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. ![]() Follow the instruction with the quinoa and then add the mushroom and brocolli. ![]() ADD EVERYTHING ELSE! curry powder, stock, some pepper and stir!! THROW IN A LOT OF SPRING ONION JUST BECAUSE.
SERVE ! HOW EASY!

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. 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. 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! 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. 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 http://www.lazada.sg/olay-official-store/?0 Don’t forget to check out my HWP Article here #OlaySingapore #BestBeautiful #MiracleDuo 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.

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. ![]() 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. 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. ![]() 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. 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. 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!

Can't believe it took me that long to make my way to Perth which happens to be only 4.5 hours away from Singapore and guess what ! It share the same time zone therefore no jet leg yay! Sam's on a course and he asked me to come along. Great idea hey! We stayed at Hay Street ( Holiday Inn) which was at the centre of everything! Met up with Ben from RP since he live there now. OH GLORIOUS GLUTEN FREE CAKE ,,, YOU TASTE AMAZING BUT BAD FOR ME BUT I ATE YOU ANYWAYS... EVEN THE NON GLUTEN FREE ONE... URGH
Sam said i shouldn't buy beef at supermarket because they are crap and also cost like a billion dollar, so my angmo (caucasian ) boyfriend brought me to Tekka Market for my very first time. It actually didn't not smell as bad as I imagined it to be. I've been living in Singapore since i was 7 and its probably my first time I've visited a wet market, I know I sound like a brat! I love cold storage and all their pretty packed produce in there and the aircon that feels like I'm walking in Narnia in there. All the uncles and aunties at Tekka were friendly or maybe my shorts was tiny! If you are in Tekka you need to get your meat from JOE BUTCHERY because Sam said so and the chicken opposite it! Don't ask why. Went through Jamie Oliver cook book and decided that I'm gonna eat beef today and make Chilli Con Carne. I probably only eat beef once in a very blue moon, never really fancied the taste. I got tired chopping and dicing and left it to simmer while i squeeze a quick sprint session in, I've been really lazy to train. Currently my weekly routine look something like this or so.. Monday- 6 sets of 30 second sprint on the treadmill + Nike Training Leg workout Tuesday-GYM session ( LEGS AND SHOULDER ) + Stretch ( Netball training if i have any) Wednesday 6 sets 30 second sprint (slower than monday) +Nike Training Abs and Legs workout ( Netball Match if i have any) Thursday- Rest & Stretch Friday - Gym Deadlift + Shoulder and Abs ( Netball ) Saturday -Pull ups + 5 sets of Sprints + Stretch Sunday - Rest I think I've found my calling in LUGE-ing, I'm not even gonna be humble I'm ace at it, I was going down hill and turning corners like I've practice all my life.... <3 <3 <3
I can only eat bananas when they are covered in chocolate or baked as a cake or both! I simply don't enjoy banana in its naturally state they taste weird. I would do anything to avoid eating fruits if I could. So this is what happens when you have way to many bananas sitting in the fridge..you make everyone fat! No one believes this but my housemates but I EAT CHOCOLATE EVERYDAY! I will find ways to get them in all of my food, currently I'm having oats , milk and 3 table spoon of chocolate ..why not !! There's this really cheap bar called GONG at Circular Road and you basically could afford a decent lunch or dinner at 10 dollars for fish and chip or chicken. ![]() Since when did Netball became a contact sport! Also the stupid facial lady that tried to get squeeze it so hard when I told her i got hit just made it worst. Muchachos at Keong Siak is one of my to go places for easy mexican food in Singapore, Sam would get his usually philly burrito and sadly I can only eat a chicken bowl, for $12 i barely can finish this sometimes. We would usually cycle there because its so close to Tanjong Pagar and I love sitting by all the old shop houses that's revamp into cool Instagram worthy eatery. Yes everyone takes photo of their food, sometimes I think we only eat or travel to eat for Instagram. There's plenty of options being Celiac for food, I am sure I would fail the cross contamination test but I can't cook always and no way am I gonna eat a salad and die everyday . I Love a good old paper dosa from an Indian restaurant, its basically rice crisp.. or the usually Yong Tau Foo from a Chinese stall that you can select what you want. Was invited for the opening of #SHINEFESTIVAL 2016 along orchard road , I'm glad its back again this year! How many new Gym can you name? Well a recent one that just opened close to Orchard (20 Devonshire Road, Singapore 239850) happens to be so green and fully equipped with everything you can imagine my best friend happens to work there! They got watt bikes, recovery area all this fancy big squat rack that you can do more than just squat. You know when you bring a kid to a candy store? I am that kid in a gym, don't ask why but a lot of gym have been my second home and meet a lot of amazing people with muscles on their shoulders, I still don't know why we need muscles on our shoulder like that. haha This was before i snipped of my hair and watching AVERY turn 1! Honestly I get so broody when I see kids but I know at this moment I can't tolerate them or let alone afford them. Also if you happen to go to toys R Us check out the price of Nemo soft toy! $69!!!! You could buy Salmon from the wet market to eat for the entire week with that money! geez what are toys made of. What do you think of me trying to look 16 again! Weirdly when i was 16 I was trying to look 26. Now if you happen to walk pass a statue of lions outside of a mall or hotel what do you do ? Well most people they are on their phones anyways so I guess you didn't even notice a lion! But Jesus look at it, maybe I'm a child but it has a penis! xx
The W Hotel spoiled me silly on a #RetoxDetoxRepeat media invite. Wasn't expecting to have alcohol in every meal but i actually did. I had more champagne than my required 6 litres of water for my body everyday but I am not complaining. Sam took the liberty to crash in my room as i sailed away with the rest of the girls to the nearby Island and watch the sunset on a lovely evening. I couldn't get enough of every dessert put together so obviously i had more than one, I was horrible , i knew i had to stay away from gluten but i ate everything anyways. Did i mention buffet ? Seafood from the Heart by Peter Kuruvita was exceptional. If you would let me eat one source of protein for the rest of my life i would go with seafood. Peter talked about how some seafood are more sustainable than the others and its good to know that most of the dishes we had that night came from a sustainable source,therefore our future generation could enjoy them in time to come. Can't keep eating now can we! Woke up at 8am for Strala yoga by the pool. Followed by a quickie massage that i wished wasn't so quick! Guess where we had breakfast? The Extreme WOW Suite speaks for itself, it's interior is definitely extreme and If i was rich enough say 13k per night rich i would be sleeping in this giant sink bathub.. but for now I can only dream. This Coconut Mango desserts are to die for! Truth is i ate 7 of this babies. Unwinding with a couple of coctail at the WOOBAR the night before for TGIF. Unbelievable experience! W hotel you got me sold.Don't forget to #DETOXREPEATREPEAT
Believe me when I discovered I had celiac, I could have cried as i mourn the loss or not having gluten in my life. Pizza, cupcakes, tarts, pies , puddings and bread everything I love is pretty much made up of gluten .I felt sorry for myself, even received an obituary card that my life has officially ended. I had such a bad relationship with food that i was lying to myself and stuffing my face with cereals or a cake in hiding and always told myself no more gluten tomorrow onwards. Ya right, like that's going to happen.
Obviously this had to end since i'm just destroying my intestine and also my rashes was getting out of hand. A week before that i was misdiagnose for my rashes to be herpes simplex but I didn't believe it and got more test done. In fact i was having dermatitis herpetiformis. They do look familiar below but of cause the issue i was having with my skin is : Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a rare but persistent immunobullous disease that has been linked to coeliac disease (American spelling celiac), a gluten-sensitive enteropathy. I know it's so disgusting i hope you had dinner! So where was I ? Oh yes eating gluten is pretty much killing me and guess that i do need to alter my lifestyle just a little bit more. Don't worry i don't have any more rashes after two week of giving up gluten and probably even lost some weight from all the cookies i can't eat! Bless them . When I am out and have to make choice on my food I pick anything without gluten or would tell the staff to skip the bread, is it okay? Honestly not because I risk being contaminated from other food that contains gluten but I guess thats the choice i have to make and i definitely prefer cooking at home. Sam on the other hand love bread and i guess I would trade bread for chocolate for now until I learn how to bake gluten free bread that don't taste like cardboard. Any Celiac out there? How did you discover this amazing disease that is way more horrible than chicken pox? |
