Someone's calling... Something's brewing... Will I answer it appropriately?
Awesome Sunday
Spent almost a day having fun at Marina Barrage, browsing at Borders and shopping at Ion Orchard... Now this is what I call a real Sunday and a real treat after my exam!
40th Day
This is an assurance to all that I am eating normally. For the record, I had 重庆 steamboat last evening and it's a first.
Today marks the 40th day of my bewildering diet! Rule of replacement -- I just need to take my focus away on why I shouldn't eat this and that, and be happy about the goodness I am putting in my mouth. That reminds me I should start applying the same rule in the other areas of my life.
It works pretty well so far except that I caught the bug a second time since and the cold weather must bear some responsibility. I mean I deal with a nose allergy occasionally but that's not flu nor cold. Wish spring can arrive sooner.
*sings This is the song that doesn't end...*
At the end of the day I actually popped a sample piece of Valrhona dark chocolate and I must consider that a reward for myself ;P And by the way, my face may look small but not exactly round because I do have a chin, you know?
We. 三缺一.
These are the three women who make my life a little crazier and easier in my sprouting years of the business... In us, you see a mini society. They are the testament of my patience. There were four of us, now we're gonna survive with one less. For the better of this sisterhood it bloody better be.
Here's a farewell slide show she made... for us who ran side by side in the field.
P.S: You bloody better succeed in your passionate pursuit, Panda Chef!
Make a difference today
Most of us in Singapore have little to worry in terms of the basic necessities of life. Not so in other parts of the world.
Provide food, clean water, clothing, education and medical help for a child who really needs it. Show a needy child you care.
Do something today.
Pissed. Overdue.
Honestly, it's ok if you do not understand my plight but please avoid talking to me like you do and as if your advice rules.
If you don't understand, you don't.
Don't try to put your feet in my shoes and I won't try to put mine in yours.
Family day
I think I'm suffering from post-exam fatigue and perhaps from the lack of carbohydrates... but no, I'm not complaining. I just need to rest and set off again!
Took a break to lunch at Tokei at the Forum Shopping Mall with the Yees, 2Ks and Raine -- good company and food, what more can I say...
I fancy the gindara and fresh veggies and mushroom in my hot pot, and I'll remember that the green tea comes in powder form instead of bags plus the lumpy but powerful wasabi. The staff showed kind service in spite of us occupying quite a lot of space, including stroller space for Kayla and running space for Kristen ;P
The trip would not be complete without stepping into Toys"r"us... I've probably been in the store less than thrice my entire life and I'm pretty amazed by the range of toys available. All are tired, but happy I hope.
Oh, Kristen neither hugged nor kissed 姨姨 today! *sulks*
By His grace
Having two D-Days falling in the same week is... indescribably.
Thankfully, Doc & I are rather satisfied with progress through efforts from diet change and test results from the research. I am being referred to a dermatologist before we explore more scary possibilities of causes -- I squirmed while hearing about them and feel rather anxious after much assurance.
Exam's finally over and I've tried my best... I want to pass and move on. Grace, grace!
Detox continues because the 3 weeks makes a great deal of difference and because life goes on... 2010, here I come!
Cut to de-stress
Check out more salads I made here...
Additional ingredients explored: baby carrots, bananas, blueberries, hard-boiled egg, tofu, sweet corn, walnuts, chick peas, peppers, tuna... For the record, I slice lettuce like I would to fish... I'm amused by myself 'cos I'm supposed to chop!
No more baking as it does little benefit to people who gets to eat them, including myself. Perhaps only for special occasions.
Going into the kitchen to make stuff so healthful and colorful does start my days on a happy note!
It's gonna be alright!?!
Business. 3 weeks more to end of financial year.
Blood. I hate going through the tests and medical checkup, and everything has to happen this week... and I still volunteered to participate in a research programme. I guess that's the only way I can ever give back to my doctor.
Exam. I've not optimistic about this Sunday by my reading progress, but will try nevertheless.
Face. I need a new one. 3 weeks of no fast food, detox and being hungry half the time isn't helping. I guess a little goes a long way... Maybe I should see the famous Dr Georgia Lee and spend $400/month for that. No, not unless I'm out of my sanity. But I do need help.
