Before I dished out some more latest music news , let me tell you , I had a rather hard time sleeping cos my muscles were all really sore after I step things up to pump more iron than usual but it's a good sign in the way my body's reacting . Ah , gonna repeat the whole cycle later on when I hit the gym in the afternoon. Today's to work on my upper body.Gotta give my lower body a rest today ..
The Original Doll
From Wikipedia.org, the free encyclopedia

The Original Doll is the working title of the fifth studio album of American pop music singer Britney Spears. It is due to be released in 2006. Album Information It was originally set for release in late spring or early summer of 2005 and was to include the first single, "Mona Lisa". Britney Spears played this when she visited a US radio station in late 2004, where she spoke about the album. However, Jive Records later released a statement saying the album was being worked on, but no release date had been set. Spears called into TRL US in early 2005 and mentioned that there would be no new album for this year, though she did say that "Mona Lisa" would be featured on a "show" of some sort; this turned out to be her reality show Britney and Kevin: Chaotic. Michelle Lynn Bell (writer of Chaotic, I've Just Begun (Having My Fun), and many Jennifer Lopez tracks) has been working with Britney on tracks for the album.
The following songs have recently been registered on ASCAP and are said to be planned for "The Original Doll":

Kevz from GW posted this up so I thought why not I do so in here too haha but hmm... if that's really gonna be Britney's 5th album cover , then what can I say ? I really like it!
1 of my fave bands at the mo , Fort Minor , they will release their next single after the very very catchy & successful Believe Me . What's it you ask ? Well it will be Petrified !! WOO I love it even though I thought they will release Remember The Name but ah still it's a good choice they chosen to release
Nickelback's 2nd single after the touching Photograph , is Far Away & let me tell you , Far Away packs more punch than Photograph . I don't know why but I'm more drawn to Far Away than Photograph.
& lastly , Switchfoot's 2nd single after the soar lifting Stars . They will release We're One Tonight & this I gotta thank Irf for sending me the track . I really really LOVE it . Hmm... seems like the artistes that I mentioned before including Switchfoot , it's like they release better sounding 2nd tracks than their 1st 1 , I don't know why but hey it all boils down to good 'ol music!

Been dreaming for some weird things throughout the whole day when I was sleeping . The dreams were so real I was about to walk up in the middle of the night & just screamed just like that
Man I never know that the stuff I dreamt about were so ... drama . It's like I'm seeing into the future on the misfortunates that might happen to my family & relatives . Ick , is this some kinda sign/s from above ? Hmm.. I don't know but all I know's that bcos of this , I woke up late today & have to delay going to the gym after I come back from school -_-
I have some form of a 6th sense in me it seems that it can come sometimes outta the blue , I can sense future danger that will befall on me . It's weird but true . It saved me from a lot of sticky situations I must add . What I wouldn't go into details..
Realised that I been starting to bite my fingernails again . Ick not a good sign , put on the nail varnish again on Sun , seems to work from stopping me to bite them again . I don't wanna bite them again it's all so damn gross if you ask me
Mr Paul just told the class that this week's CA which has been shifted to Thurs , will be a very very HARD paper :( :( :( . Oh no ... tell me about it , only got a few pages to study & he said that it wouldn't help much & that I have to study outta the box .
Probably when I go home , I will ransack whatever material that can help me , I so don't wanna fail this CA no matter how hard it will be . No more excuses or anything , I'm gonna put in the extra effort to study for this prim & proper & no it wouldn't be another case of 'no action , talk only' again
++++++++
Another day , another new week . Anything new ? You bet ! For starters this week will be the last week of me having school before I embark on my 1 week holiday break next week in which will last me when school will reopen again on Jan 3rd . Mind you I'm SO looking forward to a long deserved break ! More sleep for starters haha
I mentioned eariler before I been slipping off the low carb diet in a really terrible way , so this time I'm gearing & putting my foot down to ensure that I wouldn't be so lazy as before . Today when I worked out at the gym , I thought I stepped things up a bit & increased the weight of the weight machines I use & also increased the speed of the treadmill I brisk walked on . Man it kicked my butt but in a way I'm pushing myself to work a bit more harder .
Mind you , I SO don't have a superstar body , my arms are still a bit flabby & I think my whole body is not proportionate at all haha but I'm working on it to make my body a bit better . I'm planning to step things up to pump a bit more iron than usual , to work on my upper & lower body on alternate days to give my muscle tissues a rest . This time , I'm not gonna slack , I worked my arse out so damn hard for the past 5 1/2 months ++ so yeah I don't want all my hard earned efforts to just go down the drain like that ..
I remembered a period of time , I was exercising like a mad dog in that I forced myself to go 2 hours a day but now I think it's just crazy & limit to doing 1 hour a day . I try to only rest on Sun's but hey depend on my mood ha & I will still brisk walk on the treadmill 45 mins every session , never ever gonna run on it I swear!
In addition , I'm also trying to save $ in cutting down buying the low carb stuff as I realised that they're not cheap & I will only buy them whenever I'm craving for them & that will satisfy my sweet tooth on the spot . I been saving $ like 1 mad woman for the past few weeks , it's crazy , my piggy bank's so heavy now I tell you!
