<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Most polite people around me said they weren’t able to see much difference but trust me, I gained it.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, I went about trying to lose it.
I used to do pump on Tuesday, yoga on Thursday, my own workout on Saturday and a run on Sunday of about 3-5km. I also embarked on eating clean and would make my own salads in office almost daily. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also drank my water w lemon, added chia seeds to my oatmeal and did everything I’ve read about which said I would lose my weight. Sadly, I didn’t. Not even 0.5kg. BUT, never give up was my belief! I couldn’t just STAY fat right? SO, I decided I was doing something wrong. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I changed my regime to my own 1.5hr workout in the gym on Tuesdays, spin on Wednesday, yoga on Thursday, Spin on Friday, gym/bikram on Saturdays and 5km run on Sundays! And it worked! I’ve lost 3kg in a span of a month! </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So anyway, before I get too carried away, what I’m trying to say here is there is no fixed schedule for every person. Everyone’s body responds differently to different exercises. I tried many different combinations and finally found the one that worked, so never give up. Just keep trying and you will find the combination that works for you! </span><br />

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 36pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a lovely sunshiney day and we were all smiles as we took the day off from work and had the pleasure of attending such an awesome event.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I was young, although my mother being Irish, strongly believed in BRANDS essence of chicken to replenish my strength after being sick and for exams time to keep up my strength. Although I never really liked the taste, I knew it was good. I guess the best proof of its effectiveness came when I took<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>my O levels. Before each paper, I would gulp a bottle of chicken essence right before entering the hall. I did really well and I attributed a part of that to my essence of chicken, it seemed to make me more alert and better able to remember all that I’d mugged. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anyway, over the years, BRANDS came up with more and more products and the next one I began taking was the Birds Nest. Its really convenient as it comes in a bottle and all you had to do was snap the bottle open, no boiling, cleaning and washing up necessary! <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Back to the event, the event was for BRANDS new product, Ruby Collagen. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The event was held at the outside area and the food was by Dolce Vita. I had the fish and it was amazing! Im definitely gonna return to Dolce Vita for my next occasion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Juanita Simon hosted the event and she’s still so beautiful after so many years. She used to be my idol when I was younger cos I felt I could relate to her with her being Pan Asian and being so tall. (Yes, I had issues accepting my height when I was younger)</span></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I know of a lot of people who have been working out regularly but still don’t see any results no matter how hard they try.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reason for this could be one of many, your body could be too used to the type of exercise you’re doing e.g. running or your nutrition is all wrong.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve always had a very strong interest in health and nutrition and am always reading up and talking to people who are experts in this matter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, I’d like to summarise everything I’ve learnt and hopefully, this will help you guys in one way or another.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">1.Exercise before breakfast<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b><span style="color: #ff33cc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know that this is relatively hard to do as waking up even 5 minutes earlier than you need to in the morning is a real chore. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, it is actually the best time to exercise and also the time where the body burns the most amount of fat. The reason for this is because, when you exercise before breakfast, your stomach is empty, your body only has the excess fat to burn and not the food that hasn’t been digested which happens when you exercise perhaps at lunch. What you’re burning is probably your breakfast and it’s unlikely that the excess fat will get a hit at all. Try sleeping an hour earlier so you can get up an hour earlier and maximise your workout!<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #ff33cc;">2.Eat the right foods<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b><span style="color: #ff33cc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel a lot of people don’t have the right knowledge about food. Most would think that eating wheat bread is healthy; in fact this is not true. Wheat is processed flour and is hard to digest which in turn causes bloating. An example of wheat bread would be the Sunshine Softmeal bread, while it is of course better than eating white bread, you should still opt only for whole GRAIN bread. If possible, try substituting everything to whole grain foods; pasta, rice, noodles. It also keeps you full for a longer period of time resulting in you eating less. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Another excellent type of food, and which I notice more are starting to take is flax seeds. They actually lower body fat and are very high in fibre which, like whole grains, keep you full for longer and aid in digestion. Flax seeds are usually eaten in cereal and oats. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next would be berries. As we all know, all berries contain high levels of antioxidants and are extremely good for our health. Further studies have shown that, in particular, red and blue colored berries are the most effective in burning fat! So, come on go grab them strawberries NOW! </div>

At around 4pm on most days, I find myself getting peckish and I’ve noticed the same with the people around me. A lot resort to buying a slice of cake, grabbing a curry puff, having a bao. These foods are all processed and high in fat. The best thing to snack on and to keep handy in the office would be YOGHURT! Any flavour of yoghurt is fine but make sure to buy low or no fat!</div>

