They are so sweet

Have been eating really lots of chocolates recently.

There's one given by a friend from Switzerland last week during the meditation class. We sort of asked him to bring some nice Swiss chocolates back before christmas and there he was, bringing a full bag of chocolates. He gave I and Yean one bar of chocolate each, and intended to give more, and of natural response we said no thanks as we were already very happy with a bar of chocolate. He kept on persuading us to take more and eventually, he stared at us with disbelief saying, "Chocolates are soo nice, how could you reject the chocolates......" Haha! Now I can see the cultural difference. I guess he thought that we would just happily accept what he gave us but we were too used to get what's enough and "No, thank you" for those more than that!

And then Jess was being a Chocolate Santa today too! She gave such cute little Lindors to us and they are really nice!

Sweet. So sweet. Have to control my sugar consumption and eat them bits by bits.
As a future pharmacist, perhaps I should talk more about Five a day.....( which our house really aim to achieve that!)

So what's five a day? It's NHS programme of encouraging people to have at least five portions of vegetables or fruits in a day. A healthy way of eating towards a healthy life. http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Pages/Portionsizes.aspx

Five a day can be easily achievable but it can also be so difficult some times especially when I seldom cook! Veges or fruits that I usually have to get one portion of five are:
a medium apple
a medium banana
broccoli
carrots
..... ( the list is  not exhaustive)

Check this link out! I really like the simple presentation of how to get five a day easily:

And wow! As I am searching for five a day, I just realise that I can easily get a portion from only 3 heaped tablespoons of carrots! Great I always have more than that :D

Am being a little bit too obsessed with bags recently. The one that I usually have has holes and cracks everywhere. Its lifespan gonna end soon. And the good news it, I..just Won an Auction! (which I can't believe myself did it too!) Won a bag with just less than 10 pounds. I created another victorious history in life by winning an auction. Hahaha...
