GLUTEN FREE (Rice Noodles)

10/29/2018

As you know i'm celiac or Coeliac disease which is permanent, autoimmune disorder that causes a reaction to gluten which is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. Coeliac disease (pronounced see-lee-ak) is a permanent intestinal reaction to dietary gluten. In coeliac disease the cells lining the small bowel (intestine) are damaged and inflamed.(click here to read more)

In other words I can't enjoy the simple things in life, like a warm toast dripping with peanut butter, pizza and  most importantly burritos,,, (cry me a river) This girl is so over it and i thought i share with u some easy to do meal even my 12 year old self could manage it, still can't manage the dishes though.

I miss a good stir-fry noodle but do not lose hope, there's option for us , most asian noodles are made from rice well not all, here is an exact list -->  (noodles) so we could possible be spoilt for choice such as Kway Teow/ Bee Tai Mak/Mee Tai Mak/ Laksa Noodles / Mee Sua/ Bee hoon / Vietnamese Rice Noodles! 

I love the Bee hoon because its brainless, just add water and let it soak, easier than finding a boyfriend these days and also i consider it much healtheir option than the rest because its so thin.

Picture
Yes this is basically it.
  • 4-6 eggs up to you
  • cabbage 
  • bean spout
  • prawns
  • bak choy
  • bee hoon 

Picture
Make a massive omelette and chop them up like this ! 

Proceed to chucking everything in a pan with some olive oil ! 
Picture
So if u like it spicy add some chill with it else just throw whatever sauce you can find in your fridge,i went for dark soya sauce, fish oil and sesame oil , honestly don't ask me why.. they just happen to be in my fridge, throw the noodles in and give it a good stir and done! 10 MIN

How is May coming to an end?

I am now 28! I still choose not to believe it (btw) and age is merely a number, it doesn’t stop me from doing anything besides of course crazy stuff like; last week I wanted to take my rollerblade and go down a massive ramp but thought twice as I do not intend to break anything.
 
Isn’t it weird that the older you get the more you fear being injured. There’s to much consequences having a boo-boo like lost of earning and also all the things you can’t do when your gammy, trust me I broke my hand and realized it’s importance when I had to get someone to tie my shoelaces or my hair. Oh yeah taking out a wet sport bra with a broken arm is a mission, a lot of visualization involve and planning if the head or the arm gets out first and continuous jumping on the spot like an idiot. Oh well, that didn’t stopped me as I was at work the next day with an hourly supply of ibuprofen.

Sam got me a pair of pet shrimps : 9

Sam's birthday and mine is exactly a week apart and there's lots of cake and food between that 7 day ! I am not complaining.

Picture
Two of my lazy breakfast ideas.
1)gluten free bread eggs cheese and avocado 
2) soy milk papaya banana pumpkin seed and honey!
Michael dropped by over the weekend so Sam got some man time besides just staying at home with me and singing Disney : )
Picture
Picture
Was invited by ASICS for a staycation at the new WAREHOUSE HOTEL for 2 day of activities with a bunch of ladies! One of the best time ever and also the food, was so good and yes TANYA POPPETT IS LEGIT ! Being a person trainer I'm very fussy of my exercise program and trust me it was no walk in the park with Tanya, purely just training no bullshit like some other fitness program i shall not mention ;) 

Finishing of the night celebrating our win with NZ FLYER! Fall in love with netball all over again with this team and next season is about to start and can't wait to get on court.
Picture
I've lived in Singapore for 20 years now and I haven't paid so much attention to it until recently , such a beaut isn't it!
Picture
My weekend meat treat for the week made by Sam, so glorious. I usually don't eat meat maybe once a week or so or sometimes never but if Sam the chef I'll eat it all! hah 

Back to studying anatomy enough of my life! xx

​Since November I’ve been good with my meat intake. I recalled only eating meat 3 times because there was no vegetable at a party. Unless you consider carrot cake and beer a vegetable ! Nightmare.

 
So what exactly have I been eating? Everything else except meat. I am also celiac therefore I have to avoid gluten excessively. Worst nightmare but I got over it!
 
I’ve been eating more beans, tempeh and soy product for my protein source and hey I survived! Am I vegan ? Nope I just enjoy eating sustainably to save the planet because animal agriculture is the leading cause of global warming and everything else that is destroying the world. It’s my way for repaying the Earth for what it has given me, since I can’t give back I shall stop taking as much. You might not understand why I do this but I don’t need to explain or have a word to describe the way I choose to eat but I’ve never felt better.
 
