Depending on how you wish to term your perspectives, cooking does not have to be a mundane chore, nor does detoxification. Yes, it might not give you that savoury ooomph sensation that many label to be an awesome meal, but are there not times where you wish you could have a light meal, shed a few pounds to fit into that pair of jeans in the closet? Treat it as an opportunity for you to invoke your inner creativity self and better still at the same time do some dieting. On a rather obscure note, I like to vision cooking as a comparable option to fashion. Ultimately, it comes down to what you decide to put into the pot or pan and what condiments to spice it up a notch or ruin it. Similarly for fashion, you decide the outlook with the apparels and accessories you have, mix and match and hey you might have your own dose of 'Gok's Fashion Fix' or maybe become the new icon for fashion disaster. I follow one simple rule when it comes to detoxification - Listen to your body.


With some spare time over the weekend, we decided to visit the local grocer and bought ourselves some fresh organic ingredients to prepare ourselves a 'detox feast'! Apart from spending lots of close bonding time in the kitchen preparing food together, the best part had got to be the shopping of ingredients on a busy Sunday morning. Light-hearted jokes about the silly combinations of vegetable broth we might have for dinner just brought back a smile as I pen this entry. Personally, I felt that my detox session was not just a plain affair of improving one's physical health but an invigoration of my physiological being altogether.
