Inspired to be a vegen.
Thursday, January 7, 2010 @ 5:19 AM
Just read
Sophx blog and OMG I am so inspired to take up a Vegen diet for a good month. Sophx doing it because Buddha answered her prayers and the purpose of being on a vegetarian diet is to a thorough body, mind and soul cleansing - exactly what I need at this present moment in life.

If detoxing is a little bit too hard then hopping on a vegetarian diet shouldn't be all too hard, eh? Besides, I love vegetables - whether they're stir fried with crushed garlic or freshly tossed in salad .. anything goes :)
I could treat this vegetarian substitute as a quick diet before I head off to another 3 week Ajinamoto / MSG infested holiday.
Though I know this sounds stupid but.. Pasta is vegetarian right? hehehe. Just checking alright.
Shorttiger is a big fan of broccoli and in fact, I am currently craving for some blanched broccoli tossed in light olive oil and garlic and tuna. OHMYGOD. My mouth is. watering. at. the. thought. of. it. right. now.

Maybe you might want to be a vegetarian for a week, two weeks or a month? :)
So heading to the supermarket tomorrow to get myself some supplies!
That's all for now :)
What does your face say about you, hmm?
Tuesday, January 5, 2010 @ 5:56 AM
Has it ever occurred to you that it is not just the first impressions that count? Some people could judge you straight away just by reading your face without having to make conversation with you. Why is it that some people appear nicer to others, but with others, they appear reserved and would prefer to have no affiliation with them? You can learn a lot about people just by looking at them.Many things about your face tells a story and unfolds characteristics about you that your family and friends may not know, let alone, it may even come to a surprise to you. Such face readings are called Phsiognomy (*don't ask me how to pronounce this cos I've tried numerous of times, but fail just like all of you) and is a common practice in the fortune telling industry. To read more

I have been fortunate enough to have learnt a little bit about face reading over the years of having my grandparents around. I remember the first bit of advice my wai-po said to me:
those with hard ears are those who are stubborn
I remember being told as a child after being caught lying to my parents that
only liars don't blink when they tell you something
*smack smack.
Hey true enough! Through the years of meeting new people and talking to old ones, I have come across at least 80% of people who tell a lie in their stories or insert a lie in the events that happened over the weekend, or what he said or what she said. It never failed to intrigue me to see how good of a liar some people can be, especially when it has become second nature to them.
I have always been a person who casts a shadow of doubt on what everyone says. I can't help it; its in my blood and it doesn't mean that I don't trust what people say 100% of the time, it just means I am more cautious with the people around me. If someone tells me something, I'd suck it in and digest it when driving home or in bed. I've had issues with trusting people for many years, and this sad trait still carries on til today. There are its benefits of course.
I have a habit of looking at people and analysing them. LOLROFLLMAO and I sincerely apologize to anybody who have once thought that I was judging them. Having said that, my analytical mind of people categorizes them into : trustworthy, ok & no. It's seriously too hard to explain. Anyway, I must thank
M for secretly teaching me a little bit more about this before he went back to Sg for good.
Our eyes are what people call ' the windows to our soul ' .
When we make eye contact with somebody we often have instinctive feelings about that person. Of course, if you are well connected to your intuition, then a fleeting moment of eye contact with a stranger can give you a lot of clues about their character. We naturally feel somebody is shifty if they avoid eye contact and we feel comfortable if the eye contact is direct. We can also look at the shape of the eyes and eyebrows. Round and curved eyes indicate a more emotional personality than straight eyes, which indicate a more logical outlook. Similarly brows that are more curved imply a more emotional mindset. If the eyes and brows tend to slope upwards towards the edge of the face then this is an indication of an optimist. Pessimists tend to have downward sloping eyes.
*source:
classic fengshui readingI can tell what a person is thinking when they look at me a certain way especially when I am talking to a person or a group of people; just the way one person looks at you with a slightly tilted head and eyes to the corner. I aint stupid. I can still see your face through the corners of my eyes. So the next time you're talking to somebody you don't exactly like, try to speak to them with your face looking directly at them cos you'll never know, they might be secret feng shui masters. hahahahaha. oh dear.
Anyway, enough about this. I is tiredz.
yawn.
*what prompted this entry? nothing really, I happened to stumble across an interesting article :)

