Belated wednesday log + Thursday Cardio Core!

Hi Fluffies,

May I just begin with some whining? 

I've been sneezing ALL DAY. My nose is RAW. And I developed some weird rashes on my eyelids after taking this breakfast popsicle selfie. I sooo had to pose with it because its blueberries baby.

Posing with my blueberry popsicle for breakfast haha

I decided to press on and do my workout for the day anyway despite constantly having to wipe my snot :s but my experiences with doing my workouts while having flu or allergies have always been better than expected. Many times, I find myself feel even better after working out.

Wednesday's workout was simple. It was all of blogilates' calendar's workout for Upper Bod wednesday. 

1. Bikini Blaster 4: Awesomesauce Arms

2. Bikini Blaster 7: Bodacious back and sleek shoulders

3. Toned Arms & Sculpted Back

4. Pop pilates: Back attack

I changed up Thursday's cardio core routine as I thought it was too little cardio:

1.  XHIT- Selena Gomez Full Body workout:

2. Heart on Fire POP Cardio:

3. Abs on Fire:

4. POP Kicks: Total Body Cardio Kickboxing workout:

5. 5 Best exercises to flatten your lower belly:

6. What Makes you BOOTYFUL butt challenge:

Of course, how can I possibly forget to add in a little bit of butt work :)

Anyway check this out, how cute is this mini potter garden! My friend got me this as my belated birthday present and I really really love it :)

Happy Thursday everyone :)

Sundays are BUTT days!

Hi Fluffies!

Today is a Sunday and my Sundays are usually kicked off with a legs and butts session at the gym.

Here's what I did for my gym session today:

1. Squats with 20kg weights each side with 10kg barbell:

• 3 sets of 12 reps

2. Seated squats with 10kg weights each side with 10kg barbell:

• 3 sets of 12 reps

3. Walking Lunges:

• 4 sets of approximately 12 steps

4. Hamstring resistance band workout (unfortunately I am not very sure what is the level of intensity of the resistance band, but we did increase the resistance by coiling it a few times):

• 3 sets of 15reps each side.

5. Leg extensions with 4kg:

• 3 sets of 12 reps

6. Hamstring extensions with 4kg:

• 3 sets of 12 reps

7. Deadlifts with progressive kettlebell weights. 12kg, 16kg, 20kg and 20kg:

• 4 sets of 12 reps

8. Hyperextensions:

• 4 sets of 12 reps

After which, it was picnic time at botanic gardens for the evening with Joyce!

Photo taken by Joyce, very pretty isnt it!

 We were here at the symphony lake for a mini chopin piano concert. Thank god it stopped raining in the noon and the weather wasn't too hot.

I made gluten-free okonomiyaki for the picnic and brought along some lychees and an apple which i ended up bringing home because we couldn't finish our food. Joyce's spinach and cheese sandwiches were really good and I loved her honeyed walnuts and raisins dessert <3

Yum Tums :)

And cute toddlers!

It was a really good catch up and lazing session with my babe haha :) 

Belated log post

Hi fluffies, (Extremely long post ahead)

My initial plan to post on my birthday failed pretty badly. It's 28th now. Gahh. I tried to post the previous night and on the night of my birthday but both times, I ended up sleep-typing. I have a tendency to sleep on whatever I'm doing.. Like one time, I subconsciously drew a teddy bear while rushing to finish a war scene of  the Indian epic-Ramayana. Pretty crazy huh.

First off, here's my fitness routine log for yesterday: 

The supposedly world's fastest workout. The Tabata workout. Although the whole idea is to work as hard as possible during this workout, I've only ever really hit the seeing-stars-and-nauseating effect a few times. I usually go for longer workouts but because I was pressed for time, I did one set of this.

I like to use this timer for my tabata workouts because it is really loud and clear. You can also customise your ideal length of tabata workout!

The 4 exercise moves featured in this poster are:
1. Squat thrust
2. Mountain climbers
3. High knees
4. Jumping jacks

By the end of it, i was out of breath but strangely, not sweating much. Guess the weather was great today haha.

Onward to my birthday celebration! To sum it up, here are the pictures :)

Wheelers' Yard was marked the beginning of my birthday celebrations this year!

It was a celebration for the June babies :) Happy Birthday Sab :)

Grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus, it was good!

This is a souffle sponge cake with lemon curd. If I could just attach a sample of this cake onto this blog for you, I totally would because this is seriously one of the best cakes I have ever had! 

My friend Khairul has some sick talent in the culinary aspect.

The second celebration started at 12am on my birthday. My boyfriend's first surprise was appearing at my doorstep with my favourite cake and presents! Although the best present was really him appearing at my doorstep and planning a whole day out for me and coordinating with my closest friends to give me surprise after surprise :) Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who always forget to take pictures at the right moments... I destroyed my cake before i took a picture :(

We went downstairs to light up the sparkling candles and played with cats 

 The second surprise was SEAN. Who turned up at Vivo to spend the day at the beach with us because when the 3 of us come together, that's how we roll!

Dinner at Craft cafe after meeting my 3rd surprise for the day: JOYCE

My babe got me 18pieces of macarons. MUAHAHAHAAA

A very lovely snow white themed present, with a handwritten storybook from my babe. How sweet :) <3 

The third celebration was with SUSUTONG. We wanted to go to Supply&demand for dinner but ended up heading to Tanuki Raw for martinis and raw seafood first to wait for seatings at Supply&demand.

Had a few sips of lychee martini and apple martini today after a really long abstinence from alcohol. The intoxicating feels of alcohol, man it's been a while my friend.

Shucking oysters at Tanuki Raw was part of the deal last night

Onward to Supply&Demand! The food definitely did not disappoint!

Yuzu dessert named Chloe from Antoinette from the gang 

Heres to 5(and counting) years of friendship :)
