Garden by the Bays @ Singapore

It's a off day for me today at Singapore, so I decided to go tour around before I get busier next few weeks :)
Few places I wanted to go, a coffee tour, walking around the Orchard Road, or go to Sentosa.
I ended up at Marina Bays, after a few person recommended me to Gardens by the Bay
They are having this Tulip flowers thingy, where they fly in tulips from Netherlands.
The flowers will only stay here a month, so I decided to go!

I went with my friend, Nicklaus.
Went by MRT, stopped at Bayfront station, took me an hour to reach there.
We went to the Tulipmania@Flower Dome and also the Cloud Forest!
The total entrance ticket is, $28

We went in, took lots pictures.
He took a lot of flower pictures of me, and also my pictures, out of my demand :P
Here goes the pictures! :)










































I personally love the yellow flowers and the purple ones! They yellow ones are so cute, and lovely! 
I keep on taking pictures with the same flowers.
The waterfall in the Cloud Forest was tall! Splashing the water makes us chill!
The two conservatories are chilled, we are like in the refrigerators! Cold!
It was worth the money! 
A great trip, 3 hours plus of walking though

More to discover of SG :P

a day to remember

On 3 May, went for a shopping spree with zee girls to Bukit Bintang.
There's no particular reason for this date (perhaps cz I have stuff to buy), and hence, we dated!
We went to Kuala Lumpur by public transport, thank God it was very frequent and on time as well!

The day was awesome, like SERIOUSLY!
A day where we laugh so much, shop for our stuff, ate so full, walked so much.
Most of all, is the fellowship together!
It was what you call, love.


We had lunch at Suki-ya for lunch, it's a buffet style shabu shabu.
I love the beef!
We ordered so much, and we struggled a bit finishing them.
I just know, I ate lots of beef, beef and beef! Eunoki as well :P




I didn't grab much stuff from the spree. just two bottoms and a top.





Second time going to this shop named Mirrorcle @ Fahrenheit88
I like their clothes there. It's not hard for me to get a few pieces that I like :)
Recommended. 


We went home at the peak hour at it was raining so heavily.
Our shoes were all wet! Gosh!
We are smart enough to bring umbrellas though.
Teeheee.

I would call this a day to remember and we took lots pictures too! :)

Energise Your Life

I came across this article of Readers Digest last week. Its talking about 20 tips health experts beg you not to skip. I find it rather interesting and informational and decided to share it here!

1. Go ahead and drink more coffee!
Drink it black or at most put a little skim milk in it. 

2. Pack in protein in the morning
Protein packed breakfast will not end up in quick hunger and chewing snacks throughout a day! High-protein options are hard-boiled eggs or Greek yoghurt.

3. Pump up your potassium
Potassium stuff are like, a cup of milk, two bananas, a quarter of avocado, and a half cup of raisins, cocoa, dried apricots, fish, prunes, spinach, plain yoghurt and potatoes with skin!

4. Pick up some sleep shades
Blue light emitted by our devices are No good. Especially the one or two hours before sleep. So, wear blue-light-filtering glasses while using our computer or phone before bed.

5. Stand up and count to 60
People who take most standing breaks throughout a day, even as brief as 60 seconds have SLIMMER WAISTS!!

6. Get results in 20 seconds
The difference between having a goal and actually accomplishing it is just 20 seconds. For example, if you want to go for an exercise in the morning, place your shoes or outfit beside your bed, or if you want to praise someone, put a thank you note on your table first.

7. Early to bed, early to eat
Being a night owl might increase your waistline. This is gonna be tough!

8. To feel better, imagine the worst
You'll experience stronger feelings or gratitude and happiness when you think about living without the people and things you love. Don't be a pessimist though :)

9. Worship morning sun, seek refuge in the afternoon
Go under the sun in the morning, hide from the sun in the afternoon! Don't get sunburned! 

10. Beware sugar-free traps
Well, sugar-free sweets and juices ain't healthy. It's bad!

11. For a good night's rest, keep your cool
People that wear a cap to keep their brain cool can sleep better. This is amazing!

12. Take a walk to improve your memory
A 45 minutes walk three time a week is good enough. I find this rather tough to achieve.

13. Hit the yoga mat
I don't do yoga by the way.

14. Focus less on your kids, more on your spouse
Don't forget your spouse! They need company too!

15. Start your day with chocolate
A square of dark chocolate has just the right amount of the cacao alkaloid theobromine to wake you up! Don't consume too much! :P

16. Snack on real energy foods
Eg: two multigrain crackers, spread with two tablespoon of crunchy organic peanut butter and one wpoon of low-sugar blueberry jam. A thick one!

17. Rev up with the spice of life
hot chillis are low in kilo-joules!

18. Eat more quinoa
It is rich in protein, fibre and hard-to-get magnesium, which protect against hypertension

19. Switch to grass-fed beef
It is more expensive, but I believe you can find them! Ask the waiter/waitress!

20. To boost self-esteem, get into a friends's head
Most people have a much easier time being self-compassionate if they pretend to be someone else.
