Can you believed the hermit managed to walk 1/2 of the whole stretch of Orchard Road eariler in the afternoon ???? Yes that's what I did lol I know it's amazing eh , considering this accomplishment of mine after being 19kg & counting lighter .
To cut a long story short , yes I did went on a eating spree but I only eat what's legal for my body . I pigged out on tons of stuff like my fave pork loin with sausage stuffing , pork yakitori . It was fanastic & after walking for almost 2 1/2 hours , it doesn't make me guilty even though I ate a lot eariler cos I balanced that with walking 1/2 the stretch of Orchard Road.
& yes I did managed to buy a new pair of bling bling earrings which I deserved to have it from Perlini Silver . The earrings that I bought cost me S$23 but it's worth it cos I feel that I deserved that reward for working my butt out the past 4 1/2 months & counting to lose weight & shot up my self confidence in the process . The design of it is gorgeous & very very pretty & it's in hearts lol . I think I have a weakness of anything in heart shaped cos most of my earrings's patterns are well ,in hearts.
I think I must have an affinity with the godness of love aka Venus in my past life or something lol
But yeah I did saw the heart earrings with the beautiful beautiful Swarovski crystals in either pink or silver colors but I didn't bought it cos it will cost me S$25 for a pair :S so I'm saving $ up to buy it during xmas or for my 19th birthday next Jan OR if there're any kind folks who're willing to sponser or buy on my behalf , I wouldn't mind also haha
The ones that I saw on PS's website is slightly different from the ones I saw at the shop itself but who cares man , I'm saving to buy BOTH the pink & silver heart crystals.
I managed to scan the earrings up that I bought eariler . Look below aren't they lovely ??
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ... what I can say ? :) :) :) :) :) :) :) It's worth every buck I spent on them , S$23 to be exact :) :) :) :)
Man.. I'm seriously burnt out & exhausted . I been pushing & working myself too hard the past few days , not to mention exercising . I think later on in the afternoon I go out & do some window shopping haha
With regards to exercise , I think at most 1 hour a day , 4-6 times a week . With school on my hands now , I doubt I can handle anymore gruesome tiring work . At most my 1 day exercise break will be 1 of the days during the weekend either Sat or Sun depending on my mood . Anymore I will drop dead in due time :S
Later on I plan to head to downtown to see whether there're anything interesting things happening & going on & not to mention EAT A STORM !!! I'm SO craving for some ol' pork yakitori wrapped up with eboki (baby straw mushrooms) at Tori Q in Takashimaya . I do hope that they're still selling it cos it rocks . If not then I just opt for a normal pork yakitori then heh heh
++++++++
What the hermit did today eariler this afternoon:
After school ended , I walked all the way to Clementi Interchange cos I wanted to buy another bottle of Nivea Q 10 Lotion . This time I bought the 400ml , the 1 that I'm using currently is only 200ml , what for , might as well buy a bigger bottle lol . I purchased it for S$12.90 & then later on found out that the same bottle's selling for $18 in Cold Storage !! Wah lau..
Then I took MRT & subsquently 173 to Bukit Batok CC cos I wanted to get a copy of what courses they're gonna offer during the holidays & in the months to come . I read though the whole thing & surprise surprise , on Sun , they're conducting yoga lessons that will be taught by my former trainer Tricia .
I used to go there with Mama to do yoga last year & Tricia was teaching the class . I had to stop 1/2 way cos of my back injury problems & not to mention my terrible fat weight so yeah I'm thinking of rejoining her weekly class again . If so it will commerce on 11th Dec .
Would be cool if Mama agrees that I can re-do yoga again.
Irf has been SO kind , he sent me the full set list of songs from Lindsay's 2nd CD which wouldn't be out in stores until Dec 6th so geez ,he has been lovely & seems to me that when comes to music gossip & all , he knows it all before me lol . What a smart dude considering he's only 14 & idolises Hilary Duff like mad haha!
I gave the 12 songs a listen & Lindsay's moving towards a more serious & mature direction in her music.Her 1st album's kinda teenybooper in some ways or another but the 2nd 1 talks more about deeply stuff , hence the album title A Little More Personal (Raw) . 1st single Confessions Of A Broken Heart (Daughter To Father) is sorta dedicated to her dad who's she's estrangled from now.
You know what , it's funny that I'm now considered a 'normal' size cos now whenever I see overweight people on the streets , I can't help but feel sorry for them . It's so strange & surreal & 1 thing's that I will never ever make fun of them cos I'm still overweight even though like what Claire said that my BMI's officially in the healthy range now.
All the little things that people been telling me for the past few months , I appericate it but at the same time I'm not going to let everything go into my head or else I will grow big headed & lose focus so in a way to 'humble' myself , I'm still gonna think that I'm 210 pounds [95kg] . It's stupid yeah but in a way it's humidity & that this will keep me going on .
I so can't wait to reach my goal weight of 140 pounds [63kg] which I know I will get there in due time . Just 28 pounds [12.6kg] more to shed & yes this's really exciting for me :) The ride so far has been tough & rough for me at times but I managed to sail though . I already ran 60% of the race so I'm gonna run the last 40% of the journey.
Away we go now :)
++++++++
Bought new blouses & PE shorts , no pants in my size :S damnit so the old 1 that I'm wearing now , no choice man , have to go to the shop & get it alter .
