A good break :)

So this break from work is not exactly planned and I'm really surprised that it has been a great one thus far! 

Just for today, I had a few things I wanted to do 

1) do some exercise and go to the gym
2) pay credit card bill
3) practice keyboard 
4) meet friends for dinner 

Guess what? I did more than this :) 

This morning I received my new dumb bell and they are really pretty! Prettier than expected! So right after lunch, I did some simple work out with it :) it came at the right time as I was planning to do some exercise today as I haven really exercise this week! 

Thereafter, I managed to send out a few job applications as intended! :) 

Though I was feeling quite tired not sure why, but I decided to drag myself to the gym for some cardio! My weight has been on the rise 😅 I hope it was because I'm starting to build muscles as I have been doing some weight training recently in the hope of building up some muscles! 

To be honest, I think I did build some muscles because I used to get back aches quite quickly from carrying back pack even if there's nothing much in the bag! But these days I don't get back ache anymore even though the bag is heavy! :) so hopefully it means that I'm starting to build some back muscles! 

Spent around 40 minutes at the gym with 20 minutes doing cardio and another 10-20 minutes on 2 gym machines which he once taught me how to use :) I also realized that actually we have been given the active sg credits and this means that going to the gym is free! I only need to pay 40 cents for the locker! So there's no reason why we don't go to the gym :) 

Took a walk to and fro from the stadium too in an attempt to clock some steps as I am trying to clock a minimum of 7500 steps a day! 

Went back home, took a quick shower and did a facial mask while I practice my keyboard :) actually the truth is that I haven been able to use the sheet masks I bought from all those trips as I have been really busy! But ever since I started on this break, I have been using the masks quite consistently! 😃

I managed to practice keyboard for another 20 minutes before I went out and now I'm on my way to meet my friends. It suddenly feels like my life is slowly falling into place and there's some indescribable peace in me. I must say that I'm glad to have this break! 

I also planned to get my driving license, my abrsm exam and going back into learning keyboard when I took up my previous job. However, as I was really busy with work, I postponed my plans and concentrated on working instead. I then realized that I achieved non of my personal goal as I have place the company's priority above mine. Despite doing so, I wasn't given a proper treatment and this made me realize that we should never postpone our own priority for a company or someone! But nevermind, we learn from experience. 

For now, I started my driving lessons finally and I'm really glad to have found a great private instructor who has been really patient with me! I have also started my keyboard lesson and started writing songs again 😃 apart from that, I've also started cooking, something which I've always wanted to do. So I'm just really thankful for this break 😃

Post braces care

Like me, I guess most people would think that there isn't much things we need to do after we take out our braces but...I realise that it is not true! In fact, you really need to take care of your teeth after you remove your braces! Here's some tips and some personal encounters for anyone who is going to remove their braces! 1. Wear your retainers (forever) Once you remove your braces, your dentist would have advised you to wear your braces 24/7 for the first 6 months as the teeth will start to shift (back to the original position in worse cases) if you do not wear your braces. Many people may think that it is not important to wear your retainers but here's a strong piece of advise for you. You must really remember to wear your retainers. If wearing it 24/7 is a bit tough as it was a bit hard for me to really talk when I wear my retainers, please wear it at night.  Question is, do you still need to wear braces after 6 month?  YES! The answer is definitely a yes....

Food allergy, yes it is scary!

A few of my friends sent me a link of this straits time article about a lady who has passed on due to food allergy in an attempt to caution me to stay away from prawn as I too, had my 3rd food allergy episode in late May and I thought I should share my story too. I had my first food allergy episode about 8 years ago and honestly, it was scary! I recalled that I took the company bus out to east point and had long john silver, one of my favourite fast food of all times. As I love to go for new combo sets, I ordered the ultimate seafood combo set which comes with a seafood patty containing prawn, sea urchin, squid and etcs. After lunch, while I was making my way back to the office, my eyes felt weird. I asked my friend if my eyes look weird and she said I look ok. With that, I went back to my office (we are not from the same department). As I sat down, I felt a puff below my eyes and I was wondering if it was because the eye shadow accidentally gone into my eyes and caused some irrita...