It's weird , usually when I have $ , I have something in mind I wanna get but this time nooo I been saving up $ cos I figure that in the future I have things that I wanna buy . Er.. actually I have , stuff like Electrico's 2nd album haha
Bummer , I have a test this coming Fri , it's the 1st CA for my International Trading subject . I haven't started studying anything for the test , it's terrible I know . Got 3 chapters to let my brain digest . I should start soon probably tonight as I wouldn't wanna panic at the last min like what happened during the past few tests!

Found out that The Rasmus's 2nd single after the fanastic No Fear will be Sail Away ! Awesome , I love the song a LOT & it's kinda no surprise that will be the next single taken from their 6th album Hide From The Sun
A kinda disappointing news's that Kelly Clarkson's 5th single wouldn't be Addicted :( Instead it will be Walk Away which in my opinion is not really strong as compared to Addicted . Oh well hopefully Walk Away will break some new ground for Ms Clarkson which her current 4 singles that she released so far has been fanastic & great
& what else... ah yes Sugababes's 2nd single from their 4th album Taller In Most Ways is titled Ugly after the very successful comeback UK no1 single Push The Button . I saw the video of Ugly the other day & it's kinda cool , I love the lyrics of it as well , kinda reminds me of TLC's Unpretty , very meaningful stuff
Canadian Daniel Powter whom in my opinion is really talented & totally eye candy material ( even though he's 34 already but so what man ahahaha ) , his 3rd single after Jimmy Gets High & the massive successful Bad Day , is Free Loop . Caught the video just only yesterday during Chart Attack ( where he won against James Blunt's Goodbye My Lover woo hoo ) & I LOVE it , it's a damn cool video . I love Free Loop , still hoping that he will release my fave track off his self titled CD which's Hollywood ..
Last but certainly not least , Ms Ashlee Simpson's 2nd single after the rawkin Boyfriend will be the single that she supposed to release initally but didn't so in a way I'm surprised that she has choosen to release L.O.V.E which I don't think it's really that good . She should release something more stronger such as Beautifully Broken , In Another Life , Coming Back For More or Catch Me When I Fall.
The video to L.O.V.E's out already & Irf said that it sucks & that it's the worst video of the year lol but I haven't seen it yet so I can't give my comments on that as for now ..

Been reading Sheila's FAQ like forever & as everyone or anyone know or doesn't know , whenever my dad doesn't buy dishes from hawker centres for dinner , I always stop by Cold Storage ( my fave being the Jelita outlet ! ) to buy their 1st choice salad bowls & some meat stuff.
I always buy the Baby Caesar bowls but there's a catch to it :: the dressing inside the bowl is LOW FAT & as all low carb dieters know , low fat stuff are an absoulte no no for me to take . So I'm thinking later on when I stop by Cold Storage again , I would buy a bottle of CarbOptions dressing & throw away the low fat dressing . Problem's I don't know should I buy the blue cheese or ranch dressing that're available lol but I gonna think about it on the bus when I make my way there.
Many low fat or fat free dressings are padded with sugar and other carbohydrates to make up for the removed fat.
So I'm guessing the only time I really will eat Caesar salad is when I go to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to have it then & yes croutons are used in Caesar salads . A packet of it is always found in the salad bowls & what do I do with it ? Simple I feed the croutons to the many koi's found downstairs of my house lol
Update :: So after I worked out , I went to Cold Storage to buy my lunch & yes including the Carb Options Ranch dressing . I gave it a try & put some on my salad & the verdict ? I LOVE IT , it's FABOO & there's not a hint of sourness when I 1st dipped my veggies into the dressing .
The price of it's a bit steep man , $8.95 to be exact but ah it's worth every buck I spent on it simply bcos it will last me for a while & yup you guessed it , I threw away the low fat dressing packet into the dustbin lol
I must admit that when I 1st tried the low fat dressing , it was really sour & bleh , I don't know why I still managed to stomach it haha but now with this ranch dressing that I bought , I suppose I will be using it for a while now :) Was the 1st time I tried ranch dressing on my salad , taste wise it's a cross between sour cream & mayo which can't be all that bad innit?

I was reading the Dear Kelly column in the latest Jan issue of Teenage & what Kelly wrote in there this time stuck me cos it's something related to what I'm doing right now :: blogging
The past few months 3 guys were charged for leaving lewd & terrible comments on what they wrote in their blogs , 1 in particular is related to what he wrote about the malay community . I realised that after these guys were charged in court for what they have done , I have to be more careful,assertive & firm on what I plan to write cos I don't know who might be reading my blog at all .
A blog is something that any & everyone can read on the net so whatever I plan to write on next etc , I have to be careful on what I have to say , in short hold my tongue lah . Whenever I have a person in mind that I hate or whatever , my stand's that I would never ever put his/her name on here for fear he/she might read it & what will happen next man ,sue me ? No way
Next time if you have a blah moment or issue with someone , try not to take it out on here . It's really not worth it unless you do have an anger management problem then er probably lol , maybe going to the beach & screaming your lungs out will work or the most simple solution : SLEEP!
So to all fellow bloggers , hold your tongue & be assertive & firm on what you plan to write , you don't know which donkey person will be reading it .
TGIF!!!!

