Say Bye Bye to Flabby Arms - Video


FG美人教室/ 甩肉不求人!Linda5招瘦手臂




『掰掰肉』一直困擾著許多美眉們,
只要一不留神,手臂肥肉就開始放肆的生長,
Lidna親自示範,私房瘦手臂的妙招,
讓你不用花錢,也能擁有漂亮線條。

● 瘦手臂 Tip1. 手握啞鈴向後伸展 道具:啞鈴(約1磅)或600c.c.保特瓶 手握啞鈴或保特瓶,向上高舉過頭, 手臂貼緊耳朵,然後緩緩往後腦勺伸展, 動作的同時,要保持手肘不動,下臂重覆上下動作, 讓上臂感覺輕微痠痠的即可。 提醒你,這個動作的重點要慢, 而不是講求快速激烈, 否則,很容易弄巧成拙, 變成金剛芭比喔!

● 瘦手臂 Tip2. 高舉手臂 延展上臂內側肌肉 將右手臂高舉,下臂與頭平行, 接著用左手壓著右手臂的肘關節, 讓手碰到背部肩胛骨, 也可以搭配身體彎曲伸展, 就可運動到側面與手臂內側的肌肉囉! 這個動作,記得左右交替著做唷!

● 瘦手臂 Tip3. 空掌拍手臂 刺激肌肉放鬆 用空掌拍上手臂,也就是掰掰肉的位置, 這個動作可刺激淋巴作用, 讓肌肉放鬆,並軟化脂肪, 避免掰掰肉的成生!

● 瘦手臂 Tip4. 兩臂平伸畫圈 訓練肌耐力 兩臂平伸,掌心向外,與手臂呈90度畫圓。 這個動作的重點在於, 一邊畫圓,還要將手臂打直, 雙手由兩側畫圓到胸前, 需用手臂的力量而不是手掌, 就可訓練到手臂的肌耐力與線條唷!

● 瘦手臂 Tip5. 手臂扶住椅子 身體向下蹲 手臂扶住椅子,雙腳與肩同寬, 身體慢慢向下蹲,呈半蹲狀態, 讓手保持90度,注意不可蹲更低, 以免鍛練到不正確的肌肉, 反而沒有漂亮的線條, 得到的只是...一塊塊的肌肉喔!

想要擁有完美手臂線條,
只要記得Linda傳授的小秘訣,
妳也可以勇敢舉手說bye bye囉

加護亜依 Kago Ai hospitalised after suicide attempt :(


" TOKYO: Ai Kago, a former member of the Japanese girl group Morning Musume, was hospitalized after attempting to take her own life on Sunday and is now out of danger, reported Japanese media. "


Kago Ai, also known as Aibo, is one of my favourite Jpop artiste after I got to know about Morning Musume and WShe was involved in a underage smoking scandal and also being involved with a older guy who was 37 yrs in 2006 and subsequently she was totally out of the Hello-Project. She is one year younger than me. I really love her when she was younger, she is totally the most kawaii artiste personality I ever seen. 
After the scandal she has grown up and change into a more mature lady but it seems like her life is not smooth sailing. She did 2 photobooks if I'm not wrong and are both semi-nude, which I don't like because it kinds of destroys the pure and adorable image I have of her. But I guess maybe this is kind of a way for her to show that she is grown up and no longer the cute Aibon in Morning Musume. Still I think she is talented and beautiful and I hope she will treasure her life and what she have. 


W (ダブルユー) or Double U (Kago Ai aka Aibon and Nozomi Tsuji aka Nono)
 
Picture from

Many of you may not know Kago Ai (left in the picture), who used to be from the 4th generation of Morning Musume girls group. She and Nozomi Tsuji formed a duo group named W aka Double U after they graduated from Morning Musume. It's a bit confusing... Morning Musume has a few subgroups created by the producer Tsunku =, Kago Ai was in Tanpopo and Mini Moni group too when she was in Morning Musume. The detailed information can be found in Wikipedia. I love Kago Ai and W especially, I think Nono and Ai chan is really a formidable, super duper talented and cute together. And it is known that the 2 girls are like sisters and really have 'Mo Qi' or in English - Tacit Understanding or good rapport with each other. When I was in secondary school I got introduced to Morning Musume's songs,  which the very 1st song I heard was the 'Love Machine' 

This was the song by the 3rd generation of Morning Musume.  Kago Ai and Nono is not in this song because they have not joined the group yet. They are the 4th generation.

Another very cute video of the early MM .... Titled : Ai no Dance Site



And another favourite song here......




And this is another my favourite MV of MM with cute Aibon and Nono in it! 

And here's a sad song about Mother by MM. Titled: Furusato (Hometown) I like the tune.


