It’s official. I’ll be on a sabbatical (no pay leave *sad face*) from work from 18 Aug to 26 Sep*. I decided to do it for several reasons but mainly because over the past 6 months, I feel like I’ve lost myself – my health, my sense of purpose and motivation in life. So, here’s...

Diet for us with Endometrosis
Weight is a very sensitive subject and for people who, like me, have endometrosis, this is even more sensitive because we may eat the correct no. of calories per day, exercise like mad and still pile on weight like nobody’s business. Don’t know about you but I get really irritated when family and friends are...

Breathless
I had the worst allergic reaction last night. My eyes were itchy and swollen, causing them to water like mad. My nose was blocked and I started sneezing really violently. Worst of all, my heart was racing and I couldn’t breathe properly, even through my mouth. I was wheezing. Thank god for anti-histamines. Took a...

The Day I had a Health Scare
I woke up this morning with sharp pains coming from my left side. I just went to the company GP and then she started getting worried because the pain was coming from the area that is right smack where my ovary is. So…it could be my ovary or my intestines. Doesn’t help that I have...

X-ray results
Thank you to all those who have been asking about my back. The X-ray results are out and I dare say that I’m 100% back to normal!! No fracture, no slipped discs etc. Phew. The doc has ordered me to strengthen my core muscles so that my spine doesn’t get unstable or have any muscle...

Collagen in coffee?
Collagen in coffee? Apparently, that is possible. Nescafe follows the current collagen fad and adds collagen into its 3-in-1 coffee mix. Managed to get a sample (love this try-vertising concept) and verdict is: not very exciting. Haha..how can coffee be THAT exciting right? Well…it tastes normal. Do I believe that consumption of collagen is beneficial...

Things That Perk Me Up
In the MRT yesterday, I noticed this lady (who was sitting down) staring at my bag. Now, I’m quite used to people glancing at my Miu Miu because it IS a nice bag. However, I found out a minute later why she was staring at it so intently and then glancing at me before glancing...

Morbid Thoughts On Body Parts
Earthquake in China. My heart goes out to those who have died in this earthquake. It is shocking to hear that the death toll and injury toll have both hit the thousands. What is especially saddening is that the deaths are mainly children as a school building had collapsed. The funny thing is that after...