Supposed to go down gymming & what happened ? Yes you guessed it , TOO LAZY to move my arse downstairs , I supposed now that I have a habit of working out real early in the morning , I think it's the result of my laziness that gets in the way but ah I will go down tomorrow & besides my period did got in the way today so you gotta pardon me
I thought about this issue long & hard when I was in the bus after school finished in that I will only buy the Atkins Advantage or Endulge Bars ONLY when I have a sweet tooth as 1stly they're oh so not cheap & it wouldn't be fair if I keep on asking so much $ from my mum to buy them every week . In a way I'm saving $ for her & myself simply bcos at the rate that I'm eating , it can be quite a chore .
Having said or in here wrote that , I better honour my word & I realised that with regards to the low carb diet , I been slacking & slipping slowly from the radar so I better get my butt on gear since I still wanna lose somemore weight & I certainly don't wanna waste all the efforts that I have put in to shed the extra pounds on my frame . I have come this far & to let it all die down , will be a big pity .
Besides I don't wanna fall into the ' no action , talk only' category . It will be tough no doubt about it as I really really have a sweet tooth but I will try . The fact that I'm willing to blog about this shows that I got the courage to admit that I have a problem now (hopefully)..
I read in mtvasia.com that Maksim's gonna stage a concert tomorrow at the Philippine International Convention Center in Manila, The Philippines !!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I SO wanna go & see him perform *cries*
He did made his way to S'pore to stage a gig before but obviously I didn't went for it *sob* so now I'm crossing my fingers big time that he will come back & stage another gig cos if he does I SO will wanna go man , I'm a fan of his music now & he's just so talented !
"A native of Sibenik in Croatia, Maksim is credited for crossing over to the mainstream and bringing classical piano music to a more contemporary audience, much like what Josh Groban and Charlotte Church did for classical pop music."
He has released 4 CDs so far in which I'm really hoping to get all of them cos it's so hard to find songs on him as he's a pianist but as always , I'm broke to death so if any kind soul can get his 4 CDs that he released namely The Piano Player , Gestures , Variations Part I and Part II & his latest album A New World , I will be thanking you like 1 kind man!
Or if all else fails , I'm gonna put that in my birthday wishlist as well haha or maybe ask my aunt to buy for me as advanced pressies!
++++++++
I read Su-H's blog eariler & was nearly scared to death that she wanna delete her blog :S Yo girl don't delete it lah , it's not worth it at all & besides you have come a long way in blogging so why take the risk to delete everything ? I enjoyed reading your blog entries (hopefully you do too lol) so all the more you shouldn't do that at all!
Woo FINALLY after slogging hard in the computer lab for the past few weeks , the 3 of us finally managed to finish everything for our E-Business Project YAY . Which means no more staying in school late til 6pm every Tue & Wed haha ! But aside from that , it takes blood , sweat & tears to finish this 'grand scale' project . I handled up the soft copies of our project in the report & website format to Mr Bernard eariler so now the only thing/s left are printing the report in hard copy & doing presentation on 3rd Jan so the 3 of us have to come back for 1 more session to present our stuff to Mr Bernard which's no biggie
I don't mind doing the presentation as long as I get everything all cleared & wrapped up cos in a way I'm very lazy , I want to catch up on my sleep big time so yeah I might be reckless at times but sometimes it's all for the better I think even though I must admit it does get in my way!
Just as I thought , I woke up today with a big bad heartache & I felt sick to the gut after I overate too much cakes & chocolate during yesterday's dessert buffet & so many small plates of seafood pallea rice & yeah I feel HORRENDOUS now , you know the kinda hangover you get after you drink too much ? Yup exactly so I'm guessing it's back to eating the normal low carb way today again then :)
It's funny you ask me , I don't get all those symptoms before I followed the low carb way of eating but now that I take in quantities of 'bad' carbs like what I mentioned eariler , I will feel really really lousy & blah & to make things worst , I'm having my period + cramps too right now , so much for a night's out of eating -_-
Guess it's not so fun to break the rules & to eat whatever I feel like . Ah well what to do that always happen once a month if such things happen so looks like it's back to eating the low carb way then & the fact that I still wanna lose somemore weight before reaching my goal weight speaks for itself !
++++++++
Before I go on what I had for dinner , I want to apologise to Zhen big time for what I had done today . At least Dao Liang gave me a frickin big scolding which I think I deserved . Anyway I wouldn't go on what happened but I cleared the air about that with her eariler on MSN in school so everything's fine now . I even jokingly said to her that I should teach Dao Liang some pointers to scold me even better haha! So to my friend , a thousand apologises again
The whole family went to eat a buffet dinner & bloody hell , 1st time ever they were serving DESSERT buffet too :O & yes you guess it , I had some . I whacked some cakes & chocolate & a ton of seafood pallea rice . The cakes were so bloody sweet but damn good but unfortunately fattening . The dessert buffet's seriously for someone who has a bloody damn sweet tooth . After 2 plates of cake , I gave up cos I started to have a really bad headache from taking in too much sugar.
Well I told my folks that I officially gone off Atkins in a way in that I will do it in my own version so I will still be eating low carb , exercise & etc . All those 'bad' stuff that I'm not supposed to eat or drink , I try to limit in only having them once a month . Well I try lah cos I'm like the most laziest person in this place of planet Earth & it's not like I have iron willpower discipline to achieve a damn hot bod haha
7 Things That Scare Me ::
1) Foods like frog legs & oysters . They look gross to me & I so pity the poor frogs that're slaughtered just for their legs :S
2) Dogs that the police uses . I remembered as a kid , my neighbour had such a dog & that time I provoked it , it CHASED me from 1 end to the other end & I almost pratically got whacked/ killed if my neighbour wasn't there to restrain the crazy dog lol
3) The way the Japanese eat raw food . I always see them eating raw stuff straight away after they catch their seafood on board the ship . They would just use a knife , plow it open & just eat it like that . Don't they wash the seafood they caught before consuming it ? ick
4) Horror movies ! My ex secondary school made my class watched The Eye by force & guess what ? I couldn't sleep a wink for 2 WEEKS after watching it :O So next time whoever want to date me or see a movie with me , PLEASE don't choose a horror movie , I prefer comedies anytime !