Do I force my other half to eat like me? Never! His food intake is his choice, when I cook I make sure that everything is wholesome and colourful. 

Picture
One of my favourite food is fried rice, its says it all,  JUST FRY EVERYTHING!
You can cook trust me and you should cook.
Eating cooked food made us human, read here if you don't believe me.

 I recalled being able to blog weekly, this was all before the existence of instagram and social media. I love being able to share my life with people,  the good and also the bad but obviously not all. I’m pretty much an open book and what you see is basically what I am. I have my lows that only the people close to me get to see but I sleep on it and totally forget it the next day. I forgive easily and my mind is like clockworks its always thinking but never really capable of carrying forward an idea long term. I lose focus quite easily which I’m trying to sort myself out currently.
 
Almost missed my flight today, 5 days in Jakarta is enough. I’m not bored I just find the fact that traffic makes my day unproductive, not being able to be outdoor that much makes me lethargic. This week was not to bad I got to do what I wanted but obviously if I had patience I could have done more but sitting in traffic with the car jerking every minute is not the best way to read a book without cursing.
 
I can’t wait to get home to snuggle with Sam, I use to think I can’t live without someone and could never be on my own in another country with without my other half, even if its 2 days apart. I guess I grew up and loved myself more to spend time with myself.
 
All this obviously did not happen overnight, failed relationships, getting hurt and being emotionally abuse, cheated and also cheating on my past relationships made the person I am today. Yes I admit it I’m no petals and bubbles but I choose me and I choose to accept my flaw and love it all, but obviously I wouldn’t be cheating anymore because I’ve learn to respect myself and my other half.
 
Have I had issues with my body ? obviously! Else I wouldn’t be where I am today. I have a bulletproof solution to your problem if u do have any issue in life, be it body image, love life, you are bored, what ever issues you can think off! If you don’t like it change it! No one’s going to help you but yourself obviously.
 
In the past 7 years here are some of my changes I made!
 
Did not like staying at home ! so I moved out, and don’t tell me you can’t afford it! If you can’t stand it so much you would have 3 odd job paying for your rented apartment shared by 10 people! Make it work!
 
Did not see the world because my parent could not afford it! I travelled more! I work and travel work and travel and made sure I consistently keep travelling 3-5 countries every year!
 
Did not think I was giving my dog a good life! I was at work all the time and yes I bought him and I was being unfair so I gave him up, you can call me irresponsible but giving him up means he had a chance to have a better life as a dog!
 
Picked up the courage to walk out my 5 years long relationship because I was done being cheated on, not once or twice but way to many times. I only stayed because I was comfortable and stupid.
 
Learning to say no !
 
Learning to say yes!
 
Make it happen, I stopped talking instead I started doing.
 
Well this are just some example what I am trying to say is. If you don’t like it CHANGE.

January over and out 

2/8/2017

0 Comments

 
January went by like the wind, all I could smell was the rain. Boy did it rain a lot or what! Remember the day that it rained for 5 days non stop?
My grandma turned 90 was really nice as I got to see my entire family, which doesn’t happen that often anymore because I guess people grow up and people get busy right? I don’t think I would make it pass 70 before someone push me down the building for talking to much.
Picture
Picture

Started a sprint team with some folks and I’m working my 50 shade of tan every Sunday not sure if I enjoy it or the fact that it feel like I have someone to compete with.
 
I've also been watching a lot of rugby games and understanding the sport a little bit more, its actually quite interesting after 5 bottles of ciders and packets of crisp. Now that I have my camera I get to practice action shots with it! :)
Picture
​Oh yes I've been playing with a lot of babies, definitely not mine. When I was 18 I wanted a football field, now that I’m 28 I don’t think I want anything to come out from me, also stop asking me when I’m going to have kids, maybe in 5-8 years time. On a side note I’ve killed a cactus. 
Picture
Picture
I've been playing a lot of netball and my newly form team won our very first tournament a couple of days back. I never thought I enjoy playing defense but the moreI do I actually enjoy it. Its a lot more focus and I’m not going to lie cycling on the roads in Singapore have made me more focus in netball! Don’t ask me how… 
Picture
So been hanging out with my mom eating more ice cream than I should and also lost so much weight, it was unintentional, it just happened. Will talk more about it soon! 
Picture
Picture
Best news is that Sam is now Head Physio for Singapore Rugby, Yes this kid right here! I watched him grow and always believed that he was special and deserved whatever he have achieve thus far. Proud girlfriend over here!! I don't think I've watch a more over enthusiastic Physio in any rugby games.
OVER AND OUT!

