Jaybird BlueBuds X
Strangely, I just realised that this is my first of Bluetooth earphones. I do have Bluetooth headsets so I can use my phone hands-free while driving, but those are one-sided.

Grit – Training for Warriors
I think this is the perfect name for what it is. Because, somewhere during the workout, you will find yourself gritting your teeth as you breathe hard to calm your racing heart. Grit is the only gym in Singapore affiliated with Training for Warriors, the system created by Martin Rooney over 10 years ago for […]