5) Roaches especially flying ones , rats also
6) Hair on raw pork skin that's really frickin GROSS
7) Bloody stuff , enuff said!
7 Things That People Don't/ Might Not Know About Me ::
1) I love playing Street Fighter games at the arcade . My choice of game/s ? Marvel Vs Capcom , X Men Vs Street Fighter , Marvel Vs Street Fighter . I always kick some serious butt every Sun at Westmall's E Zone arcade so if you don't see me on MSN on Sun , you know why & who says such games are only for guys to play ?
2) I love gambling , I self taught myself since really young to learn & play Mahjong ( in Hong Kong & Taiwan styles) , almost 10 different styles of Poker , Roulette , Blackjack (too chicken feet for me ) , Baraccat , Keno etc
3) I don't like the nightlife & surprise surprise I'm the sort of person who very rarely seldom stay out so late at night . I prefer going out in the late morning/afternoon than at night . I rather stay at home & sleep
4) I want my ideal height to be 1.79m but it seems impossible to reach :( I'm still stuck at 1.75m though
5) I was a complete spoilt sport & pampered brat when I was a kid . My parents at 1 time almost gave up on me cos my behavior was too much for them to handle lmao
6) I'm an Ice Queen , it takes a lot for me to be defrost & show my feelings to the world as most of the time I have stoned cold feelings even though the last time I almost baffled my eyes out when I was watching Sky High
7) My dialect's Hokkien but I can't speak or understand it for nuts ! My mum's Cantonese but I can converse with her in it & sometimes even understand what my maternal grandma says should she talk to me in Cantonese
7 Artistes That I Like Listening To At The Mo ::
1) Fort Minor
2) Fall Out Boy
3) N*E*R*D
4) The Rasmus
5) Franz Ferdinand
6) The Click Five
7) Ashlee Simpson
7 Things That People Like While I Don't ::
1) Harry Potter , Lord Of The Rings , Star Wars . Sorry to say but I personally find them BORING to bits & overhyped !
2) The nightlife , I don't like to go to clubs/pubs/discos . I felt that they're a waste of $ & I rather spend my $ on other pratical things like food . To pay $10 for a glass of normal Lime juice is quite lame & not to mention stupid
3) Smoking enuff said !
4) Queuing especially when there're freebies involved in it !
5) Shopping during peak seasons like xmas , the malls will be so bloody crowded
6) Aunties liking Bae Jong Yun *rolls eyes* is he really an Auntie killer ? He looks like a bore to me haha
7) A lot of people are into branded goods but not me . The only thing they're spending so much $ on a pair of Levi jeans's just the brand . Why spend so much $ on it , you might as well go get a pair of unbranded jeans which will look good on you & save you so much $ & that $ can probably buy you a meal or 2
++++++++
Ok my folks are going be back in no time later on in the afternoon . Man I was so hoping that they would stay longer in Genting but no suck luck -_- but I did have fun being the Mistress of the house the last few days heh heh
Talk about hotness in a bad way , it's really hot now , I'm pratically burnin up like iterally , fan at full blast also doesn't help much at all . Adio , want aircon but the only place in my house's in the living room . Damnit , I need some rain now , please ???
Yee Ma's coming back from London this Fri morning , I really hope I can be there at the airport to welcome her back home depending whether my folks will allow me . I hope so cos I don't have sch on Fri so that's ok I suppose . Now the part's how am I gonna get there ??
Here're the latest batch of earrings to be added to my collection :) I bought the left pair eariler at Takashimaya while the right pair I bought it yesterday at Suntec City . Ha couldn't resist buying them while I got the chance to if you asked me & oh the crystals are silver heart ones . I got a pair of them in pink crystals remember ? This's the other pair which's silver or I think in this case colorless ::

++++++++
After some serious careful thoughts , I decided to abadon doing Atkins but before you will go 'I told you so' , hold your tongue.
I'm not really going to stop going on a low carb diet , it's just that now I have the skills to really know how to do it prime & proper , I decided that I shouldn't really stick to the way Atkins is so I thought why not I do it in my own way where I have 100% control & in some cases freedom & leeway?I think that should be the way even though I must admit I will still continue to use the Atkins Advantage & Endulge chocolate bars
Furthermore if I were to do Atkins prim & proper , I would have to be super frickin strict & would you believe it , count the no.of carb grams I consume each day??ick...
For me now , I will cave in a bit during the weekends but when comes to the weekdays I will be quite strict & particular on what I put in my mouth & also on exercising . Besides I'm not in a hurry to reach my goal weight so I know eventually I will reach there which's 63kg which I personally think it's perfect & just right for my height given the fact that I'm tall & oh did I mention that being tall's an asset for me especially for a girl ? haha
Talk about delayed timing , I woke up today to discover that my period has come . About time you say cos it didn't came last week so I was wondering what's going on ? Probably I was so stressed out over nothing the past few days & that triggered it to come lol but ah well at least it came , goes to show that my body system's 'normal'
I chomped down some sugar free jelly beans that I bought a few days ago . Yum 10 different flavors to choose from ha , my fave?The buttered popcorn flavor ! Ah..it really taste like the real McCoy if you asked me !
