Adelaide pics 'n' Singapore humidity...

I'm back in my beautiful Singapore having returned from Australia.

Here's a few picks from my last few days in Adelaide...

Of course, we did the mandatory tourist stuff....

feeding the kangaroos and waking up the sleepy koalas ;-)

We did manage a visit to a vineyard...Napenthe

and I will post about the tasting experience in a later post ;-)

I've got a couple of moans about being in Oz and leaving Singapore.... Firstly, the dry-ness of it's climate played havoc with my skin :-( I'm pretty sure my skin prefers the Singapore humidity....I had to make a few moisture product purchases ;-)

Secondly, I ate way to much! I'm a little bit weight obsessed...and getting back from hols I really did have to be brave before setting foot on the weight scales :-(

If anyone thought it impossible to put 3.5kg (7.7lb) on in just 9 days then I have totally proved them wrong :-( now weighing almost 57kg I feel extremely enormous :-(

Easter break with all those chocolate eggs is over...time to give up on the chocolate (again) and get fit 'n' looking positively fab for summer ;-) yes, yes I agree, easier said than done, but, I'm going to give it a go...

"Let's get ******* skinny!"



So, I've decided no more cheating and using the car for little trips... I'm walking and/or taking the MRT...I promise to keep it up ;-)

My inspiration is coming from these pics from Rihanna's Facebook page...

 

 

isn't she stunningly beautiful and her body is sooooo fabulous ;-)

I'll be buying a white bikini as soon as I get such a toned bod

(yeah, yeah we all can dream! ;-))

So, after the dry skin incident in Oz, I thought I should get regular facials but, these facials are way too pricey.  I decided to treat my skin to some wonderful potions...

Next post to include my trip to the Astalift store and a cheeky buy with gift from Clinique ;-)) AND reviews on some Garnier goodies inspired by Mel's recent purchase SEE HERE AND...my April BellaBox has just arrived :-)) yeah!

kisses 'n' smiles from me xx ;-)

Easter holiday 'n' Cadbury's eggs...

Right now I'm on holiday with Mr Man and my 2 boys :-) its Easter holiday break from school. Please excuse my layout issue and lack of photos but keeping the blog updated via my iPad is a little more complicated than it should be! Where are we? Well, I have been here to this country and city before but my little family was even 'littler' back then! So, when we were here in Adelaide almost 9 years ago it was just me and Mr Man with my biggest boy...oh, I was carrying a little baby bump too, with little boy being due into the world 3 months later...;-) Flying to Adelaide with Qantas and, of course, flying out of Singapore from Changi was a good experience all round. Qantas, pretty good...although economy class through the night is never a 'wonderful' experience this was not too 'nasty'. My boys slept fairly well, no rowdy folks onboard to disturb us all, I managed to see a movie and good coffee served close to landing just to give that caffeine boast needed to deal with any airport chaos! Anything to declare? Actually, yes, I'd like to declare that your sniffer dogs are extremely gorgeous and I have 2 chocolate Easter eggs in my luggage ;-) ah yes, food is not readily permitted into Australia but declaring the goodies, if those goodies are pretty standard items 'usually' sees you ushered through customs. I think the customs guy actually thought I was crazy given the Cadbury eggs were no doubt imported to Singapore from Australia in the first place! Ah well, sure my boys will be smiling come Easter Sunday ;-) Happy Easter break to everyone 'n' enjoy all the Easter fun. kisses 'n' smiles from me xx ;-)
