i want to just be me

Why Singapore?

i was born in a little town called Seligenstadt about half an hour from Frankfurt, Germany. Even before i could walk my parents decided to take me on a roller coaster ride and travel the world. My family moved to Hong Kong followed by Beijing and several other cities until we reached Singapore when i was 8.

I have called Singapore my home for the last 13 years and i love this little tropical island for all its uniqueness and character. What’s so different about Singapore? Let me tell you, A LOT!

Starting from the food obsessed population of Singaporeans, to the sunny and humid climate and the endless hours you can spend here shopping, Singapore has a lot to offer to its citizens and tourists.If you ever plan on visiting this little island feel free to contact me about the ‘must do’s’ when visiting Singapore.

Since February 2010 I have been living in Germany, Trier with my aunts and uncle due to health reasons. I am looking forward to going back to University in October 2011 hopefully in Munich.

Food

After many years of having an unhealthy and distorted view about what food is and how we all need food to survive, i am finally trying to find a healthy balance in my life with food.

i love eating, tasting new dishes, exploring new flavors and discovering new and unknown food from all over the world. There are no bad or good foods in my life, everything should be about moderation. I listen to my body and i know that it will tell me what it needs and craves right now. Fighting craving leads to temptations and obsessions, however giving  in to a craving leaves me with all the peace i need to rest peacefully inside my body.

If you want to know more about the food i eat, the flavors i enjoy head over to my tasty world side where i will post some of my favorite meals.

Yoga

When i first started Yoga i thought, No way this is not for me. Way too slow! However it was these slow movements and the time where i had to be still with myself that i found myself. I learned to breathe through tough situations, deal with stressful things and most importantly to stop comparing myself to others around me. My body was created for me and no one else. I don’t need to live up to some ideal, its okay for me to just be me.

These are some processes that have come into action after i started practicing Yoga on a regular base. I usually only do 20-30 min 2-3 times a week but that’s all i need now. Maybe someday i will do more or less. I don’t know. I will let me body guide me to where it wants to be. Yoga is my ‘Me time’. Time where everything is about Me as a person and not about anything else.

 

Health

I have been diagnosed with Lymphocytic Colitis which has made the last 4 years of my life a huge challenge. I have to deal with a lot of gastric distress and discomfort and try my best to work my life around it. I quit my university degree in order to get healthy before I put my body through even more stress at this time. I try my best to listen to my body and respect it for its condition and accept that I right now can not live the life of a normal 22-year-old student. My life is a little more relaxed and easy but certainly not boring
