Sunday Gymless butt day & Monday Core day

Hi Fluffies,

On Sunday's I'm supposed to gym to build my butt. The sore throat and flu just wouldn't go away >.< 
However, I did some low impact butt workouts. Here's what I did:

1. Victoria's secret Angel booty:

2. Tracey mallet firm butt workout:

3. 5 Best Butt exercises to lift that booty: 

4. Thigh Trimmer & Butt Lifter:
You might have noticed that I've been trying to incorporate this video into my workouts. I have to say this is probably one of my top favourite videos from blogilates :)


Come monday, Still not that much better. But I did a set of core workouts which aren't too strenuous.. For me at least lol.

1. POP Pilates Body Slimming workout

2. WHOA WHOA!! Whole body Workout:

3. Beautiful Body Pilates workout:

4. The Ultimate Hot body workout:

5. Lean Body sculpt video, exclusive to the blogilates app. It was basically 4 main workout moves, targetting the triceps, glutes, a little bit of thighs and obliques.

Cardio Saturday & Sunday Bunday

Hello fluffiess.

It's Sunday!
And Sunday is gym day for my butt! But it wasn't much of a workout for my butt. I think I should better plan my time spent at the gym. 

No cardio today... Because.... I got lazy lol.
1. Squats with 20kg weights each side with 15kg barbell:
  • 2 sets of 10 reps
    Squats with 15kg weights each side with 15kg barbell:
  • 1 sets of 10 reps
    Squats with 17.5kg weights each side with 15kg barbell:
  • 1 sets of 8 reps
Suddenly, squats seem soooo tiring to me. :(
2. Walking lunges with 2.5kg weights each side with 10kg barbell with my arms raised:
  • 4 sets of 12 steps
3. Hamstring extensions with 4kg weight:
  • 4 sets of 8 reps
4. Quad extensions with 4kg weight (I hate these):
  • 4 sets of 8 reps
5. Seated Calves raises with 20kg weight:
  • 4 sets of 10 reps
That was it... I totally forgot about dead lifts oh man.. but my butt is hurting a little from the squats tho!

Met up with my babe earlier today for a day out to shop at the garden flea market at Triple One somerset. Our main intention was to go there and stuff ourselves with cake from Cupplets. But there wasn't any left when we got there! :'{ BOOHOOOOO 

But we eventually got our dessert fix from Domani restaurant cafe. However, the desserts were from Rive Gauche.

Mine was the mango mousse cake and Joyce's was cheesecake with biscuit crumbles. They were pretty good~! Although I still find khairul's souffle sponge cake is better.

Anyway, I did not update yesterday's workout because I just wasn't in the mood. So I'm gonna put it in today's post.
1. Ultimate Hiit Workout:
Can I say I'm a little disappointed? I thought it would be more intense just because it's Cynthia. This workout just wasn't that good..
2. Heartbeat Heaven Hiit workout:

3. POP pilates: Pick me up:

4. The Ultimate Hot Body workout:

I like putting weights onto my hips for the bridges. 

This is one of the best things that happen to me. I'm in love with cats and furry animals in general. Here's a good shot of me and woowoo.

Amazing Thailand, Amazing Krabi, Amazing Company Part One

Helloo fluffies,

Its been.. more than a week. I just got home this afternoon after spending a wonderful week in Krabi. Wasn't exactly off the grid but pretty much most of the time and I really appreciate the moments when I could see the world without instant access to the web.

I decided to do this post instead of heading straight to bed because I'm feeling too awake right now from stressing about some personal development issues at the moment. Hopefully after doing this post, I'll feel a little bit better.

Day One:

Onward to Krabi!
 I've never been on a budget airline before so it was a really amusing experience for me because I have never seen adverts in a plane before. Kinda reminds me of how buses are too.


The mandatory pic of my plane among the clouds :)


After we landed, we had to buy tickets to get on a bus which will bring us to the place which we would be staying for the next 6 nights, Ao Nang Beach.

After reaching, we simply put down our stuffs and took a stroll along the street, looking for dinner because we were really hungry. Unfortunately, due to lack of pre-empting the dinner crowd, we ended up waiting nearly an hour for our pad thai and fried rice at E-san Seafood restaurant. We didn't even manage to eat our mango salad because it was too long a wait. The auntie doing the cooking was really nice tho and the food was good, albeit a tad too oily to be on the healthy side but hey, anything with enough oil and sugar tastes good.

