25th Nov - Judgement day

My lecturer was very sweet, she sent us an email yesterday wishing us all the best! She's really professional and passionate unlike my stupid economic lecturer, he's just so dumb... Anyway, I arrived 1 hour earlier at the examination hall, I didn't expect myself to be so early, I dislike the feeling. Everyone beside me are reading their notes and asking their friends about formulas and such. They are messing up my thoughts! Can't blame them la, it's me who's abnormal. But I just can't absorb anything when it's only 1 hour to the exam. While attempting the paper, I thought we are suppose to complete 5 questions but only at my 3rd question then I realise we only have to do 4 questions and I'm left with 1 hour to deal with the last question. Super blur me! First of all, wrong exam dates, secondly, wrong assumption.. Miserable, it just shows how much I dislike studying.

Breakfast - 1 piece of bread with cheese

Lunch + Dinner - Had a really late lunch, was waiting for Sis S. While waiting, I had 1 siew mai + 1 fried chicken seaweed roll + 1 mouthful of cheese hotdog, then I "dong" until 4pm and we shared the below food with my another sister. Food from Shokudo, not as good as the last time I had it. The noodles and the bread was good! Oh yeah, before Shokudo, we shared 1 herbal jelly milk tea from BUBBLE TREE @ Marina Square, so nice! You should try it if you are a fan of Milk tea!







Snack - 2 pieces of chocolate + 1 mouthful of herbal tea leaf egg

Activity - Walk and shop, tiring day but fruitful

24th Nov - Nervous

I admit I'm pretty lousy, just an exam can make my heart pound for the whole day. There was once when this lady read either my palm or my face and she mentioned I am someone who gets really nervous easily and this is really true. But I think many of my friends din know cause I always appear to be quite calm. lolx....

23 Nov - Change of location - Study Room

With a computer and internet connection around, it's doom! There's no way I can concentrate on my books. Therefore, I decided to isolate myself and hide at the community centre.

It was a boring day at the library alone. Sister S joined me after she finished her paper, she's as free as a bird now, so envious. Wanted to have lunch at the Kopitiam but was too crowded, no kind souls willing to share their table with me. Upset! Have to pack my food back to the eating area outside the library. The weather is killing me softly, was hoping to be able to drink the delicious Tom Yam Soup under the nice air-con. But then....

Not knowing where I'm going, I woke up exactly at 6:30am, dress up, off I go to meet my friends. But they were late for 50mins, sigh, why would they bear to let me wait??? Anyway, we head off to Universal Studio Singapore, it was real fun, you won't feel like you are in Singapore. It's the America style, buildings, structure, people, food all are wonderful!!! Everyone should GO!!! The price is definitely worth the fun and quality of service was simply fabulous!

18 Nov - Something light

As you know, yesterday was all about fast food, so, the oily and sickening remains in the stomach till today. Had light meals for the whole day... Feeling really good!

Breakfast - 1 piece of bread with half a piece of cheese

Lunch - Kueh tiao soup, forget to take picture lei... ha ha ha... was little bit hungry and getting obsessed with foody

Dinner - 1 herbalife shake + 1 slice of fish cake

Snack - 1 piece of chocolate

Sister brought back tau sa piang today, but I din eat it, I shall eat it for Breakfast tomorrow morning. Oh yeah, I tweeted this a few days back. Health promotion board launched a calorie counter program for mobile phones called the "Diet Tracker". Using this, you will be able to check food information wherever you are! http://www.hpb.gov.sg/diettracker/ - I have download it and thought it is pretty cool and informative.

Activity - 1 hour of brisk walking + jogging + sprinting

I saw a lady who is around my size when I was jogging, maybe a little bit bigger than me. It looked so painful from behind, I think she wasn't enjoying the jog at all. For myself, I brisked walk and jog lightly when I was heavier. As mentioned, the amount of pressure on our knees is around 40 times our weight if we make a leap, it can be really hurtful for the knees. I don't really recommend jogging all the way, look at some of the runner athletes, most of them have knee or back injuries, that's because they exerted too much pressure on their body. There are many exercises that can burn much more calories than jogging. For example, aerobics, swimming, etc and I believe these exercises are much more enjoyable than jogging! =)

17th Nov - Fast food day

It's all about fast food today! Very sinful day, ha ha ha.

