A blog about me, home, health, food and anything under the sun
I did ChaLean’s Burn Circuit 3 this morning followed by “Insanity Fast & Furious” (first time doing). I was definitely breathless and sweating buckets after that! This is the full 22 minute of Insanity Fast and Furious. Note: Don’t try if you have not exercised in a while. Breakfast was blueberry buckwheat pancakes. They look [...]
I recently decided to re-introduce weights into my exercise routine (as in 3x weekly weights). I’ve tried the strength workouts in P90x programme but didn’t quite enjoy them. Probably because I don’t have the P90x equipment (pull-up bar) and the workouts seem a little too long … and manly (?) for my liking (1 hour) [...]

More on the blog title now … I went for a day surgery earlier this morning. Inside the operating theatre, the anesthesiologist told me that they will put me under General Anesthesia. [...]
Woke up early to do some yoga before heading out. I followed the video below. Visited the hairdresser for a haircut — she trimmed the ends as well as my fringes. Kite Festival Dropped by the supermarket and got these. The dragon fruit was going for $1 a whole piece! I’m using the husband’s camera [...]
My breakfast has been pretty much the same everyday. Scrambled eggs (1 egg + 2 egg whites) with low-fat cheese and a banana or toast. Always eat a protein at every meal. Yesterday for dinner we had this Bee Hoon dish from a popular (slash always-crowded) food stall near my place. Their dishes are very [...]
Hey guys, how are you? I just completed a sweaty plyometric workout this morning. I’m currently (sorta) obsessed with YouTube Workout videos at the moment. There are so many out there and my favourites are those full-length ones. Have you heard about P90X? It’s a 90 day fitness program developed by Tony Horton and Beachbody. [...]
