M.I.A.

It's been quite some time since I last posted, I know. Have been busy with this and that.. Oh, who am I kidding? I was just being plain lazy. But today I've been inspired to blog again. I'll let you in on that in a bit.

But first.. Being the first entry of the new year (yea, I know! It is so delayed!), I'd like to post an update on my new look. I've cut my hair short. But now, I am seriously contemplating to go shorter. But when I look at the header pic (on top), I get sad and wished I had long hair like I used to. Oh, woe is me.

So back to what got me inspired to post an entry in my blog today. This person and this blog. But as you can see from my photo (above), I don't think I look like I weigh 38 kgs so therefore, my reason for starting to track my diet is obviously to shed some pounds.

Ultimate goal:
Lose 8-10 kgs (based on my research on the www, that translates to a timeline of about 4-5 months)

How I will achieve this:

• track my food intake - so I will be more conscious of what I put into my mouth and tummy
• eat healthy - more fruits and vege and less oily fried food
  
• cut down on the sweet stuff - chocs and ice cream and ice cream and ice cream
• make [full] use of my gym membership - I last went to the gym (exercised) in December 2008

So, here goes..

Meal 1:
(at home, 12:00 pm)

• a plate of spaghetti with 5 meatballs (no cheese)
• half a bottle of chilled Lipton Green Tea
  

Meal 2:
(at home, 5:30 pm)

• 1 slice of multigrain toast with margerine
• 1 slice of multigrain toast with cheese spread
• a cup of banana and pineapple smoothie with low fat yoghurt

Physical Activities:
Urm.. Does walking to and fro from the washing machine to where-we-hang-our-clothes-to-dry to hang our clothes to dry count? :p

Over time, I hope to be able to have regular meals - breakfast, lunch, maybe tea, and dinner. Right now, I'm just eating as and when I feel like it. Which is definitely one of the main causes of my weight gain..

Before I end this post, I'd like to share with you some photos of Ben. :)


Hee.. I <3 my kitty cat. :)

Rain, Rain, Go Away..

On Saturday, there was a fight between the Sun and the Rain. I did loads of laundry that day. So naturally, I was rooting for the Sun to win. It was a very tough fight. One minute, it looked like the Rain was gonna win.. And the next minute, it looked like the Sun was gonna win. It went on like that for a couple of hours. In the end, the Sun lost. The Rain poured and I was so upset! But I had high hopes for the Sun and I told myself not to worry because the Sun will make a comeback. And whatdya know.. It really did make a comeback! The Sun shone. Albeit very little, but it did.. And it stayed that way for at least a couple of hours. :)

Rock Star!

This people, is the B. Romanek Rock Star clutch in crocodile. *drools*

In July 2004, Brigette Romanek decided to design a bag and give it to her friends for Christmas. When Christmas 2004 came, she presented the bags to her friends. From there, the B. Romanek collection took a life on its own. Her friends were constantly stopped on the streets by strangers asking where they could buy the bag. By February 2005, Brigette's bags could be seen on the arms of Demi Moore, Courtney Cox and Zooey Deschanel. Also Eva Mendes, Sophie Monk, Rachel Zoe, Heather Locklear, Ashlee Simpson and many others!

The Rock Star clutch is a wrap-around clutch and the inside is lined in suede. It comes in so many colours like Cognac, Black, Chocolate, Bone, Midnight, Salt and Pepper, Lime Juice, Lipstick, Forest, the purple one at the top (I don't know what it's called) and another one (I don't know what). It comes in 11 colours.

You should see the bag when it is open.. The flap unfolds and unfolds into a crocodile tail. It's so cool! Now, which colour should I get? :)

Flexibility & Freedom

I'm thankful that my job allows me the flexibility and freedom to work while on the road, as long as there is internet connection.

I'm thankful that my bosses trust me this much - to give me this much freedom to do my own stuff.

Free

by The Martinis

Omnipresent phrase in my mind
Spoken word I've said one million times
Who're you to tell me it'll always be this way
I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind
So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don't try to find me
Always try to breeze through my life
Repetitious things I've done one million times
Who're you to tell me it'll always be this way
I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind
What could I do
It's not such a terrible thing
What would you do
It's not such a terrible thing
So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don't try to find me..
