I recently started shopping on TikTok! In case you didn’t know, I have two TikTok accounts, and that’s where I started noticing all the TikTok Shop ads popping up in my feed. I ignored those videos for the longest time until I spotted a 0.1 sen deal for 5 packs of large kitchen wipes. Wah,…
I’m officially done with my 10/10 Sale shopping for now! Now comes the fun part — waiting for all my shopping loot to trickle in, one parcel at a time. Here’s what I bought during this sale: Dettol washing machine cleaner from TikTok Bed sheet from TikTok Gym wear from Lazada & Shopee Chrysanthemum buds…
I received some complimentary pizzas from Domino’s yesterday, featuring their new Cheese & Steak Pizza range! The new range features three pizzas, each offering a different take on the steak craving. Cheese & Steak Beef Signature features smoky steak brisket, onions, green peppers and mushrooms, all brought together with a rich grilled cheese sauce for…
Mum followed me to Zumba class yesterday evening, and I’m really glad she did. ❤️ She had originally planned to stop going to the gym for a few months because of the chronic aches and pains in her legs and back. But gradually, she started following me to strength training classes, and yesterday, she decided…
Today, the second Friday of October, is World Egg Day! It’s a day to celebrate this humble little superfood — a nutritious and affordable source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals. Since Mum and I started strength training five months ago, we’ve been eating two soft-boiled eggs for breakfast every day. I also see some…
My gym partner — aka my 80-year-old mum — has decided she’s NOT giving up the gym just yet. 💪😄 Despite her chronic aches and pains in her legs and back, her acupuncturist and physiotherapist have encouraged her to continue with strength training. At her age, maintaining and building muscle is so important. The less…
For the longest time, nuts have always been my go-to snack. They’re nutritious, filling, relatively low in carbs and, when eaten in reasonable portions, generally have much less impact on blood sugar than the usual sugary or highly processed snacks. Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fats and are great for heart and brain health. Almonds…
I have been having an issue receiving a TAC number required for EPF’s 2-factor authentication when trying to access my EPF account through both the phone app and the EPF website for the past few days. So today, I decided to go to the EPF office in Greentown to get it sorted. Dad, who had…
Ballon of bingo: welke heeft betere winkansen De meeste artikelen over crash-spellen en bingo slaan de plank mis. Ze doen alsof beide alleen maar “leuk” zijn, terwijl de echte vraag draait om winkansen, spelregels, uitbetaling, volatiliteit en de verwarring die bij veel spelers ontstaat zodra casinotermen door elkaar worden gehaald. De harde waarheid: een crash-spel…
I love brisk walking outdoors, especially in places surrounded by lots of trees and greenery. And apparently, there may be more to it than just getting some exercise, helping you de-stress, and enjoying the scenery. Trees and other plants release natural chemicals called phytoncides. These are volatile compounds that plants produce as part of their…
One of my favourite “desserts” that won’t cause much of a blood sugar rise is… cheese! I actually LOVE those individually wrapped square cheese slices, but they are more processed and can be quite high in sodium and other food additives. So when I buy cheese, I usually go for block cheese with the shortest…
One simple way to help reduce the rise in blood glucose after a meal is to get your muscles moving soon afterwards. You don’t necessarily need to go outdoors for a walk, though it would be great if you can. 5–10 minutes of squats, sit-to-stands or light dumbbell exercises can get your muscles working and…
If you’re a regular shopper on Shopee and Lazada, you’ll know there are sales at least 3 times a month. Minimum! Sometimes even more. There’s the same-digit date sales (9/9, 10/10, 11/11, etc), Mid-Month Sale and Pay Day Sale. And honestly, some things are so much cheaper than what you’ll find in supermarkets and even…
