Here's the Day 7 video. 

Insanity suppose to have off day every week. So the guy is just giving some tips and review on the workout.

But since I'm really eager to workout today, I went to do Day 8 workout.

It's Power and Resistance!!

Got new moves today. My push ups still bad. Weak hand is weak~

Insanity Workout: Day 6 Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Finally I'm on day 6 workout and I'm finally doing it next day!!

Basketball throw~ Tiring after repeat 3.... XD
It's repeating stuff again, but doing more, pushing more!!

Usually for the step that uses your leg to kick and hand movement, I'll add on my light dumbbell to add extra workout for my arm. I need a stronger arm so I can handle my DSLR equip better. :D

Today I wear jacket to workout. My friend said I'm suppose to wear long sleeve stuff so I can heat more, sweat more and burn more calories!!!

The jacket is really thick and I'm sweating bunch during warm up itself! Not bad.
Also I off my fan so its more heating. I make a mistake by switching on the fan for my past few rounds of workout. oTL

The only thing I hate about this jacket is that all the cotton coming out (its new jacket!).
Today will wear black shirt then... and my hand looks like got some decease or something.. =_=


Day 6 photo~

Insanity Workout: Day 5 Pure Cardio

Day 5 now! Must really pull myself to workout more RAWR!!!

So far I'm LOVING this workout. Because:
- I can do inside my room (no need worry about haze, and I hate jogging)
- Can do at night when I came back from work
- Its easy and simple (minus the insane part)
- No gym equipment needed
- No special must-eat product


So today is Pure Cardio.
I saw the title I abit scared already haha. XD

Whenever I do workout I'll keep remind myself: No pain, no gain
and also "what didn't kill you makes you stronger"

GO GO GO!!!

Burpee workout is so crazy... I usually have to pause for abit on repeat 3 cause my leg is really sore and my arms are unable to push down for another inch.. My horrible arm strength. T^T

It's also a very new experience to me that even doing the leg stretching and simple steps can make your legs trembling and cannot move anymore.


End of Day 5. Finally another photo of my fat fat tummy~ D:

CosTest: Nanase Haruka from FREE! Iwatobi Swimming Club

Costume arrived and costest hurhurhur >D

I'm suppose to cosplay Nagisa Hazuki, but bcoz I haven't style the wig yet so I test Haruka first la hahaha. Ok, because this is my real hair now, it seems like I look quite ok as him woh, just need trim hair abit can cos him liao haha. XD

Really love the jacket, its very thick, and hot too. D:

Insanity Workout: Day 4 Cardio Recovery

Today suppose to be just recovery from the past 3 days of workout (according to the video).
But because I'm overly busy as usual I can't even fork out even half hour to do it.. *sad max*

As you can see from the video, your body suppose to be sore all over the body and the workout is relaxing, stretching. Which is totally cool! Despite of the title : Insanity, it really does calculated that your body will sore and so added in cool down days for your body to rest and recover before going on more intensed workout.

So if your body is all sore and tired, following the workout every single day is totally possible. But if you're ever busy like me, take actual days off are fine as well (which is what i usually do when doing heavy exercise). But after 4 days of following the programme, I guess whenever possible I'll do this daily. :D

Today didn't take photo cause after the workout I went straight to farewell dinner to my great friend that flying off to Japan the next day~

Insanity Workout: Day 3 Cardio Power And Resistance

Today a little intensed.

It's all about power and pain!!

The burpee workout is .. uhh PAIN weh. T_T
Burpee is the one drop down on floor, jumps back, push ups, runs, then jumps up. Repeat.

But I really like how the warming up goes. It's about 10 mins, you'll really sweat and its just some simple steps. Then some harder one, and the actual workout, then warming down.

So far I'm following the workout well (I guess).


Somehow I don't have photo recorded for today workout. D:
Will make sure I have it taken orz... (sometime is my phone problem.. T^T )

Deactivated FB

Had too much stressed, frustration and tired from it, deactivated my FB for awhile.

I know I having tons of CF Mini stuff to settle.

I even have a photoshoot this weekend.

but I'll just be out for abit now, I'll be back to settle them, but for now best is for me to stay out of this until I feel better.

The sudden emotional breakdown before birthday, every year also the same.

I hate this so much.

FML.

=================
Dammit, force to open the FB, due to I have too many things involved me, and also I started too many thread.. =_=

Never mind, I leave it open, but I won't go in. Go in also just to settle CF Mini stuff.

I shall close it after CF Mini is done.

Insanity Workout: Day 2 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Here I am again, late.. even after the first day workout.. ... oTL
Really can't bring myself to do it cause I'm too busy settling event stuff coming up soon. And I did badminton and swimming on Sunday that I'm totally exhausted and body sore the next day... T^T

So today continue again~ Day 2!!

