Some random facts about me
- I was born and raised in Mauritius (an island located in the Indian Ocean, East of Africa See Wiki). I speak english, french, creole and some mandarin.
- I’ve lived in Beijing, China from 1997 through 2000.

- Some significant events that took place in the past 10 years of my life.
- We tied the knot in 2008.
- I love my cat (Mikey).
- I am not a fan of rice, pasta and noodle.
- I am not a foodie person. I like to try new food occasionally but most of the time I tend to eat the same kinds of things over and over and over again. I’m a creature of habit.
- On the other hand, I like to be adventurous in my kitchen by trying new recipes or coming up with my own :)
- Since July 2011, I’ve cut down (not completely eliminated) on food containing wheat (especially bread, which I so loved).

I like Jackie Warner, Jillian Michaels, Shaun T and Chalene Johnson. I completed Beachbody’s Insanity 60-day workout back in December 2010 and I am currently doing ChaLean Extreme. I’m in Phase 2 at the moment (last updated: 24 Aug 2011). - I’ve completed 3 marathons (PB: 3 hr 55 in 2005), 4 half marathons, one 50 km run and a few 10 km (PB: 45 min) and 5 km.
