Hello & Goodbye

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve updated my sidebar with links to my photo albums (Picasa web albums via Google Plus) and my new Tumblr blog! It serves the purpose of uploading quick posts and I reckon would be a great place for me to track my Outfit of the Day photos (it takes enormous efforts to do so on WordPress somehow) and also random quotes. Check my tumblr out!

Have I mentioned that I love maggie? Yes, I do. So so much. It’s amazing how fast I built this bond. Looking forward to spending more days with maggie. =)

Haha, caught an episode of the noose with the BF the other day and they coined this term – stupid plus piak (slap) which makes “stupiak” – I found it super hilarious!

Anyway, as I mentioned, I have better things to do and that means… taking stupiak pictures of myself – cause I am that bored. Wahaha..

Finally! One to call my own. At age 26.5 (or thereabouts), I finally have a laptop to call my own! Burnt a hole in my pockets, but it is well worth it! Thankfully, the brother is a Mac pro user and had me connected and up and ready to go.

This only means one thing – you will see more of me, me, me – like it or not. haha.

1. More and more people have commented on how tired I look and that is with make-up on! I had a good look at myself the other day and I have to concur with them. Man, I do look tired! I really have to hand it to ageing – how fast it works its “magic” on my once supple skin once I hit the ripe age of 26. It could be the late nights (up playing games on Facebook or watching my drama serials) but I sure can feel the difference as age caught up.
2. The 4 days without the BF passed so quickly! I hardly missed him at all! Gasp! Luckily, I had quite a packed schedule myself and didn’t have much time to be alone to moan or think about him. Heh. Or perhaps, I have been trained (hard) by him since he basically leaves me alone most of the days while he is working.
3. Facebook is getting boring what with all that World Cup gibberish non-soccer fans are sprouting. And I just bet with my dad that Lionel Messi is from Spain. =_= Trusty Mr Google says he is Argentinean (is there such a word?). Darn.
4. I need a new laptop. This old hand-me-down lappie from the BF’s mom only satisfies my basic needs but what with getting down to serious business (literally?) I really need a good laptop. Or at least one with Microsoft Office installed =( I need to catch the market (not the wet one, duh!) while it is heating up!
5. Just cause I don’t like to end on 4, here’s one last bit. Last Bit.

Hello, it has been such a long time since I’ve written a proper entry. I think it was quite a record clocking in only 6 entries last month. There were many a times whereby I left this page on my dashboard at work but never having the drive to actually sit down and pen and churn out posts of random snippets. It used to be so easy writing out my thoughts, doing up nice collages, feeling all anal about alignments and being embarrassed about my grammatical errors. I have no idea what happened, maybe work got more hectic – but that is a story for another day. Maybe there is just no reason for this sudden dis-interest in all these blogging business.

Whatever it is. I know I will be back. It is just a slight hiatus as with previous hiatus. Don’t abandon me and my tiny little space. We will miss you.

That is how much weight I gained from 16October till 28 October, a mere 1.5 weeks. Granted, it is not like I have been doing much to stop the weight gain but it sure is dis-heartening to know that age, correspondingly the  metabolism rate, is slowly catching up.  

In a bid to lose some of  those weight, I played some Wii-Fit last night and it was so good working out a sweat – all 45 minutes of it. I, especially love the “Aerobics” section where it is designed to burn calories. The Hula-Hoops is damn fun, can’t wait to get more Fit Credits so that I can unlock more variations. There is also the “Running” category and while the short-distance was a piece of cake, the long distance was rather tiring (or it could have been cause it was the last exercise I did). I was a little concerned though because  the instructions manual specified that the balance board was meant to be used barefooted but in this case of running on the spot (not on the balance board), should I or should I not wear shoes? Shoes are meant to give you the support required so that you don’t hurt your ankles and all, right? I don’t know but the online recommendations seems to suggest that shoes are usually worn by other users. Hmm… up next, shopping!

Wii Fit is definitely a good place to start working out =)

The peeps sprung quite a nice unexpected surprise last Friday. With my birthday done and dusted and swept under the mats, it was really sweet of the boys to remember (though I did hint to a particular someone ). Plus it was one of the nicest gift I have received, ever!  

I lurve, lurve it…  

The package was so huge and so heavy, I could never have guessed what lie behind the beautifully-wrapped (I feel obligated to say this) package. For some reason, I thought it was a doll-house?! Oops!  

Unravelling the wrapper, the most unexpected gift of a Wii Fit!! Woohoo.. so cool!!! 

Ctty, Boy, Zh and I crazily set it up at 2 plus and did some crazy hula-hooping, balancing, running and yoga till 3 plus four. Boy, did it work out a sweat. It was quite a workout at least in the wee morning.

You think it is possible to wake up every day half hour earlier to get some Wii-Fit loving?

post script: Thank you guys for the loving gift, the thought of it, the effort put in. I really do appreciate it. It meant something