Focusing on just one type of exercise is NOT going to get you the body you want. It’s convenient, but after awhile the results are just gonna plateau. To lose weight and to CONTINUE losing weight, your body needs a combination of cardio and strength training exercise. A lot of girls are under the misconception that weights will make them bulky. Carry light weights, when you use the machines at the gym, set it at 30-50 pounds. Of course, if you lift heavy weights, your legs and arms will get bulky and that is something most girls don’t want! Why we need to do some weights is cos the more muscle the body has, the more calories your body burns, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT EXERCISING!! This is something cardio CANNOT achieve. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Findings from a two year long study conducted by the University of Otago found that women who participated in yoga, positive visualisation and meditation ended up losing more weight than those who only focused on exercising and nutrition. After two years, those women ended up losing 2.5kg! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is why, its best to do a combination of exercise, you will definitely see the results you desire!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And to end this, the best thing you can do for your body is to drink LOADS of water. Minimum of 8 glasses a day. Water curbs hunger and helps in water retention. A lot of the time when you THINK you’re hungry, you’re actually just dehydrated! </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Hello all! I'd temporarily lost my inspiration </span>to inspire with the information I come across but I suddenly remembered I’d always been meaning to blog about…. Cinnamon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I honestly don’t know any girl who doesn’t want at some point of her life to lose more weight. And I’m always on the lookout for the easiest ways to do so. So I was really happy when I stumbled upon an article somewhere regarding how cinnamon can really give your metabolism boost and in turn help us lose fat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">According to the U.S. Agricultural Research Service, Cinnamon is one spice that increases your metabolism twentyfold — and all you have to ingest is a mere 1/4 to 1 tsp per day!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="background: yellow; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-highlight: yellow;">“Cinnamon contains a compound that helps break down the resistance of fat cells to the action of insulin. It works with the enzymes in your body to make glucose available to cells as a source of energy.”</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Pretty interesting huh? I incorporate cinnamon in my diet the easy way, I add cinnamon to my tea and coffee, to my oats, to my sandwich when I’m having mashed banana on toast; there are SO many ways you can consume it and it adds a really nice flavour as well! So hey! Go grab a bottle of cinnamon powder now! You can find it at any supermarket. </span></span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yesterday I attended the SK2 It Guy and Girl Event with Tian Tian. I’ve always had a strong interest in skincare and I believe good skin is only attainable if you take care of yourself on both the outside and in which you can probably tell from one of my first posts on supplements. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve been using SK2 for about 4 years now. I can’t say I’ve been diligent in using it cos I haven’t. I always tend to slack for awhile, see my skin condition diminishing and start again. However, after this event, I feel “re-inspired” to continue my skin care diligently, especially at night when absorption is at its highest.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And so we arrived at Isetan Shaw at 7pm and saw a bunch of bloggers and media personnel around this booth they had set up for the event, so we knew we were at the right place! We received a goodie bag containing their famous product, Facial Treatment Essence, for both men and women! So YAY for Nick, he got a bottle too! This is the first SK2 product I started using and I have to say, it IS amazing. I can’t say the same about the smell, but hey! Good skin is more important right? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It lightens and evens out the complexion and if used on a daily basis, you can achieve that transparent look which I am working towards. I have a friend that’s used SK2 daily for years and her skin is indeed transparent and radiant ALL THE TIME. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
There was a cool photobooth available and of course we had to get our pictures taken right? ;)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I actually hadn’t heard of Sara Wee until yesterday but yes, she definitely has good skin. I was peering at her and I couldn’t see a single wrinkle, and her skin seems really plumped up. She mentioned that her “miracle” product was the Stem Treatment. I went to ask the sales assistant about this product, and there are 2 kinds of stem treatment moisturisers:</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">1.</span><span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Stempower Rich Cream</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 36pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">2.</span><span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Stempower</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At our age, we should use the Stempower. The rich cream is apparently meant for matured skin and of course, as the name suggests, is richer. I asked for a sample of the stempower so I could experience its magic ;)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sara is actually a singer at some places in Singapore including Timbre. She sang 3 songs for us that night and boy, is her voice beautiful. It was just her, the microphone and a guitar but it was so nice to listen to. I’ve always envied people that can sing that well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tian and I proceeded to the counter to do our skin analysis as we were really curious as to what age our skin really was! They have this really high resolution camera which they use and take a picture of the “worst” skin of your skin and then analyse your skin based on that. The higher the score, the better. As long as you’re over 50% you’re pretty much in the clear. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I went first, and this is the snapshot of my skin and the results:</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My problem area where I only scored 59% was the texture refinement, which didn’t surprise me. I can see for myself that my skin texture isn’t great. One brilliant product for this is the SK2 Cellumination Essence. I have a bottle at home which I hardly use but when I do use it, I can really see a difference. My wrinkles were from the laugh lines near the cheek area and a few at the side of the eyes which is apparently very normal. What did scare me though, was the spot control. When they say spots, they mean brown spots. My “spot” age was 20 but I saw that I had quite a lot of spots under my skin that would come out with age if I don’t take care of my skin now! The solution is to counter this is to always slap on that sunblock before leaving the house! This IS something I do religiously but only in the past few months. I’m really tempted to buy the SK2 Whitening Spot Treatment which helps to lighten scars from the last 3 months as well as to prevent further spots from emerging. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This skin analysis is available to anyone, so if you want to try it, stop by any SK2 counter, it’s really informative as well an eye opener.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">All in all, it was a fantastic evening. We met Yina, whom we’ve known for YEARS but have never seen in real life (and I forgot to take a pic using my phone!!) We spoke to Utt and had our pictures taken with him and I got to spend my evening with my good friend, Tian Tian!