the biggest loser challenge
Saturday, January 2, 2010 @ 9:58 PM
DoctorDikshit and I have just engaged in a mutual challenge, to what we call, the biggest loser challenge: to lose 5 kgs by 30 Jan 2010.
Right now my work out plan is as follows:
1. Cardio 4 times a week - building from power walking to long distance running.
2. Pilates twice a week - resistance band training for toning and strengthening.
3. No carbs after 3pm.
4. No solid food consumption after 8pm.
5. ≥ 1L of water each day
6. If alcohol is on the cards, limit to 2 drinks :)
7. Cheat days on fridays - to eat whatever you want with a limit!
This plan will work its magic; it did last time til .... I got lazy heh.
Post #1: 2010
Friday, January 1, 2010 @ 7:28 AM
WELCOME to the year 2010 where I believe will be a great year filled with newer experiences and a hurdle or two along the way which would make the experience of being a 23 year old office lady more worthwhile :)
So the partying for the countdown to celebrate the end of 2009 began at 1030pm last night at the usual "clubhouse", Hits Studio, and it was most definitely a memorable one.


The last day of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 concluded with a messy toilet roll obsession.
GOOD NIGHT.
lao sai
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 @ 6:50 AM
What is 'lao sai?'
Lao sai is the hokkien term for DIARRHEA or "the runs", and that is exactly what I had a couple of hours ago. It is disgusting and inconvenient especially when you fine dine or have dinner at a hotel.
My family and I had our dinner at the Hyatt hotel this evening and after just my second oyster of the night, my stomach bailed on me. I swear.. that second oyster was kinda off and as a result, it messed with my delicate stomach.
it.
was.
so.
bad.
As I type this I can feel the bugs in my stomach doing somersaults and back flips, my lips are dried and shriveled and body temperature just went through the roof.
The moral of this short story boys and girls is to stay away from oysters or any food that you don't usually consume because it'll eff your poor stomach :( and running for the toilet [ though still walking fast but in the poshest way ] is NOT such a pretty sight!
Speaking of dried shriveled lips.. PHO dac biet is the best lip drying food ever.
I'd SO kill for one now.. drool.

FML.
No seriously, FML.
FML kao2.
P/S: Avatar sucked til maybe the end when it got kind of ok, but other than that, it sucked balls. Don't get what the fuss is all about.
PPS: I fell asleep in the beginning until Will nudged me.
*anyway, will be MIA for awhile.

I can't believe it.
best quote ever
Sunday, December 27, 2009 @ 9:33 PM
Nothing tastes better than being skinny.
- Kate Moss
I have lived by this ever since I read it in a gossip column a good month ago and has since become the best motivator ever.
what's zee problem!
@ 7:28 AM
In less than 4 days Ange and I will quit ___________ together and this time it's for real. It's definitely harder than it sounds and for starters, I think it may take up to a month or two to finally kick the habit. It's like an on-going obsession with shoes. When you buy one pair, you'll keep lusting for another. lol lust. yes. lust; and even when you know you shouldn't buy another pair of shoes (when you know that the pair you're looking at actually look like all your 1902302390 other pairs) you still end up purchasing it even with the last dollar in your pocket. I couldn't have said it better heh.
Aside from this my other NY's resolutions for 2010 are:
- to continue with the exercise because, nothing tastes better than being skinny.
- to drink at least 1L of water everyday - dad's mum had kidney failure.
- cut down with the foul language because it's disgusting and sometimes I can't believe that I'm on par with the kind of foul language men use.
- become a little bit more ladylike in terms of the way I carry myself. I don't know. I've always had an issue with this, even though other people may not think so. Meh. My opinion anyway.
- Save at least $5,000
- Curb unnecessary spending - which already I know fails anyway but i'll keep on trying.
- Be good at my profession - Finance.
- Read at least 10 novels ranging between different genres but NO romance because romance novels just gives some serious unrealistic expectations of love and etc haha.
- Buy/Build a home with the love of my life. haha so cheesy.
And zat is all. WHAT IS ZEE PROBLEM!
I hope all of you have your new years resolutions ready!
