Reviving my blog AGAIN

Apologies for the lack of updates! Hahaha. Not many people come here, anyway.

Hoho I can no longer rmb the following events in chronological order, but anyway I'll just *try to* update them in the correct sequence.

Primary School Gathering

It was a primary school gathering organised by Grace and Shermaine, I think. I met up with peiying first at sun plaza for mac breakfast before meeting up with the rest and heading to Dhoby Ghaut for lunch. LOL. Cheap deal there though the food wasn't of good quality. But its a cheap place to go to if you don't mind lousy food and just want a spot to rot at for the whole day with free flow of drinks and ice cream. Oh, the place is called "Just Acia", I think. Lala. Then later a few of us wanted to go to k box but the majority didn't want to. Eventually, we didn't and we headed off to some cafe at Bukit Timah road that's obviously targeted at the rich who have nothing better to do in the afternoons. The place is kinda "ulu" and the desserts/drinks that they sell there is overpriced. Plus point there is that there's plenty of free board games for you to play there, so you don't have to bring your own set of board games out for a gathering. Err, wait a minute, I just realised people don't do that during gatherings, unless they're going to someone else's house LOL. Anyway that day was not bad for a get together after so many years. Seems like peiying and I still click better with the guys. Haha. Went back to sun plaza after that for dinner, before heading back home.



Candid shot taken of some of the peeps while eating..



This was NOT a candid shot. Hahaha.



Group photo! Outside the cafe we went to, swirl.

Dong Zhi
Hoho, Peiying came to my house for a stayover the day after the gathering! Yep, talked alot, sister heart to heart talks. We slept at 5am LOL. And the result was Peiying getting hooked onto criminal minds HAHAHA. Oh well. Not much to say about that day. She saw a few of my dance friends haha. And she thinks they are 'cute'! LOL OMG totally. This obviously 便宜了 lerae, gsh, lyt, erjie. hahaha. To think they had the cheek to call me down to join them at jp immediately when it turned out to be so boring. oh gosh!

The next day was a Sunday, and it was dong zhi! LOL. Friends who know me well enough will know that my family is nowhere near being traditional, but oh well, we do love to EAT! So my dad made tang yuan for the family :D



Adding water to the glutinous flour (dunno what's that called?)..



My dad working hard haha



Shaped in circles!



Putting the tang yuan into water boiled with pandan leaves so it'll smell nice!



Baby barking in hope for his share too!

LOL and guess what, I totally forgot to take a pic of the final product -.-'
How anti-climax hahah...

Outing with dance people/Dinner with Peiying on New Year's Eve
LOL, I was feeling super sian so I wanted to ask people out on new year's eve. Unfortunately, everyone else was alr booked. Then, goh shu hui and I who happened to be talking at that time decided to go out. Luckily erjie and yantong joined us in the end. Although the outing was still considered quite a failure luh. HAHA. But at least we had something to kill off time on new year's eve, huh?

Later I abandoned them *er hem* and went off to meet with peiying again. LOL, yes I know, it seems like she's my only friend. hahaha. Anyway, we were both craving for pasta and good food, so we decided to give spageddies at Paragon a try, instead of the conventional Pastamania. The food there's not bad, although Peiying ordered beef by mistake. But I guess we were quite happy with the experience there. The staff there have efficient service! Everything's pretty fast.



Peiying's baked penne and my meatball spagetti. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. My order looks wrong huh. Even peiying thinks so LOL.

Start of my diet plan (yes, again.)

So um, as you guys can see, with all that good food and going out, obviously I'd have put on ALOT of weight huh. Over the holidays, which I did, okay. The figure on the weighing scale scared me, so I embarked on my diet plan once again.

This time, I was gonna try what I learned from the taiwan show, 女人我最大。An artiste who went on the show said that she slimmed down by eating boiled veggies and beef, and doing alot of exercise. I told my mum about my plan, and she suggested for me to put some seasoning into the boiling water so I could make some soup instead. It would be tastier that way. At first, I was worried that eating so much seasoning would be unhealthy but heck, when u dine outside, they cook with loads of seasoning too so isn't it the same? At least you can control the amount of seasoning you put at home. So I came up with a wonderful creation of WLS! (Weight loss soup, not wanglaoshi LOL)

My WLS is simple. It contains boiled veggies and beef, and anything else that I can throw inside. Probably egg or beancurd. Anything that cooks easily in boiled water and is tasty. I change the soup base by adding in different seasoning. Its low in fat and extremely tasty as well! Maybe that's cos I'm a veggie lover in the first place, and I enjoy drinking soup alot. So I love my WLS to bits! I won't disclose my weight, but I can only say that I've lost 2 kg so far by drinking it for a few days only! Not to mention I did eat stuff I'm not supposed to eat during these few days, like mcwings meal and bubble tea LOL. But I'm positive it does work! Anyway, even if it doesn't help in making me lose weight, at least its a healthy and simple meal that I can whip up anytime myself. So cheers to WLS!!!



Cooking it..



All ready and served! That's tonight's dinner. I added miso paste in today.

Oh, and if you're worried that drinking soup with veggies won't make you full, just cook a bigger pot! I don't deny that I get hungry really easily, so I can't possibly be like other people and eat really really little or survive on only fruits when I'm on a diet. However, since I love veggies alot, just like my mum, the both of us have been drinking WLS together! So yeap, she washes alot of veggies so I throw alot in! That makes quite a huge portion of soup, that's enough for two big servings! So now I can eat alot and yet feel healthy and low in fat intake!

P.S I just realised that I sound like I'm advertising for WLS. As if its some product that I am manufacturing now LOL.

Okay, there's still work that I've yet to blog about. More on that in my next post!
