Fruit Diet - I tried it - Day 2

I was so hungry! I also felt ashamed because I ate roti canai (a type of pancake but thinner and having with savoury sauce), just a small portion. When it came to dinner, I didn't want to eat anything including fruits. I planned to go to bed early to avoid eating. But then I practiced my meditation in an hour and a half. Following that, my husband needed to work late so I made him some ramen. I didn't cook for me. I was afraid of eating at that time of the night. (Still wondering if I am stepping into eating disorder or not). At the beginning of day 2 (but it is day 3 actually), my husband cannot follow the diet anymore. He needs energy to work, I made lunch for him. Also made for me. But I don't want to eat. I just weight and it drops 1 kg. It makes me happy. Is it okay? I don't know! Kids, be happy and healthy.

Fruit diet - I tried it - Day 1

Hi guys! This is me, in another day that I feel pretty bored (forgive me). I decided to try Fruit diet. Per my understanding (please don't judge me, I know I'm nowhere near to "diet professional"), Fruit diet is a diet that you're allowed to consume only raw fruits. It including fruits, nuts, smoothies, etc. And, you can follow the diet as long as you can. However; in order not to make it too difficult, I will try it in 3 days. So, this is my first day. It actually started yesterday but because I have some cakes at tea break with friends, I'll skip that. I didn't have proper dinner last night. In stead, I had 1 slice of papaya and 5-6 cubes of rock melon. Obviously, I woke up hungry this morning. I almost forgot the fruit diet (or I wanted to pretend like I forgot it? haha). Anyway, I ended up eating a bowl of a kiwi, a banana, few cubes of rock melon, and a quarter of an orange. Opps, and 2 spoons of yogurt. It's kind of hard since I usually hav

Your parcel is "held by custom" and what to do!

Hi there, if you come across this post, I know how you are feeling. But don't worry. Below is my experience with Malaysia Custom when order things from oversea. Hope this would help. I will write it in chronological order so that we know exactly what we should do at each point. I ordered something from Etsy (US) on Tuesday, 24/09/2019. Everything was fine. I kept tracking it until it reached KLIA on Wednesday, 02/10/2019, tracking records showed "Custom Clearance". It's still fine at that moment. I just thought, ok, they did their job, nothing to worry about. Then, on the same day, I saw status update as below: Right away, I knew something weird happened here. I started searching on internet (thank you, my anonymous friends in lowyat forum). I realized that for parcel (or parcels) that value more than RM400 will be held by custom for clearance and receiver is responsible for paying import tax and duties (if any). More searching, it turns out that ANY susp