I'm thinking of going to the community centre after school to see what courses are there available . My timetable's kinda alright & flexible so yeah I'm itching to do/learn/relearn something , hopefully got pilates or yoga course available or if possible foreign languages courses . Ha I don't know see how man
I'm gonna set myself a rather gruesome tiring challenge . Which's exercising 2 hours a day , 1 hour in the morning & 1 hour in the late afternoon . I can't do it for 2 hours a shot I will DIED big time but yeah let's see how I fare for 1 week as in a way I wanna try to step up my fitness level.
[Mmm... still don't know whether I can handle this a not . Probably I just let my mood decide for the day whether am I fit to work out 1 or 2 hours a day .]
Ok I know that I like rainy days better than sunny days but this's getting ridiculous if you asked me ! The past 3 days in the morning that's including today , been pouring like mad . Seems to me that the mossoon session has come knock a knock early . Hmm...
Maybe this weekend , in addition to reward myself proper with future new blings blings , I might stop by the local community centre to see whether do they have any courses on yoga or pilates . I actually did yoga last year but had to stop 1/2 way cos of my back problems that's related to my pathetic heavy weight . Somemore I'm itching to step up my exercise level a bit . But glad to say that I don't have any back problems after I lost the few excess pounds :)
Someone told me that if you wanna get rock solid abs , the best's to do pilates . However I do not have any pilates background & somemore I don't really know what it's all about lol . However I do have a yoga background so adio , I'm lost . I wanna do both but not sure if my schedule will allow me a not . I think can cos next week onwards only got 3 days of schooling but see how lah...
++++++++
Just now outta the blue a bolt of depression suddenly overcame me , I don't know why but for a moment I was feeling really shit & depressed to the bone but I soon gotten over it in no time , thank goodness ! after praying for the inner strength to whip off this depression/low self esteem away from me ! so yeah phew
Sometimes when you read magazines , you always from time to time see almost stick thin like models wearing all the cool clothes & stuff . No doubt that always make me think like 'oh god i wanna get that so & so body ' etc but I came to realise & accept on the way I look . I'm very comfortable with my 'new' body now even though I only accomplished 60% of everything of what I have done so far.Not sure if I got any curves a not haha
I guess eariler that bolt of depression came along when I started to think of all those people who're models who're modelling . It's strange cos I'm certainly not fit to be 1 & never will become a model for a no.of reasons . Amidst all of them , 1 of them's $ . If I'm correct you need a lot of $ to launch your portfolio which's not so not cheap lor & I can't imagine myself being stick thin ever . That's not me at all
I didn't start to lose weight just to be glam , but to get better health & not to mention improve on my eating habits & self confidence & blast off low self esteem . When I was praying for the inner strength to get that 'devil' outta me , I remembered all the little things that people been telling me for the past few months & thanks to my yoga background , I managed to break free .
I guess what Dan said's correct . Once I start to deal with depression the right way from a young age , with each future depression spells I will get , I can learn to cope them better which I think it works & like he say , never ever wallow in self pity cos no 1 will ever pity you.
Whew what a relief to get all these things out :) , gonna eat some pizza toppings now as my 'reward' haha
Bloody hell just when I thought my timetable wouldn't get anymore better , it has cranked up a notch today & will take effect next week onwards ! Just look at this:
Mon : 9am-2pm
Tue:11-4pm
Wed:10am-2pm
Thurs & Fri : NO SCHOOL
omg omg omg omg , just like what Su said , it's like we're going to study part time man LOL but yeah seriously can my timetable get any better ? I remembered when I 1st started out in my 1st semester , timetable was JAMMED packed ! Just think 8am-5pm almost everyday , nearly wanna die & stuff
But wow what I can say & you know what ? I'm thinking of rewarding myself with something even though I'm broke to death & also I haven't reward myself proper ever since I started losing weight haha. I'm thinking of going shopping this Fri maybe to buy some new blings blings from Perlini Silver . I haven't bought anything from them for almost 6-7 months man !!! Yeah I know I'm shameless but that's me ;p
I'm thinking of getting new earrings as I don't really wear necklaces/pendants & bracelets everyday , only on special occasions . Or maybe buy a ring for myself to wear haha I already have my eyes set on a pair of beautiful beautiful Swarovski crystal heart earrings that comes in either pink or silver colour . Oh god they're frickin pretty & look so sweet . I wanna buy both !!! Can't remember the cost of it though :S but who cares ahahaha . If not then probably I hit the arcade.Regardless of anything I just wanna do something this long weekend cos my energy's level damn high for some reasons now
If you wanna see the Swarovski crystal heart earrings , just go to Perlini Silver & under the Collections section , click on Women & just scroll it all away . & for some reasons , a majority of my earrings from Perlini are in heart shaped . Seem like I have a thing of hearts . Hmm..
Hopefully the co-op shop will be open later on when I make my way to school . I wanna go & buy new uniforms . I don't care on the fact that I wil finish my course in March . The thing about me now's that if I wear too baggy/loose clothes , I will look & feel frickin fat . That's just me lah but ah well .
