Lovely :)

Thankfully that Google keeps this. All good. I haven't blog for a long time, picking this up again.

Fast and Furious

Not talking about the movie. I am talking about hearing this from my friend umpteenth times on things that had changed for me. I was as grey as the colour of this blog for many years. Not now, things had really changed for me. Jesus had really changed me and the way I perceived things. I am not perfect, no man is perfect. But I received the joy that I had not felt for many years.

I am in touch with old friends and make some new ones. We are a fun loving bunch and most important, we all love Jesus because we are Loved by this wonderful saviour Jesus.

Psalm 23:6

New Century Version (NCV)

⁶ Surely your goodness and love will be with me
all my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Jeremiah 32:40

My eyes have seen, my mind unblocked and I understand how much Jesus love me. His love is everlasting and His promises is real. He meant what He says and He says what he meant. I have awaken.

Jeremiah 32: 40 (NLT) And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me.

Praise God.

SK II Cellumination Essence - Thumbs Up!!!!

Fantastic product with an equivalent "fantastic" price. I had tried so many different serum, some calms my sensitive skin, some does nothing but this baby makes me look like I had enough sleep and well rested. It makes my skin looks supple, soft and radiant. It was how my skin look after using this that convert my sister to using SK II.

I am a believer now. I had since added other products of this brand to my regime.

SK II Treatment Essence

Just got back to use SK II products again June 2010. It had been many years since I last use their product again. It did not show any significant results then perhaps due to my aready good skin. Well, it's time to use this again now with my blotchy uneven skin tone, aging skin.

To be honest, the result isn't immediate but I do see improvement that I am suffering much lesser break out due to my lack of sleep and work stress.

The best deal I found so far is the 250ml Treatment Essence retail at SGD182 at Naunce Watsons located at the Singapore Changi Airport. If you are departing from the Airport, do remember to pick that up. If you are a traveller transiting , you can stock up too.

Swollen feet

I couldn't fit any shoe, sandal with my exploding swell up feet. Had to wear my nieces' flip flop. Oh well, manage to get sis to help me buy a pair from Billabong so that I had something to wear when I need to go out for my medical review.

Hello Blog, I am back

Just injured my ankle on 12 Mar, the day after the 311 Japan Quake. It was the worst ever sprained ankle I had, both ankle sprained at the same time.

I couldn't move at all after the fall. It was too painful and I was there 1/3 across the road. Counting my blessing that no car pass at the moment I fall, or else, I won't be writing here now. A couple across the other side of the road came over to help me, some man drinking at the Harry's bar across the road came to help me. I am not able to bear weight at all and couldn't stand up, so 2 of them carried me to the side of the road. 1 went back to the bar to get me a glass of water.

The lady (couple that 1st came over to help me) asked if she need to get me an ambulance or anyone I could call to help. Told her I will call my sister. They all left after awhile and I sat by the road on the curb to wait for my sister. 1 car trying to U turn horn at me probably thinking why on earth I sat by the road. I can't do anything or move, just be it.

Sister was in a fluster trying to look for me even when I had given her my location. Molly from the salon I frequent found me 1st. She heard my sister mentioning and came over to help. With her help, my sis got me into a taxi and we got to the ER.

What a day.... what damn luck.

Dawn did not come

Feeling very down as days went by. Feel I am stucked in a situation that I had not yet find a way out. Hate what I have to do and face each day.

When days had turn into dark nights

There were many wonderful days. Then darkness creep in every now and then throughout our lives.  There are always a period when your days seems dark.  There are many reasons and cause. It could be the time when you are separated from someone you love dearly, the deceased of a loved one, a traumatic experience or a severe illness that you need a long time to recuperate.

 

I have again walk into a dark period of my life.  There’s no dead people, illness or passing on of someone dear. It is the close encounter of people who doesn’t know how tp respect another person and is one of those difficult people you have to deal with. These people belittled you because they are little. They speak loud and fear that the whole world have not heard them. IT may have been that the world does not pay any intention to what this person wants to say. This person is the version of the Priestly in the devil wears Prada but in low places… not the editorial position tho.  I hate what I have to endure at the moment. I just take it as a good shake up. A good experience of what it will be like to start a new job all over again.  I am not happy and desire to flee.

 

As for the classes that I am attending.  I am also stressed big time.  I had a friend whom I had been close but taking the course together proved a deadly mistake. This person is not focus. I am seeing the other side of this person.  As friend, ok but as a course mate, this person sucks. Well, I will have lots to say but I gonna leave it for the next entry when I have more time.

 

I am pending for dawn….

It may seem strange for me to write about a person.  I just gotta pen this down.  I had a friend met during my Secondary school time. I had very vague memory and not much re-collection of how I had lost contact with her. There’s a possible reason which I hate to think about.

