NG FAMILY GONG XI FA CAI!

(SINGAPORE 2011)

Happy Lunar New year of the DRAGON!

Im just about to jump in the shower, getting ready for the Ng family feast! I burned 726kcals earlier in preparation as my little Aunties give me some stiff competition in the Buffet Relay Race! (I have counted 1 Aunty getting up 14 times-Seriously!

The video above is from last years festive and fun times, in the first months of arriving to Asia to live. It was the Year of the Rabbit (which is mine) and I had a great year full of adventures and challenges conquered x Now looking forward to the Prosperous year ahead-Lets get it on! Dragon Year!

Last year I was lucky enough to be part of the 1st ONE Fighting Championships in Singapore, ONE is being hailed as the future of MMA in Asia.

The 2nd event is coming up in Jakarta, Indonesia Feb 11, 2012.

The 3rd is to be held in Singapore on March 31st and amazingly I have again been invited to be part of ONE.

I  Guided the 2 main fighters Phil Baroni and Gregor Gracie for the week ahead of the fight getting a taste of how fighters live, tactical train, eat to meet the weigh in requirements and conserve their energy for the main event.

I took lots of photo’s and videos of the MMA training and behind the scenes prep. I will be posting more as the event approaches

My good Friends Paul Lany Blackwell had an amazing wedding held at a private villa on the coast in Seminyak, and this is what I wore for the hot day to hot dancing night, Ive received many comments as where I bought the shoes and co, so here it is as they are still available on their websites

Coming soon-Im in the middle of editing a video of the magical wedding and will post in the next few days! x

While waiting in UK on Transit for my flight to Asia I was house/Dog sitting for my mum who is recovering from a Broken ankle in Tenerife ;(

Teppanyaki Shogun Sashimi

I’ve lost 3 kg since the Family Christmas/New year holiday yeay! Even thou I was still eating out every night (courtesy of my Amazing brothers and their restaurants) I just picked leaner choices, cut back on the carbs, upped the water, cut out alcohol, and trained everyday.

I love The Fabulous Teppanyaki Restaurant which has amazing Sashimi, I opted for the Shogun mixed platter nearly everyday, as it’s high in protein, good omega fats, and apart from the 4 small pieces of California roll sushi- low in carbs.

You might be thinking whats so wrong with a bit of white rice…well nothing, in moderation but most Sushi Restaurants make their rice with (lots of) sugar to make it bind together and sticky.

Also worth remembering if you have a competition or photo shoot coming up and watching your salt intake, not only is the soya sauce extremely high in sodium (and you have to have soya sauce with Sashimi-it’s a given!) but the fish also contains sodium! So I choose to drop this out of my foods 2 weeks before a big event.