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In August last year I decided it was finally time for me to take my driving license, I had meant to for years but kept procrastinating which is why last year I set out to do a few things and I’m happy to say I’ve achieved most of them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I chose to take my class 3 at BBDC because I like how the school conducts lessons, in a systematic and gradual way unlike private instructors who tend to miss out some stuff. I find that in the school, I learn everything and if the instructor feels you didn’t understand that lesson, he wouldn’t pass you. It might seem like a waste of money at the time, but when it’s time for your TP test, you will be grateful for it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Upon my enrolment, I booked immediately for basic theory lessons. There are 2 classes which are mandatory, after which you do some practice sessions of the test questions followed by an evaluation which is a must to pass or you won’t be allowed to take the basic theory test! I did 2 practices and 2 evaluations cos I wanted to be totally ready and I passed my basic theory test on the first attempt. I followed the same for my final theory and passed with a full score that time!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I enjoyed all my driving lessons immensely and would really look forward to each lesson. In BBDC, you would be assigned to a group of instructors. My group had 8 people. They all had their own way of teaching and I really benefited from that. You can choose to fix one instructor at an additional cost but I liked that I could learn something from all of them. I also really enjoyed knowing all their stories and had a lovely chat each time I went for lesson which is 1 hour and 40 minutes at a go!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m getting to what I guess most people would wanna know before enrolling, how much would it cost? I believe I spent just about the minimum cos I failed only one lesson and managed to pass 2 lessons at a go on some days, so this is it. I’d say it’s an excellent investment and the joy you get from passing is nothing compared to that of a buying a new bag which is big coming from me!! haha. You feel such a sense of achievement that after about 6 months of hard work, you reap a positive result.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you go for lessons twice a week, you would be able to finish in less than 6 months. Before you can start driving, you would need to apply for a PDL (provisional Driving License) which only lasts 6 months. I completed mine with 15 days to spare! Should you need to extend it, it would cost $25 to renew.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And I chose to take a manual license, it might be more difficult but that’s how you feel that true sense of achievement upon passing. I had to go for a mandatory auto lesson and while of course it was fun cos you only need to control the accelerator and brake, I would say it’s much more fulfilling to take a manual license. And with a manual license, you can drive both an auto and manual car so 2 for the price of one! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So for anyone thinking of taking your license, I’d say go for it! good luck!</span></div>

Year of the SnakeIs everyone prepared for CNY this year? Today is the first day of the year of the snake and according to fengshui, you're supposed to wear a red top and walk into a bank and deposit some money into your account! I dont know how much of this I actually believe, but hey! worth a try right? Doesnt cost a thing anyway! :) <br />

I started early this year! I didnt intend to buy new cheongsams but I did anyway. I love how close CNY and Christmas are because the feeling of festivity just doesnt end.<br />
<br />
I miss the times in Primary school when during our art lessons we used to make all kinds of lanterns to decorate the classroom. I remember folding all the ang pow packets to make fish and hexagon shaped lanterns. <br />
<br />
Now, CNY just means food and more food for most! I always get my pineapple tarts from the same place, Cedele. Not only because its healthy, but they really are the best in my opinion! The other good place is Mirana Cake House. <br />
<br />
I haven't got down to the spring cleaning bit yet but I'm really excited about my cheongsams!<br />

There are predictions for each animal as well, and if mine holds any truth then I'm really excited for this year but then again I believe you make your own good fortune through hardwork.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For as long as I can remember, I’ve suffered from dark eye rings and ths line/wrinkle which surrounds that entire dark eye circle. I’ve tried numerous creams, some have worked to an extent but nothing got rid of them EXCEPT acupuncture. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many years ago, I went to this acupuncture clinic to seek treatment for my skin cos I was 19 and suffering acne and at the same time, the lady treated my dark eye rings. I went every week for a couple of months, and true enough, that line was gone and so was the darkness. However, I couldn’t keep up with the cost which is why I stopped and the dark eye rings came back after a few months. So, should you want to start this treatment, its something that needs to be upkept. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess it would make the most sense for brides to be to seek it as it’s the most important you look good on the day itself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The <span lang="EN" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">acupuncturist inserts tiny needles into different parts of the face, which is said to harmonize energy flow. I remember a needle is inserted into the middle of the forehead which is said to be the most effective point.</span></span></div>

