Gaining is easy, Losing is hard.

2018-07-23T11:16:00.000+08:00

I know this blog of mine is dead and buried for many years but still i feel like writing here.

Because occasionally i will come back here to read about my past on how stupid i have been in my teenage years. Well although being all stupid, i am still really greatly for all of it as it has put a great positive impact who i have become. As for today's purpose on this post, i would like to introduce my first prep meal that i made on sunday! For those who still meet me knows that i have gained alot of weight. In the past i could weight at my lowest of 42kg but now? I am freaking 56kg and 14kg of gains! For now i know it is rather hard to be 42kg but i am aiming for at least 50kg now? At least it seems doable and therefore i did my first week prep meal. With the prep meal i will need to exercise as well, cutting down my food intake and not just clear food off the table when my friends or family could not finish it. See? That is one of my biggest problem, I can eat a lot and don't really like to waste food. So i have to kick that thinking of mine and start to say "I am full" even if i am not. I also realized that my appetite is so much bigger than others which i hope that it will change in time.

so today mark the first day of my DIET! I hope that i will be able to keep it up and update that i actually lost weight....I surely don't want to be 60kg.

I hope it looks appetizing but anyway it has all the things i need.

In case you can't see, there are chicken breast, Broccoli, mushroom, Potato, egg and mixed peas.

As i love spicy food, i marinated them with black pepper, paprika, cayenne and salt. I am getting onion powder and garlic powder if i am continuing it next week. I airfryer most of it as i am lazy and i do not own an oven, if you have a oven it will make it so much easier!

If you are thinking to invest in an oven i highly recommend Panasonic Steam and Grill Oven.

As it can steam, grill, bake and even act as a microwave. The good thing is that if you are using the other functions it does not have microwave energy. I will surely get this when i move to my new house in few months time.

It is almost lunch time now and i can't wait to eat my lunch already!

Goodbye Mr Bae!!

It's fryyyyyydayyyy!

2014-08-15T13:41:00.001+08:00

My title explain my sinful diet today.

Though I really need to slim down for my big day next year!

Been too long since I eat this.

Well it's only $2 as I got the coupon. *Only available at Suntec city outlet!*

Friday lunch at food republic. I miss ITE simei's Japanese food! Slurrp!

Boyfriend planned to go for a movie (The guardian of the galaxy) after his department dinner later on.

Been age since we catch a movie together in a cinema. Normally we would rather stay at home and watch online. As we can get all comfy. But watching the big screen once in awhile is not a bad idea too.

Edited.

Ending work about 745.

While jas and I are heading home, she remembered that today is the last day of the free drinks from marche's opening promotion. Suntec talents will get a free drink when you present your business card to them. Luckily we always carry our business card along with us.

So without any hesitation, we went into marche. We took the sit near the entrance, as usual it's very crowded and if you want to have better seats, you gotta wait. But well, we are cool with siting on high chair.

Initially we planning to get one rossti and the free drinks, but there is one free cake for one person! I guess this promotion is for everyone, anytime from 5pm-10pm.

Impromptu dinner was great! Chatting over anything. Rossti was awesome as usual, love the cakes and the wine.

Headed home, took a quick shower and drove out to fetch my parents and my aunty from Bedok point. They tried the BKK wanton mee and comment that it's so so. Portion still alright for the ladies but for my dad, it's soo little and it costs $5.00. I should try it one day.

Fetched them home and waited for my boyfriend as he went for department dinner at Furama city.

Headed out at 1115 to katong to get the ticket. As we hardly watch movie now, we don't book online as we don't see a need because there are still many available seats to choose from. We just don't see a need the book online.

Also if you have HSBC credit card, you can save a lot. On the ticket itself and the popcorn!

Cheers to weekend!

Goodnight!

Thursday dinner with comfort food.

2014-08-15T11:46:00.001+08:00

Sample store arrived at my doorsteps!

2014-08-15T11:45:00.001+08:00

Yeah! Came back home saw this! Parcel from Sample store. kinda efficient.

Looks what i redeem.

Total 3 item i redeem and my main redemption is Hiruscar.

Monday blues

2014-08-11T14:18:00.001+08:00

Yawn! I am so sleepy.
Happy belated national's day. I don't have the mood to celebrate it at all.
Although i like Singapore and am proud to be a true pure Singaporean.
National's day is just a normal day except that this year i get to have additional off in lieu to my existing leave!
That makes me happy!
But still I am very sleepy right now.
Writing this post with my eyes half shut and i seriously need something to perks me up!

Maintaining a relationship.

2014-08-09T21:44:00.000+08:00

I know i have not been blogging since last year. I hope i can update more regularly though i don't have a very interesting life now. Its all smooth now and that's something to be happy about.
Most of you should know that i am happily attached. He is very good to me and i can say that its a very peaceful and loving relationship. Its never easy to maintain a relationship but its never too hard for us to be one.
Have you ever gotten into a fight with your partner and find yourself what you were really upset about? If you ever been disappointed because your partner didn't meet your expectations?
We have thoughts and feelings that can be confusing. Other people do too. We are simply humans!

