Oh hiatus
Sunday, December 8, 2013
Good lord. My last post was exactly a month ago.
I wish I could talk about exciting happenings that occurred off the world wide web which has made this blog space less enticing to log into. But....I can't because I have none. The past one month has been a whirlwind of gatherings, the mega office move and wrapping up a lot of loose ends to the budget for 2014. Oh and I finished the second half marathon this year :)
That's the brothers and I post-Standard Chartered Marathon 2013! Yes we swore never...
There we go again, SCM 2013
Sunday, July 7, 2013
I vaguely remembered we swore never to do this again when we completed Sundown Half Marathon about 1 month ago.
So much for not doing this again! Hahaha. The brothers and I have signed up yet again for another one!
If you are interested in signing up for Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore, do it quickly here! This is one of the most established and popular running event of the year for our city-state, so slots and shirt sizes run out really fast.
Now this time round, I am surely...
DOMS
Tuesday, June 4, 2013
Sign of old age is getting DOMS after trying to run a half marathon without training for it. Hahahaha. DOMS = Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness. Yes there's actually a medical term for soreness after strenuous exercise. It usually occurs within the post-72 hours of said activity.
I've been feeling like a walking bag of broken bones since Saturday morning. Boo. Never doing this kind of distance again without proper long distance training.
On a separate note, just had my official Bahasa Indonesia...
Is that drink making you fat?

That's it, no more Kopi for me. I'm doing the Kopi-C moving forward.
Kopi - Coffee with condensed milk (113 calories)
Kopi C - Coffee with evaporated milk (80 calories)
I have no idea what is kopi hai peng. Hahaha.
For more information on what you are drinking from that favourite coffeeshop in the morning, read th...
Smile
Thursday, December 27, 2012
I love going for Hot Yoga. Or rather, I feel connected with my instructor.
"Smile. Smile while you breathe, smile while you are in pose. Smile while doing everything, just like life". This statement of his used to get my on nerves all the time, especially when I'm struggling to move/stretch muscles that I never knew I own. 3 months on, I decided I had enough of getting frustrated with imperfect postures and that it doesn't matter if I lose my balance or make a fool of myself. So yesterday I made...

Someone asked me how does it feel after a spinning and hot yoga class. This is my answer. Hahaha.

New found love
Wednesday, November 14, 2012
I've discovered a new love for this workout combi - Spinning and then Yoga/Hot Flow/Hot Yoga. Don't ask me what's the difference between Hot Flow and Hot Yoga, both are equally hot at 38 degrees and both requires me to stretch muscles that I never knew I own.
Yesterday was Deepavali in Singapore, so that translates into (hurray!) public holiday. Managed to drag myself out of bed at 8am and was the first person to be in the Spin studio. Hahaha. I was expecting the Basic class that I had on Saturday....
And I went spinning
Sunday, November 11, 2012
So I took my first spinning class this weekend. I didn't exactly planned it. All these years I've been the treadmill girl and honestly it was getting a bit dry. I was so bored on the machine on Saturday, I strolled into the elementary Spinning (RPM) class and eventually stayed on another hour. What's a spinning class, you may ask. It's really just RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), or really just a fancy name for indoor (hardcore) cycling. Hahaha. Read here for more information.
It was done in a studio...
If you ever feel too lazy for the gym

Remind yourself of these golden words. Haha...
Muscle imbalance and all that jazz
Saturday, August 18, 2012
It's a bright beautiful Saturday and I ended up spending almost half of it in the gym. Haha.
Wendy has finally found the time to come take a look at my knee and "load up" on my exercise regime. I'm finally moving away from weird and awkward slow-mo lunges (trust me, one gets self conscious doing that in front of so many fitness instructors walking around) and really painful physio moves. And hurray! I have less resistance when it comes to muscle tearing stretches, which translates to one...
Pilates
Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Just got back from my first Pilates class. It's unexpectedly fun, sans the part that I was mildly distracted by the heavily pregnant instructor who looks like she may pop any time.
I love the people in class! They were warm and nice - and didn't mind that I needed extra guidance since I'm a midway drop-in. Hurhur.
Can't wait for my next session...
Busted Knee
Sunday, April 22, 2012
So. My knee is officially busted. Again. It's gotten worse now that it's causing ache to my lower back as well. I should have listened to my then physiotherapist about continuing those physio moves even after I ended my treatment about erm.. erm.. 5 years ago.
Met up with Wendy to get my knee fixed. There's always that extra perk of having a bestie who's a physiotherapist hurhur. But of course, it comes with additional nagging and extra sets of exercises she's not afraid to push me to do.
I have...
Attaining new heights
Friday, April 13, 2012
I've reached a new milestone in terms of running. No I'm still running at 7km/hr but I've learned to complete rounds of sudoku while running and listening to the TV blaring in the background.
Yes I slowed down to 2km/hr so I can take a proper picture. Hahaha

Back with a vengeance
Monday, February 13, 2012
My (previously 4-week long) cough is back with a vengeance.
I'm so tempted to take medical leave this week but it's such a bad week to do so! Ar...
just.can't.stop.coughing
Sunday, December 11, 2011
I think I caught some really potent flu bug. Either that or I'm at risk of developing Bronchitis like what the doctor said :(
This cough has been with me for almost 2 weeks and 3 days ago I developed fever. The last 2 nights were dreadful. I couldn't sleep at all because my body was like a furnace and the panadol extras only managed to bring it down for 3 hours before the temperature came back in full force again.
Not to mention the muscle aches and endless coughs. I swear I would have...
The 21 kilometres
Sunday, September 4, 2011
I did it.
I completed my first Half Marathon this morning - at timing of 3 hour of 15 min. I wasted about 20 min waiting for the toilet. Too much H2O I say! Hahaha.
They started early this year, which was good. By the time we were done, the sun wasn't even blazing hot and that makes hell of a difference.
The route was beautiful, covering most of Singapore's icons like the The Flyer, Esplanade, Clarke Quay, Gardens by the Bay, Marina Barrage et cetera. Most importantly the weather is beautiful...
My first 10km
Sunday, June 26, 2011
Now that my new job doesn't require me to be out of the country that much - I've taken the first step to accomplishing what I wish to complete before I turn 30.
I signed up for the Army Half Marathon and the Standchart Half Marathon. One just to complete - the other hopefully with a better timing.
Did 10 km this morning - at 1.5 hours though. At my 5th km I felt like puking. Hahaha. Can't wait to run more and at better timi...
Semi truth
Friday, December 17, 2010
And so I decided to put a stop to my allergies and see a proper good doctor. My sis recommended hers at P*aragon.
The moment I stepped in - besides knowing I have some rashes on my calf, the doctor took a close look at me and say "You are allergic to the environment, basically the air around you."
Me: "HUH"
Doctor: "Look at your eyes." Then she hands me a mirror.
Me: "But I've always had the bad habit of rubbing my eyes. Since young."
Doctor: "It's the way your eyes is trying to combat the allergy...
Sensitive baby

I seriously think I am allergic to something in my everyday life. Something that has been giving me rashes all this while.
But I don't know what it is! Ar...
Hello cute butt
Friday, September 24, 2010
As mentioned, now that I've gotten that new pair of blades, I'm more than determined to put it into good use. After all, the lady at the shop mentioned, based on the charge for hourly rent of a pair of blades, I'll get my money worth after 30 skates. Any skates after that is a premium earned.
Sounds like a plan. Especially if I'm planning to do it long term. That is if my knee decides not to give up on me prematurely. Hahahaha.
Had a 3 hour night skating session with Clara and Weng. It was awesome!...