So, since I have very sensitive skin I decided to try this toner given that I use the sleeping pack and my skin doesnt seem to have any allergic reaction to it.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>This is what its supposed to do:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>- Soothes sensitive and stressed skin and gently exfoliates excess keratin without irritation for healthy skin with fragrance-free, alcohol-free and color-free system<br />- Bio Dusali, extracted from fermented seaweed with strong energy of life, supplies energy to the skin and promotes keratin turnover, while the Hyacinth extracts purify the skin from heavy metal, smog, and other harmful materials to leave the skin moist and transparent.<br />- Rice bran extracts with outstanding skin soothing and moisturizing effects along with a highly skin-friendly high-molecular moisture barrier provides sufficient moisturization and healthier skin condition</strong></span><br />
<br />
I've used it now for a week and I can definitely see a difference in my skin, its much smoother and the small spots I had before are gone. It absorbs really well into the skin and leaves absolutely NO residue on the face so this has got to be by far, the best toner I've ever used. I'm typically very lazy and dont even use toner on most days but since I received this, I've been using it religiously day and night.<br />
<br />
So for anyone with sensitive skin, this is for you!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02913812266686542498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291842521656496348.post-90219013819538512013-01-24T00:45:00.000-08:002013-01-24T00:45:10.168-08:00are we forcing ourselves to grow old too fast? A meaningful forwarded msg.. <br />
<br />I was at a party recently where I spoke to a guy about his job. Having recently graduated college and settled into a rather prestigious career field, he mentioned that, though the money was good, the actual job itself was kind of draining. He wasn’t sure if it was for him, and had long since stopped enjoying it, but doubted he could do much better. It’s the kind of field where you work extremely long hours, especially when you’re new, and don’t get a whole lot in the way of recognition. As the party was beginning to heat up and we all decided to take some shots, he declined and said that he needed to go home <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">—</span> on a weekend, at just before midnight. When we teased him, he reminded us with a bit of a sigh, that “his crazy party days were behind him.” This is a guy who was once preceded by the reputation of being the life of every party, who now eschewed going out for the most part because he’s “too old for it.”<br />
He’s 24. <br />And this is far from being a unique case. Even a brief trip around Facebook to take a look at people you rarely talk to anymore can confirm that, in their early-to-mid twenties, people are<i> already</i> settling into careers they rather dislike, staying with the same person they’ve been with for years even though they’ve occasionally voiced their desire to see elsewhere, giving up on dreams of travel or adventure, and deciding that they are now “too old” to enjoy the occasional real party. There are even those who have transformed from party girl to sanctimonious mommy whose life is now “so meaningful,” all at the ripe old age of 24. Beyond giving up on the crucial time for experimentation, there are those who openly look down upon the people whose careers have yet to really be selected, who are traveling the world, who are remaining steadfastly single <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">—</span> essentially, anyone who is taking their twenties to make the mistakes they may not be able to make in the future.<br />
Of course, we all know people who have been rather “serious” their entire lives, who have always gone home early from parties, turned down offers of travel and experimentation, and have chosen the straight-and-narrow. But what’s crucially different about them is that that is just<i> who they are.</i> They enjoy the safe, the familiar, the reliable <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">—</span> and frankly, we need people like that. There’s nothing wrong with those who have always been, in some way or another, an “old soul.” But the people to whom I am referring here are those who feel, whether through societal pressure or their own sense of competition, the need to grow up far too quickly. They have put some kind of social premium on keeping jobs they hate simply to say they are on a good career path, on cutting adventure nearly completely out of their lives, on settling down into a relationship that may not be right for them simply to avoid being alone at too “sad” an age. <br />
As you begin to enter the world of social media and peer interaction where a huge amount of everything people your age have to say has to do with how much they love their significant other, how stressful their job is, how drinking is now too much for them, or the various dimensions of their children’s excrement, it can feel incredibly stifling. You have this sudden urge to yell at the top of your lungs, “Is this all we have left to talk about?!” And it is certain that behind these people who’ve chosen such “stable” life paths in their early-to-mid twenties, there are often parents and competitive peers who nod in approval and muse on how much more “adult” they are, but at what price? Do we not owe it to ourselves to make the decisions <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">—</span> and mistakes <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">—</span> that we want to, while we have the youth and the means with which to do it? Should we force ourselves into a job we dislike or a relationship that doesn’t fit us to fill out some model of adulthood we’re not even sure we want?<br />
I have been to brunches and happy hours amongst acquaintances who, at the tender ages of 23-25, will spend the entire time talking about their problems at work and their desire find a bigger apartment. It’s almost like watching a bunch of children put on their parents’ clothes and shoes and shuffle around the house like grown-ups, a kind of caricature of boring adulthood. It’s hard not to see your life flashing before your eyes at moments like this, a chilling feeling that if, in the dawn of your adult life, you’ve already limited your conversation topics to the rigors of responsibility and commitment, things can’t get too much better from here. Not when the people who choose an alternative lifestyle or follow their dreams, even while clearly young enough to do so, are spurned and mocked by these peers as being “irresponsible,” or “immature.” Not when conversations of sex, politics, art, culture, or even the weather have been replaced by a comparing of notes about the varying degrees of adulthood one has attained.<br />
We live in a world now where we can see our generation’s successes and failures in real time. We know what every friend and acquaintance is doing, we know where they live, we know how things are working out for them. And though we no longer have the intense societal pressure to marry and spawn, as well as have a good job and own a house all by your late twenties, we have an enormous amount of pressure we put on ourselves. In many ways, this constant comparison to those around us has replaced the traditional rules of becoming an adult, and now these restraints and objectives are ones we largely put on ourselves. “If my friends are all getting boring 9-5 jobs and settling down right now,” we think, “I’d better be doing it, too.” But few things are more disheartening than watching someone so young actively put aside the things they long to see and do in this world for a perfect, adult kind of happiness that they’re not even sure exists. Don’t we owe it to ourselves to live life, and above all, be young, on our own terms? Who is telling us what to do anymore, and more importantly, why are we listening?<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One fine day, Veron buddy asked us if we wanted to do a photoshoot, all of us being the ever enthusiastic people we are all agreed excitedly and before we knew it, 12 January was here. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We decided to do a color theme of cobalt so that we could wear our matching necklaces for the shoot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So bright and early at 11am on a Saturday morning, we had our very first friendship shoot! It was just SO fun and I remember loads of laughing. The photographer assigned to us was a poly student (omg felt so old) and was really nice and engaging and made us feel really comfortable the whole time. The sun was shining bright and it was super hot but none of that mattered when the company was so awesome!! I’ve said it before but I will say it again, this group of girls are the most spontaneous and fun girls I’ve ever met! I did buy a groupon before for a previous group of friends but it never materialised. I look forward to our HK trip which is gonna be awesome too!!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some shots from the day, I couldn’t save many cos of my low phone memory but I’m sure the raw pics will be out soon!</span></div>

