Life as Dong Po Rou Stepping in Auntiehood..

My life as Dong Po Rou (lots of fats with little meat).. I'm so afraid to step on the scale these days as I know I'll be in for a great surprise. I can physically feel it but yet I'm finding excuses to tuck myself in bed or indulge in great food. I must buck up to lose weight!! Guess friends must be tolerant with my outpour of weight sorrows here till I achieved my aim.

My life in late twenties.. Was sharing with xm that its scary to think about approaching the 30 marking very soon. What have I achieved compared to people of my age? I may have a job that pays me well but am I really happy? Even if I do get another job that I have been hoping to try out, I must be prepared for a pay cut and it might turn that I hate that job after all. What should I pursue ultimately? So scary (in NK signature tone)!!

My life & my friends.. will be having dinner with my friends for Fri & Sat for my b'day which marks another year older! Hope I'm wiser, prettier, slimmer, smarter & most importantly richer!! Stepping into the life of auntiehood! My oh mine!! I appreciate the friendship of all my friends who have accompanied me this far, knowing that you are there when I need a listening ear & being tolerant of my nonsense. Most importantly, appreciate that you guys remember the day that marks my birth. Hope all of you will still remember me even when our hairs are grey.

QQ, thanks for the cake today!! Appreciate that you took time out of your busy schedule for me..

Happy Birthday to myself!! I'm heading to bed while I'm still at the age of "ahem.. cough..".. Woohoo!!

Happy Lunar New Year!! Huat Ah!!

Been ending my text with my friends lately with "Huat Ah"! My purse is in real bad shape now. Retail therapy proves to be very damaging this month where outflow is more than inflow. With the festive season in sight, I allowed myself to go wild with my CC. I'm so happy that I did not give in to J when he kept saying "Go buy the bag you have been eyeing at for CNY!".

Further damage was attributed to tickets bought for Apr. Times are different now where there's less movies (with my poly gals) but we go for musical. There wasnt much response when I told xm & the rest but with von, its pretty efficient. I'm going to Chicago Musical with von & yan!! Yippie!! Right after the musical, I'm going Mayday concert with NC the very next day!! I'm on all smiles but my purse is sobbing. I'll stay home on weekend I guess to stay away from shopping malls & food place. Or maybe I sld get a month lunch tickets from each of my friends for my b'day pressies (friends, you hear me??). Hmmm.. Do I have 12 friends in the first place to get me my 1 year supply of meals? Haa.. just joking..

CNY was pretty much catching up on my sleep & I finally had time to try my new internet connection which I signed up with ST but never did install it. House visiting was little as most of my relatives would go overseas. With the goodies from CNY, I'm happily popping one box after another. Sadly, my waistline is getting bigger, weight on the scale increasing further beyond that "ahem" mark. Oh mine!! I need to get my butt out from the bed for some intensive exercise. I ate far too much during CNY that I'm feeling all guilty.

Watched midnight show "Little Big Soldier" with xm & gang on chu yi.

"A Foot Soldier (Jackie Chan) and a General (Wang Lee Hom) from rival states become the sole survivors of war. The Soldier captures the wounded General, hoping to use his enemy as a ticket to freedom by handling him over to the warlord. Along the long and winding journey, the two men at loggerheads meet with the most amazing encounters starving without water and food, seductive scheming songstress, a stalking ferocious bear."

I wouldn't rate it as a must watch show but if anyone is looking for a comedy or a fan of Jackie Chan, you will in for a good laugh, at least we had ours. J find some character redundant while I find the ending weird. The appealing factor that drew us is Wang Lee Hom rather than Jackie Chan. If not for WLH staring in this show, I would have been more interested in catching "14 blades" starring Donnie Yen.


As xm knows well enough of my need of calcium, I fall down easily which I did on chu er. My mum was commenting that I'll need to drink lots of milk for calcium to withstand my occasional fall. My knee still feels the pain but as long as I don't fall (choy!) or knock against anything else, I should recover soon. Oh well, besides afraid of falling down, my next fear is faint. Anyway, I should be fine for now, no giddy spells and I'll wear flats whenever I can.

Life is back to the daily routine once again.

Huat ah!! to all my friends!!

Grumbles...

Customer service from XXXX in US sucks!! called to enquiry on my online books order as it has taken them too long to reply & with our hours difference, I hate the long wait.. was pissed off that I had to take such great length to get this order settled.. After taking 1/2 hr transferring me here & there, checking this & that, their only reply was "Your order was not being processed.. You may order from the Singapore office" I starting venting off that it has taken them a week and now I have to re-do my order again.. Damn it!! I was already down & affected by the "incident" and now its this.. well, its the weekend so I had to wait till Mon.. I never encountered problem ordering from the another publisher but thought of changing for this new term..

Managed to finally get it done from S'pore office but the stock will come from UK.. oh well.. internal sourcing process that I know nuts of (the website was US based so naturally I would have thought the books will come from there).. anyway, as long as I get my books, its fine.. well, just when I thought the ordeal was finally over, one of the book is being under consideration for reprinting.. Damn Damn Damn.. How bad could things go.. best is that I have to go without my exam kit.. when can I ever get my book???

Food for Thoughts...

I know my weighing machine has been under the stress of my weight with the days pass.. knowing that my tummy is bigger, a double chin that is getting obvious, rounder face but I simply only console myself that I'll get back in shape someday with my pathetic once a week run (sometime I simply just couldn't drag myself out of the bed).. I simply gave up on myself I guess..

with less than 2 days time, I'll be gorging my way at Bandung.. less than 5 days before I gorge at St Regis for our CNY lunch.. less than 9 days before the reunion dinner and less than a month where I'll gorge non-stop with xm... When am I ever gonna lose weight?? Sobz...

but but but.. somehow, I'm craving for ba kwas, crabs & durians now.. all the unhealthy food I could think of..