I hope this 10 ideas will help for all the relationships.

1. Do what you need to do for you.

Everyone has personal needs, whether it’s going to the gym after work or taking some alone time on Saturday morning. If someone asks you to do something and your instinct is to honor your own needs, do that. Of course making sacrifices sometimes is good too, but it’s important to make a habit of taking care of yourself and I think being independent is the key word. We are not princess or prince!

You don't need people to serve you 24 hours and anytime you need them. Because even helper don't serve you for 24hrs, they need to rest too. They aren't super human. So if you can do the things yourself, do it yourself.

2. Give people the benefit of the doubt.

People who care about you want you to feel happy, even if sometimes they get too wrapped up in their own problems to show it well. If you want to get good will, share it by seeing the best in the people you love. When we assume the best, we often inspire it.

3. Look at yourself for the problem first.

When you feel unhappy with yourself, it’s easy to find something wrong in a relationship. If you blame another person for what you’re feeling, the solution is on them. But this is actually faulty logic. For starters, it gives them all the control. And secondly, it usually doesn't solve the problem, since you didn't actually address the root cause.

Next time you feel the need to blame someone for your feelings—something they did or should have done—ask yourself if there’s something else going on. You may find there’s something underlying: something you did or should have done for you. Take responsibility for the problem and you have power to create a solution.

4. Be mindful of projecting.

Denying your own traits and then ascribing them to the outside world or other people. For example, if you’re not a loyal and trusting friend, you may assume your friends are all out to get you. It’s a defense mechanism that allows you to avoid the discomfort of acknowledging your weaknesses. There’s no faster way to put a rift in your relationships.

This comes back to down to self awareness, and it’s hard work. Acknowledging your flaws isn't fun, but if you don’t, you’ll continue seeing them in everyone around you. And you’ll continue to hurt. Next time you see something negative in someone else, ask yourself if it’s true for you. It might not be, but if it is, identifying it can help create peace in that relationship.

5. Choose your battles.

Everyone knows someone who makes everything a fight. If you question them about something, you can expect an argument. If you comment on something they did, you’ll probably get yelled at. Even a compliment could create a confrontation. Some people just like to fight—maybe to channel negativity they’re carrying around about the world or themselves.

On the one hand, you have to tell people when there’s something bothering you. That’s the only way to address problems. On the other hand, you don’t have to let everything bother you. When I’m not sure if I need to bring something up, I ask myself these few questions:

Does this happen often and leave me feeling bad?
Does this really matter in the grand scheme of things?
Can I empathize with their feelings instead of dwelling on my insecurity?

6. Confront compassionately and clearly.

When you attack someone, their natural instinct is to get defensive, which gets you nowhere. You end up having a loud conversation where two people do their best to prove they’re right and the other one is wrong. It’s rarely that black and white. It’s more likely you both have points, but you’re both too stubborn to meet in the middle.

If you approach someone with compassion, you will open their hearts and minds. Show them you understand where they’re coming from, and they’ll be willing to see your side. That gives you a chance to express yourself and your expectations clearly. And when you let people know what you need at the right time in the right way, they’re more likely to give that to you.

7. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable.

There are all kinds of ways you can feel vulnerable in relationships: When you express your feelings for someone else. When you’re honest about yourself or your past. When you admit you made a mistake. We don’t always do these things because we want to maintain a sense of power.

Power allows us a superficial sense of control, whereas true, vulnerable being allows us a sense of authenticity. That’s love: being your true self and allowing someone else to do the same without letting fear and judgment tear it down. It’s like Jimi Hendrix said, “When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.”

8. Think before acting on emotion.

This one is the hardest for me. As soon as I feel hurt, frustrated, or angry, I want to do something with it—which is always a bad idea. I’ve realized my initial emotional reaction does not always reflect how I really feel about something. Initially, I might feel scared or angry, but once I calm down and think things through, I often realize I overreacted.

When you feel a strong emotion, try to sit it for a while. Don’t use it or run from it—just feel it. When you learn to observe your feelings before acting on them, you minimize the negativity you create in two ways: you process, analyze, and deal with feelings before putting them on someone else; and you communicate in a way that inspires them to stay open instead of shutting down.

9. Maintain boundaries.

When people get close, boundaries can get fuzzy. In a relationship without boundaries, you let the other person manipulate you into doing things you don’t want to do. You act out of guilt instead of honoring your needs. You let someone offend you without telling them how you feel about it. The best way to ensure people treat you how you want to be treated is to teach them.

That means you have to love and respect yourself enough to do that: to acknowledge what you need, and speak up. The only way to truly have loving, peaceful relationships is to start with a loving, peaceful relationship with yourself.