I thought 2008 was bad but 4 years later, it proved worse. But instead of harping on the bad things, I choose to be thankful for the good. I am not someone who has a large of network of friends because I don't believe in quantity over quality. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Eras Medium ITC','sans-serif';">In the year of 2012, I made friends with a group of 6 girls. It’s pretty amazing to find a group of friends who have such similar interests and get along so well despite being from different backgrounds. I am grateful to God for putting them in my lives because they have filled that void in me that was lacking and that is to have a solid group of girl friends who genuinely love each other. I don't think I've met friends who will bother to buy me vitamins/lozenges when I'm sick ever in my life. I'm very used to being the one who takes care of people so I feel so touched deep down inside to this friend.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Eras Medium ITC','sans-serif';">I ended 2012 seeing a friend I love so much get married and to someone I know as long as I know Nick. I couldn't have spent Christmas Eve in a better way!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Eras Medium ITC','sans-serif';">And I ended the year with a bang. The trip was just mentioned casually between YT and I and BOOM tickets and hotel booked. I love that I've finally found a friend like this cos I've had so many wishy washy ones who have told me see-how so many times I've given up asking. YOLO.. So don't think too much into stuff and be spontaneous. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Eras Medium ITC','sans-serif';">I wish for a happier 2013 and the best thing that could happen this year would be to get a house. It’s been a lifelong dream. Secondly, I want to work out more like how I used to in 2011. I don’t want to be overly ambitious so that’s all for now!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

There's something different in the air and everyone seems to treat each other nicer and be that bit kinder. December also marks mine and my Dad's birthday so that makes it an extra special month. I spend my birthday surrounded by Christmas decorations and Christmas carols are always playing in the background.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: red;">To me, Christmas is and always has been about family. In particular my parents. When I was younger till I was 20, our whole family would get together at my grandmothers place and open presents the second the clock hit 12. My grandmother would cook all the traditional Eurasian food, my aunt would make a shephards pie and sugee cake every year without fail and my dad would go to this deli at Alexandra and get sausages. It was a much simpler time when I was younger when everyone got along and loved each other. Sadly, this didnt continue once my grandfather sold their house and my grandmother came down with dementia. I think back sometimes and my heart aches that this all ended because the highlight of each Christmas since I was a baby was being with the whole family and seeing everyone's happy face and eating the wonderful food cooked by my Nana which noone can ever replicate</span>.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Which is why my dream is to own my own place so I can continue this tradition. I love to spread the joy and warmth of Christmas which is why I put in alot of effort at Christmas time to buy small gifts and write cards for friends and family. So, now I have penned it down and I know it will materialise. Once I get the keys to my house, every Christmas eve I will host a dinner for my parents and friends. I don't think this tradition should die and I wish to revive it and preserve the Eurasian traditions at Christmas. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>With that I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and may the joy of Christ birth keep the fire in your heart burning. </strong></span><br />

