Hey guys!

So yea... Nothing much over the week actually, since my last update. I went for follow up checkup for my high blood pressure. The good news? With medication, it has dropped, now bordering the line between prehypertension and hypertension stage 1 high blood pressure. The bad news, I have to go for blood test in about 3 weeks from today... I'm terrified of needles as those who know me personally can testify, now the whole cyber world knows. Don't really care since everyone has their own fears...


So anyway! The doctor said I'm ok to exercise and I should lose weight and so, I started eating fruits, I did try veggie yesterday but it was kinda disgusting. No idea if its the veggie itself or th way my mother cooked it but regardless, I shall try again, if it's really unbearable, I'm gonna live like Tarzan, partially anyway, the fruit parts, not the insects part. Also, I started exercising last week! It's isn't really a lot if you think about it.


10 incline push ups
10 sit ups
10 crunches
1 round around the blocks at my place (jogging)
1 round around the blocks at my place (walking)
Walked down 10 stories, walked up 3 stories,


Those are what I remembered. And I had extreme muscle soreness in my left thigh. Lesson people, don't injure yourself. This is a result of hiatus from exercising from 8 years due to injury to the knees, one after the other. My arm muscles and right leg are ok though, stomach muscles hurt a little indicating that not much strain was put on it. This morning I'm almost at 100% and I'll be working out this Saturday and slowly build up.


And my stuff arrived in Singapore yesterday morning. But oddly, DHL was saying there was some problem and can only ship on Monday, so I accepted, for some reason, they delivered last night. I was ecstatic. Unfortunately, I opened up to a minor disappointment. I've shipped the wrong thing over!


2 Packages, the bigger box weight 3kg, the hell is wrong with the picture?


The wrong thing shipped from US, my super clamp instead of my tripod head. And look at the packing! Its great, but expensive when shipping from US, no idea why my tripod head is 1kg while this is 3, I expected the other way hence I shipped the 3kg first =/


Finally! The long awaited Logitech Ultimate Ears 200 in ear earphones!


Done with the pictures, and the earphones are kinda weird to me, not used to wearing these having formally wore 1 type years ago but broke pretty quickly. I must say, despite the price locally, it can only compare with my cheapo Sony earphones, but for the price I got when buying from USA, it ain't half bad. Came with a nice case too. If its good and last me for quite some time, I'd consider getting a higher end earphone from them.


Unfortunately, don't think these will work great when working out in the future. So might be getting an arm band for my mp3 and phone and a pair of workout earphones if I workout more often in the future. That's all for now! Will update when I get my tripod head and do a review for it and the 70-200. Have a good day everyone!