Today is kinda ok, just chilling up~

Keep your pace and go on~


Day 2 workout photo~
Being too thin is, you can hardly see obvious result like the guy in vid did.
Maybe after 3 weeks can see better result. :D

Badminton and Swimming day!!

Its a Sunday afternoon! Its a hot day! Its a SWIMMING day!

Went to friend's BBQ party and there's a nice pool! Let's jump in!!

Jumps into pool and successfully swim breaststroke in 1st try. O_O
Manage to do freestyle too. O_O
I'm a horrible swimmer and ears got water went in.. so its very.. weird now XD
swim for 1.5 hrs and hand so sore now... morning already did 2 hours of badminton orz... *dies*

Insanity Workout: Day 1 - Fit Test.

I'm so curious with Insanity workout that my friends mentioned few weeks ago. And finally I had gotten myself to do it~

I'm following this guy's workout video. Basically I downloaded the video then play it at home and workout. :D

2nd test result (done within 1 hour after the 1st trial test)

1. switch kicks: 100 kicks 50 reps
2. power jacks : 56
3. power knees : 72
4. power jumps : 20
5. globe jumps : 10
6. suicide jumps : 15
7. push-up jacks : 20
8. low plank ob lique : 50

Manage to get double of my first trial (cause i dint know its a just a fit test, i dint try hard enough on first try. XD)

My review for day 1: Its totally doable, at time such as doing the power jumps, its quite killing. Lost your breath, coughing abit, feels like dying. This is what it meant by INSANITY~ But hey, no pain no gain right? :D

No worries if you're not the exercise type, just try to push yourself the best you can, after few weeks, test yourself on the fit test again and see how much improvement you have gotten. :D



Just attach a photo of my first day, see how it is after 60 days.

Minions!

so everyone in my country and Singapore is crazy over the minion toys from McDonald's Happy Meal.

Apparently there're tons of idiots went to chiong and buy and resell to others. So many drama on this plastic toy... *facepalm*  ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ

This is taken at 9.30am when the shop just opened and the queque is there, though not long compare to others but I really lazy to waste 1.5hr just to get the toys...

 Good thing is, colleagues giving out free meals as they all bought 4 sets and can't finish it. XD

And lucky me manage to buy off the toy from my colleague who bought extra. Finally another yellow member join in the army! :D

Don't get me wrong, I really extremely love minions, just that it is too hard to get 1.. My favourite is Tim but sold out super fast... T_T

But Stuart is fine, at least got giggles haha ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

Anticipated for next week free food again ＼（Ｔ∇Ｔ）／

Sick and broken Thermometer

So I was having mild fever last night, as I was doing second heat test with thermometer, I dropped and broke it. =_=
Is already having headache by the fever, need to clean up the spilled mercury. uhh

Today go check up some article about how to clean up mercury, I hope I clean them nicely. And hope I din't inhale too much of the mercury, as I dint know it'll vaporize.. O_O

Since its about mercury spill cleaning, I should attach some useful article about cleaning them.

Guys, be careful with thermometer k!
=====================

Cleaning Up Spills

What Never to Do After a Mercury Spill

• Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up mercury. The vacuum will put mercury into the air and increase exposure.
• Never use a broom to clean up mercury. It will break the mercury into smaller droplets and spread them.
• Never pour mercury down a drain. It may lodge in the plumbing and cause future problems during plumbing repairs. If discharged, it can cause pollution of the septic tank or sewage treatment plant.
• Never wash clothing or other items that have come in direct contact with mercury in a washing machine, because mercury may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage. Clothing that has come into direct contact with mercury should be discarded. By "direct contact," we mean that mercury was (or has been) spilled directly on the clothing, for example, if you break a mercury thermometer and some of elemental mercury beads came in contact with your clothing.
• Never walk around if your shoes might be contaminated with mercury. Contaminated clothing can also spread mercury around.

Top of page

What to Do if a Mercury Thermometer Breaks

NOTE: these instructions also apply to spills from other sources, if the amount spilled is less than or similar to the amount in a thermometer (see specific information about how to clean up broken fluorescent bulbs)

• Have everyone else leave the area; don't let anyone walk through the mercury on their way out. Make sure all pets are removed from the area. Open all windows and doors to the outside; shut all doors to other parts of the house.
• DO NOT allow children to help you clean up the spill.
• Mercury can be cleaned up easily from the following surfaces: wood, linoleum, tile and any similarly smooth surfaces.
• If a spill occurs on carpet, curtains, upholstery or other absorbent surfaces, these contaminated items should be thrown away in accordance with the disposal means outlined below. Only cut and remove the affected portion of the contaminated carpet for disposal.

