Veterinarian, Blogger & Mother. Cecylia shares her musings on life and style in the same breath. She passionately believes that "every day is worth dressing up for."
A busy lifestyle is like a double-edged sword. Always on the go but never eating healthily. With my varied commitments of vetting, blogging and eventing, usually I’m too lazy don’t have the time to cook. My diet is either splendiferous salads or deadly desserts. And when I do cook (I love hosting dinner parties!) it’s usually banquet size (but not banquet quality) because I am portion-blind.
But one day, my bad diet woes came to a halt when a vet colleague pulled a bowl of steamed vegies and fragrant fish out of the microwave. Wow! She cooked dinner with one finger. In 7 and a half minutes. “Birdseye!” She chirped. So when Birdseye asked me to ‘test-cook’ their healthy dinner packets, I couldn’t swoop on the offer quick enough. Anything for food. Especially food that won’t harden my macaroon-filled arteries. So now, to the relief of mother-dearest, I can finally and consistently eat a balanced meal since leaving home 5 years ago. And the best part? I still have room for cakes!
[spoiler title=”中文版”]繁忙的生活像把两面的宝剑。一方面，我的生活很活跃， 另一方面，我的饮食很差。当你做兽医，写博客，参加一系列的聚会活动， 烧饭的时间很少。 我每天吃很多甜点。因为我不常烧饭，没有分量概念，每次烧总炒太多的饭菜。其实我很喜欢举办晚宴（但我烧得并不是晚宴的质量）。
有一天，我不良的饮食习惯终于停止了！我的兽医同事在吃晚餐的时候从微波炉里取出一碗鲜美的鱼和新鲜的蔬菜。才七分钟半。最棒的是，她才用了一根手指“烧”了晚餐！“Birdseye！”（译：鸟眼）她笑嘻嘻地告诉我。所以当Birdseye邀请我来“测试烧”他们的晚餐时，我太迫不及待了！我爱吃，尤其吃美味， 容易烧的食品。妈妈，你看，女儿嫁出去后还能吃得健康的晚餐！：）因为这顿晚饭那么健康, 吃完后我还能吃甜点：）[/spoiler]