Okay here's another video of Kago Ai in the group TanPoPo... I love this MV! Brings back the memories of the teenage days when I just saw this cute video...


And finally... One of the many nice W's song!  Titled: Miss Love Tantei (detective).



Aren't they kawaii!

Here's a cute video of Kago Learning English 



And here is a amazing feat by Ai chan and Tsuji san , a Guinness World Record, pls watch!



I really wish they had produced more W songs before Ai chan left the company.... They are really perfect as a pair together.... 

Ai chan ganbatte ne! Treasure your life and live it to the fullest!

Love from Melbourne, Part 2 - Random Stuff

Dearfairygodmother,

Here is the 2nd post as promised.

I found some of the pretty sky photos that I didn't manage to find while creating the last post, I really want to share them here:

This was early in the morning when I woke up to hot air balloons floating by... But my window was misty and iPhone's camera can't really zoom in...but it was a thrill to see them :) (the balloon is the tiny speck of dot on the right hand side of the pic near the building)




 These photos were taken from my room windows when it was real gloomy and looked like it was going to rain





Found another rainbow pic in my drive. 


Can you spot the airplane in the picture above and below? :)


There'a actually a black kite in the picture here; above the tree






Here's a pic taken on the way home from school in the bus. Beautiful sunset colours!

Sorry if you are bored of all these photos, but I really love clouds and skies.... And now the worst thing that could have happened is that in our hostel we were forced to move down from Level 5 to Level 2.... "Downgrade" because they are converting the existing Level 4 and above to all hotel rooms instead of mix hostel-hotel rooms on those levels. Uber sad because we couldn't get suitable rooms with good views. Now the view outside of my window are trees and a tent just right below me with people smoking underneath that tent from time to time. I never pull up my blinds ever again now, no more good sky views for me. 

Yep... so now on to ... More food pictures? In the previous post I organised the content under nice headings under 'Weather' and 'Food' but I realised most of my pictures are about these 2 only. -.-" So I shall not bother organising the content... 

Here's a picture of what my SO brought over for me when he came to visit during the school break
1 packet of Nissin Instant Mug Noodles, 1 packet full of Furikake toppings for rice, 1 packet of kawaii Rilakkuma biscuit sticks, 2 precious packets of Bee Cheng Hiang Pork Floss! All sponsored by sweet friends Shin san and gf JH san.<3
SO bought instant Miso packets for me too.... Isn't in the picture. 

Especially the pork floss, I believe Bee Cheng Hiang pork floss is not available in Melbourne. When I have nothing to eat, I sometimes would just eat the pork floss alone by itself 'cause it is so nice. XD 

Okay and on April 29 2011 England Prince William and Kate Middleton got married, my friends and I gathered in my tiny room to watch the live telecast of the wedding in London. It was so exciting for me, because I have always been fascinated by the the idea of Prince and Princess like most little girls (I presume), and yeah my SO name happens to be William too (super common name). And I like Princess Diana, with influence from my mum who likes her. And I think the ring that Princess Diana chose for herself the sapphire stone with diamonds surrounding it is so cool.... and it's so sweet that Prince William proposed to Kate with his mother's ring! I swear I want a proposal ring that has a beautiful sapphire stone too and not the boring one round diamond that every other girls have ( no offence to anyone it's my personal opinion ;) , and I actually have the tiny round one from him for 21st birthday already thus yeah no need bigger one!)  

Here's a picture of the ring from this person's blog.... Nice post on the ring! :)


So like 1 or 2 months later when I was at the Aussie Post office with my friend I saw this.... and bought it!


Isn't this so cool! Although I'm not a stamp collector (my Uncle used to be a real avid stamp collector I have seen his albums of stamps from all over the world when I went to Grandma's house last time) , I wanted to own this and keep pass down to my grandchildren! Haha... I wished I was studying in England at times like my colleague who is there for 2 years. I didn't ask my friend to help me buy the stamps from England though, I think the Aussie version is as good la. :D

I want to share this with you all.... Eggs with Smiley faces printed on them! How cute! Some observations of the eggs in OZ. They are placed in the refrigerated sections of the market (unlike Singapore?), and they a a lot of brands (home brands and others), and there is like different sizes of the eggs: Large (600g), XL(700g) , and there is free range and caged eggs choices. The very 1st egg that I cracked in OZ, had double yolks in it! My friends and I thought that all eggs in OZ were like that and went "Wow". But subsequently, we discovered that it wasn't the case after we bought a few more boxes. Well, I guess that's call 'Beginner's Luck' huh. Haha... 

I love to post more stuff but it's 3am again now I better stop blogging already. It's so difficult to backdate and post everything that has happened for the past few months in 2 short posts. That is the problem with not doing work on a timely basis and compromises the quality of the work also. Especially for school work. :X If you are studying, study hard and don't be a procrastinator like me!
