Photo Overload

Photobucket

Waaaaaay overdue photos.

"Celebrated" an early NDP with the sailors and Cheryl. Celebrated Mrs Sidhu's belated birthday and had lunch @ Sokudo with Quin and Cheryl after.

Crap, I miss the pasta I had there already.




All forcing Mrs Sidhu into doing the sailing tradition:

CAKE SMASH
*cue dramatic music*













LUNCHIES @ CINE'S SHOKUDO:






Quinneh's awesome industrial piercing.

Might consider getting myself one after O's.. IF I'm not afraid of needles by then, cuz she told me they could only use a needle instead of the ear gun. Ugh.

HATE my phobia for needles.













Quinnie's omu rice.

My yummeh seafood pasta!
Yum tum tum.







Anyone notices the irony in here?

Park Jaebeom's album on top, followed by SuJu's album and oh, who's that below?

I mean seriously I felt weird seeing Jae and 2PM's albums in like, the same column.



That's all. Shall upload the YOG torch passover and me, Ker and Beanie's apple crumble photos. Must bake with them again soon cuz our apple crumble turned out AWESOME. :)

Blogging

Its been a while since I last blogged. Like August 4th whoa drought much.

Anyways I have photos to post up! Just lazy to go filter them and edit them or whatsoever. Been feeling really sloggish recently. But yesterday was the last day of work for me! Well at least until 2 months later when my O's are over.

I'LL BE BACK, AIRPORT. Just you wait!

I worked from 11am to 1am yesterday, which was pure madness. But it was cuz Michelle couldn't come, so they asked if I could work till 11 and I asked if I could work till 1am instead. It was awesome fun and I love all my colleagues. When we were about to part ways after coming out of the gantry Nurul gave me a hug and told me she would miss me a lot, and that made me shed buckets omg, mad embarassing! But I would miss her too, and everyone else at Kidztime.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but yes I would miss my workplace very much.

(Even though for the past few months I've been complaining and complaining and wishing I could just stop work/call in sick 24/6.. Yeah figures. I would really miss the place. Cried so much on my dad's car. NURUL ITS YOUR FAULT :'( )

Then comes the whole thing about my weight issue.

Recently resolved to eating healthily. I don't wanna lose weight for the sake of losing it. I want to REDUCE my weight and stay at it.

Lets just say its more of a lifestyle change, rather than a change that's only temporary.

I now have cleansing days, meaning on those days I stick to only eating veggies and fruits. No meat. I can have rice too, but I've been cutting down on my rice portions even though I LOVE rice. My bro and I can't live without rice so imagine how I am now, leaving like half my plate of rice behind after every meal..

..breaks my heart.

I've been eating three square meals with a light snack of like half a bowl of cereal etc inbetween. Brings up my metabolism rate I guess. And fruits. Been forcing myself to eat more fruits.

Then again, I think my body's not used to it. Like the whole shocking my system by cutting out all snacks, juice, sweet drinks and just drinking water. And oh, Milo too. I can't live without Milo like how the caffine addicts can't live without coffee/tea. My bad.

But yes I would want to start swimming once a week too, but everyone who agreed to swimming with me always can't make time for it. UGH. Swimming next week with Rei after our tuition whoopeedee! I'm a happy gurl!

Okay its raining cats and dogs now and I don't see how I can leave the house to meet Ker just yet. So.. blog later when I'm home from my studying day with photos, alright?

Xoxo

Home


Belle's new Pentax. Since she requested for a photo of her new baby, here it is!

Helped her collect it from this guy after work one day. Weird fella. I was super late because hello I don't always knock off on time right?? If there's stock and my colleague comes late I can't help it right. And I can't keep texting during work? Then when I got to Tanah Merah I couldn't find him, so I gave him a call and he told me "Come to the taxi stand. I am about to leave already. I thought I kenna played out. Like you never come. Get played out."

Uh.. Oooooookay??


My wall of postcards is apparently still bare. No time to go out and take some off the postcard stands man.

And oh, after like a week or so of letting my new hair grow out (I never blogged/tweeted/anything about a haircut so no one actually knows about it except my friends from work, dance and Alex), HERE IT IS.

It looked really kuku when I just got it cut cuz the guy layered it. Was pretty mad about it but what's done is done man. Cheryl Y. saw me at dance and it took her like a good 10mins or so to realise I got my hair cut.

She was giving me this weird look, and finally after we drank water and got ready for warmups I asked her and Anika, "Do I look very weird??"

"YOU GOT YOUR HAIR CUT IS IT?!?!?!!!"

"Yeah...... :("

"No wonder I was wondering why you looked so kuku. Haha!"


In the end I trimmed it myself every alternate day to make it seem less layered.

It isn't even supposed to be side bangs please?? Like the guy totally didn't make it look like the photo. So I trimmed it into side bangs myself.


Aaaaand a bonus! Snapped some random old photos my parents keep by their bedside tables.



I really feel like, depressed whenever I see these photos. I was so puny back then! And oh the little dude in the last photo's my brother. Hahah actually, he was about to cry after this photo was taken. Cuz he was quite chubby, I couldn't place him properly on my lap when my parents took this shot.

He was such a cutie I swear.

Gerald, what happened to you? :(

Exception

Y'know, every time I come to this space I would forget what I wanna blog about. I swear I've wanted to blog about 5 times since the last time I did but yeah nothing comes out.

And also cuz I've been extremely exhausted this week. I've not been online at unearthly hours recently, which in a way is good cuz it goes to show my body clock's adjusting itself back.

I met up with Alex recently and it was sooooo good to see her again. And I'll be seeing her this Friday too along with the BFFs -Rainbows and Hearts- (I hope) cuz she told us we could go down to support her at SP for her CASS Idol finals. Pretty excited and happy for her, especially about everything that's going on in her life right now. You've struggled so much with what you thought people would think of this, babe! So yeah I'm happy to hear that you're genuinely happy. Just know that you have friends that love you dearly so please be sure that this is what you want :)

Okay so I'm supposed to be heading off to work in about 10mins.

I can't get my mind off food now and it sucks, really. My metabolism isn't as high as when I was in primary school. Cuz back then I really ate what I wanted but never grew fat. A person with 8 CCAs on hand NEVER grows fat.

Since about three months back, I've gained 2kg and that's not good. I guess I'll start swimming alone soon because everyone I asked said they wanna join me but in the end like weeks go by without us actually doing so.

SUCKS TO LOVE FOOD UGH.

p.s. Decided to add this in-


GOALS:
  1. Drink more water
  2. Eat more fruits, veggies and less carbs
  3. LEARN TO CONSUME FOOD/DRINKS WITH LESS SUGAR. Like Milo. GWEN PLEASE STOP ADDING IN LIKE 193854654786578 SPOONFULS OF CONDENSED MILK. (And stop secretly eating a bit of it after making your Milo too!)
  4. Stop snacking. Drink water when hungry
  5. Stop eating dinner past 9
  6. Less than 800 calories/day??
I swear I'm gonna become depressed over my weight issues soon. Felt SO sick after eating this cereal (that's supposedly non-fattening) with milk. And that's not good.
