So, I’ve been somewhat obsessed or okay perhaps interested is a better word, in doing inversions this year. Be it a handstand or a headstand, I have been fairly determined to achieve a state of balance while in an upside down position. I am also quite convinced that doing more of these will help to give me abs. Haha crazy I know, but it just seems … Continue reading Living Life Upside Down
I never really liked salads before. The idea of eating a bunch of green, healthy tasting stuff was not particularly appealing to me. Only when I decided that I must try to lose some weight/fat and get leaner/more muscular, that I began eating salads 2 to 3 times a week, sometimes more or less, depending on how soon a salsa performance was coming up. And … Continue reading The Daily Cut | Knows How to Serve A Satisfying Salad
I love receiving parcels. The anticipation of something new, the thrill of having it in your hands and tearing open (or lovingly unwrapping, if you prefer) the packaging to reveal what is within, is quite a unique experience. So when my first Boxgreen arrived, I was all abound with excitement – not knowing what this little brown box would yield. Boxgreen aims to be a one-stop … Continue reading Boxgreen, Wholesome Snacks Delivered to Your Doorstep
It’s somewhat puzzling to me, that when I tell people I dance salsa, the first response I almost always get is ‘Oh, so do you take part in competitions?’. And the answer I give is also almost always the same – no, not really – maybe sometimes, but mostly I just dance for fun at socials or parties, or do performances. I guess that’s the … Continue reading The Magic of Salsa Social Dancing
So, I would like to share a bit about my travel experience in Sa Pa earlier this year. About 7 months ago I decided to take a trip, and it was one of those ‘I-want-to-go-somewhere-anywhere’ sort of thing. I asked a friend working in Vietnam if she wanted to go on a holiday with me, and she suggested Sa Pa. Before that, I had never heard of … Continue reading Strikingly Beautiful, Sa Pa Charms
Hello folks! Here is a little interim update on my little two week commitment to eating somewhat healthily (as best I can while eating out). So far, I’ve managed to resist the temptations of ice cream, bak kwa, chocolate, croissants and more over the last 9 days, but I think I’ve really not been eating as clean as I could have. Mainly because of the sauces … Continue reading An Update On My Personal Clean(ish) Eating Challenge
So after a lovely long weekend of feasting, I have decided to undertake a personal clean(ish) food challenge for a period of about 2 weeks from tomorrow 12 August to the night of 24 August, till the 2nd anniversary party of Mosaic Dance on that Saturday, where I will be performing. This is an attempt to call out those kind-of-there-but-not-quite-yet abs of mine, to look … Continue reading A Clean(ish) Eating Food Challenge

I love food. I really do. And if you’ve been following my posts, you’d probably have realised that by now as well. But how does one eat all this glorious food without… well, expanding? That’s a challenge I constantly struggle with. As a young girl, I really disliked exercising. At 15 years old, I weighed a fairly hefty 57kg and ran 2.4km in a pathetic … Continue reading Food, Fitness and Travel
