Ever since returning from my KK trip, my gungho-ness to workout seems to have dwindled. I’ve been trying to pinpoint the cause of this and I’ve come to realise that it it’s due to the short hours of sleep and lack of rest throughout the past couple of weeks.

Something was bound to give way and yes, something did give way. I’ve been feeling lethargic (but unable to sleep!!) since last week and my energy level seems to have depleted. These are actually symptoms of overtraining but looking at my recent workouts (which haven’t been very frequent) I’ll just self-diagnose myself as having lack of rest :p

Anyway, I’ve come to a decision whereby I won’t practise Crossfit on an almost daily basis. Instead, I’ve decided to incorporate yoga and running (for real this time…..well, fingers crossed :p) into my fitness regime. Haven’t worked out a schedule so for now, I’ll just go with what my body feels like on the day itself.

Having said that, below’s what I did during the weekend :p

This was not a good day. I tried doing the WOD for 26th, thinking that my shoulder had fully healed. After completing the first round, I could feel the pain on my left shoulder again and was unable to complete the WOD. FML -_____-”

27062009 (Sat): Attended Ninie’s Hatha Vinyasa class at beyoga.my. My hamstrings are soooo f$*#@ tight that it took A LOTTA effort for me to get into some..no make that most, of the poses. Good class tho :D

28062009 (Sun): Slept 4 hours and woke up in the wee hours of the morning to go for the StanChart KL Marathon. I only did 10km and it took me 1:17 *shy* It’s kinda funny how each time I participate in running events I’ll tell myself “Ok, this time you MUST train” and I just end up not training properly. Had reggae music on my playlist which for some is a bad idea since you need uptempo music to run faster, but it was great for me since all I had on my mind while jogging/walking was ‘Dim sum, dim sum, dim sum’. And yes, we went for dim sum after the run was over. wOOt.

One of the things I love about being a photographer is the fact that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people. This session was no less as I got to meet Anggie and her two boys ;) – her husband William and her adorable son, Jeremy. Anggie contacted me a couple of months back after stumbling upon my blog and we’ve been corresponding since then. 

She had selected the day of her 6th wedding anniversary for the maternity and family portrait session and it was coincidentally, exactly a month before her maternity due date. Our session was done around Taman Tun area and I had a ball throughout the session. Whilst the weather was overcast when we first started shooting, the clouds cleared up when we got to the park and we got some pretty sweet natural light then :) So yay for good weather!

Hey there cute family ;D





Anggie, you’ve got one gorgeous baby bump!


Lil Jeremy is such a happy child – he was smiling throughout the shoot. I like!





Jeremy has already started playing with his little brother :D

Somebody was getting a tad bit tired after a morning of running around ;)

Anggie, William and Jeremy – I had tons of fun during the session and you were an absolute delight to work with. I love how comfortable you all are in front of the camera and just how happy Jeremy is. It’s just great to see how much a child is being showered with love that he’s constantly smiling. And I found it really cute when you two started laughing when I said that we’re reenacting your wedding day poses. Nothing wrong with reliving some memories eh? ;) Have a great week ahead!