It controls our every thought, action and perception of situations and people.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have met many really nice girls/guys in my course of life and dont you all notice one thing? Some really nice people just always end up choosing shitty partners? Like all the years you've known them, they've ONLY had bad partners who end up treating them horribly. I wouldnt put this down to luck, cos quite frankly you make your own luck. There's no such thing as luck. Its how you use chances presented to you. According to a research done:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good. There were 4 principles that were recommended to be applied to transform your life into a happier one:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right </strong></span><br />
<li><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine </strong></span><br />
<li><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well </strong></span><br />
<li><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Visualise yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call. Luck is very often a self-fulfilling prophecy </strong></span></li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;">Anyway back to my original topic, some people end</span> up with horrible partners, simply because you accept the love you THINK you deserve. This is all in the mind, you could be the best looking girl/guy, but if in your head you put yourself down and think noone will ever love you, you're probably gonna end up right. This is cos that is the kinda energy you're giving off which is why you attract the wrong kind, and when THEY love you, you feel so grateful and accept their love.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, to sum it up, be positive! I'm not saying you should be egoistic and think you're too good for anyone but dont accept love readily, exercise discretion and be with someone who respects you and doesn't play with your feelings. YOU deserve better!</span><br />

<span style="color: #595959; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Have there been times when you’ve been sleeping early and getting your 8 hours sleep yet you still feel dead beat?<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: #595959; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Well, that’s cos sleep is not the only component in making you feel energised. A large part has also got to do with your diet. A diet rich in protein and fibre will make you feel lively and tire out less easily as opposed to a diet rich in carbohydrates. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: #595959; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Despite coffee being the most common option to wake yourself up, an excess of it will actually do the opposite, it will make you feel lethargic and lacklustre. I know this from my own experience as I used to be taking 3-4 cups of coffee a day to keep myself awake and I woke every morning feeling like I hadn’t slept a wink. It’s been a month now that I’ve quit coffee and I honestly feel much better. I don’t feel as tired as I used to be although I’ve been sleeping later (which isn’t good tho) <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #595959; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In addition, the below foods can be added to your diet to help you function better: <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 9.35pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;">
<b><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Fruit<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #666666; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Fiber is a natural energizer and apples are packed full of it so if you’re feeling sleepy at mid day, grab an apple instead of that cup of coffee, the amount of vitamins in it will also help promote great skin and keep flu’s at bay!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<h2 style="background: white; margin: auto 0cm 9.35pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Nuts<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<div style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Keep a pack of roasted almonds (without the sugar) on your desk. They’re full of protein and fat free so grab a handful for an instant energy boost. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<h2 style="background: white; margin: auto 0cm 9.35pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Water<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<div style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Even if you don’t feel thirsty, drink water. The body gets dehydrated especially in air con rooms which we all are stuck in for 8 hours a day so try as much as you can to get 4 litres down a day. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<h2 style="background: white; margin: auto 0cm 9.35pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Chocolate<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<div style="background: white;">

Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants as well and makes you feel happy too, so 2 squares a day is highly recommended! <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<h2 style="background: white; margin: auto 0cm 9.35pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Oatmeal</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="background: white; margin: auto 0cm 9.35pt;">

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Veggies<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #595959; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In our bodies, fiber acts a bit like a sponge—it can grab things that are passing through our digestive tract and help to whisk them away, that’s why you hear about fiber lowering bad cholesterol levels. It latches on to some of the building blocks of cholesterol, ultimately helping to reduce its levels. As veggies have the highest level of fiber, it’s really important to incorporate them as part of our daily diet. Have a salad for lunch or steam some veggies for dinner but make sure at some point in the day, you DO get veggies. The below are 5 of the veggies with the highest fiber and the great thing, you can actually have them all in one serving if you chuck them into a salad<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: x-small;">Sardines, salmon, flax seeds and walnuts are excellent food sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Flax seeds can be added to oatmeal, walnuts and salmon to a salad and sardines to a sandwich so it’s really easy to get your dose of omega daily. Omega is really important as it helps to reduce inflammation in the body, lowers cholesterol and also reduces the risk of obesity. </span></span></span></div>

