Something Gone Wrong?

Sigh, looking back at my 2008 photos again. Didn't know I could look so much better in those days! Something must have gone wrong to let me lose so much weight or something gone wrong that my weight went back up again. Looked so much better with the clothes I had last time compared to the boring clothes now. Argh! Probably the only time I can look like that again would be after NS and I'll have to maintain my look. Start now? Sure. Back to the routine of eating half my normal portion or even lesser. No snacking, no fast food, cut down on greasy and oily stuffs and do some running. Sounds easy ain't it? Need to find the determination to do so, but where to? *sigh*

How I looked like in 2008

Great Asia Trip 2011

I'm finally back from Great Asia Trip! It had been a wonderful journey throughout Asia. Still finding it hard to believe that it actually happened! Days just zoomed past so quickly without you even noticing. A quick summary of what I did in various cities. 

Kuala Lumpur

Stayed at Novotel Kuala Lumpur for 4 nights. The hotel itself is ok and the price is good. Breakfast was awesome! It has a great spread of stuffs like bacon, cheese, sausages.. Whatever you can dream of a perfect breakfast. Pavillion shopping just nearby, but nothing much to shop. 5 days is sort of too long in KL for me, but thankfully managed to pull through!

Hong Kong

Reason for visiting Hong Kong was to fly Emirates First Class. If it flew to somewhere else I'm sure our destination would have been switched. A short and pleasant 3 day tour here was great and very fun. =)

Dubai

Dubai is a very expensive city. The hotel alone costs S$250 per night! Don't think of coming here if you don't have a lot of dough to spend... Toured around the East Coast of the Emirates which cost like S$70 for the whole day. However, it definitely takes you to places that you cannot access by yourself unless you've got a car and know how to go around.

Bangkok

The best part of the trip, what else can I say? Apart from some minor screw ups, the Bangkok segment was near perfection. All 3 hotels I stayed in were great and has a reasonable price. Didn't know cheap and good hotels still exist! Room service in Bangkok is cheap too. Shopping in Bangkok should be the most fun and apparently most Thais think that I look like a mix of Chinese and Thai and I can really SPEAK like a Thai O.o. I should take up some Thai language lessons soon, I guess? 

This trip is definitely one of the most memorable trips I ever took!

减肥

While clearing my wardrobe in preparation for my packing for Great Asia Trip, the most saddening fact has hit me - I have gained so much weight that even my buttocks are unable to fit into those wonderful jeans I had last time. The jeans are wonderful with lots of patterns and colours that I love even till today. I used to look great in them but now I cannot even fit in them! 感触良多.

How did I lose from 105kg to 83kg and drop 10 inches of my waistline back in 2007 to 2008? I started eating just half of my usual intake, not taking fast food but I did not do much exercise. That's quite a wonderful way to lose weight, isn't it? Considering that I am not a very sporty person, I could try eating lesser again to combat my weight gain. I have hit the top of my weight at 115kg this time round. How much more am I going to gain? I don't know. I imagine myself back to my old self, slimming down and wearing back those beautiful clothes and wonderful jeans again! How long will it take? 1 year? I'm not sure. The most dreaded phase of my life is coming - National Service. A very definite way to lose weight and probably I might even drop to below 80kg after that due to strenuous training inside.

That was how I looked at my best. Will I get back to it? Hopefully. 

March

It's March again! March seems to be the hot season for my travels. Going on a Great Asia Trip from March 12 to March 26. Can't wait for it! Been a long time since I blogged. What have I been up to lately?

The Chinese New Year has passed by swiftly. It's surprising how time passes by so fast! Just exactly 1 month ago it was the first day of Chinese New Year. Another point to note is that I have finally ended my attachment! It is great to stay home and slack for the whole day and wake up at 12pm every day. Enjoying my well deserved rest period after working non stop for 5 months! A tough journey indeed. Now I'm missing the work there! However, will definitely won't miss the times when I had to wake up early in the morning and feeling like a zombie to go to work. Thinking back, it's already been almost a month since I ended work. Talk about time flies...

Went to East Coast Park with her on Tuesday to teach her how to cycle. Reached Tanjong Pagar at 1.35pm but she told me she was still in the interview. Therefore, I sat at the MRT platform to wait for her. When time was reaching 2pm, I think my time for the MRT will be up so I exited the MRT and waited for her at the Control Station while watching my show on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. Finally after 1.5 hours of waiting, she came in my sight. =) Went to Kallang MRT and took bus 31 to ECP. Alighted and tried walking to the park.

We were given the wrong directions and went the wrong way. Argh~ Have to u-turn and walk the other way. At around 4.30pm we finally reached ECP and rented a bike from 5-7. At first we rented a small bike to teach her how to cycle but apparently it turned out quite a disaster. =X At least she was able to balance by herself for at least 10 seconds. Hehe. At around 5.40pm we decided to change to the double bike. Thinking it was quite fun, we decided to cycle to Changi. On the way there, I spotted an Airbus A320-200 and the tail looked like it was from South African Airways which don't even fly to Singapore. Getting excited, I cycled faster and faster and in the end the chain came out. OOPS! Spent at least 40 minutes trying to fix it but to no avail but thankfully a group of bikers helped us! Was looking out for any professional bikers that can render their help.

Not having much time left, we went to wash our hands which was ultra dirty and returned the bike followed by going to take bus 36 to Changi Airport. My favourite place in Singapore. Hehe! Reached Terminal 3 and decided to eat at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe. I'm falling in love with Hong Kong food and definitely cannot wait to reach there and yum cha everyday! I had the wanton and char siew noodle while she had the chicken baked rice. We also ordered har kow, fried wanton and guo tie to go with our meal. Overall, it was a satisfying meal! Totally tired out after the whole day, but it was fun!
