A blog about me, home, health, food and anything under the sun
This past weekend flew by so fast. I was on work duty on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons (something that I have to get used to because come next year, there will be weekend events once every month), hence didn’t really get to do much. We were both so tired yesterday after dinner time that [...]
How was your Tuesday? Mine was pretty good. My parents are staying with me this week to keep me company (the husb is still in Palembang – Indonesia). Mum and I went for a run/walk (4 km) this morning. She brisk walked while I did some interval running — I walked with her during my [...]
On Sunday I baked a banana pumpkin bread (recipe at the bottom of this post). It looks like the recently baked GF chocolate chip pumpkin bread, doesn’t it? –Banana pumpkin bread– Texture-wise, it is less dense than the GF chocolate chip pumpkin bread. I think it is because of the type of GF flour used [...]
After I left you with yesterday’s post, I received some bad news — things that you don’t ever want to hear in your life. I won’t go into details but just to share that I am very upset and scared right now :( *** Here’s a recap of my birthday celebration. Warning: Heavy pictures ahead. [...]

The husb is on leave today. So what do we do when we are at home on a week day? We goof around with our cat :D Mikey vs Optimus Prime haha Mikey was definitely scared of this giant. He’s hiding. See? *** I blackened some chicken drumsticks today PrintHoney Baked Chicken Yield: 2 Servings [...]
I haven’t gone to the public gym in YEARS. I kind of feel weird stepping there now! This is my room setting when I do ChaLean Extreme. I’ll bring my notebook and get it connected to the TV. I will also cover the carpet with a large towel to protect it from the sweat! Say [...]
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) [...]