Like Yee Ma put it , it's kinda easier to see if I lose or put on weight due to the fact that I'm tall . In some cases TOO tall :S . I hover around 5ft 9 inches [around 1.75m] & I have shed almost close to 42 pounds now [close to 20kg ] since the beginning of July . My goal weight's 140 pounds [63kg] which I know I will get there eventually & most importantly I feel that it's perfect for my height . Lowest I will go's 133 pounds [60kg ] Anymore I will look like a toothpick ;p
& after that , gonna shop a storm wheeeeeeee & Jen , yes I saw Denise's new look yesterday on Pop Inc . Her hair's damn short now lor , looks kinda weird cos been used to seeing her with long hair . In your own opinion , does she look better in long/short hair or doesn't matter ? For me doesn't matter lol
++++++++
Today supposed to have lessons from 10am - 2pm but lessons were cancelled wahaha & somemore this semester my timetable's frickin super slack !!! I thought 3rd semester's slack but nope this time it's even better . I only have to take 2 subjects with only 1 I have to sit for my final exams wahahaha . The 2 subjects I will be taking will be E Business Project (EBP) [ brought forward since last semester cos it's a 2 semesters subject ] & International Business (IB) which I'm looking forward to studying it . Other than Care & PE , that's it man !wahaha
Before I type out my timetable schedule , I found out that I will finish my course at most around March 25th or maybe even eariler . Wow & somemore today when I tried on my altered school pants & old blouse , both equally too loose ! All my clothes are all falling off me . Turned out that the auntie supposed to 'shave' off 5 inches off my waist , not 3 !! Wow I can't believe I lost 5 inches from my waist which makes a HUGE difference & bear in mind , I only measured my waistline today . I didn't do it in the past cos I was scared..
My timetable for my final semester:
Mon : 10am - 2pm
Tue: 12-4pm
Wed:10-2pm
Thurs:11-3pm
Fri: NO SCHOOL [ MY FAVE !!!]
So I was thinking at the rate that I'm losing weight , I might as well buy new uniform since it's a waste to alter my pants . A new pair of pants cost $13 while alternating my old ones might seem wasted . Somemore the auntie charged me $8 & I have to go & alter again what for ? I'm thinking of buying a pair of new pants , 2 new blouses , either 1 or 2 PE shorts & probably a PE shirt . I'm still thinking about it & have to seek mama's advice when she come back home later tonight...
Got up at 6.30am today & surprise surprise , I wasn't like damnit I wanna sleep again so leave me alone that sorta habit . I just got up naturally which's really great
Had breakfast & then I caught some MTV . Man..been a while since I last watched it , with the exception of Pimp My Ride . Wanted to go to the gym after breakfast but was thinking better not cos it's best for me to exercise 2 hours after I eat a heavy meal & somemore 1 hour of exercise's enough for me so after I come back from school then I do it & I certainly don't want to throw up everything on what I had for breakfast while exercising :S
& besides now , it's still drizzling & raining so better not .
I tried the pants that the auntie altered for me & wah , even though she 'shaved' off 3 inches from the waistline , it's still loose for me . Miracle ... & I think at the rate that I'm losing weight , I need to put a safety pin on my pants heh
I caught the video of Our Lady Peace's Somewhere Out There eariler & 1 thing still stick in my mind , how to distinguish the difference between a bass & a lead guitar ? I remembered Jenny told me something about this but the hermit obviously has forgotten so can you enlighten me again ? lol
++++++++
What the hermit did today eariler this afternoon . I went to Westmall [I know AGAIN but no choice cos it's the nearest place to go lol ] , played some games in the arcade . Finally this time the aircon WORKS & I managed to kick Onslaught's ass on the Marvel Vs Capcom game . I picked Morrigan & Wolverine with additional help from Shadow aka Charlie woo
Then I went to the library to borrow Atkins For Life cos I wanna read & dig up some more info with regards to Atkins . Even though I already have The Atkins Essentials , I still feel the info in there's not sufficient enough so there..
After that , I proceeded to Coffee Bean . I know you're thinking , I went to drink the stuff that they're selling in there ar ? WRONG , I didn't . Instead I went there to have my lunch which was a big plate of chicken caesar salad minus the hardboiled egg slices [ I try to eat eggs only for breakfast] & croutons . I paid $8 for it & it was FABOO ! So far I think that the best caesar salad I tried is still at Coffee Bean . Marche comes in a close 2nd ..
& then I went to Cold Storage to do a bit of grocery shopping aka stock up on the relevant food stuff items . Everytime I go there , I spent a bomb :S so not funny man , I desperately need funding in here haha
Mama's gonna cook spaghetti for dinner later on . Will I be having it ? Absoultely not cos I still have a bag of caesar salad in the fridge & I bought some pizza toppings which I'm gonna toast some of them in the toaster . At most she cook a bit of mince pork minus the tomato sauce for me then. I don't mind not eating it at all even though I must admit that initally when I 1st started out , I was a bit sore that I can't eat pasta anymore but ah well a sacrifice's a sacrifice . Somemore , when I weight myself today this morning , I lost another kilo again YAY :) :) :) So can't wait to reach my goal weight & not to mention maintaining it !!
Alrightly, gonna hit the gym in a moment's time :)
Shoot I'm gonna resume school tomorrow , I can't believe it ! [Yes Dan you can stop mocking & teasing me that school's starting for me soon & that I have to take a reality check ;p ] & not to mention , it will be my final semester at ITE before I eventually finish my course in around Feb/March . Woah , time sure files very fast if you ask me !
