Cheated!

Not by anyone, but myself with some mistakes.

A few random points to explain how:

• Have Salmon mayo/ Seafood mayo / whatever mayo spread on wholemeal bread thinking it's all good omega 3 but no!!! Mayo itself packs a lot of fat -> Need to switch to light tuna in olive oil/water
• Ate an Old Chang Kee curry puff but it is 400 calories!! -> no more Old Chang Kee because everything is deep fried, even a Mac Fish burger seems more filling and is only about 360 calorie
• Talking to the trainer on ground while in the gym and i can't go fast because she's talking to me -> concentrate, time is short.
• Same goes for egg tarts, sweet & sour pork -> Try to skip this completely!

Eye in the Sky

"I think you are more attractive when you were somewhat between malnourished and now"

Don't think sorry's easily said
don't try turning tables instead
you've taken lots of chances before
but i ain't gonna give anymore
don't ask me
that's how it goes
cause part of me knows what you're thinking


don't say words you gonna regret
don't let the fire rush to your head
i've heard the accusation before
and i ain't gonna take anymore
believe me
the sun in your eyes
made some of the lies worth believing


 I am the Eye in the Sky
Looking at you 
I can read your mind

I am the maker of rules
dealing with fools
i can cheat you blind

And i don't need to see anymore
I can read your mind
Looking at you
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
don't cry i ain't changing my mind
so find another fool like before
course i can't live anymore believing
some of the lies while all the Signs are deceiving

If you don't like the way i am now, there's nothing more i can give

A solitary tune

Again, it has been some times since I dropped in. And as usual, it always happens when i'm deeply perturbed by some little thought.

The song playing on my ipod reflects the dainty solitude of raindrops on a day overcrowded with overcast skies. A man, A woman looking towards the sky, deeply pensive, deeply quiet, lingering thoughts of a love that breezed by.. wondering...how. why? I know this song is important to him in some way, i will never be able to understand - it is something so private he keeps it within him, impenetrable..

Yet, likewise with everyone else, some memories and some thoughts are best to be left unsaid, unmentioned, skimmed. An unspoken hurt, an unforgettable person, memories of you that felt so long ago, mostly detached. 


I missed class again today, and it wasn't like i was not prepared, i was. I brought my things out yet the tiniest thing can change our course. How am I going to use up 40 sessions in 6 months? 


For some reason, a sense of solitude crept in when i was on the bus watching the skies turn pink and slowly, dark. People buzzing by while the lights of the new malls crept around it in a dance, faintly magical. The fresh smell of rain and wet ground replaced by the lush, rich smell of the royal garden in the city so luxurious with its strong tall trees and lily filled pond. Idyllic yet somewhat... lonely. But sometimes, we need moments like that. A tune plays on at giraffe, lending an American vibe beckoning embattled adults like myself to come in and chill. 


How nice it will be with a drink in hand and some good music and your through-the-seasons friends? 


Laughing at the corporate rats shackled by invisible chains in their cubicle cell, spellbound by their PCs. Hands typing furiously to cover their ass, eyes darting across the lines, cross-eyed! Jumps or sigh at every phone call - boss says: is this ready? why did you write ---? explain the rationale for this --- with each ending with a sigh of relief when it's over --- okay thanks, byeee (and don't call again please). 


What i hate most about the job? Inactivity! Chained to the chair! Sneaky weight gains and hours that fly past as your mind is occupied by 'how to keep your job/save your ass/not feel stupid'. Months pass swiftly and you realise you haven't done much in your life and you'll reach 25, then 30, then 40... in no time.


What i love most about the job? I don't know. Sense of importance in society as a productive individual i suppose, something that occupies you, company brand, financial freedom and that's about all. 


Oh well. Anyway, for some reason i thought about him again. Por Una Cabeza - pining to dance again. Dance. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy the class so much because it is so hard to keep up (to him). I'm glad he took up the beginner latin class with me despite not having much interest towards it. But now i'm thinking.. i think i need a pseudo robotic dance partner if i ever want to dance with the flying feeling again. 


WHYYYYY?

Chinese New Year Goodies

This year, I didn't have much Chinese New Year goodies (or junkfood to be blunt) except some almond cookies made by my bf's parents. Those are really yummy and irresistible though :)

Showing this Kueh Bahulu pictures because they are my favourite CNY goodie, crusty outside and soft inside with a sweet egg flavour. It's amazing how long they can be kept, a month at least? It must be the preservatives inside but in any way, i love these but didn't get the chance to eat much of it. 

 

I didn't even taste Bak Hwa if I can remember! However, I had Yu Sheng a couple of times and for that I must say that my CNY have been good. Yu Sheng is the highlight of CNY every year and I can eat alot of it, got my 2010 quota (: 

 

Some pictures of Saturday's Lunar 14th day - Sundown BBQ at Anna's place

 

I made the salad! :) Colorful and healthy but i shot this on macro mode by mistake. 

We hanged out and played the game Cash-flow while enjoying the very sweet honeydew i picked up from the supermarket.

Valentine's Day

A trip to St John's island, simple picnic lunch and a tent 

Dinner at Perle Noire with the best baked oysters I've ever tried so far

Delightful white wine and molten chocolate cake *yumm!*

Happy Valentine's Day! 

PS: We didn't celebrate it on Feb 14.