I'm not sick of it anything but it would be nice to have something different once in awhile. <br />
<br />
So off I went in the search of other options and went no further to my favorite chef, Jamie Oliver and got this! Sounds pretty awesome right?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ea9999;"><strong>Pullokka (or Bircher Muesli)</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ea9999;"><strong>8 large handfuls of organic Scottish porridge oats<br minmax_bound="true" />2 large handfuls of ground bran<br minmax_bound="true" />1 handful of chopped dried apricots<br minmax_bound="true" />1 handful of chopped dried dates<br minmax_bound="true" />1 handful of crumbled walnuts<br minmax_bound="true" />1 handful of smashed or chopped almonds, hazelnuts or Brazil nuts<br minmax_bound="true" /><br minmax_bound="true" />Add your porridge oats and bran to your plastic container with the apricots and dates. Add the walnuts and your other chosen nuts (I usually bash them up in a tea towel). At this point feel free to improvise, adding any other preferred dried fruits like raisins, sultanas or figs - but personally I think my combination works pretty well. This will keep for a good couple of months very happily in your airtight container, but you'll have eaten it by then, I guarantee<br minmax_bound="true" /><br minmax_bound="true" />Making and knocking together -<br minmax_bound="true" /><br minmax_bound="true" />milk to cover<br minmax_bound="true" />1/2 a crunchy apple per person, washed and unpeeled<br minmax_bound="true" /><br minmax_bound="true" />I would definitely try to make this the night or day before you want to eat it, although it can be made at the time) but you won't get the smooth silky scrumptious texture that the milk gives it overnight - I normally place double the amount of composed cereal I need (i.e. 4 portions for 2 people ) into a bowl. Doubling up like this gives you enough to eat for the next couple of days. Cover with milk, grate in around half an apple per person and stir immediately to stop the apple discolouring. Place in the fridge.<br minmax_bound="true" /><br minmax_bound="true" />Tucking in and eating -<br minmax_bound="true" /><br minmax_bound="true" />half a banana per person peeled and sliced or squashed<br minmax_bound="true" />honey to taste<br minmax_bound="true" /><br minmax_bound="true" />Remove the bowl from the fridge. You will find it has softened and thickened, so loosen with a little milk. Add your banana sliced or squashed. You will find that a lot of natural sweetness has come out of the dried fruit, so add honey to taste. Serve in a bowl with a dollop of yoghurt and some mixed berries.</strong></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02913812266686542498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291842521656496348.post-972213157246354752012-12-02T19:32:00.000-08:002012-12-02T19:32:03.430-08:00Reflections<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s that time of the year when I sit back and reflect on the year. When I started this blog 4 months ago, I set about some goals </span><a href="http://truly-yours-emmy.blogspot.sg/2012/08/my-goals.html"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Calibri;">here</span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">These were the 4 things I wanted to do this year: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<s><span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. Start a blog<o:p></o:p></span></s></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<s><span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. Join a dance class<o:p></o:p></span></s></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. Open a blog shop with my friend aka sister</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<s><span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. Take my driving lessons<o:p></o:p></span></s></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And I’m proud to say that out of the 4, I am only left with one to complete. But it’s not something I’m DEAD set on either. I just don’t know if I want to do accessories or clothes so I’m putting that on hold for now. And I’ve seen people really struggle with it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Which brings me to planning for next year. Next year, I want to buy a house. It’s a HUGE step but I think at 28 it’s something I want to invest in. Property is also the best form of investment in Singapore. It can only go up unlike stocks. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My next goal although simple is to try and clear all my instalments on my credit cards and cut up as many as I can. To be honest, I regret ever signing up for my first credit card which was the UBO ONE card. To hell with the points, the one time you pay late, all the points you’ve accumulated are the same amount as the fee. Funnily enough, my dad never had and to now doesn’t have a credit card. He always said what’s the point? You’re spending money you don’t have. Which is really true, I wonder why I didn’t follow his wise words? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That’s really about it for now. I haven’t thought of anything else. More might come to me though but I think these 2 are pretty big in themselves. Writing down your goals really help materialise them so come on guys! Pen down your goals for 2013, and I’m certain you’ll achieve them or at least some of them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There have been so many things running at the speed of my light through my mind lately. I feel like I’m the ocean and there are schools of fish just swimming frantically across ALL THE TIME. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But thank god for yoga. I really have to thank my ex col for bringing me to True Yoga one day during lunch for a trial class. Prior to that, I’d never even have considered yoga cos to me, it’s not a workout. I always use to think it’s a lazy person’s excuse for exercise. But boy was I wrong! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKPoy8SWNp5ij6n2jDfQediPuyAM8sIyAJvWdvFZUnhn0G7Dnwmvz0n01NjCn5HD_IB8b67UxdLr8ltqN218p8BVBPUPrvuuzZjynIVZciRU2lu68TWS4gUYRGn4OGkr4MLhJpppC1e6gX/s1600/main_yoga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKPoy8SWNp5ij6n2jDfQediPuyAM8sIyAJvWdvFZUnhn0G7Dnwmvz0n01NjCn5HD_IB8b67UxdLr8ltqN218p8BVBPUPrvuuzZjynIVZciRU2lu68TWS4gUYRGn4OGkr4MLhJpppC1e6gX/s320/main_yoga.jpg" tea="true" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yoga calms the mind and rejuvenates the body! Whenever I feel any stress in my life I go to a class and come out feeling much better and more at ease. For such instances, I’d recommend Yoga Therapy. It’s an easy class that doesn’t require much effort but involves a lot of breathing and stretching. Its also incredible if you’ve just had a hard workout the previous day and are experiencing muscle aches. I swear to you, the muscle aches are reduced by 50% STRAIGHT after the class. No shit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My next favourite yoga class would be Hot Yoga, it’s conducted in a hot room and goes on for an hour. It’s said to remove toxins from your body and enables you to perform the poses with more ease due to the heat loosening up the muscles. I do at least one hot yoga a week and it’s awesome. You sweat a bucket, and can actually feel slimmer after. After a hot shower, you can be assured a great night’s sleep!<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The other classes include Vinyasa (which I’m trying this Saturday for the first time!), Hatha (not as strenuous as hot but effective!), Lila Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Yoga Stretch.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You can refer to the True Yoga website for more information on the types of classes but the ones I’ve mentioned are the ones I personally find most effective and would recommend to anyone!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<a href="http://www.trueyoga.com.sg/classes.htm"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Calibri;">http://www.trueyoga.com.sg/classes.htm</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That being said, if your aim is to lose weight, yoga alone is NOT gonna do the job. You have to couple it with cardio such as cycling, swimming and running. A combination of yoga and cardio is the optimal workout and will be sure to help you lose those pounds!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If anyone needs a trial class or is interested in signing with True Fitness/Yoga, please call or text the most awesome consultant there, Jackson. In my time with True (since 2010) I’ve met a variety of consultants and all of them have one thing in common, the sale. With Jackson, you will find he’s helpful and glad to go out of his way to make sure you get the class you wish to attend and he also gives the best rate! Most importantly, he’s not pushy so you won’t<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>have to worry he’s gonna force or harass you into signing up with them. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">According to Napoleon Hill, “A positive mental attitude is the starting point of all riches.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There is no doubt about it, your happiness, success, and wealth depends on your mental attitude. In other words, your mental attitude has the greatest importance in your life. It has the power to include success in your blood and move you closer to your goals. It can not only make your thoughts supreme but also give you eternal floods of happiness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Tw Cen MT Condensed','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;"><strike>I really like the cameo but I know it’s gonna get dirty really quickly cos I’m not one that takes care of my stuff very well. So I guess I’m gonna get the dark rose. I haven’t used a wallet in ages but rather dump everything into my wristlet but I think I wanna go back to using one. It looks a lot classier.<o:p></o:p></strike></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Tw Cen MT Condensed','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Ok this has got to be the most clichéd item and most guys who don’t have a clue what to buy for presents, buy this. But I’ve always lusted after it. It’s not that expensive but I don’t why I haven’t parted with my money for it up till now. We’ll see huh?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Tw Cen MT Condensed','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">The most common Chanel earrings would probably the crystal encrusted one but I’m not crazy about it cos the crystals drop and there are so many replicas. But this one I love. It oozes class and elegance!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Tw Cen MT Condensed','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">These are adorable! Lots and lots of places like the Chanel earrings have made copies of it but it’s not the same. YOU will know you’re wearing a replica and as much as I can help it, I’d rather not have the item than wear a replica. I’m strange like that. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