In the past , whenever holidays hits me , I always wander my time away , doing pratically things that're sorta irrelevant & somehow lame . But this time , I really managed to use my time wisely cos I know for a fact that once school starts , I wouldn't have the time to do things that I like to do .
Usually during holidays , I will put on a lot of weight but I think this time for a 1st , I actually lose weight haha . I don't really know cos my no1 enemy's the weighing scale & that it's NEVER EVER accurate . I mean if I look good in pics & stuff , it's enough for me . I certainly don't wanna get a 16 or 22 inch waist , that will be super gross !
Like I said , whatever floats your boat hunny
++++++++
The hermit is BORED to tears , that's me *point finger at myself* . I had no mood to go out today with the exception of later on at night when I'm gonna head to my paternal grandparents's house for dinner . I want to go out but I'm so broke to the pits & not to mention , I got nothing in mind I wanna get . *jokes* I think I have to hit the cash machine aka piggy bank to see if there's any spare $ left in there . I'm seriously tapped out , gulp
Just now I 'played' with my 3 in 1 Canon photocopier/scanner/printer . I took out old issues of LIME , Teenage & Teens which I have been keeping & buying for the past few years & decided to photocopy some portions from each of them on relevant issues that I can relate to & I wanna keep them for my future reading's benefits . The whole process took like 3-4 hours cos I have a bucketload of them so you can imagine...
Funny enough , while doing that , it was kinda um 'meditating' . I know , I'm 1 sick & weird nut but what to do ?
I'm a self proclaimed lazy ass . I think I'm like the laziest person on the face of planet Earth . My worst habit [ still is now sometimes haha ] is eat,sleep & eat . & I become a total pig . Mama eventually jokingly sometimes wanna send me to the hospital to cure of my sleeping 'disease' . I can just K.O at 1 corner of the house should I'm tired . Yeah it's that bad !
I don't wish to exercise today , I think I be a total slob today haha . Gonna watch Pimp My Ride later on MTV yay . I mean once school resume for me next Mon , how often do I have the time to be a total lazy bum/slob/ass eh ?
++++++++
My god , just when I thought that Creative have launched 2 new products a month ago , it has launched ANOTHER 1 again !!! & this time it's still the Zen Neeon but this time around , it comes in 512MB/1GB/2GB/6GB & MORE STIK ON SKINS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO more variety in adding to my collection of stik on skins now then ehehehe except for 1 thing .. I'm SUPER BROKE :( :( d'oh , maybe that will be a good excuse to get people to buy for me with the good results that I got from my exams right now haha :pZen Neeon I already have the Funky , Kawaii,Eden & Safari themes & the new ones are just so frickin cool . Except for the Gutsy theme which looks really boring , I WANT THE REST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Face theme is so damn nice , so many different faces . God , time to save $ up or put this in my birthday wish list . Any kind people willing to buy any of them right now ? *cough cough*
Oh another item I'm planning to get is a pair of clip on hook earphones which Sony's selling . I saw it in the catalogue that they sent me , it's SO SO chic but it cost like what $38-39 ??? Meh , so expensive , the ones that I'm using now's only $6.50 but there's no brand attached to it . Somemore made in China haha
Another thing I realised that I have stopped (magically haha) Perlini Silver products . I remembered I used to buy them like mad , especially earrings cos it's pratically the only branded thing a student like me can afford haha . It has been a while since I last bought something from there man . I'm not really a big fan on necklaces/pendants/bracelets (only wear them on special occasions) BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE earrings a LOT !
I have so many pairs from PS it's mad , I still want somemore haha , I'm terrible so greedy . Too bad I don't celebrate xmas or else I know got a lot of $ in my xmas stocking hee . Looks like gotta wait til Jan when Chinese New Year hits the last week of Jan then woo
++++++++
Yeah I went to see Dan eariler at his workplace but before that I went to Westmall to kick butt at the arcade & have lunch at Burger King , a chicken Caesar salad *yum* & oh did I mention that the aircon BROKE DOWN in the whole Westmall plaza ? Wah lau everyone inside the place was sweating like crap , including me ! So I only stayed inside the arcade for a good 'ol 20 mins before zipping to Burger King & then to the MRT & eventually to Dan's workplace..
Like I mentioned eariler , I was praying that it wouldn't rain . It didn't but it was HOT HOT HOT like mad when I arrived at his workplace !!!! Wah lau the previous times also like that sheesh...