Lunch - 1 piece of bread with 1 piece of cheese + 1 piece of chocolate

Dinner - KFC, my sister showed me a piece of KFC brochure when she was tidying up the house. Made me salivate the whole day.. craving for fried chicken. I had 1/2 cup of Pepsi + 1/3 piece of rosta burger + 2/3 smashed potato + around 1 piece of drumstick



Activity - 1 hour of aerobics

Lately, I kept seeing people who laughed at me before. And these people, they became rounder and uglier. At this stage of my weight loss journey, somehow, I realised everything happens for a reason be it good or bad. Looking back at past photos and videos, I was reminded of how "round" I used to be. Being ignorance and irresponsible to your own body/health is something to be ashamed of. Think about this, family and friends around you are super worried and you still think you love being yourself? Put yourself in their shoes. For example, you see your loved one smoking, how you wish for him/her to stop smoking, well, this applies to you as well, won't your family and friends want to see you lead a healthier lifestyle? It's the attitude that counts. Let's continue to move forward!

14 Nov - Biggest joke!

I think this is the biggest joke of the year, I thought my exam is tomorrow but when I check again, it's on the 25th. For the last 7 days, I was either at the library or NTU preparing for my exam and now I got to wait for another 10 more days. However, it feels good now that I know I have more time for my paper.



Look at the number of people queuing to go into the library. All of them dashed to the study corner when the gate is only half way up. I was quite shocked to see this. I mean, nobody snatch to let up their seats in MRT for an elderly. Sigh. But I believe there are still some kind souls around.

Breakfast - Ate 2/3 piece of the roti prata + 1/3 cup of coffee + 1 and a 1/2 piece of siew mai. The prata don't taste as nice as before, standard drop.





Lunch - Shared tom yam hand made noodles and a macondald chocolate coated ice cream cone with my sister. Sis complained to me that the woman beside us looked at us at least 5-6 times when we shared that ice cream cone. That woman even took a look at my body when we went off. Not to blame her la, I mean, seldom got people share ice cream cone right, but this is our habit, we are so used to sharing. I remember when we were young, my mother brought us to this coffee shop and have lunch, I think we shared the food because we were not very hungry, then this uncle offered us some money for us to buy some extra food, probably, he thinks we look very pitiful. ha... But we look chubby what, pitiful meh.. lolx





Dinner - 1 herbalife shake + 1 small piece of fish

Snack - 1 piece of chocolate

Activity - 1 hour of aerobics

Oh yah, I am encountering spotting after exercising. I was pretty worried at first but felt much relieved after googling around. Some people mentioned their doctors told them it's nothing to worry about. I will check out with the doctor when I go for my check up! =)

13 Nov - NTU is paradise

For those studying full-time, you should feel really fortunate, you have really big schools with superb facilities. We went to NTU today, it's like paradise. They have Macdonals, Canadian pizza, Food court, Western food restaurant, Old Chang Kee, Subway and Sakae Sushi and plenty of tables and chairs for studying. Look at my school, only 1 building... nothing much... =S.. Anyway, nothing to complain about, everything happened for a reason, I had to study part time and it made me realise it's because I did not work hard when I was in sec sch and poly, a life long lesson learnt.

Breakfast - Shared soon kueh, zhui kueh, jiu chen kuey, roti prata and hokkien mee with my other 2 sisters. We packed 1/2 of the hokkien mee home.

12 Nov - Cravings

It's Friday and yes, cravings again. Most people would want to have better food during Friday and weekend, it's a way to comfort ourselves that the week is ending and it's time to reward ourselves since we worked hard the entire week.

Breakfast - Toast set at Banquet, Jurong point library, but I did not finish the whole set, I shared the coffee and toast with my sister, as for the half-boiled egg, I requested the sweet lady to help me prepare 1 half-boiled and another hard-boiled. Initially she refused, but I suggested to her to put the egg longer in the hot water and she agreed. =)
The hard-boiled egg ends up in Happy's and Lucky's stomachs. ha




Lunch - I guess all of you should know Swenson has got 1 for 1 lunch right, so we went and ordered 2 set meals, but we did not finish the set, we packed 2/3 portion of the burger set and brought it home. Yummy!
