Good Day

Even though my oven is closed, my kitchen definitely has to run its normal operation.

Since the incident, I m a bit particular on my diet. I m more on fruits & vegetables.. & minimizing the intake of carbohydrates & fat.

I realize that I got to love my body very much now.. 

As, HEALTH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT MANKIND SHOULD APPRECIATE..

OKRA known in many English-speaking country as LADY's FINGERS or in Bahasa Malaysia as BENDI and some even call it BENDE.

BENDI is actually incredibly healthy. It is actually quite tasty and nutritious too.