Come to think of it , now that I'm having my period again , I'm expecting the worst in that I have to eat more to keep my energy level going cos you know it's quite notorious that in some women , they have to keep on eating constantly to keep them going for the day . I'm in that category unfortunately so yeah man gotta plan ahead or else I will be dunking my head in tons of warm water !
Going out later on to do somemore window shopping , hopefully this time I will finally buy something for the week!
++++++++
Gonna do window shopping later on in the afternoon after I hit the gym , it beats cooping up in home doesn't it?Somemore after doing all that , I have to make my way to Ah Ma's house for dinner woo hoo
Man 1st time ever I'm all alone at home , the feeling's all weird & surreal . For once no 1's there to wake me up big time & it's all too quiet except the songs that I'm blasting on the computer now haha
I'm planning to go to Raffles City & then eventually make my to Suntec City , I haven't step inside Carrefour for a very LONG time so ya wanna check things out in both places & oh did I mention I'm gonna plan to buy another pair of bling bling earrings from Perlini again :) , will make me broke again no doubt about it but I don't care lah ahahaha
Tomorrow then I go to Westmall & hit the arcade to kick some serious butt ! & a 'useless' fact , today's S'pore Idol's Taufik Batisah's bday in that he turns 24 , pretty cool I guess & somemore ZoukOut's happening tonight at 8pm-8am . Dan & gang will be playing a 45 min set at 2am -_- so late wah lau so obviously I wouldn't be going for the event cos the nightlife's not for me , I rather sleep at home honestly speaking haha
Talking about Dan , haven't seen him for a while now , probably I go & see him next week depending on my laziness & my school timetable schedule ha!
++++++++
Han Lei sent me my 1st xmas card for this year awwwwwwwwww :) :) :) she's a real sweetie thanks a lot darling I appericate it a LOT especially with regards to the message you wrote on the card , put a big smile on my face & I mean it really !
Dilah's leaving for Malacca tonight & that she wouldn't be back til Sun , hopefully she will have fun there as she's gonna attend 1 of her cousin's wedding . She will lah no doubt about it lol
Woo today's Fri & you know what this means ?? YES I'm gonna be home alone & FREE as my folks would be going to Genting tonight & wouldn't be back til Mon night yay & I agar agar already mapped out on what I plan to do for the next few days heh .Other than going to the arcade , probably I do lots of window shopping -_- & tomorrow will be heading to Ah Ma's house for dinner again , she's gonna cook my fave dishes broiled pork and stewed beancurd with chicken :)
& come to think of it , this will be actually the very 1st time that I will be home alone ehehehehe :P
++++++++
Why on why it has to be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot now :( :( :( Sigh that's the price to pay if you're living in Sunny S'pore all year round..
After school finished for today , I made my way to Tanglin Mall to check out the stall that Mama went on Tue cos I wanna eat my lunch there . I ordered Grilled Salmon Steak with extra iceberg lettuce cos I didn't want the fries when I made my order to the lady boss . Umm.. the whole meal's quite decent unfortunately it didn't made me go WOW or something but ah , was an experience & taught me that fish steak/s DOES have bones -_- , I always thought that they don't have any . Guess not ...
After that I went to the Cold Storage/Marketplace that's located just a few shops away & man the place's BIG & I mean it really & woo I so scored in buying & looking though some cool stuff . Saw the Atkins Advantage & Endulge Bars on the racks , now the prices of the Advantage bars have gone up from $5.95 to $6.25 now !!! & I bought the last packet of Sweet N Low Chocolate Candy Bars woo hoo . I 1st bought them at the Takashimaya outlet & bloody hell they're damn good , it makes me feel like I'm eating something bad but it's not . Was sore when they stop selling it :( so when I saw the last packet at the rack eariler I was like omg I HAVE to get it haha
& also get this I also bought the last box of sugar free jelly beans which were stamped 'reduced to clear' cos its expiry date's on 22nd Dec . The usual price was almost $13!!!! but its been slashed to $6.95 .
I guess that's the biggest downside & sometimes curse when comes to low carb diets on the fact that sugar free products are limited in being sold here & the prices are so oh not cheap but it's ok for me , as long as I don't go rob a bank or something to buy . Overall I still can manange even though initally it was tough but I got over it subsequently..
If you asked me , so far the most stocked up Cold Storage/Marketplace outlets I been so far are located at Tanglin Mall & Jelita . Looks like I will make my 2nd trip to Tanglin Mall next time then
Real excited & extremely happy today , why ? Cos officially it's my parents's 20th wedding anniversary awwwwwwwwwwwwww :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) omg I can't believe that time files so soon & that they had me 2 years after they got married haha so tonight the whole family going out to have a buffet dinner yay that's something to look forward to later on in the day
As usual I'm up early today the past few days been getting up at 6.45am++ cos lessons been on at like 10am & stuff . Somemore I wanna do my cardio before I head on to school as I know for a fact that later on in the afternoon the weekly ritual of spraying insectide will go on below my house should the weather's not all moody so ya doubt Ah Pa will let me go down in the afternoon to do it . Might as well do it before I go to school .