Veggie Curry Quinoa

2/7/2017

​Besides getting a forearm workout from all the chopping and dicing this recipe is a no brainer for those who cant cook. We can’t be just eating instant noodles all our lives can we? Cooking is a skill you develop from burning your eggs to soggy pasta and setting the temperature on Fahrenheit setting instead of Celcius. ( yes it happens )
 
It’s a never ending learning process and cooking for oneself is definitely fulfilling to me, as you can tell I’m a feeder. :)
 
Its weird I never really enchanced my food with curry flavor, but I had a taste of what my boss’s made for herself which was a simple egg and mayonnaise sandwich that’s was yellow and I asked her what’s wrong with her eggs and she said she added curry to it! GENIUS. 
Picture
Picture
MAIN INGREDIENTS
1 cup of quinoa 
1 big stalk of brocolli
1 tray of mushroom
1 bell pepper 
1 white onion (use any onion you fancy)
2 TOFU
as much frozen vegetable you fancy
1 can of chickpeas
curry powder
pepper 
1 vegetable stock or any stock u can find!
Picture

Follow the instruction with the quinoa and then add the mushroom and brocolli.
Picture

ADD EVERYTHING ELSE! 
curry powder, stock, some pepper and stir!!
Picture
THROW IN A LOT OF SPRING ONION JUST BECAUSE. 
SERVE ! 
​HOW EASY!

Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo | Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence & Micro-sculpting Cream

12/7/2016

0 Comments

 
​Who would have thought that my skin would benefit from an anti-aging skincare product until I gave it a go! I've always been in denial that I have firm, wrinkle free skin. I am still young but the conditions I put my skin through, being under the harsh sun and air-conditioned rooms does take its toll, even at 27.
 
There are times that I forget sun protection or forget that my hand is full of dirt and just wipe the sweat of my face. I don’t enjoy using make up to conceal all my imperfections and try to keep it minimalistic due to my job. So having healthy and glowing skin is a must! Why would anyone would want a fitness trainer with an amazing body but bad complexion! Exercise is supposed to give you an overall benefit, which includes healthy skin.
 
For healthier youthful skin with the help of skin care product, nutrition and looking after our health is just as important. Cutting out processed food and products with added sugar would definitely improve the conditioning of your skin.
 
For outer skin beauty, I put the Olay Miracle Duo through a 3-week test. The Olay Renegerist Miracle Duo consists of the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence and the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream. This test is to see what the benefits Miracle Duo would bring. I’m not even making this up, but every morning I have woken up loving my skin more and more! I took all the photos in the same location to make sure it was fair. 
Picture
​This is me outdoor in the sun sweating buckets no makeup on and still feel confidence of how Olay have transformed my skin within such a short period of time and the texture of my skin have improve tremendously with the help of the Miracle Duo.
 
​Each photo is a week apart, all without make up, fresh from the bed and clearly I’ve not made any effort to wash my face, but you can still notice the difference from each single week. 
Picture
​Photo below is taken with light make up (Olay Miracle Duo, sun block, eyeliner, mascara and cheek and lip stain). With this, I feel that my skin is tighter, even when I frown (I’m very expressive when I speak) and I found less smile wrinkles/lines on my face. My make up also absorbs much better than before and gives my skin a healthier glow. I’m such a convert to Olay now! I never thought that they would have such amazing products! I am still applying it every day and night as the benefits to my skin continue to show! 
Picture

Here’s how it works!

​The Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence combines with the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream to form a powerful combination called the Miracle Duo! The 1st drop alone starts to renewal million cells for your skin. Used together, they have 2x more anti-aging actives that penetrate efficiently and in 4 weeks’ time I guarantee your skin will look 10 years younger just like mine.
Picture
I am glad I gave Olay Miracle duo a try and it’s such a simple routine that I am able to stick with it since I’m always rushing. I can’t wait to hear about your experience once you have tried it yourself; it’s truly a Miracle!
 
Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo can be found at Watsons and Guardian Stores and they are also available at the link below

Clean and Lean FoodSpiration

Four weeks ago I was trying out a bikini at Seafolly and I turn around and flaunt my behind and Jesus I've never been so flabby in my life. I couldn't even flex my bum and no matter how i turn and angle my body my glutes weren't as taut as they once were. I blame myself from skipping workout and also giving excuses to eating an entire bar of chocolate at night before bed and Lululemon can't help me there with making my bum as perky as they were. I am obsessed with maintaining a certain standard of my glutes as they were once flat like a pancake. 

