Ugh I did the thing again where I was busy all week and forgot to post on here. So here’s a lightning fast recap of my workouts from the past week, if you care at all. I actually think I worked out (ish, except Friday kinda) every day which is a first in a while. Bless.

Tues Mar 21 Abs and shopping. I went home after work to get my car so that I could drive to trainings the next two days, but went out to Target as soon as I got home, cause duh. Stupid idea to try on like real clothes tho, my self-conscious ass was like ohhhhh no way you need to tighten up those saddle bags and that back fat before you get any of this. So. I got a crop sweatshirt and athletic leggings, felt bad about myself but hadn’t had dinner, so I went to Wawa. Woof.

3x each 15 reps straight leg raises 15 reps roll ups leaning camel x 45s bird dogs x 45s 60 reps heal touches plank 35s, 40s, 45s 10 reps assisted push up 40 reps russian twists 8# alternating superman 1 min 15 reps single leg pulses

Wed Mar 22 Run on the trail after this horrific training class in which I was literally the only student for an all day session. And I had to go back the next day 😩 went to Marshall’s before my run to see if I could find any cold weather gear bc I only had my sweatshirt, gloves, wool earwarmers, and thin leggings. Didn’t find any of that, but got those AMAZING NEON PINK LEGGINGS IN THAT ONE PICTURE and some other ones too. You know me, can’t stay away from that athleisure ish.

It was hella freezing and took me so long to warm up once I started on the trail. Fortunately it was so picturesque and my music was bangin so. I survived.

2.78 mi 9'55" min / mi

Thurs Mar 23 6 x 200m sprints on the trail. Bless up, convinced my instructor to finish early bc tbh he was not really all that helpful once I started following the book that was included, so I went to the mall and got some more athleisure (deh), cheap sunglasses, athletic ear warmers for $.50 each, a VERY cute lightweight rain jacket, and (!!!!!) these black leather slip-on sneakers I’ve been looking for for like 6 months. I just caved and got the name brand ones but stILl omg I’m so excited about them I finally found them.

Started the sprints in the cotton leggins I was wearing, then after like maybe 9 or 10 strides I was like oh FUCk no they suddenly lost all their elasticity and I was having to pull them up for my life. So after completely embarrassing myself hoisting those mothereffers up for my first sprint, I jumped in the car and changed into spandex pants, then zoomed back to the trail start and actually did my workout. Good thing my house is only 8 minutes away from that part of the trail.

I think I may have mis-read what my Nike app was telling me to do, but I’m pretty sure it said to do 6 x 200m sprints with 4:45 min in between. So that’s essentially what I did, I sprinted for the 200m and ran / jogged in between. Although the app only recorded the distance for the sprints, I wanna say I did a little more than the day before, since I went further on the trail. I hate that you can’t go back and check what it told you to do; you only see how you actually ran according to the app. Lame af. Though I was proud, I increased my sprint speed at almost every length except the 3rd.

0.77mi 6'59" min / mi (lol can’t believe I actually ran a mile faster than that at one point in my life holy shit)

Fri Mar 24 No real workout here, since I had to leave work early to take the train back to le Nova for Palooza. I scarfed down a Snap pizza (the classic spot) right before the show, and somehow stayed away from the dangers of late night college food. Though I did get all my steps in my showing one of our friends’ home friend around campus, and apparently that little tour counted for a nice brisk walk. Obvi the Snovas killed it, as a great opener for what my friends and I dubbed AcaWeekend. Saturday they’d be competing at ICCA regional semifinals #pitchperfect for the first time ever, which was so exciting. Palooza the day before was just their warmup, but fortunately we got to see two new songs from them. It kinda sucked for them though bc they went first out of the seven groups and the sound guys always need a few groups to warm up before they actually refine the balance, and they just sounded muddled. Womp. Oh well. Everyone knows they’re/we’re the best anyway. Proud alum.

Sat Mar 25 Run in the morning before the day’s festivities. This was a quick workout before most of the humans who stayed in my apartment became humans, a brief mile ish to the waterfront and back. I realized I’d been wearing a blueish shirt and black leggings in literally all of my pics lately so I spiced it up with these fun stripey ones. Lol.

We adventured to brunch, where I had a yummy spinach and goat cheese salad with fig dressing, and wandered around the city for the afternoon before we had to head to semis. I splurged on Hunger Burger at RTM because I told myself that this was my indulgence for the weekend, and I wasn’t going to be drinking anymore for the next few months (it’s not like I do it that often anyway, I just want to try it to see how it helps my training/weight loss, if at all), so I got a specialty thin mint shake. Woops. Honestly, it was so worth it though, and I didn’t even end up eating most of the fries anyway, so it wasn’t the worst I could’ve done.

At semis, there were literally so many good groups and we were all like oh shit how are they going to stack up?? But Snovas SLAYED even better than they did last time and ENDED UP IN THIRD PLACE WHICH IS THE CRAZIEST BEST HONOR WE’VE EVER GOTTEN AND IT’S JUST SO COOL!!!!! A cappella is the shit, guys, I swear. I’m so proud of those kiddos, and they get to submit a wildcard video for a chance at Finals in NYC which is like legitimately insane. They’re somewhere in the top 18-27 groups in the country right now, and coming from a school where we legit don’t have music majors and a joke of a music activities staff / support, this coulD NOT be cooler. They murdered it. And so did all the other groups at semis, like damn. We weren’t even sure anything was gonna happen for them, but they clearly did some things right. Ugh so obvi we celebrated when we got back to Philly, going to a few bars and ending up at Frankford, where we got some amazing soft pretzels and other snacks. Best day ever.

1.26 mi 9'21" min / mi

1.32 mi 10'03" min / mi

Sun Mar 26 Long ish run and relaxing. Got up and was worried about the weather forecast for Monday because I was supposed to be doing my long run for next week then, and it was going to be torrentially downpouring all day, so I was hoping to switch my days because the weather was decent enough that I could’ve done it on Sunday. But then I updated my app and A, it changed my schedule for this week anyway, and B, I remember I could’ve moved it anyway if I wanted to. So instead I went and did that 5K Sunday challenge thing that it introduced. And I ran back from there, so it actually was closer to the 5 miles I had wanted to do anyway. So ya.

I felt a little subconscious in these leggings because, though they are a spectacularly bright and amazing color, they also show my cellulite on the back of my legs… but I thought, fuck it, people will see me, and if they give me a look, I’ll just push harder and show them that cellulite means nothing if you’re fast and capable and strong. So. I used it to empower me, I guess.

Spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching ICCA videos, still hyped up on the Snovas victory. Legit it’s still coming to me in waves, it’s actually incredible.

3.11 mi 9'41" min / mi

1.53 mi 9'44" min /mi

Mon Mar 27 Full body circuit and a benchmark run. Work is starting to bore me so much lol on Monday I think I may have done approximately 2 work related things all day, otherwise I was just distracted. I decided to do a NTC workout and then my benchmark, so I chose Body Flexor 2.0, which worked a lot of different areas and was pretty fun. Then I ran on the treadmill for my benchmark for the first time, which was weird knowing my exact speed at certain times and being able to force myself to a certain pace. If I have to do it that way again, next time I’ll just cover the numbers and just focus on how it feels to push hard. The picture up there is me literally dying because of how sweaty I was. Plus fun leggings from Marshall’s.

1.54 mi 9'49" min / mi

Tues Mar 28 Abs / some arms, plus 20 minutes on the elliptical. I was an idiot today, and not only forgot a hair tie after my shower, but I left my phone at home, which I realized too late in the elevator on the way to work. Nice. So I had to go without both all day, though Kelly let me borrow a hair tie so I could work out thank GoD cause I was looking at using a legit rubber band, which would’ve been awful. The moves I chose for abs today ended up also working my arms a lot, which was nice to combo them. Because I didn’t have my phone, I just kind of had to make up my elliptical workout, which was meh but whatever. Next time I’ll be prepared. That’s definitely not my favorite type of cardio anyway.

Tonight I made these AMAZING baked zucchini fries, I probably could’ve eaten like 90 million in one sitting they were so crunchy and good. My sweet potato fries didn’t turn out so good (I actually burned the shit out of them, but I’m going to attempt to eat them tomorrow for lunch anyway 🙃) but I’m happy I’m trying new things in the kitchen, even if it’s taking me like 3 hours each time lolol.

I’m down a few pounds from last week, though, which is kind of nice! A little affirmation after working hard every day.

3x each 15 reps dumbbell side bends alt. sides 8# 15 reps twisting core stabilizers alt. sides 8# 15 reps bow extensions alt. sides 8# 15 reps woodchops 8# 10 reps windmills 5# 40 reps russian twists 8# 30 s plank 7 reps full extension inch worms 15 reps in-&-outs

The selling points about development

One of the main selling points of Kent Ridge Hill Residences is its lush greenery landscape with the surrounding area enjoying clean air and fresh air making the location on of the best eco-friendly place within Singapore.

Another great feature of the property is its large land size and low density making the property a private enclave tucked away from the bustle and hustle of the city. Its exclusivity and privacy are one of my favorite things about residential development. Future residents will get to enjoy the opportunity of having residents-only access to Kent Ridge Park within your very own home. Security is guaranteed 24/7

Its excellent locale makes it an ideal place to call home; the property is close to MRT station, bus stops and major expressways making movement and accessibility to the property easier and convenient while providing direct access to other parts of the country. Other properties within the region are located far from public transportation systems while those on West Coast Highway experience noise pollution.

The property is situated in an ideal location for investment, the master plan of the government to upgrade existing infrastructure and its closeness to Greater Southern Waterfront Development increases the potential for capital appreciation.

Possible bad points about the development

For investors purchasing the property for the sole purpose of rental yields will face significant competition from surrounding development projects. This competition may adversely affect rental income reducing the potential for high capital growth and occupancy rates. However, Kent Ridge Hill Residences is suitable for living as compared to renting it out to avoid current or future competition.

The property development has a 99- leasehold tenure which some investors and future owners might view as a limitation. Nearby condominium projects like Bijou, Horizon Residences, and Viva Vista come with a freehold providing competition to Kent Ridge Residences in future.

Traffic snarl and congestion may be a big problem during peak hours especially in the morning and evening especially in Pasing Panjar Rd and Orchard Rd. It’s to be seen whether the government will address the issue of congestion especially with new condominium launches slated in the coming years.

My thoughts about the development

From my point of view and concerned about one main thing. Firstly, newly launched condominium projects along Pasir Panjang MRT stations notably Bijou development project that comes with a freehold tenure, with average transacting prices over the last 12 months ranging from $1709- $2175 per square feet. Comparing the two properties that rival each other pricing for Kent Ridge Hill Residence is a bit higher.

Kent Ridge Hill is an outstanding place to call home, its lush greenery surroundings of more than 47 hectares of the forest park is just too hard to ignore. Residents will enjoy exclusive access to Kent Ridge Park, no property within the vicinity has that kind of access.

The median price per square feet for the past one year $1200 per square feet, if you factor in the approximated selling price of Kent Ridge Hill of $1700 per square feet, it’s a little bit over 40% over the current market rate.

Despite a lot of competition within the area due to its leasehold period and proximity of some properties being closer to MRT stations, in my opinion, is still feel Kent Ridge Hill is a perfect place to make a home. Its closeness to the CBD and privacy will make it a catchment for working class professional.

However, the government cooling measures to check on prices presents an opportunity to home buyers and investors a chance to invest in Kent Ridge Hill before the new policies come into effect.

Pricing – 80%

The property is strategically located to major transportation networks allowing easier access to and from the property to the city and other regions in Singapore. The property is well linked with Pasing Panjang MRT station and Harbourfront MRT Interchange Station which connects with other lines allowing faster movement within the property and other regions within the country.

It’s also close to a variety of amenities that are conveniently located catering to the needs of future residents. One of the most impressive factors according to me is that the property is located in a secluded area with a less dense population.

Location – 70%

In my opinion, the price set at $ 1700 per square feet is a bit high and unreasonable for a 99-year old leasehold. It’s on the upside considering the resale prices for freehold properties are much lower compared to Kent Ridge Hill Residences prices.

However, factoring prices per square feet of nearby development projects, it’s much more affordable as developers have begun a trend of quoting high indicative prices as a URA is reducing the number of condominium projects within the area.

Quality -90%

The property is elevated above road level underlining its exclusivity with ample greenery surrounding the project creates the perfect harmony with the natural ecosystem. Inspired by American master architect Frank Lloyd Wright each condominium unit will have high ceilings spacious living space and dining area creating a sense of space that nature brings.

With the thoughtful layout and efficient use of available space the property is ideally suited for individuals and families of varying sizes providing the ultimate urban living experience. Its comprehensive space management is what impressed me the most.

Top 10 Properties In KL & Selangor For Middle-Income Earners 2017

Soaring house prices are a bane to Malaysians – just ask those who responded to a pre-Budget 2017 survey ran by the prime minister on his blog. Such was the demand for affordable housing that when the annual budget was rolled out, Datuk Seri Najib Razak not only provided various housing perks – including a revised financing scheme for PR1MA – but offered to define middle-income earners. Billed as the M40 group, these are people who make up the middle 40% of the national demography and bring in a household income between RM3,860 and RM8,319 a month. Yet it is this group that are still struggling to land their first home. The PR1MA programme, though designed to elevate the financial burdens of the middle-class, has various strings attached and doesn’t cater to everyone – it runs on a ballot system. Is the future bleak for the M40? Not quite. Sure, sacrifices will need to be made and you’ll also need to re-prioritise your “ideal home” criteria and go with something more practical, but it is still possible to land one. So, we have pored over property listings and below are a few properties in sought-after areas that you could purchase if you are earning around RM4,500.

1. 7 Tree Seven Residence, Bandar Sungai Long

[table id=706 /] This condominium consists of three massive towers, which has 18 storeys each. A total of 280 units are offered with built-up ranging between 896 sq ft and 1,448 sq ft. 7 Tree Seven Residence is developed by Big House Management, which began operations in 2003 and has successfully completed 33 projects such as Subang Parkhomes and First Residence. This is a secondary property. These towering residences are within a short driving distance from lifestyle spots such as Aeon Cheras Selatan Shopping Centre and Leisure Mall; Columbia Asia Hospital and Tesco Kajang. It is also roughly 23 minutes away from Midvalley Megamall. It is also connected to other towns through the Cheras-Kajang Highway, SILK Highway, Kajang-Semenyih Bypass and Sungai Besi Highway. There will also be an MRT station located just 600m from 7 Tree Seven Residence. Due to its proximity to the capital city and also booming infrastructure in and around Sungai Long, these units are expected to rise in value in the near future, making it a potentially good investment. [table id=707 /] While you might be eligible for a loan of RM380,700 (90% margin of finance), you are expected to cough out RM21,155 for documentation and RM42,300 for down payment – that’s RM63,455! Then you need to commit RM1,963 a month for the next 30 years.

2. SS19, Subang Jaya

[table id=708 /] Located just outside Kuala Lumpur, SS19 is the largest precinct in Subang Jaya and consists of old and new developments, from Subang Soho to various semi-detached houses and even bungalows. But despite the high demand and expensive price tags on homes in this residential enclave, you could still snag a property at around RM400,000. Some property observers have noted that in terms of capital appreciation, market prices around SS19 have risen well over the past few years, and this makes it an ideal home for families as well as an investment. What’s more, it’s connected through major highways and is located to nearby lifestyle malls such as Subang Parade and Empire Subang. Here’s a breakdown of how much you need to fork out: [table id=709 /] Upfront charges will require you to put down RM60,450 in cash, followed by RM1,856 a month in monthly payments.

3. Lakeview Residency, Cyberjaya

[table id=710 /] Developed by Country Heights Holdings, this resort-type condominium boasts a low-density as it consists of 117 units and a built-up ranging between 938 sq ff to 1,727 sq ft. Before you write this property off due to its location, consider that it is surrounded by some of the best educational institutions such as Limkokwing University and Alice Smith International School. There are also plenty of lifestyle amenities such as the Cyberview Lodge Resort and The Mines Shopping Mall. It is also linked to the North-South Expressway, Putrajaya Link and South Klang Valley Expressway. Located in a quiet and calm neighbourhood, Lakeview Residency is perfect for families, not to mention its close proximity to the Putrajaya Lake makes it a wholesome place to reside. Rental value here is predicted to also rise in the near future given how near it is to offices as well as education institutions. [table id=711 /] So, first you’ll need to put down RM69,000 upfront and commit yourself to RM1,998 a month for 35 years. It might seem like a huge investment and will definitely require some cutting back on daily expenses, perhaps even a part-time job might be in the offing, but if you are looking to invest in a family home under half a million, this is a good catch.

4. Ritze Perdana 2, Damansara Perdana

[table id=712 /] This township has been touted as a strategic residential enclave due to its close proximity to major highways – Penchala Link and LDP – and lifestyle amenities such as The Curve Shopping Mall, IKEA and even the Mutiara Damansara MRT station. Accessibility aside, this area also provides decent choices for a bachelor pad. The Ritze Perdana 2 is designed to not only cater to the lifestyle of the young and single but also doubles up as a SOHO, meaning you get to sleep and do work, all in one place. [table id=713 /] Get past the RM52,000 which you need for down payment and miscellaneous costs, and it is a monthly commitment of RM1,624. Is it worth it? Considering this is a strategic location, it just might be. However, this is best for a single person or a couple due to its size.

5. Taman Segambut Muda, Kepong

[table id=714 /] The main sales pitch for this relatively old housing establishment is its location. It is centrally located with the city centre being 15 minutes away while other hotspots such as Mont Kiara and Bangsar are anywhere between 10 minutes and 20 minutes by car. Residents here also enjoy access to major trunk roads such as Jalan Duta and Jalan Kuching, which in turn provides accesses to the DUKE highway. Public transportation is also plenty over here with the Segambut KTM station within walking distance. At the moment, despite its location, prices are reasonable with houses being sold between RM330,000 and RM430,000. But that might change as high-end developers start spilling over from nearby Mont Kiara. [table id=715 /] For starters, you will need to pay upfront RM38,800 for down payment and RM19,400 for other costs. Then comes a commitment of RM1,801 a month for 30 years. Given that this is a landed property below RM500,000 and strategically located, it might just be worth the effort.

6. Bandar Seri Coalfields, Sungai Buloh

[table id=716 /] Located in Sungai Buloh, these residences are sought after due to it being located in a major residential and business hub. Also, this township offers extensive landscape surroundings with parks and playgrounds and wide 50-feet inner roads to cater for kerbside parking. Nearby are lifestyle amenities such as kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, a government health clinic and various places of worship, among others. Bandar Seri Coalfields is certainly designed for families and a peaceful place for children to grow up in as well. As for investment, this place has potential due to development moving from the city centre into the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. Also, its close proximity to major highways and the Sungai Buloh MRT station makes it a highly sought-after address. [table id=717 /] To land a unit here, you’ll have to pay the required upfront charges of RM73,000. It’s a huge sum but remember this is a family friendly location just right outside the capital and it is below the RM500,000 marker. Then it’s a commitment of RM2,128 per month, for 30 years.

7. Amara Boulevard and Service Residences, Batu Caves

[table id=718 /] A mixed-residential development, Amara Service Residences consists of 696 serviced apartments and 48 units of retail lots. The service apartment is built with three bedrooms and two or three bathrooms. Each unit comes with one to three allotted carpark bays. Due to its location, this apartment block is well served through road links such as the Middle Ring Road 2, Jalan Ipoh and DUKE and Karak Highways. It is also about a 100m walk to the Batu Caves KTM Komuter station. [table id=719 /] You are required to dole out RM37,800 for a down payment and RM18,900 for miscellaneous costs, and a monthly commitment of RM1,754.

8. Damai Apartment, Shah Alam

[table id=720 /] Located in the township of Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam, the apartment is surrounded by various lifestyle spots such as the Giant Hypermarket and the Ole Ole Shopping Centre, making it great for families. It is also located strategically with easy access to several highways such as the LKSA, ELITE and also KESAS. For those dependent on public transport, the KTM Shah Alam station is located roughly 2km away from Taman Sri Muda. [table id=721 /] So, first off, you’ll need RM54,750 to clear off the down payment as well as miscellaneous fees. Then, it is monthly commitment of RM1,694 a month for 30 years.

9. Vina Versatile Homes, Cheras South

[table id=722 /] Developed by Mitraland Cheras, this freehold property consists of three towers equipped with top-notched recreational facilities. There are myriad amenities nearby such as the Cempaka International School and University-College Sedaya International (UCSI), various shopping centres as well as hospitals, gas stations and banks. It is highly accessible given its close proximity to highways such as the SILK, Kajang Highway and East-West Link. Public transportation such as buses are frequent but up and coming are seven MRT stations that are all nearby Vina Versatile Homes. What makes this a worthwhile investment is simply due to its range to the MRT stations in Cheras. Once these are up and running, residents and investors may reap capital appreciation as well as increase in rental prices. [table id=723 /] To land a property, you’ll need to pay a hefty upfront charge of RM70,950. Then comes the monthly commitment of RM2,054 for 35 years. You might cringe at these numbers but with potential rental appreciation around corner, it might be worth the sacrifice.

10. Rhythm Avenue USJ 19, USJ

[table id=724 /] As its name suggests, these serviced apartments are located in USJ19 and is part of an integrated development that consists of a two-storey retail mall, the 19 USJ City Mall. It is also connected to major education institutions, eateries and lifestyle spots around the USJ/Sunway area, all a short drive away. But what resident can enjoy here is the LRT Extension which is only five minutes’ walk from the apartments, which signals a higher appreciation for a property such as this. [table id=725 /] If you are able to raise RM60,000, then you’ll have to ensure that you are able to raise RM1,737 every month for the next 30 years. And there you have it. Note that despite this being a list of properties for middle-income earners, the takeaway here is that while it might be within one’s means to finance the loan and own a property, it will require sacrifice. Despite tightening measures and government aid, property prices are still set to rise due to the ability of investors to snap up the latest units in record time. So your best plan is to remember that times have changed and review your strategy as the property market is a competitive field and you don’t want to end up scrapping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to landing a home. This is because owning a property is a long-term commitment and a serious one at that.

Incredible Investment Potential An integrated township can gift you a better quality of life in the present as well as in the future.  Statistically, integrated townships appreciate at a much faster rate than standalone projects. Most integrated townships offer an ROI of 100 percent within the first four years, as compared to 27-40 percent appreciation in standalone projects. If you are not planning to live in your new home immediately, investing in an integrated township is the best decision you can make. Houses within integrated townships have a rental yield of 5-6 percent compared to the market average of 2-3 percent. Shriram Gateway also offers you lower prices per square foot compared to other integrated townships in the country. This means the price appreciation of your home will be even greater.
