Forget the diet for now until my health and sanity recovers

Yup, the diet thing is off for now. Its been a very testing and trying time for all my collegues, being blasted daily for many things about 3+ weeks. So we end up working long hours eg 8-6pm or 9-6.30pm plus everyday. Things are not looking up. And am just waiting for next week to be over and finally take a breather from it all. The irritating thing is that food is not provided daily. Most of us didnt eat breakfast. Lunch was provided for 3 days thereafter poot. The stalls were not open, the couple that opened didnt sell proper meal. As a level, took turns to go out to dabao lunch.

So for my case, I head to town daily after a long day at work. Was out for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The only exception was Wed where I went home to finish out admin work due on thurs. A note, not to watch movie at 9.45pm cos by the time its over, its already midnight. Got to hail a cab to go home, cost about $12 so the total cost is $20! Not cheap ne. Cheaper to watch weekend instead cos got night-rider etc...

Friday tried the Tempura Curry Udon at that curry udon place at Central. The vedict for me. The Tempura is delicious. Its huge, fresh, crispy. Oiishikatta! Demo, the udon is a bit too much. After a while, get a bit sick from eating too much of it. Would prefer rice instead but rice is not served unless u order the Unagi don. Rest are just Udon. Was telling FH and Candle, the number of times I eat Udon in a year can be counted with 1 finger.

Havent gone mapling in almost a month. Think tomorrow then login to catch up. Today just still feeling too tired... bleah still got Jap class. Not that I dislike jap or what but that the journey is tiring. Oh well I think I go to sleep a bit later.

Sesame Street - Bird Flu

This is a funny parody of Sesame Street. For those whom have grown up watching Sesame Street.

Even I found it funny... esp the cookie monster and the ending.



Had a haircut yesterday at the saloon recommended by Tab n Quetzal. Cost $45, the verdict, I like the side and the back. Dun like the fringe cos again its too short... above the eye-brow type. One thing is what I had envisioned is with long fringe, not short ones. And cos my hair grows rather slowly, it takes bloody long to grow a long cool fringe. NEXT time, I am just going to go and print out a bloody picture of the hair that I want, with the cool long fringe and just say "Cut this".

On the whole, the atmosphere there is relaxing, service not bad. Only thing is really nothing to do after my haircut especially IF you go with a long-haired friend, who is doing treatment. By the time you are done, u still got to wait close to an hour for the other to be done. So what did I do? Didnt feel like walking around cos I was feeling sickly in the stomach and throat, due to the exhausting week plus overindulgence in the buffet dinner the night before. So I just sat there, listening to my mp3 with all the Gazette songs inside, falling asleep... later flip magazines for a short while, then listened mp3 again and sleeping... Maybe getting a PSP will help in this type of waiting.

Today is the final weigh-in after 1 month of dieting. The verdict is...

0 kg lost!!!

I am still the same weight, with the extra weight which I wanted to lose. The only thing that came about is I have started doing some weights for my arms to start strengthening the flabby muscles. Will keep to that first and jumpstart other parts like the stomache and back exercises.

Will attempt a longer term dieting thing when my health has somewhat recovered.

The thing about having to work REALLY Really hard...

The thing about having to work really REALLY hard everyday for 2 weeks... is I dun get to eat well. Especially this week. On tuesday, I didnt eat anything save dinner. Drank water, sweetened drink, milk only. No wonder I stepped on the scale and 3kg flew off again.

But dun think this will be permanent cos just had a Staff function where makan is the main activity. Tom then I'll go and weigh myself. Lets just say... I had to sing as part of the entertainment, kinda imprompto and forgot some lyrics. Do not know whether showing this 'aspect' of mine, will land me more 'arrows'. Think dun care at the moment, cos its been a very very very exhausting week for everybody due the arragement of the work timing, events and looooooong meetings. Think a screw or two fell off along the way.

Oh yar. Just remb why I am blogging.

Chanced upon this Japanese-styled Jrock band, KAGRRA. The sound is unique as they mix japanese instruments and music style with the modern band sound. Very oriental and soothing to listen to. Listened to a few, but only like this 2. Give it a try. Too bad the band not so shuai... that is not a main criteria. Just really the rest of their songs do not catch my attention.

1) Song: Uta Kata


2) Satsuki


Kinda nice to listen to relax.

The thing about dieting without exercising...

Yar the irritating thing about dieting without exercising is "Easy come, easy go".

Why?

Cos that is exactly what happened...

Just ate a bit better last Sat and Sun. Maybe this week too cos my mom is away hence eat outside food for meals. Well I weighed myself on Tue and all the weight loss is back... Man its a hard struggle. Oh well and to top it off, next friday I got a staff buffet makan thing plus next sunday that actual wedding. Makan again. There goes everything. Think have to seriously make an effort to exercise, be it at home or at gym. Funny thing is I am used to being lazy by now. Remembering myself, I was the one exercising dilligently from graduation up until I went to NIE. MAN, what did NIE do to me?!? I have become a slob. Bubu... *GRRRS and pokes flabby stomache*

GRR have to gather my will and just do it... best part today I intended to do that, only that I fell asleep after late lunch. Woke up and its already 8pm. Ate a bit.
Now feel like sleeping again...

Band: The GazettE (my current favourite, far exceeding Gackt, cos of the wide array of music styles they play, very versatile, plus DAMN GOOD guitar solos and rifts and great vocalist)

Newest Song : Chizuru (a damn nice yet haunting song, a tune in my head)



I am cramming my still-unnamed MP3 player with all of their songs from their singles and albums. Great Band. In case you are wondering, yes, they have some handsome looking guys. BUT it is the guitar that really draws me in. Listen and see for yourself.

Oh?

I have just reached home today after another 5.40pm day.

The marking ended yesterday, today was calculating the marks, keying into stupid analysis which is so much data-entry that is just time-wasting, looking through the answer booklet to 'squeeze' out drops of marks to help those poor scores.

Just had my bath and decided to weigh myself..

Hmm...

....?

.....!?!

....Wow!

So far from my heaviest weight, I have lost 3kg. Another 2-3kg more to my almost ideal weight. Yay! Will try to mantain this and not let the weight get out of control. Also need to try to exercise those flabby arms and muscles...