But yes I met Dan again in which he took a bit of a time from his busy working schedule [sweet :) ] . He came downstairs after I called him . Before that I bought the new issue of Teens from an old lady in which she was sitting 2 blocks away from his workplace . He walked towards my direction while I was in the midst of buying it from the old lady in which she spoke to me in Cantonese in which I can understand & know to speak [ Away you go Hokkien ;p which's my dialect language]
Due to the crazy hot weather , I went with him to an aircon cafe & the 1st thing I did was I gave him the item that I bought for him in 1 of the many shops found in Tokyo Disneyland . I even mockingly said to him that he's never able to guess what I got for him haha . In case you're wondering which shop I went to & buy , it's the Glass Slipper which's located at 1 corner in Cinderella's Castle
So he tore open the wrapping paper that was attached to it ( with my shitty wrapping skills in place ) & boy was he really surprised when he opened the box in which the thing I bought for him was a small handmade glass cow oranament & I think he's pleased as punch & that will go to his already HUGE cow collection at home :)
But yeah the both of us talked about so many things in life & as usual , it's very nice & cool despite the HUGE age gap between me & him . I even learnt some new things from him eariler somemore . Should I say what we talked about in here ? No cos there're just too many things for me to list down in here & some of them are quite private stuff too heh heh ;) but let's just said that 1/4 of it is related to the band lah & oh of course Rivermaya wheeeeee
Before I left , I asked him whether can I see him again & he doesn't mind which's damn cool if you asked me ;p so I guess I'm looking forward to my next teh session with him again then & note to self : drinking black coffee without milk or sugar absoultely SUCKS , next time I just have a cup of tea , period
It rained SO violently & heavily in the wee hours of the morning , I got up & close my room's windows . I like rain & all but not in this kinda situation *shudders* thank god it has stopped already..
I plan to hit the arcade & kick butt there before I go & meet up with Dan . I still have 2 tokens left with me & somemore 1 token can last me for quite a while even though it cost only 50 cents per token but ah well I can live with that ! I already know how to do the cheat codes from Hui Li if I wanna call up for Shadow (aka Charlie) or Sentinel as my helping partner . Too bad I don't know how to do Shadow Lady/Orange Hulk man , would be awesome if I know !
Maybe later I choose Morrigan & War Machine . Morrigan's powerful even though she looks slutty in her dressing lol , only the bats around her cover her modesty haha . War Machine is powerful too with his proton cannon & war destroyer rockets . & ya the game I love playing at Westmall's Marvel Vs Capcom...
See what I mean ? lol , she's really pretty even though she's like what 300 years old ?!?!?! For a more brief bio on her , go on to Morrigan Aensland
I just hope it wouldn't rain later on then *crossing fingers*
++++++++
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I passed & did SO frickin well for my 3rd semester exams ! Zana spoke to me eariler on MSN & she said that it's out already via the e-student portal . I thought she was joking til I checked out myself & sure enough they're released already ! Wah lau eh !!!!!!!!
This's so so WOW , I feel really really happy that I did well & not to mention maintain my Grade Point Average for the past 3 semesters !!!! I think I should go out & celebrate tomorrow heh heh
Call Centre Management A
Web Applications Development A
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO & actually I have taken another subject which was Career Development and Plannin but only either a S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory) grade was given so obviously I got a S lol
& my GPA's still the same as before : 3.837 & 4's the highest you can go YAY
YAY YAY YAY
It wouldn't be long before I know my results in which to how I fare for my 3rd semester , less than 24 hours now & counting !!! I can't believe it & then next mon I will resume school again aka starting my final semester . Wow , seems like yesterday I was still in my 1st day in ITE .
Now I'm in front of the computer typing this & looking at a mirror in which I have Clearasil pimple cream stuck at 8 small zits that I have on my face . It's really funny as I can see 8 yellow spots all spread out evenly across my face * laughs hysterically* Then again I'm no stranger to zits & certainly don't have the most beautiful & flawless skin around . I remembered when I 1st hit puberty , god , I broke out really really BAD . I tried so many over the counters products before I eventually settle upon Clearasil as it's really good for me since I have really sensitive combination skin ...
There was even 1 time when Ah Yee asked me am I using any whitening products ? Do I look like the kind that can afford SK II or Estee Lauder products ? Absoultely not !!! Whatever I use on my face is all affordble I guess . Never use any facial masks at all too even though I did tried using a clay mask before . Eeyeh.. I looked like a mess & the tube cost me a bomb so much so that I was so fed up with it I threw the whole thing the next day *hoot in laughter*
I'm crossing my fingers & toes & pratically everything in my body now that my results will be a-ok to me that's ... Will I post my grades up in here ? It all depends on me ;p
Yesterday night I did something rather unforgiving . Now now before your imagination runs wild , it's nothing hanky panky for starters ;p . Disappointed ? I thought so heh
I ate an ENTIRE box of chocolates that I bought from a shop in Mt Fuji aka last week's trip to Japan . I was supposed to give the box to the band but ALAMAK me being frickin greedy , I finished the whole thing yesterday !!! & can I just tell you that the chocolates were so so so so NICE & CRUNCHY ???? & not to mention what cute packaging it had ...
I could have wait & eat 1 chocolate a day but I thought I better finish all at 1 day before my cravings acted up again & guess what happened ? I got up at 7.30am today with a BAD HANGOVER & HEADACHE , the type you get when you drink too much . Well in this case , it's eating too much chocolate/sugar :S :S So not funny I tell you , maybe later on in the afternoon I go & take a nap . Adio , I'm so terrible if you ask me .. & eariler I almost wanna put heartache heh heh ;p
Later on , have to collect something from Hui Lin aka a white ipod nano in which I was given a voucher from Singnet after Mama signed & upgraded our broadband speed . Initally I don't know where the place to collect it is but after seeing yesterday on the street directory I now have a rough idea where it's located at.
