Instagram With Me

  • Take this as your daily PSA to take SOME time, however short, to work on you and your mental and physical health. ❤️ —————— I was feeling so guilty about not working out for a whole week (because somehow when I got leaner from London I have this mental pressure to keep getting skinnier, which is WRONG!), until @feelfitfactory UTTERLY broke me down. 🙂🙏🏻 It was 1.5 hours of feeling my chest about to cave in that I realized how much stress and strain I’ve been putting my body through NOT working out. Crazy right? I realized when I take time to work out I’m MAKING time to train, to do good to my body. But when I don’t workout, when I stress eat, when I don’t sleep enough and I feel like shit - I know I’m not treating myself well at all. Sometimes all it takes is to flip the script to give yourself a reason to take breaks and go to that class or just sit down to meditate. Ahhh, the more you know. —————— Also shout out to the instructor (sorry I forgot to ask your name and it took too long and it became weird. But it was such a good workout, I learnt so much! Can’t wait to come back with @zarahtang 🤗) #休息是為了走更長的路
  • No alcohol or vanilla scented cloud to breathe in, but still a fun look into the world of ice cream 🍨 most strikingly, it was a self-made woman who first published the recipe for ice cream cones and created an empire of churning machines, ingredients and cook books. But because her husband failed to continue the business after her untimely death (fallen off a horse at age 49), Agnes Marshall has all but been forgotten as the Queen of Ices.
  • Oysters shucked right in front of your face - one of the many things I’m craving right now. 😋 #lategram
  • Living my best Pinterest life with these beautiful humans ❤️ missing London and the amazing weather already (especially with the miserable T1 weather here 🌪) | 📷: @coppaclub team member with @gabriellesalonga’s editing
  • YOU. ALL. SWIPE THIS RN. if you’re going to London you HAVE to go to @1rebeluk. I went via @classpass (first week free!) when I was visiting London and they are legit insane. 😭 aka miles better than HK gyms. —————— If they didn’t win me over with intense workouts (choose from treadmill-floor-switching workouts or spinning), they knocked me out with a shake and chilled scented towels post-workout. Go for the workout, stay for the amenities (hello ironing board?!). I also can’t wait to go back and try their spinning auditorium lol (check out their profile and find it). —————— ALSO they have straighteners in most gyms wtf lol. I’m deceased bye. ALSO I WASNT SPONSORED FOR THIS OKAY. bai 🙂
