This recipe curbs your appetite for the whole day (if your appetite is small) or reduces your meals to two meals a day! Plus, it is packed with sensible amounts of carbs, plenty of fibre and Vitamin C. Try with raw veggies or sour fruits if you dare...have fun!

Be a Smart Consumer

Today my family and I went to Hypermarket T to shop. Wow, what offers there! We were attracted by the "buy two for RM8" offer, when the thing (a dairy product) costs more than RM4.
When we paid for the goods, we were shocked for there was no discount for the product at all! It was obvious that the management tricked us for good. We had to wait for around 1/2 hours to get a refund.
Friends, never be drooled by the various offers in the supermarkets. Once bitten, twice shy!!!
今天我和家人到T超级市场购物。恰巧那儿举办大减价。我们深深地被“买二等与RM8"的促销活动吸引住了,而那物品正好超过RM4呢!
天啊,当我们付钱时,那物品竟然没有折扣。我们上当了!要取回所应被折扣的钱,还得等上半小时呢!

亲爱的朋友们,请把我的事当成借镜,别重蹈覆撤。