 

She had not been well before we graduate, she had cancer.  I am too young and know nuts about medical stuff to ask what she is having.  I only know she had been dropping hair and have to wear a cap. I remember her features and she wears dental braces. She had a dog named DooDee which always sleeps in a basket in her parent’s room. She brought me to the International Baptist Church she attended at Farrer Road.

 

I don’t why, don’t know how we lost contact.  This is one regret in my life as I had not been there for her, my friend.  I do not know if she had survived cancer then and if she is still alive.

 

I do not have many friends during my sec sch life.  She is one of the friend that is genuinely nice to me and not like some who had been mean to me.

Tallest Building in the World before Burj, Dubai is completed.

We were on top of the World when we visited Shanghai World Financial Center. The guide told us that this is the Tallest Building in the World at this moment that we are, here standing in the observation gallery on the 100^th floor.  This is measuring up to the roof (net height), not of any other structure that stretches the height.

 

Pondering about how true the guide had said, I do find some info on WWW that does not directly say anything about this being tallest at the moment.  But deep in the heart of some, you decide.  I am also attaching a pix that is printed at the back of the ticket.

 

 

 

Memories

I had not been writing for awhile but felt the urge to write these down today.  

 

We will grow old, loses most of our memories eventually.  I wonder what memories we will hold on to?  I was speaking to a colleague today about places we had been to.  I had so much fond memories of all the places I been to and the person I went with. I remember the fun and happy events and vaguely remember those that are unpleasant.  The bad ones seems to dim and fade.  I think our brain has a way of filtering and sorting our memories.  We remember the good ones and less of the bad one.

 

I hope the default stays this way, so I have more happy memories than the sad or bad ones when I am old.

 

Busy studying

Not that easy to try to get into the momentum. I can feel that I am kind of rushing through and taking every minute I could toy. I wan try to absorb as much as I can learn. Homework, project and quizzes. I heard so much from friends around me and now it's me experiencing it.

I am enjoying myseelf though, so much to learn and new people I meet and new friendships.

I also want to keep a tab of my day to day as I may miss important things and people along the want to take note of what's going on with my 2 pups too. They had been missing me since I had been busy and not have the usual amount of time to spend with them.

I got an email from "AM" about my blog but I don't even have much time to think about how I can commit or help. I do want to do more "project" for my blog and I really had not done so.

About my weight... still there, more to lose. No great rebound... thank goodness.
I am doing another test for a product. Will perhaps post when the result is satisfactory.

I haven't been ranting for a long time

I wasn't very happy with things that is going on at the moment. Truely that the world will be a better place if people can be nicer and less political. It can be much better for that person who enjoys the kick of throwing the weight around, making life difficult for people but not exactly make it easier for that person either.


i just have to pray that things will turn around and work out right.

All over again

I re-start my Atkins after 3 wks' break and is happy to say that I had not gain any weight in the 3 wkss. I had lost 1kg this week since re-start. This time round, I ammoe familiar and prepared. I zip through the 1st wk with ease and had not suffered any craving. It is much easier than th very 1st wk I had in Oct.

I am abit way off schedule as I aimed to lost a total of 10 - 12 kgs by Jan 2008. I had only lose 5kgs in the 1st round and now minus another 1 kg, that had make me fall short of another 4 - 6 kgs. Considering having only aout 4 wks in Dec and at this rate, I may well be able to lose about Kgs if I am wrking hard on it. That will put my target at 62kg by end Dec.

Wish me luck.

Thanksgiving

It is really a day, month, year to count our blessing and thank our creator. We had always take things for granted. I am so thankful that my family, friends and I are safe. So much tragedy going on and the current terrorist situation in Mumbai.

My prayers of comfort to those who have their love one in Mumbai. Those who are anxious, stranded in Bangkok that is not able to make it home for thanksgiving.

Start again

 

I was complaining that my weight goes down too slow when I was on Atkins. 3kgs in 1 month comparing with some than loses more than that.  I have nothing to complaint now.  I wasn’t feeling well the 1^st 2 wks of Nov and had thus stop my Atkins for that period. I know I shouldn’t stop but I do not want to make it too difficult for myself. I am going to be on this way of eating for a long time and there is no way to make it seem so bad that I wouldn’t want to do it next time.  

 

I was eating simple bland food for the week that I have fever coming and going. Than 2^nd week, I am eating normal but still try not to eat too much rice. I had some desserts and pretty happy with the baguette that I was craving for. I had mee siam on 1 of the wkend and Laksa on another.  This is simply too sinful to think about.  All the while still watching the scale.  I had rest enough and ate enough of carbs. I embark on my diet again yesterday. It is a bit easier than when I first started on this diet. I had to make sure I stay on this till CNY.  I am pleasantly surprised that I had not gain any weight during these 3 wks in Nov. Perhaps that is the benefit of losing it slow, gaining it slow or nothing.