Sam and I may look fit with a shirt on but i swear we looked better once with our shirt off. Stress, work, lack of time , discipline and bad eating choices took a turn for us but hey it happens! That how things get better when we said yes to UFIT CLEAN AND LEAN PROGRAM, Its not a diet, its just making better choices and listening to your body. Having guidance for what we can eat and can't made such a difference. 

I'm so glad that Sam was in it with me,it's always better with your other half supporting your lifestyle and the likes. First week was hard but we were so focus on our health we kept going. Planning food like a clock work made a difference and I love cooking and if you give me a chicken breast i will find 10 difference way to prepare it.  Every thing requires effort, if it means a lot to you then i suggest you learn to make better choices that you can carry forward in life. 

Below are some ideas of what I ate and I'm glad 4 weeks are over, Sam and I feel so much better and our relationship have improve as well because we feel happy about ourselves. :) We are constantly improving on our health, food choices and the EARTH sustainability which i will talk about soon once we have done 2 weeks of Eating Sustainability.

H&M x Clozette Fall Fashion 16

9/29/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
​A couple of weeks back I got invited to be part of H&M x Clozette Fall Fashion lookbook campaign, which I was absolutely excited about. This was my first fashion photo shoot as the previous campaigns I’ve done were all for active wear. I must admit, I do wear active wear out and about on a regular basis just because it’s comfortable and all my friends who happen to be in the fitness industry do the same too. You know what they say about how birds of the same feathers flock together!
When I’m going out for a party, I do put in some effort to dress up. I love floral prints and flowy tops so that I feel cool throughout the night when I’m dancing. I tend to stick to fall colors when I shop as well. Warm colors match my ever-changing tanned skin as compared to cooler colors. I can vouch that all of these colors highlight my skin tone and accentuate my facial structure more so than others. Or perhaps, I fancy these colors more, so I could be biased!
Here are some shades to play and highlight your wardrobe with some Fall colours. 
Picture
Picture
​So how was this photo shoot a little different than others?

H&M’s Fall Fashion campaign #Ladylike is basically what defines me as a woman. I've always been different and felt out of place growing up. Therefore, I’ve always picked the rough side, hung out with boys, rolled in dirt and dedicated a lot of time to sports. However, I’ve never felt like I wasn’t lady-like, I was embracing my strength as an individual. As quoted from my favorite fashionista, Coco Chanel, “In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different”.

Working with a team of professionals that helped put my outfit together made me realize that there’s no right or wrong in fashion! The photo below is one of my favorite looks, something I would wear for a day out shopping at Orchard Road. Just look at how the floral kimono compliments a simple black t-shirt and denim shorts. I love how it just spiced up a basic outfit. 

Picture
​Having a floral kimono of a different material compared to my outfit gave the impression of a more feminine touch altogether. A darker tone of bodacious colour for my bag completed my entire look while balancing my look that helped me look a little more sophisticated. 
Picture
Picture
​My second look was more dramatic and edgy, I’m not sure if I can walk around without dropping the jacket every two minutes but draping it over the shoulders gives it a classier twist to an effortless dress. Sunglasses checked! Killer shoes checked! I've ever imagined wearing a scarf like that around my neck but it makes my outfit pop out even more with the vibrancy of the colour.

Picture
Picture
​Beside the 2 looks allocated to me by Clozette, I've also gotten a chance to style my own take using the Fall Collection items on a mannequin! H&M Fall Collection is so versatile, wearable at the same time comfortable. From my 2 allocated looks, they were very different but both embody the tough chick that I am. I’ve always liked watching retail stores transform a mannequin’s outfit from one to another and never in my wildest dreams would I think that I would have the chance to do it myself. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
​My favourite fashion trend at the moment is tucking in any top or blouse to my denim shorts or skirt.  I loved the button details on this dark blue denim skirt so I threw a white button down top over it for contrast. Sunglasses and headbands are a definite must for this season so I added them to complete the look!

Now it’s your turn to share with me some of your favorite look on what you define as #ladylike.I can’t wait to see your interpretations!
H&M’s Fall Collection is now in stores! Stand up for the diversity of women and you may be one of 3 lucky winners to get a $200 H&M gift card. Simply post an OOTD on your Instagram with the caption: I am #Ladylike because…