Items needed to clean up a small mercury spill

1. 4-5 ziplock-type bags
2. trash bags (2 to 6 mils thick)
3. rubber, nitrile or latex gloves
4. paper towels
5. cardboard or squeegee
6. eyedropper
7. duct tape, or shaving cream and small paint brush
8. flashlight
9. powdered sulfur (optional)

Cleanup Instructions

1. Put on rubber, nitrile or latex gloves.
2. If there are any broken pieces of glass or sharp objects, pick them up with care. Place all broken objects on a paper towel. Fold the paper towel and place in a zip lock bag. Secure the bag and label it as directed by your local health or fire department.
3. Locate visible mercury beads. Use a squeegee or cardboard to gather mercury beads. Use slow sweeping motions to keep mercury from becoming uncontrollable. Take a flashlight, hold it at a low angle close to the floor in a darkened room and look for additional glistening beads of mercury that may be sticking to the surface or in small cracked areas of the surface. Note: Mercury can move surprising distances on hard-flat surfaces, so be sure to inspect the entire room when "searching."
4. Use the eyedropper to collect or draw up the mercury beads. Slowly and carefully squeeze mercury onto a damp paper towel. Place the paper towel in a zip lock bag and secure. Make sure to label the bag as directed by your local health or fire department.
5. After you remove larger beads, put shaving cream on top of small paint brush and gently "dot" the affected area to pick up smaller hard-to-see beads. Alternatively, use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments. Place the paint brush or duct tape in a zip lock bag and secure. Make sure to label the bag as directed by your local health or fire department.
6. OPTIONAL STEP: It is OPTIONAL to use commercially available powdered sulfur to absorb the beads that are too small to see. The sulfur does two things: (1) it makes the mercury easier to see since there may be a color change from yellow to brown and (2) it binds the mercury so that it can be easily removed and suppresses the vapor of any missing mercury. Where to get commercialized sulfur? It may be supplied as mercury vapor absorbent in mercury spill kits, which can be purchased from laboratory, chemical supply and hazardous materials response supply manufacturers.
   Note: Powdered sulfur may stain fabrics a dark color. When using powdered sulfur, do not breathe in the powder as it can be moderately toxic. Additionally, users should read and understand product information before use.
7. If you choose not to use this option, you may want to request the services of a contractor who has monitoring equipment to screen for mercury vapors. Consult your local environmental or health agency to inquire about contractors in your area. Place all materials used with the cleanup, including gloves, in a trash bag. Place all mercury beads and objects into the trash bag. Secure trash bag and label it as directed by your local health or fire department.
8. Contact your local health department, municipal waste authority or your local fire department for proper disposal in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
9. Remember to keep the area well ventilated to the outside (i.e., windows open and fans in exterior windows running) for at least 24 hours after your successful cleanup. Continue to keep pets and children out of cleanup area. If sickness occurs, seek medical attention immediately. View information on health effects related to exposures to vapors from metallic mercury. For additional information on health effects, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) provides a Mercury Fact Sheet  that also presents information on health effects related to exposures to vapors from metallic mercury.

Recommendation: If there are young children or pregnant women in the house, seek additional advice from your local or state health or state environmental agency.

Spills of More than the Amount in a Thermometer, but Less Than or Similar to Two Tablespoons (One Pound)

Cleanup Instructions

1. Have everyone else leave the area; don't let anyone walk through the mercury on their way out.
2. Open all windows and doors to the outside.
3. Turn down the temperature.
4. Shut all doors to other parts of the house, and leave the area.
Don't vacuum.
5. Call your local or state health or environmental agency.

Top of page

Spills of One Pound or More (i.e., if it Looks like Two Tablespoons or More)

Any time one pound or more of mercury is released to the environment, it is mandatory to call the National Response Center (NRC). The NRC hotline operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (800) 424-8802. Note that because mercury is heavy, only two tablespoons of mercury weigh about one pound.

Song recommendation: 李佳薇 煎熬

Went with Shio 2 weeks back to chiong K after her Ultimate song finals so sing "Mission Imcomplete". She also ordered to sing Jess Lee's Suffering. That time I was totally amazed by how awesome Shio's vocal and also the song had attracted me so much.

The MV fully describe how much a girl suffered in a relationship, after all the things given to the partner, but still got dump away. And then how she suffered, how much it feels like dying, and how she manage to step out from it, reborn anew.

It described me quite a lot. T^T


I just got to share it, this amazing piece. But the MV version might be disturbing to some audience, please proceed with care. Otherwise the first link (just song) would be great.

Jess Lee's voice is awesome. :D
