My life album

Have been eating Western food these days. Not by choice, just happened tt my colleagues suggested to go these places... Celebrate one of my colleague's bday at Hogs' Breath ytd and went for western lunch today again.

Hmm... How to lose weight like tt leh...

Firstly, everything is cooked with butter, butter and butter... It can be boring as everything tastes similar, worse still, it's v fattening.

Secondly, I know fries are fattening. And it's oso addictive, will make u keep eating non-stop. Even if not the fries, they always have some high carbohydrate finger food. Finger food always seems harmless. Cute bite size food gives an illusion tt you are eating v little.

Thirdly, it always come with a set(soup + fattening dessert), which means it's more 'worth' it but u are also eating more.

I somehow cannot stomach these western food properly. I feel bloated after eating them.

Well, though occasionally I crave for fastfood or steak but western food is nv not my first choice. I prefer chinese food... like hot soup(hmm.... remind me of steamboat again. :P) ...

Main course:

Burger... One of my colleague's choice. Hmm... I think i will nv choose burger as my choice as the main course over steaks n chicken.

Teriyaki chicken with mushroom. My choice. :)

Beef steak... hmm... I tasted a portion of my colleague's steak. Feel tt it's a bit dried. It doesn't comes with sauce, we actually requested for mushroom sauce ourselves.

Dory fish with prawn. I shld have chosen this.

The fatterning desserts:

Mud pie

Apple Crumble

Just realised the link I provided for Nike Race is a broken link... Anyway, my colleagues told me on Sat that registration has closed! The expected close date is 9 August and they closed it much earlier. All of us have not registered yet. Hai~ But Pi still promised to jog with me every Sat morning. :)

Ytd went for Charity Walk and I had to wake up at 615! I dun even wake up tt early on working days. Then came bk from walk, took a short nap n went out with Pi again. haha~ Though I slept early but I feel that I've not really recovered from it... I still feel tired today. haha~

Photos from Charity Walk:

Anyway, I'm thinking of picking up some courses... Something may not be job related. Hmm...

Marathon 11:19 PM

I'm organising my first marathon... Not really organising, just asking ~~persuading~~my colleagues n fren to go for Nike Charity Human Race with me. The Race is 10km, need to pay $25(but it's for charity!) that comes with free Nike goodies bag n t-shirt. Part of me has already decided to go. Though I hope I do have fren to go along but even if I dun have, I will still go ahead. Luckily me... I managed to get some fren who want to go with me. The next thing I need to do is to prepare for it. :)

I hope I can run for the entire race, at least slow jog. In this way, I will feel the sense of satisfaction in completing the race without pausing. But I shall take it easy, always stop if I feel unwell.

Talked to my colleague about it today(I was actually quite excited... haha~) He told me 10km is not really a marathon. The actual marathon is 42km! And his gf actually completed half marathon(21km) before!Before talking to him, I kept thinking 10km is very long, it's 4 times(4 X 2.4km) of the distance I ran in school last time. But other pple are actually running 4 times of 10km. haha~

Haven't been running for so long, I dun know whether I still can run or not. Maybe I cannot even complete my 2.4km! Anyway, I think I have the determination to complete it, just need to work a bit harder. Though fighting alone can be quite lonely(fren agreed to go but dun wanna train with me... haha~). So I need to persuade more fren to go, then persuade them to train with me. :)

JIAYOU!!! :p

12:35 AM

Have fun taking photos with hall darlings at esplanade. And we had a heavy dinner which left me feeling still v full now. Think I need to control my diet.

Took a lot of nice photos. But I look so BIG size standing beside my frens. Really! I told June. She said becos I'm tallest. Yes, I'm taller than them. But my face looks too round(which has nothing to do with height) which makes me feel sad looking at the photos. :'( Can't blame my parents cos both my sisters have normal oval face except me.

Instead of continue feeling extremely depressed, I think I need to do something about it. Having a rounder(than normal) face since young, I guess I need to be even skinner(than ~~normal~~ others) in order to look 'normal' in photos. So I've decided to set a goal today, 21 July 2008, to lose 5 kgs within 1 mth time, which is 21 Aug 2008. We shall see... I shall beat the temptation of eating. And visit my gym more.

Will upload my oversize photos soon, need some time in sorting. Though I look oversize but there are still some really nice photos I wanna share. :)

This marked my official last day in NUS. A lot of sweet memories. So many pple to thank!

Thanks my jiemeis, yubin and other hall fren who stayed with me in hall for the 2.5 years.

Thanks my sec school 死党, Mei n Pi (n Wei!!) who have gone through sec, poly and uni with me, struggling with projects n rushing for deadlines tgt. I'm glad you all were with me. :) Now we are finally 'separated', working in different companies. I will definitely miss the days in school with u all!