Now I have a habit of bathing straight after I do my cardio or else I feel that I wouldn't earn my shower for the day haha I'm actually a really & lazy person in life but in some cases like this , I have to be disciplined whether I like it or not.
& oh yesterday I caught 2 new videos on MTV , Jason Mraz's Wordplay & Daniel Powter's 3rd single from his self titled album Free Loop . I thought the video to Free Loop's so cute especially at the beginning but I wonder does he have to keep on wearing his beanie all the time especially in professional photo shoots ??

Ok... another long day awaiting me , starting school at 10am & I will finish at 6pm :( :( :( tsk tsk but ah well it beats having school every single day . At the moment I'm off on Mon's & Fri's , hope it will be kept in this manner!
I wanna talk about something that most of the folks who read my blog (hopefully on a daily basis heh heh) on an issue that we can relate to the most ( I hope) :: Low Self Esteem
Yeah everyone has it no doubt about it including me . It can steam from different situations in your life . It seems to me that low self esteem's kinda related to depression if you asked me.For me , it's about my weight . I used to be really overweight & the darkest period for me so far this year was during Feb/March . I suffered an extremely BAD case of depression which was really awful awful awful. I'm really thankful that Dan pulled me outta it cos looking back , I was wallowing in self pity which's oh so bloody wrong [the fact that I was bullied big time when I was overweight doesn't speak much for itself either]& that instead of feeling so sorry for yourself , do something to counteract & beat low self esteem to the ground which I did eventually in July after a breather.
Even though I'm no longer overweight ( er..actually I'm still but not as bad as before) , I still get low self esteem & depression spells coming my way but now I can totally handle it instead of the both of them handling me & eating the hell outta my mental state . For a person who has low self esteem , it wouldn't be so easy to just tell them to get over it bcos' ultimately it's only you yourself that can blast it away from your life . It's as good as telling someone who's grossly overweight to go on a diet , you can't expect miracles to happen you know.
Even if you have killer looks but your self esteem's low , it just shows on you . Don't let that walk all over you & take over your life in a really terrible way . I have been there & done that before folks so if you wanna beat low self esteem , it's time for you to do something worthwhile instead of wallowing in self pity , show those people whom depise you by 1stly helping your own self.
Yesterday before classes was about to start , I ran into a whole group of idiots/siting ducks who used to be in the same Banking Finanical Services class as me in the 2nd semester . They had some serious ego problems's with me (probably due to my weight/size) & ha I swear some of them gave me rather shocked looks that I lost a lot of weight during the past few months . I just gave them a smug look , isn't revenge grand & sweet ? :)
Woo rant over now , gonna go gymming later on before heading for school :) or else I feel that I wouldn't earn my shower for today lol . Gonna do my cardio & weight training for my upper body ..
++++++++
Just as I thought I was seriously burnt out & exhausted by the time I had my final subject for today at 3-6pm !!
Mr Bernard was teaching me to edit the codes for the backend of the EBP project in which I finished doing that eariler while being glued on my arse . It's very & really leh cheh to edit/delete the computer codes but ah well what to do ?Something has to do it no matter how sucky it's & unfortunately I pick me to do it -_- -_- but at least the back end of the project's DONE already YAY
Now the only thing's left's the report & doing some minor touch up's here & there for the front & back end . I'm seriously thinking of not doing the report as I'm so super frickin lazy but I have to see about that or else Zhen & Su-H will give me a black mark in the evaluation form -_-
Tomorrow another stretch of EBP to do at 2-6pm , wah lau... hopefully by then all the techinical work can be settled cos I wanna get this subject over & done with & that I wanna go back home early & sleep haha!
Bleh it's gonna be a LONG day for me later on in school :( . Lessons will 1st start at 12 - 1pm & then a 2 hour break & then 3-6pm :( :( :( :( . Adio 6pm?!?! By the time I come back for dinner , I will be shattered & somemore during this time , it's peak hour/s on the roads so which means I better cross the overhead bridge instead of running across the road -_-
Maybe during the 2 hour break , I will go outside of the school to get something in Watsons . I'm still thinking whether should I buy a not cos it's not a cheap product by long shot . Then again it beats being a sitting duck in school doing nothing at all eh? But yeah see how 1st
Mama asked me on Ah Pa's behalf yesterday night do I want to go to Genting this Fri night -_-"' , do I look like the kind that wanna go Genting AGAIN for I don't know how many donkey clues times ? *roll eyes* Obviously I told her no & that she should save the 100 bucks ++ on the coach fare price lol . True mah , I rather be home alone & FREE during the time when they will be away heh heh ;)
I still haven't think of what I will be doing when they will be in Genting but 1 thing I know's that I will be going back to Ah Ma's house again for dinner this Sat night but other than that I don't know .
Anyone can give me some suggestions or else this poor 'ol hermit will rot at home during the days when her folks wouldn't be around???
++++++++
Jen sent me songs from Simon Webbe's debut solo album Sanctuary yesterday night . In case you're wondering , Simon who ??? Now how about boyband Blue? Yup he used to be in Blue.

For a debut solo album from him , it's quite good even though like what she said , some of the songs are quite boring but it's stuff that I wouldn't mind listening on a chilled lazy day . It's smooth R&B all the way which I like !
