Ballet Beautiful

Do you exercise? Workout? Sweat a bit? Wish to have lean and toned muscles so that you would look great in any dresses you put them on? 

I am not sure with you but I really want those pretty toned, feminine figure!! In fact, exercise is important to keep and maintain our body at a healthy weight. 

Sometimes I feel guilty of indulging too much, pretend to forget those calories intake and continue to sit in front of the computer after every meal - look at those bulging tummy and fats accumulated! =="

I used to dance a lot, sweat and feel good after that. Thanks to the release of endorphins.  Lately, I have been lazy for a bit and I told myself in order to maintain those lean body, it is time to move my butt and do something!

This is cute but sorry not really nice figure! LOL 

 I googled for some ballet-inspired workout because  I missed those strong yet graceful physique ever since I stopped ballet. I then found Mary Helen Bowers of Ballet Beautiful. 

She is a professional ballerina and celebrity fitness guru who mixes the athleticism and grace of classical ballet with exercises and stretches that sculpt a dancer's toned, lean physique. 

I got to know this from her website that she personally trained Natalie Portman for her Academy Award-winning role in Black Swan. I also want le.. She is so graceful!!

My ballet teacher used to say to me that I have nice arabesque especially the one with one leg in plie :-D Dont think mine is as good as her.. (She's a professional) not sure if I can still do it now, but I wanna have them back! At least, whenever we are performing, we have the stamina and strength!! 

Go check her YouTube. You can do this at your own pace - when watching tv or anytime.By spending some time for this simple workout, you gonna be pleased with the outcome soon :-D 

Happy Workout!! 

Simply Irresistible

I had yogurt parfait at The Mug Shot last Tuesday. Some what rare cos I usually won't be heading to cafe especially right after work. Moreover, it's not even Friday! 

It just happened because I was craving for my all time favourite 'Wan Tan Mee' He brought me to town just to taste the flavorsome noodles. Yes! It was very good indeed - the noodles and also the company! 😊

This is jackfruit with gula melaka yogurt. Yummy max 😊 

On Wednesday morning, my sis made me this burger stuffed eggs with sausages. 

The following morning, she made me her signature pasta 😊

The picnic meal after hiking. 

The delicatessen specialist of the day is really thoughtful. He ensured the sandwiches would taste good by putting together the sandwich fillings and sealed it to keep them fresh for as long as possible. He actually creatively designed the menu several days earlier and tested them several times before he finally put everything best together for this homemade sandwiches! <3

These could be little things to some but am feeling so loved already. 

If you ever prepares food, put them on my cube or even given me finger foods, coffee latte sachets or just anything edible from your travels, I love them because I know you think of me.. (only if I acknowledged them)  Hahahaha!! 

Thank you to all the lovely people of my life :-D

Korea With Love, Jeju Island Part 3

It's been a while...since my last update on Korea trip. Few friends were asking when am I going to complete sharing Korea trip since I am not posting anything much of other social network! LOLOL!! I prefer to share them in blogsphere and then reminisced those moments.   

So now, here you go.. my final post on JEJU Island!! 

O'Sulloc Green Tea Ice-Cream

Where ever we go and have green tea ice-cream, they obviously taste the same but having it at a different place makes the difference! Because I am having it at Jeju Island, so I must say they taste super good la!! LOL!! 

Us, at the O'Sulloc Tea Museum 

Moving around in our rented car! FREE WIFI is almost everywhere! One of the many reasons why I major love Korea! 

The beautiful view of Jeju Island

We drove around and stop by whenever we found eye catching views. 

Panorama view of Jeju Island

We had a tea-break here at 'Stay with Coffee'. May not be a coffee lover myself but the environment is worth the visit. Too bad no cute Korean boy to serve us at that time! LOL Else I will ask travel mate to stay a little longer.. :P

The super bitter coffee that turns icy cold in seconds! OKOK..Sounds exaggerating.. In minutes probably.. :P

We even went to Innisfree Jeju House to take a break from the mundane routine and enjoy nature. Super love their 'loving the environment' concept. The picture above is where we can DIY our own soaps with all natural ingredients. I didn't try them though but bought some green tea and soy latte for souvenirs and for myself too!! <3 <3 <3 AND bought lots of innisfree products!! :-D 

We went here - Yongmeori Coast hoping to catch some nice view of rock formations in Jeju Island. Too bad it was high tide when we visited and we were not allowed to enter Yongmeori costline. :-(

Never mind!! We headed to feast instead! This is one of our dinner that night. Guess what??!! We had a back-to back dinner. We wanted to try the famous fresh abalone and also black pork as recommended by travel guide book and even our guest house host told us the same thing!! 真的好好吃哦！！

Had together with this fish and my favourite rice. I don't know what's this fish it's called. As long as it taste good!LOL!!

If you are heading to Jeju Island and wanted to try this restaurant, check out their phone number. You can key in this number to their GPS and it will lead you to the location. This meal were not that expensive. If I still remembered correctly, it cost three of us Won14900. 

Our second dinner!!! Was a bit full at that time so we just had the famous black pork with vegetables! Just no rice..

Mouth watering meal... Thanks for making me gained 2 kgs in just 13 days!! LOL

I am not a pork lover but I still missed this.. Can you imagine how good they tasted??!! 

I kept repeating I am full on that night but my mouth is still on 'Nom Nom Nom' HAHAHAH

Selfie with the food on table!! We hang out at the restaurant making friends with the restaurant owner - a couple (wife from China and hubby is a local). They were asking for information around KL as they would be coming over for some short courses learning languages. :-D 

Here's the shop location!! After meal, we headed back to guest house. Need to start packing and leaving this nature ground! Going off to Seoul. 

The next morning, we walked around the nearby market before returning our rented car and headed to airport. 

Showing you the many free wifi available at the airport! HAHA..
