A blog about me, home, health, food and anything under the sun
Just came back from a sweaty 8 km run followed by 16-storey stair running x 5 times. Felt so good that I could have kept going! Those regular mountain runs in Mauritius have definitely strengthened my quads :) Sigh… I miss the mountain …. Dinner was a quick and simple stir fry noodle. Not a [...]
I took a really really reaaaalllly long break after my last marathon. Yesterday, after a conversation with my co-workers about this year’s Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore, I seriously felt like signing up for the full distance! Well, my mind was telling me to GO FOR IT but my body was telling me NOT to (for [...]
Last weekend I made Jalapeno Hummus. Today (I was at home) I made a simple, yet so delicious spinach jalapeno hummus dip (sans garlic), using only 5 ingredients – jalapeno, garbanzo beans, spinach, olive oil and salt. Gorgeous green isn’t it. Breadstick + Hummus = <3 Ingredients 1 (410g) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed [...]
Evening all! How is the week so far? I bought this 3.5 kg seedless watermelon on my way back home. It costs me only $2.50. Expect to see much of this juicy fruit in future posts. Yesterday’s fruit platter – Thai mangoes, Fuji apples and Korea strawberries. The strawberries weren’t that sweet. I think Korea [...]

Hey guys I hope you are having a great Sunday! Last night I told the husband to switch off all phones and alarms as I wanted to sleep in and faire la grasse matinée today i.e Sunday. But guess who was our wake-up call instead … Yeah, none other than our cat, Mikey! If you [...]
Good morning everyone! Thank God it’s already Thursday. We are off to Malacca (Malaysia) for the weekend. I’m looking forward to eating some delicious nonya food. The husband bought some huge honey Thai mangoes at $2 each the other day. See how big they are? This is the Black Chicken Herbal Soup that I made [...]
Damn, I shouldn’t have given in to sleep when the alarm rang at 6 am. I should have just woke up and go for a morning run because if I had done so, I wouldn’t be feeling as sleepy as I am right now! Monday mornings always seem to be here all too soon! I [...]
Your whole day depends on how you greet the morning. As long as you welcome it with energy and high spirits, everything will go okay. So start the day with cheers and smiles :) A 30 minutes run or other form of exercises also do wonders. At least for me, provided that I have had [...]
