Hello there, dear friends 
It’s been such a long, long time since I played TAG as a kid and now, I’ve been tagged online by my dear fellow blogger friend, sweetosie. The objective of this Tag is to tell you 5 things about myself that you don’t know yet -
1) I am not afraid of rats/mice, lizards, cockroaches nor snakes …… but I am terrified of worms…..any type….from teeny, weeny ones found on vegetables to those hairy, slowly crawling caterpillars…eeeewww!! 
2) I usually don’t eat much of my own cooked food or enjoy it as much as my family do, but I would go crazy over anyone else’s cooking – it can be just a bowl of rice and a simple fried egg but to me, they will taste absolutely heavenly. 
3) when I was a kid, I literally grew up on Maggi mee (a popular brand of instant noodles), and I would have it everyday for breakfast because I just love its taste! In those days, the Maggi chicken flavour mee soup used to have wonton skins which tasted so smooth and good. I know, it was not a very healthy way of eating then but I was ignorant. Hehe, these days, my hubby only allows me to have instant noodles occasionally.
4) I simply love the arts of healing – I am a retired Usui Reiki Master and very recently, I am very honoured to have my healer lady friend teach me her ancient art (her healing abilities was inherited from her late grandmother) of foot reflexology free of charge, but I have to build up my “inner strength/stamina” first by practising on my family members. When I learn more, I will post some of the basic techniques here – I know there’s one which most of you will be excited to find out ===> which point to activate on our feet to lose weight!
5) when I was in school, I was also a member of St.John’s Ambulance and was trained in the basic first aid skills and used to volunteer as medical aid at football matches on weekends.
There you have it – now you know a little more about me. Now, I have to look for 3 other bloggers to tag …… hmmmmm…. …

So lovely dear choesf! Beautiful
I wish I could come over and you could practice the foot reflexology for as long as you wanted
You are a very gracious & spiritual person and your healing is no doubt very special xx
We were both in St John’s! I was also in calisthenics, which seems quite unbelievable nowadays… I thought I was very clever and beautiful
Trust me, nobody would want a demonstration nowadays…
Have a lovely week dear choesf * big hug*

Hehe, my dear sweetrosie, how nice if I stay near you, then I can always pop over and eat your lovely cupcakes every week (and get fatter from them
) and I can give you some foot reflexology in return! 
Actually, I saw you wrote about being in St.John’s and I was glad to know that and so I mentioned about it here, too. I enjoyed being able to learn calisthenics just as you did, too.
Good night and sweet dreams from KL!
With love and hugs,
choesf

Dearest choesf!
Congratulations on your reflexology studies ! If you are so scared of warms, here is what I do before cooking vegetables or eating them raw : in a large bowl of water I put 100 gr. vinegar, than leave the vegetables in for 10 minutes. The warms will drop back in the water and the veggies are clean and ready to be cooked.
I hope it helps . Hugs,rose xx

I really thank you for your wonderful tip of using vinegar to clean my vegetables, dearest Rose!
I will use this method as cleaning vegetables can be quite stressful for me – I jump everytime I see a worm and I would drop all the vegetables, gather back my nerve and then resume cleaning them!
It is especially worse when I have to clean lots of watercress which I usually buy 2 kg for making cleansing soup, and there are leeches in them. Eeeewwww!
Thank you again!
With many hugs,
choesf