The Veronicas are really good too , they're 20 year old twins from Aust who plays a mean mix of pop/rock . 1st single 4ever is fanastic & catchy & so does their 2nd single Everything I'm Not . I downloaded their album , it's really ace polished material . I think given the right exposure , they can go far in the fickle music industry!
++++++++
Went to Ah Ma's house yesterday for dinner , Lee Kow was there , she was a bit shocked to see me & that she commented that I lost so much weight within such a short period of time . Last time I saw her was probably 1 month ++ ago during Ah Gek's wedding dinner but yah it was good seeing her , talked quite a lot of things in general before eventually taking my dinner in which Ah Pek Ah Seng & Ah Mm cooked .
Usually whenever I go to Ah Ma's house for dinner , I wouldn't eat dinner til like what 9pm :S cos they bring their stuff/ingredients from home & will cook in her house . Let me think what I had yesterday ... moderate servings of stewed duck/deep fried prawns (in which I remove the breading surrounding them )/mutton & a generous serving of stir fried kailan with lots of garlic !
You imagine at the time I took my dinner , I was absoultely positive that I wouldn't able to eat breakfast today & guess what ? I'm SO right man . I only had 1 sausage & some cube cheeses eariler , too lazy to do soft boiled eggs today -_-"" ah well that's alright for me .
Maybe later when Mama wake up , I want her to open either the can of curry mutton or beef so that I can eat it together with my salad bowl . Now in the kitchen , there're 6 cans of tuna in addition 2 tupperware of tuna that Ah Mm gave me yesterday :O . Adio....
++++++++
Had a fun time talking to Jen eariler on MSN , we were talking about who might be nominated for the upcoming 2006 MTV ASIA AWARDS which will be taking place somewhere in Feb in Bangkok . I have a feeling that the nomination list will be released this month at most lah & I'm so over voting for my fave artistes like mad lol & don't mean this to be a spoiler but yeah Electrico wouldn't be nominated for the Fave S'pore Category unfortunately but ah that's ok , it's not like I'm sore that they're not in what.
I don't mean to be a bit of a whore & all but for the Fave S'pore & Malaysia categories,it's kinda predictable who will win especially since the win's for all the categories are all strictly based on votes which I don't really like at all but oh well that's just me..
So I wanted to buy the Grilled Chicken Foldover from McDonalds for lunch but guess what ? I didn't buy it in the end lol , instead I brought a baby Caesar salad bowl & 1/2 black pepper chicken roll from Cold Storage . I don't know but I'm kinda sick of eating fast food now . To think when I 1st started out on the program , I had to keep on relying on them oh god . I'm trying to eat healthy but obviously in some cases fail big time haha! I'm seriously full from eating my lunch just now
Wow , today's LIME's 9th bday bash party which's a 2 day event . Can't believe it if you asked me ! Lots of artistes will be performing for sure , some finalists from Project Superstar,S'pore Idol,Anugerah 2005 & some rockin' bands like Ronin,Wicked Aura,The Observatory,Electrico,Saw Loser & etc . I wouldn't be going cos I think a LOT of people will be there , from 6.30-9.30pm for both days so I rather be at home sleeping & being a lazy ass heh heh , sorry Dan but I wouldn't be there!
I guess I will do my cardio at the gym later on then & oh before doing that I wanna go & feed the fishes below my house , I think they're hungry & want some food desperately haha & course after doing what I have to do , I will be heading to Ah Ma's house for dinner , by foot.
Oh man... Hema & I are on MSN talking about POWER RANGERS . Yup , I grew up watching it & I LOVE IT cos reminsing about it now especially the very 1st (& the best outta the 12 different seasons to me which's Mighty Morphin) , I can't believe that it has been almost 12 years since it was 1st out in 1993 !
Sigh .. brings back tons of great memories if you asked me , I remembered that was the time when I developed my 1st crushes when I was like 7-9 ? I had the BIGGEST & HUGEST crushes on Jason & Tommy , whom were played by Austin St John & Jason David Frank respectively . omg Jason was da man I tell you , he's so so HOT as the red ranger *drools* but when Tommy came into the pic 1st as the bad ass evil green ranger & eventually the oh so hot white ranger , I was SOLD man :P so what he was under Rita's spell ? He's hot & you know as always I got a thing for bad boys . Wah so young already cultivated this liking heh heh heh ;)
I must say that outta the different seasons I caught , MMPR's still the best to me . But I enjoyed watching Lightspeed ( where I got a BIG crush on Chad Lee the blue ranger , bloody hell Michael Chaturantabut who plays him is HOT , he's part thai somemore :O & also another BIG crush on Ryan Mitchell/Titanium Ranger who's played by Rhett Fisher .My god Rhett's damn hot & blonde , kinda like an older Ryan Cabrera ehehehehe ) , Timeforce,Wildforce ( where Merrick Baliton/Lunar Wolf Ranger is da man despite the fact that he was initally a bad ass guy who wore a cursed evil wolf mask to save Animarium almost 10,000 years ago but the curse was broken when he 'woke' up in present life whom's played by Philip Andrew) . I didn't got the chance to watch the rest unfortunately...