I do wear it quite abit. But now I can’t decide on the color I want. I really like the blue but matching is gonna be no easy feat and I’m the anal kind that likes my shoes and bracelets to match. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I think I might possibly have the simplest skincare regime around. I’ve split it into day and night so its easier to the difference, although the difference is so minimal. Haha;)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the morning I use my all time favourite cleanser, the gel moussant from Avene. It has no scent and no colouring or any of that artificial stuff so it’s perfect for my sensitive skin. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once I’ve dried my face, I use Avene/Vichy thermal water as a toner as i don’t see the need to use an actual toner which involves rubbing my face with a cotton pad since I’m guessing my face doesn’t get very dirty while I sleep. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once that dries, I slap on some of my Biore face milk which is SPF50+ and off I go! That’s it! Nothing else. I’ve read before the less you put on your face, the better. Anyway skin condition is pretty much determined from what you ingest and not so much of what you apply outside. Which brings me back to my earlier post on supplements!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once I’m back from work, I use Bivesta makeup remover if i used any makeup which i usually don’t and that pretty much gets off all the goop from my face.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At night i use a better cleanser given the fact my face has been exposed to all that grime, dirt and dust from outside. This has little beads in it and has done a good job so far! I love Kiehl’s products but they’re so expensive!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After cleansing, i use Vichy toner cos it’s the only one that hasn’t irritated my face so far.

You can’t use Laniege sleeping pack daily as your face will tend to get oily so it’s best you rotate with something else!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And with that I end my skincare post! Once a month, I get a milk peel done at SkinLab as well. It really has saved my skin countless of times and I don’t think I’ll be changing my facial place anytime soon. The therapists there are awesome, but I can’t say the same for the sales personnel. They are pushy and rude and if not for my therapist who I’ve been going to for a year now, I wouldn’t hesitate to change place!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Retribution is defined as something justly deserved; recompensated. It doesn’t only pertain to bad doings but also to good in a way. Have you heard of the saying kindness begets kindness? I think it’s very true but of course we need to exercise discretion, we can’t be nice to everyone, cos a lot will just take advantage of it but we should try our best to be kind to the people close to us and those in need of help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So as much as we can, although at times it might be hard especially when dealing with mean people, we should try not to inflict bad thoughts or do bad things to people like backstabbing and bad mouthing. Cos what you do unto others will be done unto you and when that happens, you will look back and wish you tried to be nicer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bad things happen for a reason sometimes though. Sometimes when bad things happen it’s because its making way for something good. Like if you don’t get a job you thought you wanted, its cos there’s a better one just around the corner. Or if you break off in a relationship, some time down the road, you will definitely see that it happened for a very good reason. It’s happened a lot to me but I guess it’s very hard to believe in this especially when the bad times hit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