OH NO , tomorrow's the day where my results will be released online via the e-student portal . *panics* I actually roughly know how I fare for my 3rd semester but still a bit scared here & there , I do hope that everything will turn out ok for tomorrow . *crossing fingers & toes*
& now at the moment in order to pass time , I just gamble at the comfort of my own home then heh . I still have no luck in winning the trophy for the 50K 5 Card Poker Tournament in which the 1st prize's a cool 1.5 million $$ so I'm gonna try again later on...
[guess what ? I did won it after all , I can't believe it either , it was the easiest Tournament I ever sat though , what a breeze ! Next 1 to tackle is the 5 Card Low Hand Tournament !]
++++++++
Wheeeeeee I finally got my new pair of specs eariler this morning . It's so cool especially the 2 clip on sunglasses that were inside the spec case :) So I officially retire my old pair today & in comes the new 1 oh yeah..
Other than that , I also went to the market to alter my school pants which they were frickin loose & baggy now . Too loose & baggy I must add . I have been wearing them for almost 1 1/2 years & it was only recently that all my fat clothes started to fall on me . Why even the auntie in the shop commented that I don't look fat & she can't believe that I used to wear that school pants of mine heh so I think I will get them back on Fri
After I hit the gym soon after I came home , I wanted to go out to buy lunch but I didn't in the end cos Ah Pa wanted me to finish last night's spinach & beancurd . The meat dishes were terrible looking so I cooked a can of Ayam Brand tuna with the healthy logo sign as the tuna's not drenched in oil but mineral water instead . I'm so stuffed now , I only managed to finish 1/2 of it eariler so I saved it up so that I can eat them later on in the afternoon..
++++++++
Went to watch Sky High eariler & boy oh boy , did I enjoyed the show a LOT !!! I really really like it & even though the plot's predictable here & there but still it's such a nice sweet movie & it does help that it's a Walt Disney flim .
In case you wanna know what the movie is all about , here's a little summary:
"Most teenagers cringe at the thought of meeting their parents' high expectations--good grades, well-behaved friends, and a plan for the future--and none more so than Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano), the son of legendary superheroes Commander (Kurt Russell) and Jetstream (Kelly Preston).
This clever Disney comedy follows Will from his first day as star student at Sky High, an elite school for the children of superheroes.The only problem is that Will apparently has no special powers, and he can't let his parents find out! Lacking the abilities needed to attend hero classes, Will falls in with the misfit sidekicks, whose only powers include turning into a guinea pig, glowing, and melting. However, when an old villain with a new power reappears on the scene, the pressure is on Will and his sidekicks to save his parents, his school, and the earth itself."
It has been a while since I last enjoyed watching a movie very much & I rate this 8/10 . It's really heartwarming & I always love watching Walt Disney flims . In fact I think I watch more of them in my life than any other flims cos I love them at heart . I grew up with the classics like Snow White , Beauty & The Beast , Aladdin to name a few . My absolute all time fave movie ? It has to be 94's The Lion King . What a masterpiece & somemore I just love happy endings to any movies :) Yeah I'm a sucker for them but I just like such genres when comes to movies.
Can't wait for the VCD of Sky High to roll on now YAY
Oh no 1 more week before I will be starting school next week :( Sniff , wish my holidays will be longer but to no avail boo hoo hoo
Maybe to cheer myself up & chase away the Monday blues & blah's today , I will go & watch Sky High later in the afternoon . I seen the trailers of it on Disney Channel as early as 3 months ago . It has got really good reviews so far from critics & it looks really interesting & fun + also go to the arcade & kick more butt again . I know I went yesterday but it's not enough for me haha
Just a random thought that I have , is it me or does Franz Ferdinand & The Bravery sound the same as in voice & music wise ??? I don't know but it's just me that lead singers Alex & Sam's voice pitch are a tad smiliar if you ask me . I was wondering as I was listening to Franz Ferdinand's 2 albums & The Bravery's self titled album that's why this thought popped up in my head..
Currently I'm into really rock stuff like Franz Ferdinand,Hard Fi , The Bravery,All American Rejects,Low Millions , The Rasmus,Electrico,Rivermaya,Linkin Park are some of the bands I'm digging in now . I'm gonna download Lillix & The Faders's songs soon as I really like them , girl power !!

You folks must be wondering what my typical diet now that I've gone on Atkins for the past 4 1/2 months already . Before that , let me run though a rough skim on my horrible & terrible eating habits before Atkins changed all that.
I gradually started gaining weight when I was in Pri 5 when puberty hits me & also the fact that I was constantly bullied in school didn't help matters too.Somemore I eat whenever I'm hungry/sad/happy/angry & the vicious cycle continues on.
I was force fed with veggies since young & when I started to have a mind of my own , I stopped eating them as it sorta trumanised me in a very bad way so I was stuck eating nothing but meat,rice,pasta,noodles,bread,potatoes,junk food of all kinds,deep fried stuff,sweets,desserts ,tea with tons of sugar + milk & the mother of all , soft/packaged drinks.My worst habit was that I was able to down 10-11 of them in 1 day ! Yeah it was terrible.. & it didn't help that I hate exercise & felt that it's so boring.I was a couch potato..
