my current favourite workout

i was in the middle of workout rut so i had not been working out. but this morning i decided that enough is enough! i was looking for some workout videos that do not scream TESTOSTERONE ( if you guys know what i mean ) yet still deliver the needed kick to my butt. AND I CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO!

through out the video, the movements keep on changing ( so it was not boring ) and it makes sure that both your upper and lower limbs move vigorously. And towards the end, they have this lateral hops movements and my outer thighs are already feeling it.

really suggesting this video to those who wanna change up their workout routine.

forever losing weight

so one of my new year resolutions is to be healthy, like lose one kg/month until i reach my desired weight.

i have been doing muay thai 3x/week, jogging for 30 minutes 3-4x/week, and doing this too! 

i can feel that my jeans are getting looser and my non-existent butts are actually there now!

but..... the number on the scale just will not go down! instead they are creeping up :(

i was 66.5kg before this and this morning it was 68kg when i weighed myself.

GOD.

THE FRUSTRATION!

WHATSOUP!

this semester, i am determined to save money (hello shopping spree!) and eat healthily!

and unlike last time, i do not want to go to the war unprepared. when i came across this, i thought this was great! soups are filling, hearty and i can make a big batch and eat it for lunch and dinner. soup au pistou caught my attention definitely!

love to hear from you about soup!

rain in the desert

maybe i am wishing for rain to happen in the desert

that's why i am listening to ron pope's song. a drop in the ocean. listen to it. beautiful lyrics.

call me stupid. an over-reacting stupid person.

but the heart does not want to agree with the brain.

nothing makes me feel better. not even the triumph of losing 3kgs just like that. out of no where.

i need you. but i don't want to need you. i want us to go our own separate ways. cos, i said before, we are too dangerous to be together. we love and hurt each other.

i dreamed of you last night. 

it's not funny.

after the long-sought sleep i finally managed to get, i got you as a bonus.

don't know if should be happy or pissed. 

blogging makes me sane. for some weird reasons. i feel like i am talking to someone even though i know i am not. 

sometimes i wish you're reading this. my blog. so that it would be easier for you to understand me. i am not a vocal person like you. i am like this. i have this side to me that i don't even understand about myself. 

but again, i should have put more effort as well.

i don't know whether it's too late or not. 

i don't know what i want. i am a fucking confused soul.

but i know it's not too late to study for my upcoming final exam.

so yea.

i hope you do well too S.

happier? yes..

actually, truth to be told..breaking up with S has made me quite a happier person if i see it from different perspectives. i get to spend more time with these amazing girls, study more, and work out more. i have made progress with my weight as well. now i weigh at 64. i still have a few more kgs to lose though.

medschool girls <3

hungry face!

elaine! my frenchy cherrie! <3

i have more time for myself. yes, the empty feeling after the break up is still there but i believe life has its own ways. sooner or later, both of us, S and i, would wake up and find that life is not that empty anymore. and yes, there will be one day, that we will be with different people. the day shall come. 

now i shall focus on exam

for those of you who are studying medicine as well. we shall make love with netters and grays. and guyton. these amazing guys. we shall immerse ourselves in them. you guys totally know what i mean ( i hope ).

and after exam..

i shall stuff my face with this

Plan B brownies! nyum!

 and go here

Pulau Rawa in Johor

hopefully. if i pass my exams. crossing my fingers tightly.

okay. i had my coffee. time to shower and put my studying cap on. 

ciao loves!

Life in iPhone pics. Again ;-)

My scents at the moment. I vary between these three, depending on my mood.

Chicken rice from chinese auntie shop near my place. always brightens up my day. :-)

Body Pump class. love love this. i like the sore feeling that i get after the class. go bum bum booty!

One Shoe Too Many...NOT! (and some random updates)

Is there such a thing as too many shoes for girls? 


Oh my God... This is so rhetorical... Obviously no!


I have been eye-ing on Michael Kors shoes because his design has the boho/chillaxed vibe to it. It totally suits me! Plus, people have been saying how comfortable his shoes are. I am so going to save money so that I can splurge on Michael Kors shoes!

What do you think about this one? I love the tan color, the boho vibe, the stripes, and the lux feeling that you get from it. I can picture a girl wearing dark skinny jeans, black loose tank, aviators, some boho bag, and these shoes! And don't forget some bangles! Hermes bangles would be nice ( check this post ).


And for those of you who are asking why I am blogging because last time I posted a post, I said that I was heavily studying for an exam. Well, the storm has ended! :D I don't know how I did but hopefully I did well. I will tell my result once I know. 


I just had banana+orange smoothie that I finished in 60seconds. Now I am extremely full and sleepy. LOL. So much for yoga. But tomorrow I am either going to work out or do eyebrow threading. My eyebrows look werewolfy! :( But I also need yoga so badly because I just did body pump class yesterday and my body is aching! Oh well, no pain no gain right? My weight has gone down a bit to 66.5-67 :) I am happy about the improvement. The tortoise wins the race, remember? ;)


I have something exciting to tell coming up! I am going to let you guys know about it soon! :))

Just a Quick Update For the Weekend ! :)

I found this picture at http://healthyisclassy.tumblr.com and I think this is very useful for girls who have hectic schedule like me ( hello, medical school? ) and are starting to lose weight but still don't know how to cook. I hope this can be useful for all of you because I find this very useful.

Okay, Now I'm off to a salon appointment that mom booked for me. I'm gonna get a trim since I won't get any haircut for the next 4 months. And I wanna lengthen my hair because S likes it long ;)


And, remember girls, looking good is the best revenge! :DD


HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND!

See you dolls later! <3

Freshman Fifteen? :(

I bet you guys have heard a lot about freshman fifteen and sadly I am on my way there :(. I've gained 8 pounds and I want to stop it and go back to my old self.

I was browsing through some blogs and I came across to http://mealsandmovesblog.com/ which is having an event called Dedicated December. Basically what you do is you stick to your healthy eating regime and work out regime despite December being a holiday month to see your old or better self! :) 

I used to weigh around 64-65 kgs ( my happy weight ) and now I weigh 67-68. I would love to go down to 60 but now I just wanna go down to 65 first.

I would love to be a better version of myself. I mean, I am not fat and I have to admit that I am kinda flabby because during the past 2 months I have not been working out and staying in the library all the time makes my thighs no good even though it did its job in terms of scores.

So, for this Dedicated December, I want to:

1. start each day with a glass of warm water. It can flush out all the toxins and make you healthier and your skin glow

2. work out at least 3 times a week in the gym and besides that is swimming or yoga to make sure that I stay active.

3. Reduce sugar intake because it is creating havoc on my body and on my skin ( pimples! )

4. stay committed even though the scale might not show any progress because the main idea is to get healthier! :)

5. eat more salads!

There are a lot more that you can do but it's better to start from something small isn't it? :)

and since me and S are going to embark on it together, i hope it is going to be easier LOL.
