyanins of blueberries are believed to be anti-inflammatory in the body, gut, and brain. Researchers believe the anthocyanins pass through the blood-brain barrier and concentrate in critical areas of the brain.

Animal studies show that blueberry consumption slows and even reverses brain aging and improves memory, learning, and motor function. Experiments with rats and mice are exploring possible use of blueberries in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. "

I'm so happy that my breakfast brought me so much goodness. So, stock up your fridge with plenty of blueberries, they may look ugly or weird in blue color, but the nutritional facts of it is definitely worth for you to swallow that ugly little fruit.

It is said that, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. No matter how busy or run out of time you may be, grab a handful of blueberries, a bar of muesli or cereal, and your favourite cuppa and run. That should be give you an appropriate amount of anti oxidant, fibre, vitamin c, and most importantly, your caffein fix in the morning.

Wealth is nothing without good health.

Take care peeps.

A lot to update, I swear I will do it after my exam. Meanwhile, wish me luck :)

Espana - Granada


Granada, south of Spain, Andalucia region, is one of the most ancient city, and was once occupied as an important town before Roman times, and the last city in Spain occupied by the Arab conquerors. Granada sits at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which covers with snow during the cold winter, and provides a great place for winter sports.

The most famous of all in Granada, is its ancient old palace - The Alhambra Palace. The township was build surrounding this beautiful ancient palace, with a lot of small lanes and alleys that were being preserved as world's heritage.

Granada has welcomed our arrival with gloomy skies and cold wet weather with drizzles and rain throughout our stay, how sad was that. Still it didn't put us off the schedule to visit the beautiful palace - The Alhambra Palace.

It's told by Jeslyn's friend that Granada and The Alhambra was simply beautiful, and indeed it is. I love the ancient small town feel of Granada. It seems like i was living in the history of Spain, witnessing this town being taken by the Romans and the Arabs. The houses around the palace are unique and exoctic, with designs resembling the Arabs lifestyle and yet having Christian feel, and with the Holy Cross across most of the streets. Having being invaded and conquered by different leaders of different religions, from muslim to christians, and long before that, it was said that Granada was a Jewish quarter, that's how the town got its name. No matter which it is, all these have definitely enrich the town.

On the flight to Granada...

The beautiful Alhambra Palace & Generalife








It happened that in this small ancient town, there's a very famous restaurant, well-knowned for their Iberico ham!!
Look at the amount of ham hanging from the ceiling!! I'm drooling....


This is just making me so hungry... I love ham... especially parma ham...


The name of the restaurant
That's right - La Cueva
just right infront of Plaza Neuva. Muz try!

Small portion of the selection of their Iberico Ham... yummy!!!

The night of Granada is quiet and serene, and yet has it's own charactericrics. I didnt have a professional DSLR or so to capture the beautiful night, so i just made do with my compact camera...





I think i should really invest in a better camera, so i can take better night scenes...

We spent our night drinking and watching flamingo dance at the cold and wet Granada...


Our 4 flamingo dancers...





I cant understand what are they singing actually, but four of them are doing a fabulous dance... We only manage to spend a night at Granada as we need to proceed to our next stop - Seville...
Hopefully i'll have the chance to revisit Granada someday.

It's My Birthday

22 Feb, the day many years ago, my mum and dad waited anxiously for my arrival, the day that my mum suffered the unbearable pain to bring me into this world, the day which i first see and breath the world. It's a day that i must thank god, and my parents and my siblings, and all my lovely friends, for their love, care, patience, understanding, blessings, nuturing, teaching, that i'm who i'm today. Without either one of you, there will not be me.

It's my first time after many years, that am spending my birthday alone in a foreign land. Some said it's kind of lonesome and depress to be alone and far far away on this special day. I see it as a blessing, as i have ample time to myself, to think of what have i done and what and where i should be heading for.

Thank you so much to my bunch of lovely frens - my dearies back in jb, yin-ken-tomato-gary; my bffs in sg - flo-sher-jess-jazz; my lovely classmates - kaixin-angie-ben-hazim-roy-clare-reuben-geetha-sanjay; for all the effort made for the surprises, the lovely meals and beautiful cakes and gifts... I'm trully touched and grateful for all that all you lovely people have given to me. I'm bless to have all of you in my life, and all of you have made my life a better and colourful one!














Thank you once again... luv you all...
May god bless me and everyone i love
with good health, great wealth and best of luck,
always surrounded by happiness, bliss and laughters
throughout the whole 2011.