I did tried to lose weight then & again but my efforts were only 1/2 hearted & they only lasted for a few weeks or worst days before I go back . Eventually I ballooned to almost 100kg this year , my heaviest weight record ever & the fact that not able to wear any nice or cute clothes is kinda crap & made me even lousier than ever.Not to mention Mama's constant nagging at me to do something about this..
I also use all those stupid slimming pills/teas & even convinced Mama to sign me up in a slimming centre.Needless to say , none of them works at ALL
Now , all that has changed ever since I embarked on Atkins at the beginning of July this year.I threw out all the bad stuff that I used to eat & now my typical diet consists of eggs,meat,nuts,cheese,low carb vegetables,salads, fruits,tons of water,beancurd & also my savior sugar free products.I try to eat more fish from time to time & I can safely say that I like eating veggies now . Don't understand what's the big fuss on the fact that I hate them when I was a kid . Ha typical & 4 1/2 months ago , I wouldn't even dream of eating salads which I used to hate eating them but like them now.
The turning point came when I read my classmate's blog entry on that she's a full blown diabetic & that she's only 19 !! I was like ' I don't need to be strike down with obese related diseases & get diabetes & die or drop dead at a very young age with weight related issues!' Somemore I suspected I already had symptons of diabetes & it didn't help matters that my maternal grandma got it too so I had to do something .
I was talking to Yee Ma 1 day about my weight & she suggested that I should go to Atkins's website & embark on it . I was skeptical after I read the information on the website.I was like ' what the heck' so decided to try it . The 1st time that I did it wasn't successful,I didn't follow the instructions carefully & then gave up . Eventually when Yee Ma passed me the book that she bought in Korea , I read it & after 2 days , something just clicked in my mind that it's time & that I can do this !
Well guess what?After being on the program for almost close to 4 1/2 months , it has healed my relationship with food & that it has make me a better person . My confidence & energy level has been skyrocketed & being able to throw out 3/4 of my fat clothes from my warerobe is fanastic nonehtheless ! I'm able to fit in into most of my old outfits now & I like exercising now.
I used to eat & pig out like mad . Whatever food's in front of me , I just eat it & then some . Now I have the discipline to say no to certain foods that I can't eat which's really amazing.Sometimes in the program , I relax a bit here & there but generally I'm strict when comes to eating the right foods at this time & not to mention exercise too.
I always thought that diets are something that comes & goes from time to time . Not anymore .. I'm not going back to my old eating habits for sure & also after losing a decent amount of weight at the moment , it's damn cool & getting compliements from my relatives & friends is even better too.
1 thing I know is now food's not going to control my life & that I have gain control of my own life.& after sending you guys some pics of myself which Mama took during our 1 week trip to Japan , I guess I can say that results don't lie that Atkins has work wonders for me !
Ate SO much yesterday during last night's dinner where the whole family went to Long Beach Seafood Restaurant to eat which's located Marina Bay South . Haven't been there for a very long time I must add . I ate so much stuff like deep fried baby squids,butter garlic prawns,sambal belachan kangkong & the star of the meal crispy fried duck ! Mee Goreng was also ordered but I didn't had it as I don't really like it but yes I ate so much I thought I was gonna give way in due time ;p
My , this week will be the last week of my holidays before I officially start school & my final semester on 21st & it wouldn't be long before I know my results on how I fare during my 3rd semester which will be released online on Thurs . Hopefully I wouldn't screw up anything even though I only took 3 subjects *crossing fingers*
Other than that , the last week of my holidays , I have tons of things to do , like collect the free ipod nano for Hui Lin , my new specs & also probably meet Dan for teh depending whether is he free a not . If so , then I probably see him on Thurs or Fri.
++++++++
Oh yeah made my new pair of specs eariler in Jurong East & the last I checked with my optician , I had this current pair that I'm wearing now for almost 4 years now . The new 1 that I'm gonna get next week is rectangle frames & comes with 2 clip on sunglasses which're in light blue & black YAY *dances around* 2 leh , not 1 clip on sunglasses frame ! This's so cool , it's about time I tell you!
I also had my degree checked & woah , only an increase of 25 degrees for each of my eyes . My left eye's degree's 375 while my right eye's degree's 325 . Not bad I say , considering the fact that the last time I got my degree checked was 4 years ago lol , I know I'm so shameless it hurts & everything in total cost only S$190 which I think is really value for $ . For a moment there I thought it will cost a bomb as compared to Ah Yee's specs which cost her a staggering S$800-900 !!!!
I'm so excited in getting my new specs/frame & I really really like the light blue sunglasses clip on's . The color's so nice & who says that sunglasses clip on's only have to be in dull black in color?
++++++++
Spoke to BaoSui eariler on MSN & we were just talking on what to do when she comes back home from Sydney on Dec 4th . Besides shopping , we talked about changing my hairstyle . I think it's time that I should do something on the way my hair looks , it has been like that since forever . I don't wanna do anything drastic like dying my hair or shave it , I just want a fresh new change on the fact that I'm losing weight & also the new year's coming so I thought why not?
Haven't seen her for a fricking long time , not sure will I be going to the airport & welcome her back , depending on what Mama said lor but it will be fun to have her back . Miss the old days where the both of us do naughty stuff behind our parents's backs heh
Anyway she has lots of things to do in mind when she returns back home , it's like a laundry list I think but oh well hope she will get everything done .