Day 2: 
White water rafting & elephant trekking

We officially kicked start our adventure by leaving the hotel by 8am to go for white water rafting and elephant trekking. It was a full day thing so a buffet lunch was served. Rafting was really fun and I enjoyed it alot.


  I can't say the same for the elephant trekking. It is heart breaking to see the elephant tamers using sharp hammers to control the elephants. I would not recomment elephant trekking to anyone. Especially not from 'Island Safari' tours. Like seriously, just stay the hell away from this tour planner when it comes to elephant trekking. Our 30minute ride ended up as a sad and short little stroll within a zoo-like compound. Monkeys were made to do tricks continuously and some of the baby elephants look like they've gone mad whenever loud electronic music is played. I'm pretty sure that there are more ethical elephant trekking tours out there as I've seen the elephants roam the forests.




Beware of the crazy green chilli in the Som Tum. I nearly died because it was SO SPICY.

The very awesome thai pancake. but not so awesome combination choice on our part. This is pineapple pancake and it tastes kinda weird. 

Day 3:
Kayaking in Ao Thalane
Breakfast at an Italian restaurant. Bad decision. Overpriced for a measly portion of food.

The prettier part of the beach is filled with make shift massage parlors. Not the sleazy kind though.. Or maybe they were but it looked very open.



On our way back to the hotel, we decided to try the Pad thai from one of the road side stalls. It was really tasty!

We did an afternoon of kayaking in Ao Thalane, amongst mangroves. It was a really eye opening experience. Though t wasn't fun sitting in murky looking waters with suspicious looking bubbles, I had lots of fun trying to kayak my way through narrow spaces. over underwater roots, ducking under the branches etc.




For dinner, we just kept walking along the streets and eating random food along the way.

We had a mango pancake topped with chocolate syrup. This one is definitely a better choice of combination.

Day 4:
Exploring markets after renting a bike. We love markets. I feel it is a very good way of looking at how the locals live and I love watching them and see what they buy. And because it was really just an adventure, we don't even know the names of the markets that we've stopped at :/

Paid a visit to the roadside foodstall auntie again. My boyfriend had this fried pork with rice while I had an omelette.

I believe alot of their desserts looks and tastes quite familiar to us because Krabi has a very large muslim community and they look just like malays. 






These bunnies were sooo cute but too bad I can't buy them home :(



We pretty much settled out lunch there and stopped by Tesco to check out their local supermarket. But the greatest thing that we discovered was Southern Coffee. As you can see, my man's looking pretty gleeful.

On our way back to the hotel, we discovered another market!

WEEKEND workout logs!

Hellooo Fluffies,

It's Monday morning 12:50am. The world cup final is gonna start in about 2hrs and 10mins. But I'm going to sleep right after this post!

My boyfriend is finally back in my arms! I was really really happy to see him and he got me so much Finnish chocolates and cocoa powder because he knows that I have a crazy soft spot for chocolates. Like literally, when I smell it, or taste a good one, my knees go weak.

But of course, the gem of the lot, amongst the bunch of gifts, is this really really beautiful spectrolite gem encased with silver. This is really good news because my skin is sensitive to metals like brass, copper etc. It being a stable metal just means that I can wear it with a piece of mind :)

Isn't it beautiful? 


This precious little bracelet was thrifted at a flea market in Finland. It only costs 1Euro!! LOLWHAT?

Oh and he got Sporks for us. As a couple, we pack our food, lunches or dinner, it depends. So we like to look at cool lunch boxes and utensils from time to time. Hehe, now I have cool Sporks to use for my home packed meals haha.

Because it was a long tiring day, I could not find the energy to update my blog.. It is that troublesome time of the month again and I always seem to lose all my energy and feel like I can eat everything despite feeling not that hungry. If I'm unlucky, sometimes it would begin with an epic day long sneezing fit. :(

Anyway here is my workout for Saturday:

1. Bubble Butt (clenching my Booty) workout 
2. Butt on Fire Pop pilates
3. Perky Butt 'n' Long lean legs
4. Spring Fling 1: Toning workout
5. Food baby HIIT workout

And here is my Sunday workout. Unfortunately I skipped gym today for a family lunch at Tien Court. Never fails to disappoint. Oh well. Imma work it off with anyway!

1. Butt on Fire POP pilates:
 

2. Skinny Leggings workout

3. Build a better booty (Using resistance band)


This was good. But didn't hurt as much as I expected.

4. Perfect legs workout:

5. Hips Butt & Thighs Super shaper workout:
