Update on Passage to India

Everyone has their opinions on the various curry houses around town, typically my favourite three are Mumtaz Mahal, Passage to India and the Grill House in MQ. I've recently been to Woodlands a few times and I really quite like it there too, but it's in Ruwi, and I'm allergic to Ruwi, it makes me break out in swear words at the drivers.

Recently, I found myself at Hatat House on another matter, and noticed that the front door to the Passage to India was open. I was intrigued to see the status of Mrs Sythe's favourite ruby murray shop in town and so poked my head in.

As you can see from the pictures I have shared above, it appears that after their little fire the Management have decided a total gut and re-vamp is in order. Which to be fair is probably a good thing, although I never really minded too much when there before, but that might have been due to the deadly combo of cheap Heineken and dim lighting!

I chatted with a guy who looked like he was the boss and he said they plan to be open in October, but judging by the progress of works above, I think before the end of the year is a better bet. I hope so, I miss the Aloo Methi Tiki and the Chettinand Chetnandu!

Passage to India has a facebook page here.

More soon, last few hours to get your name in the hat to win free tickets to Edward Maya!

Sweet + smokey and Colorful Avant garde looks

Hi girls! :) I just wanted to share with you two make up looks which I submitted last July for a makeup contest by iambrigitte, click here to see the contest and the other entries. :) Although, I wasn't lucky enough to win because there were so many beautiful entries. :) I actually totally forgot that I have pictures of these two looks and I was browsing thru my pictures and I saw them so I thought of sharing them. :)

Anyway here are the pictures of the two makeup looks.

Sweet and smokey look:

Colorful Avant garde look:

Don't mind the falsies, they kept on falling off because at that time it was my first time trying out false eye lashes! :)

I still have to learn more about applying make up especially in creating avant garde looks. :) It was my first time to do these two looks. 

So which of the two did you like better? :)

NOTW: Barbie inspired nails

Hi lovelies! :) For this week I feel happy and girly so I decided to do Barbie inspired nails. :) For this I used Chic Grainy Glaze in Siam. It is a pink polish with pink sandy sparkles. Its sooo pretty and really texteured, for this kind of polish a top coat is not needed because it is textured. :) Then I used multi colored caviar for my accent nails (my ring finger nail on the left hand and my pinky finger nail on the right).

Left hand

Right hand

Isn't it pretty? I am reminded to Barbie whenever I see a pretty pink color that's why I called this Barbie inspired nails.. :)

Does it look good on me? I sure hope so! :)

I really liked the consistency of the chic nail polish, it was very easy to apply and it was very buildable. I used only 2 coats here and the color pay off was really good! And I super love the texture, I can't stop touching my nails! :)

Have you tried this polish yet girls? :) Share your experience. :) Would you like a tutorial on how to do the caviar nails? :)

Kellon Lutz did not have to make any major body transformation for his movie roles. It was just a matter of getting into his best shape. While filming the HBO series Generation Kill in 2007 in the African desert he and his fellow actors challenged one another in pushup and situp contests and lifting weights in a makeshift gym.

Lutz main workout for staying in shape includes starting his session with 5 minutes of cardio followed with working out the core. Core activation will allow him to get maximum muscle utilization in all his other exercise. After a few sets of powerful full-body workouts, Lutz do simpler exercises that target specific muscles, letting his body recover a bit before another blast of energy and muscle-fiber recruitment.

All these activities have tremendous benefit for fitness including burning fat and increasing endurance. This is the reason Lutz has a very low body fat level in most pictures and movies he is in. Keeping a low body fat percentage is key for having an impressive lean and muscular physique. All you need is just an average amount of muscle and keep fat at a minimum level and you'll look great.

Kellon Lutz Diet Plan 

Kellon Lutz approach to diet is 'eat frequently in small quantities'. He eats small meals every 2 to 3 hours and make sure he never skips breakfast. He uses this technique to manage body weight without allowing himself to feel deprived or ravenously hungry. Before bedtime Lutz would eat a boiled egg to keep his metabolism active.

Final Tips 

Kellon Lutz see fitness not just for the physical strength and beauty that comes from it, but the mental benefits as well. He tells 'Men's Health' whenever he gets frustrated he goes to the gym and let it off by working out. One great lesson you should learn from Kellon Lutz workout routine is to make fitness a part of your everyday lifestyle. Don't rely only on the gym to be physically active and to get your workout.

A Workout Routine For A Beginner To Build Muscle

The type of workout routine you choose to use when you're a beginner building muscle for the first time will greatly determine how well you succeed in your endeavour. Beginners should not attempt to train the same way like experience trainers. The beginner needs to take an approach that will maximize their genetic potential to build muscle rapidly and prevent physical and mental harm from over-training.



Beginners Should Set Their Goals Properly 

In order to make the right decision on which routine to employ you should come up with your precise goals. You'll need to decide what type of transformation you want to attain. How much muscle you want to put on, what do you want your body to look like, and in what period of time do you want to accomplish the transformation you're after? You need to take those factors into consideration when deciding on a routine.

A Recommended Workout Routine For Beginners 

If you're a beginner newly getting into bodybuilding most likely you need advice as much as possible. Unless you're planning to compete in professional bodybuilding competitions the best approach for beginners is to aim for the lean and muscular body type. The lean and muscular look is the type that male fitness models and hollywood actors possess. You'll look muscular but not huge like a bodybuilder. This is the muscular body type for good looks and style, and you can get this look within months if you use the right workout routine.

The best workout routine for getting this look is Visual Impact Muscle Building. This is a professionally designed muscle building program that has all right information and guidelines for beginners to work with. The workout is done in 3 phases that runs up to six months, but allows a lot of flexibility for the user, which is exactly what a beginner needs to achieve their precise goals.