Sky's cloudy & overcast now . Mmm.. not a good sign if you ask me , gonna hit the gym later on . No mood to go out today , quite sian actually...
++++++++
Mama uploaded the pics that she took when I was in Japan into the computer & eeyeh , I looked really FAT & UGLY in those pics that I'm in :S :S :S but it's not as bad as the pics she took when everyone went to Korea 2 years ago where I looked really HUGE in the pics . So as usual , if you want to see some of them , just drop me a line on my tagboard & I will send you the links of some pics that I'm in . Mind you , I'm not the most beautiful nor photogenic person around here so you have to pardon me on that!
If you're 1 of the 'lucky' folks who managed to receive the pics , I'm the 1 usually in the black sunglasses ;p
I exercised today for let's see... 1h 40 mins today ! 50 mins in the morning & late afternoon respectively as I was bored & I had plenty of time to spend . Somemore the gym's just a 5 min walk from my house so I thought why not ? It beats sitting on my ass in front of the computer for almost like forever . I can't do it at 1 shot , I would drop dead so I had to spilt up the timings.
Who knows , maybe on those days that I feel really bored or if I have too much time on my hands , I go to the gym twice...

WAST UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm finally back from my trip to Japan , aside from a few misses here & there , Japan was fanastic ! So many interesting things to do/see & not to mention eat !
I had a really memorable time there no doubt about it & the experience going there is just amazing lah , I can't really put a price on it .
I could go on & on about it in here but I think if I were to squeeze out the biggest to the smallest things that I have done in Japan , it will take forever I tell you!
I spent almost 4 hours typing what exactly I have done in Japan in MS Word this morning & I didn't realised how much crap I wrote in there haha so interested folks who wish to know what I have done exactly , drop me a line in my tagboard & I gladly send you the link over pronto . I really can't put everything on here or else this entry of mine will go on & on until I don't know , can't stop...
++++++++
A few more hours before I'm heading to the land of the rising sun aka Japan ! Yeah baby , can't wait for it , in case you're wondering the places of attractions that I will be visting in the next few days , here's a general scoop of it:
Tour Highlights:
Tokyo Disneyland or Disneysea
Universal Studios Japan
Bullet Train Ride
Kingakuji Temple
Kimono Show
Hard Rock Cafe Souvenir Shop
New Attractions:
Kyoto Gion's Hanami Geisha Street
Tokyo Bay Cruise Ride
Odaiba Park:The Most Popular Leisure Destination In Tokyo
Romantic Trolley Train Ride
Funny enough , Jeff & Jasmine are going to Japan too haha! on the day that I will be coming back home , freaky thing's , I think they're going to the same places that I will be going too ! Wah lau , deja vu or what?
Tomorrow morning I will be visiting the Osaka Castle & I'm SO SO SO SO looking forward to go to Universal Studios Japan after that I tell you! . FINALLY it has been almost 10 years since I last went , to the 1 at the USA so this's gonna relieve some memories for me ! If you ask me , I'm only really looking forward to Universal Studios & Tokyo Disneyland haha & I probably gonna ride most of the rides in Universal Studios , I still can remember I did the E.T bicycle ride sia !
But yes to whoever kind soul is reading this , I'm taking a hiatus for obvious reasons in blogging here for almost 1 week so don't miss me too much yeah ?ehehehehe
++++++++
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's SO HOT HOT HOT & very humid right now , I just can't take this kinda weather as it will make me absoultely mad/angry/pissed & not to mention VERY moody ! Ugh , that's 1 of the reasons why I hate the sun a LOT which explains why I'm so fair.Oh the irony
I haven't packed the last few essentials for tomorrow's trip.I plan to do so after I hit the gym & bath & do all these things when my dad's not around or else he will make me even more fed up. I plan to travel light if possible so I try not to bring so much junk along or else it will spoil my mood during the whole 1 week when I'm away.
The temperature in Japan's now around like 18-20 degrees so should be ok I guess but to me I think it's neither cold or hot , hopefully it wouldn't pour like last time when I went to the states in '96 for 2 weeks , it was pouring like crazy when I went to Disneyland , my jumper was soaked though & it wasn't funny at all !
Daniel emailed me back yesterday after being swamped with tons of crazy things to do in which 1 of them was last week's double bill gig . I was surprised of course especially since I have been SO lazy not to email him back for 1 week already haha but no lah kidding , the whole gang has been really tied up with SO many gigs to do , wouldn't be long before the 2nd album hit the stores man YAY
I have emailed him back & I doubt I'm gonna get his reply real soon as he told me that he got a whole stack of things to do in conjunction with his job which's so not funny at all but oh well work's more important for the dude but yes I told him I wanna see him after I come back home , it will be fun that's for sure ;)
Guess what , in the end , I didn't make my way to the gym bcos' I figured that since later on I'm going to walk to my grandma's house for dinner , I thought I better skip it & somemore it's still FRICKIN hot , I'm dying here man . Somebody shoot me...
I already packed most of the stuff already , aside from some others which I will do so tomorrow probably in the morning/afternoon...
& oh yeah have you ever wonder that pic of the woman holding the pair of sai daggers?She's my hero aside from Catwoman of course heh heh , would you believe me if I say that she's not human , at all ??
