hello.

this blog has been really inactive. i guess that's the case when you're working because work takes away all the fun inside you. oh well, at least for me. 

this blog will continue to be inactive, unless i really really have something to write about. however, recently i managed to get my boyfriend to co-create a new blog together with me, to share our common passion in traveling :) the blog is still pretty new and only has very few entries as of now. but we will try to update it from time to time. hopefully i wont be too lazy to write on some guides and tips that i have in mind now. anyway, it'll be easy to guess which post is written by who, because he can write wayyyyy better than me.

so, hope to see you all there! feel free to link us or drop us comments on anything!

Things he said

"however my world is, you're my constant"


'id like to think that if we were both from diff worlds, faith would pull us together in one of our travels'


"i wish i could lay down beside you when the day is done, an wake up to your face against the morning sun"


*swoons*

i might be left with only little savings by the end of this year. but i'm sure i'll be happy enough with the memories of foreign land. i just hope my mom wont be too angry about it.

my boyfriend is so sweet that he surprised me by ordering a box of fat-free, sugar-free, egg-free cupcakes online and had the shop to delivered them to my office, into my hands. i felt embarrassed and sweet at the same time because my colleagues were saying how romantic my boyfriend is. i can't believe this is happening to me, the mediocre, 24-year-old ordinary girl with slight identity crisis.

sometimes i wondered is this a dream or am i really this lucky?


ps: thank you baby :)

just realised i have no songs in my laptop because they were somewhere else. i need more indie songs to keep me sane. by the way, this is the latest single from my favouritest band of all time. 

ps: i've also just updated my about me page, which is irrelevant but i really enjoy writing nonsense i don't know why.

weight issue

i've been swimming for the past weeks since, i don't know when. may/june, i guess? well. the result was promising on the first week - i dropped 1kg. just by swimming four times a week. and i was excited. it's indeed motivating so i continued swimming on days when i don't have to go for my japanese class.

but my progress has been stagnant for quite some time. yes, i shredded about 3kgs since jan/feb after all the excessive travels. but it's just weird. my weight remained unchanged, regardless of  whether it's after meal, before meal, after binge eating or when i'm hungry. now tell me this isn't weird. or maybe i should get a new weighing scale? i don't know.

and it certainly did not help that i'm surrounded by singaporean girls who are soooo skinny, petite and short. you can identify me easily among them because i'm just so, huge. now, that's what i called peer pressure. and what's even depressing? they don't even have to watch what they eat. they could just down a whole plate of fried kuey teow or a big mac with upsized fries and coke without any guilt. i think i'm happier in australia because i look smaller. i tell my boyfriend that i feel fat, and he said that's because i live in singapore.

i told myself that i'm exercising for my own good, because regular exercise is good for our health, right? not forgetting to mention that i have high cholesterol. but if i ask myself just why am i so obsessed with this whole weight/size drama, i think i'm just feeling inferior.

this is bonjour's choc chip loaf. 

this, is 1 awesome bread. it's awesome and fattening at the same time. funny it's made in malaysia but i never seen them on the shelves of supermarkets in malaysia. it's overloaded with all the goodness of chocolate! feeling kinda down recently and i can't stop myself from munching the fluffy slice. and  yes, fuck you carbs, this bread makes me happy.

so many things to do, so little time.

so many travel books to read, so little time.

life. SIGH.