I'm such a hidden power rangers groupie to the extent that when Poh Kim released some episodes from the MMPR season , I went & bought EVERYTHING :O I still have them & I also have the Power Rangers movie on VCD in which the movie was released in 1996! & come to think of it , I still like those guys that I mentioned eariler . Awwwwwwww =) =)
Wow , this sure brings back tons of great memories for me , you don't say eh ? ;) & this's 1 of my fave websites for everything POWER RANGERS : Power Rangers Central
*sings now* Go Go Power Rangers ;)
++++++++

Heh , yeah I bought those eariler at Perlini in the Jurong Point outlet :) :) :) :) :) It cost a bomb no doubt about it but who cares man ahahaha . I'm SO loving the earrings that I bought especially the Pink Swarovski crystal ones , they have the silver crystals too but as you can tell , not enuff $ to buy the other 1 so that will gotta wait.
Besides that I also brought my 2 other pair of earrings to the shop to get some nooks & crannies fixed , the studs backings were quite loose & the lady was really nice & friendly she did fixed them up for me & even offered to give me a few bigger studs backings for free awww =) that's so cool if you asked me.
I was at the shop scanning though the gazillion choices of earrings that they had . I also looked the selection of bracelets/pendants/necklaces too but like I said , I already give up buying all 3 & focus on buying earrings cos I don't wear them everyday only on special occasions . Earrings?Hell yeah every single day I wear a different pair so you can imagine , pratically all of them that I have in my hearts earrings box are from Perlini *sheepishly* & now I have 31 pairs of earrings from PS & counting :O
Well at least I know what kinda earrings will look yeah or nah on me.
Yeah : mild danging ,big simple designs & ESPECIALLY hearts lol
Nah : ear studs , HUGE long danging , complicated/cheem designs
& considering the amount of earrings that I have now & counting , I wouldn't mind a jewellery box to store all my blings blings in order instead of stuffing them all in a cramped hearts box *hint hint* haha
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo it's a FRIDAY :) :) :) :) :) . My cold has been cured already thank goodness but for safety's reasons , I better don't gym today as I'm still feeling a bit weak from all the medicine that I took but I must say I never slept so much in my life when comes to being sick lol
I downloaded SO many music the past few days it's insane I tell you & it's all much thanks to Sadie for helping me . I downloaded music from Carrie Underwood , Ana Johnsson,Mya,N*E*R*D & Han Lei kindly sent me songs from The Click Five's CD :) so you can imagine my mp3player's stuffed with new material to listen now yay
I wanna go out later in the afternoon , not sure where I wanna go , I just wanna go somewhere to escape BOREDOM with a capital B . I'm quite broke also , at most I ask Ah Pa for some $ later on.No choice lah...
I been putting nail varnish for the past few months or so , I wanna do away with it now cos I feel I'm mentally prepared NOT to bite my nails already somemore the 'side effects' of putting nail varnish's the icky looking stuff that's being dried on them like cement :S so yeah I wanna experience clean bare fingernails now haha & besides I can't forever rely on it to stop me from biting my nails right?
++++++++
The weather has been driving me SO mad today health wise . I was down with flu when I started sneezing big time this morning in school :( due to lack of sleep & the stupid stupid weather ! What's up man??
No worries folks , I'm well dosed up on medication now thank goodness.I slept for a while when I came back home after school , took some medicine that K.O me straight away , woke up a few hours later , still haven't 100% recovered & took somemore medicine again , hopefully this time I will be a-ok
The timetable of mine has been changed yet again , yeah I know what the hell ??? I just hope that it's the FINAL time that it will be changed for good ! Now supposedly I'm off on Mon's & Fri's , let's just keep it that way
Having a bad feeling that my period will come soonie :( on a good note , mine has been regular the past few months ,it always seems to come during the 1st week of a new month which's I think soon lol
omg 1 more month before the new year arrives :O , 2006's gonna be knocking in everyone's face in due time.Despite some up's & down's in this year , 2005 has been very rewarding & fruitful for me . Wow & I thought 2004 was good haha! I made somemore new friends , finally decided to do something good about my weight & also learnt lots of life long lessons from a dear 'ol friend of mine =) who has been a great emotional help & support for me for almost close to a year now . He knows who he's :) & yeah I don't need to say his name in here ha!
Yesterday he emailed me back & hahaha he wrote something inside the email that made me laughed in which he asked me when's my birthday again :P is he getting something for me ? I don't know but I don't expect anything so drama mama from him should he wanna get me something *sheepishly*
& oh Jen asked me to put up my LONG ( to me lah haha) birthday wish list so here you go babe :
- $$$ from my parents & relatives
- More Perlini Silver stuff ,especially their earrrings cos they rock
- A Louis Vuitton bag or wallet from Yee Ma lmao I'm still waiting cos she haven't give me any birthday pressie for almost 5 years now :(
- Any nice place for dinner , I'm rooting to go back to eat at Marche again & yes I'm the sort of person who can spent hours in a buffet lol
- More Creative Stik On Skins
- New Sony Clip On Earphones , I saw 1 in the Xmas catalogue , it looks damn nice but it's S$38 :(
- Maksim's CDs , he has released 3 so far , I want all . I like his music , he's a more hippier Richard Clayderman . I used to like Richard but his music's a bit of a bore now lol & Maksim's HOT HOT HOT :P
I can't think of anymore for now but I will add somemore in due time :P & oh may I bring your attention to 3 new press photos from Electrico's website ? I'm kinda digging the dark gothic look from them , it looks cool , really fit their image well if you asked me .