10. Enjoy their company more than their approval.

When you desperately need someone’s approval, your relationship becomes all about what they do for you—how often they stroke your ego, how well they bring you up when you feel down, how well they mitigate your negative feelings. This is draining for another person, and it creates an unbalanced relationship.

If you notice yourself dwelling on pleasing someone else or getting their approval, realize you’re creating that need. (Unless you’re in an abusive relationship, in which case I highly recommend getting help.) Instead of focusing on what you can get from that person, focus on enjoying yourselves together. Oftentimes the best thing you can do for yourself and someone else is let go and give yourself permission to smile.

Sunday with my family

2013-07-31T08:30:00.001+08:00

Been too long.
My daily routine is work, and after work I'll head to gym. Since the suntec city True fitness isn't ready yet i go to chevron house's outlet. Mostly focusing on cardio for now as I'm trying hard to burn my fats. Changed my diet. But of cos some good food that you can't resist only once a week or twice a week. Cutting down a lot. On a no gym day, i will meet up with Chanel and study as we plan to take our exam end of the year or early next year.

Last Sunday went to Jem at Jurong with my aunts and mum tried out xian de lai. The hot pot looks like this and the soup base is nice too.

Dinner at east coast food lagoon. As baby said that he wanted to treat my mum. Of cos we had more than just the chicken wings. hahha. Sinful...

Famous Blogger

2013-07-23T17:12:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I really wander who reads my blog. Surprisingly there are still people visit my blog after so long of not blogging. I know my viewers can’t be compared with the famous blogger xiaxue. In my opinion I think all her blog posts are interesting. No doubt that she is the queen in blogging I can say. Okay back to myself. Haha oh yeah was talking about who reads my blog and was wandering who are these people who reads my blog and are they haters or they just love reading it or lastly maybe they were just passing by? Hmmm I’m not so sure..
Seriously I don’t really have a very interesting life unlike feel years ago..interesting as in, in a bad way. Well all those are over now..

Was thinking how the famous blogger became famous. Maybe it’s not as easy but how? I think that they have to face the fact that people who reads their blog will criticize them. Because what I thought is it’s either you criticize people or they criticize you. And even if you don’t, people will still criticize you out of jealousy and all. I guess most of them are used to it. Yeah who cares about those people right? Haha.

Almost A year

2013-07-23T11:34:00.002+08:00

Been so long since my last blog post.

I should really do something about it... hmmm....
oh. Now that i see that my last post was like October 2012. Oh my..
Many things happened and this is so not updated.

Firstly during November last year i found a new job. So far so good. Only a accounts assistant though.
Secondly me and my boyfriend is still doing well..so much better than the previous. Oh the previous one was bad which is Marcus Leong. Oh well I should not talk about it already. All you have to know is that he is a bad ass.

Well i feel contented with my life right now.. Having a good job, friends, family and love by my side.
Oh yeah talking about friends, I met up them and had a really good catch up.. It's never enough though.

Bbq gathering with my colleagues. We had a fun time.. Another bbq coming up in august!

Chilling at Spacebar @ Swissotel after work on the eve of vesak day.

Meeting up with ITE classmate on a Friday evening.

Lastly, weizhen entered a new company and she is just 2 levels above me. Its so easy for us to meet now.

I hope, due to our tight schedule too. Been going to the gym recently as I signed up for the True fitness club with my colleague. I need to loss fats and also gain muscles. Been slacking for 3 years oh my.. I hope this is the fattest time of my life. But still, glad that i didn't hit 50kg.

Alright till here. Shall update again when i really got the time as I'm writing this in my office.

Weizhen prefers Power house because most of her friends are there and she will be going over to RWS as she will be having family gathering there.

We shall see I want to spend time with both of them.Maybe power house with weizhen while baby spend time with his friends? Not a bad idea... We shall see!

Who will actually understand you?
Who will put yourself in their own shoes before judging?

Time is running out...

Baby Kobe Up For Adoption

2012-07-25T11:13:00.001+08:00

Dog Up for Adoption
Baby Kobe (About 5 Months Old) MALE

He's a darling full black with slight bronze coloured sides under lighting.

Unknown breed as my friend picked him up in an abandoned Tuas area hoping to give him shelter and also a companion to her current pet dog. *Many says he look very much like a labrador - relatively large breed which we believe he will be as big as he is growing very fast. He is now about the length of a regular computer screen now.

It's time to let Kobe go. It's been months and he hardly get along with my current pet dog. She tried, but both of them keep hurting each other. 1 would end up bleeding in the end which is causing alot of tension.

He completed his second vaccination and is waiting for his third. She can complete this process before a handover. Kobe rarely bites and bark.

She is looking for a home with no pets and can provide him with lots of care and love down the years.

Contact Adeline at 98000563 for Kobe's adoption.
