There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Bibineh passed away on 7th October 2016. He was with me for 15 years. He was a gift from Bi when we first started dating. Bibineh was not only a dog or a pet to me. He was part of my family. He loved me unconditionally. I felt guilty as he was living with my parents and not me. I was not there to accompany him all the time. I did not spend enough time with him.  His days before he past away was really sad. In a way, I am glad that he is no longer suffering. He was blind, deaf and could no longer walk and instead, he was rolling around. He was also having seizures. I took him to the vet every weekend and I asked the vet if I should have him put down. The vet said, there is no need to put him down as he wont have long to live as well. I tried my best to take care of him during his last days. I went back to visit him every weekend. My mom said that he doesn't want to eat anything when I am not there. But everytime I am back with him, he would try and roll to me. Even ...

Its been more than a year since I last post about anything. I haven been very active in social media. But I do update sometimes in my Dayre and IG. But I keep my IG private. But my Dayre is open to all who might be interested in what my boring life is. My Dayre . Time is passing by so fast that one hardly realize what have been happening. Is it the same for you as well? I will make a proper post soon about something that happened to me recently.

I have started running and training again. This is I'm doing it on my own. I don't have a support group with me anymore so I will have to motivate myself and be more positive about it! My plan is to train for a half marathon in Dec 2016 and a full marathon in March 2017. Ambitious I know considering my current condition (FAT! and UNFIT!) What I am following is the program provided by my watch Polar. Its so cool! Just a sample of what needs to be done. Since its been a long time since I last ran, I had selected Level 1 to start with. It's definitely a plus to own a Polar watch!

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...

Happy New Year to everyone! 2016 is finally here! Wow my last post was back in July 2015. Something happened then and things quickly snowballed. 2015 was certainly eventful for me. I learn a lot of things and I have also learn to keep a lot of things to myself.  Most recent happening event was that I went for Escape! It was very fun! I did it together with my friends and her brother. Managed to escaped in the end but we were 5 mins overdue. But hey, it was our first try and I am proud to say we solved everything! ( with a lil help from the staff :P ) Have you tried it? I'll definitely go back for more ! We are ALIVE!                   Smile! We are on IG!

I fell and hurt my shin about a year ago. It happened when I was climbing those stairs on my way to work and somehow I kicked the steps and hit my right shin on the edge of those pebbled staircase. It hurt so bad at that time that I couldn't even straightened my leg. Tears was threatening to roll down my face, but when I saw my colleagues, I sucked all my tears back in and forced myself to continue walking to my office (which luckily wasn't very far) This is how it looks like when I reached my cubicle. Doesn't look too bad right? Just look like I scrapped it. I used Detol antiseptic cream and just moved on with my day. The worst is not here yet!!!! This was at the height of my injury! Looks so scary isn't it? The wounds was infected! I thought that it was a simple scrape! By chance, I was feeling really unwell a few days after I fell down and went to the doctor. The doctor took my temperature and told me that I was having a fever and he took a look at my l...

Never in my life had I ever thought that I would complete a Half Marathon. I remember a few years back when a colleague was talking about his experiences for Half and Full marathon, I was so impressed. Who would have thought that I would have completed a Half marathon? hahaha.  Prior to the race, I was extremely nervous as I did not really train for this HM (half marathon), plus I had walked for a whole 2 days in Singapore prior to the race. Imagine that sore feet plus over eating (cant help it, too much good hawker food in Singapore) Sibeh nervous face! You really have to plan properly on how to get to the race location. I have slight idea on how to get there. Taxi! However, I did not know that there were rehearsal for Singapore's national day going on too. So the taxi route did not go down too well as there were many roads that were blocked! After some discussions with the taxi uncle, he dropped me off at Bugis MRT, which was the most direct and fastest rou...

I curse you with all my heart !!!!

Happy New Year 2015! Another year has come to an end. 2015 is awaiting you with even more warmth and happiness! I have been with Fitwellness since Oct 2014. It has been a lovely journey and have never regretted it! Who knew I had it in me to do 19km? Ultimate goal for this year is to run a 42km marathon in Singapore! This is my transformation so far! My face is not so round anymore and my clothes are getting more and more loose! I have progressed from half dead from running 8km to feeling I could run more on a 8km run!  Although my transformation is not as drastic when compared to others, I believe that I will get there....slowly but surely. So what are your goals for 2015? Mine are 1. Get my fat level down to 15% 2. Complete Sundown marathon - 42km 3. Be kinder to all Milestones will be like  1. Eat less processed food  2. No sweet stuff 3. Do not miss workouts 4. Do my morning workout I don't always update my blog, s...

Have you read 'Me before you' by Jojo Moyes? If you haven had the chance to read it, you should. This is not a book of romance. It is not a light hearted romance. Its more about two person meeting at the wrong time. I couldnt put it down after reading the first page.  The excerpt from here. They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose . . . Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is. Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own...

I haven been running since like forever! I think ever since my wedding back in January 2013, I seldom even run and its not as if I'm that good a runner. I registered for the 5km run together with Bi for the UBD Green Run on 14th September 2014. All in the name for recycling! Like I said, I haven been running since before my wedding. So, off I went for some 'training'. By training I mean just go running on the treadmill lo. Luckily we have a new gym now at Building 4, the treadmill is fantastic! ZZZZZZZ, I can barely run 2km! Talk about being a bad runner. I think I ran about 3 times before the actual run. All within 3km or 4km. On the Run day itself, we woke up at about 4:30am (Bi said to me this will be the first time and also the last time he will join me) Arrived at UBD before 6am and quite surprisingly there were not that many people. Sky turning light Not a lot of people around Waiting for warmups! Before the run. Still looking ...

Sometimes I wish that my loved ones would give me more attentive.

Just tried out the beauty face camera mode from Samsung Note 3. Isn't this just fabulous? Absolutely loving it!

Who doesn't want to look their best for their pre wedding shoot? So here are some personal tips for ladies who are going for their pre wedding shot 1.Go for facial prior to your actual pre wedding shoot. Do not ever go the day before the shoot as you never know how the facial will provoke a breakout (that will be the worst nightmare) 2. Get plenty of rest before the shoot as you will want to look refreshed. 3. Before the shoot, be sure to tell your MUA and the photographer on what are your expectations are and what are the locations that you might prefer. 4. If you want your photos to be more personalized and not so mainstream, you will have to do some research and bring your own props. Here is a picture of my props. I have my piggies, K & J for Kenny and Jennifer, some signage, hand made windmills, hand made cutouts (from Ning), my wedding invite, bubbles (from laura), my "Getting Married" sash (from Genie), my lolly (all the way from Singapore thanks ...
