Time to get started on work. Which means time to procrastinate.... which means time to go write some random crap on xanga.
Anyway. Just realised I haven't talked about my diet/study plan in ages. Maybe because it's totally not working out. Arrghhh knew this would happen! BUT i'm glad to say that it has resumed as of yesterday!!!

Yesterday:
Woke up at 8:30 am (yes I had to specify this part because under normal circumstances it would probably be pm), had breakfast, then headed to the gym. Wasn't that bad actually- spent an hour or so working out.
Then I had a crab cake & salad for lunch, showered and worked on job apps. Only had a crab cake for dinner because I was suffering from heartburn (the medical condition, not the other meaning) or something similar. Must've stuffed one too many lettuce leaves into my mouth during lunch.

*Oh yeah, here's a kind of random but somehow related piece of info for those trying to lose weight: apparently fruits shouldn't be eaten directly after a meal. The food you eat during meals take longer to digest; fruits you consume immediately after also stays in the stomach longer then usual, undermining the benefits of eating them (and makes you feel bloated). The point of fruits is for its nutrients to be absorbed by the body (it also fills up your stomach so you feel less hungry)! Therefore fruits should be eaten on an empty stomach, and on their own.*

Today:
- Woke up at 12:30 pm ARGH. But I was aching from the gym and have a sore throat! Excuses, excuses.
- Had half a medium pizza. And an English Breakfast tea!
- Wondering if I should go to the gym. Hmm... naahh. I'll just exercise tomorrow. Can do some simple exercises at home.. sit-ups etc.
- Gotta study!! Okay, after this xanga post (which takes forever to write. HEH HEH).
- No snacking until dinner, during which I will eat the other half of the pizza.
- Sleep at midnight and hopefully wake up by 9. AM.

Okay, time for another questionnaire :)

Laughing when no one else is. Which is what I always do anyway. I'd feel so uncomfortable in the other one!

Have my pants ripped.. I guess? The other one sounds kinda funny though lol.

Alone!

3. It's your friend's birthday, do you buy them a gift even though they didn't buy you one for yours?

Treat friends and family (and myself) to a nice yummy meal :)!! (and get fat. hope I NEVER win the lottery)

5. Do you like your music loud or at a reasonable level?
Loud usually. But I try not to disturb my flatmates. And before I sleep, pretty soft.

6. Are you a beach person or a snowy mountain person?
More like a stay at home and laze around person.

7. When do you prefer to take a shower, morning or night?
Morning, or I feel like crap for the rest of the day. And after I go to the gym because it makes me proud that I went to the gym :)

Damn... I don't know! Probably a really sad one. Which isn't saying much again haha -_-

12. Do you like to keep the peace or be confrontational?
In general, I like to keep the peace. But I'm confrontational when I feel a need to let someone know something I feel strongly about.

A New York penthouse. The ones with huge windows with a view of the skyline. lol that's always been one of my dreams.

16. What is your ideal profession?
A relaxing, fulfilling one that involves me understanding people, myself, and why things are the way they are. All of this whilst enjoying life with lots of cats. Is there such a profession? A lazy philosopher/psychologist cat-lover on the verge of retirement? lol.

17. Are you closer to your Mom and Dad?
Compared to my friends?? I cannot compare family with friends lol. They're separate. Totally different!

18. What is one fear that you can't seem to overcome?
Fear of the future, failing, worrying about what others think (insecurity) and not being good enough for anyone or anything. And the fear of becoming OBESE. Which is soon becoming reality. Actually I have a lot of fears!

Don't really mind either. As long as I get my own space when I live with others!

24. Do you like any of your friends a little more than just a friend?

26. what did you eat for dinner?
It's not dinnertime yet. DO NOT remind me about food please. Okay next question...

27. If you found out that you were going to move countries what do you do.
I'd think about what I'd have to leave behind, feel sad about it, be a little angry, then move. Oh I'd just move straight away if I had to move to Korea hahah. Wow that sounds so cool- 'if i HAD to move to Korea'. *dreamy look*

28. Do you give money to homeless people when they ask?
Only if it's really cold outside and if I'm in the mood for it.

29. A weekend in Las Vegas or Key West?
Las Vegas. Where is Key West?!

30. When you go to the store, do you have a list or just buy random things?

31. What do you wear to sleep in?
PJs and an extra jacket in winter!!!

Travel to see my parents, friends (wherever they are). Just everyone I love! Then... spend all my money on yummy food. And adopt lots of cats. Oh and I don't want anyone to be around when I'm dying.

Eat, hug cats, sleep, space. Basically TIME ALONE (cats excepted).

Oh loads. I want thinner arms, legs, face, waist; less broad shoulders, smaller tummy. And I'd love to be 7cm taller too. :)

36. You wake up in an unfamiliar place, what is your first reaction?
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I hate things I don't know!

37. Is there anything that you should be doing right now?
Work. Which is the reason I started this in the first place. But I'm getting really drowsy and feeling slightly shitty from this lol... possibly due to the morbidity of some of the questions.

38. If there was a way to know when and how you're going to die, would you like to find out?
.....See? No, definitely not!

39. What is your favorite breakfast food?
Anything, if I'm even up for breakfast at all!

What else is there?

So... I'm back in London. Feels weird to be back. I've gotten too used to the life in hk after just 2 weeks! This is the (only) problem with holidays. Sigh.. so much to do here, I don't know where to start. So I just sleep :P This is my last few months of uni and I really want to make the best of it: hang out with my friends more (i.e. stop neglecting them/being lazy/both), many of which I may not see again; explore London, in case I don't get to work here after I graduate; work hard so I'll have no regrets later!!! (this really should've been put first)

My holiday was... something I can't describe in words. So many memories that are truly precious to me. One of the best times I've ever had :) I miss the chilling, the laughing, the weird moments. The feeling when you're having so much fun doing nothing at all, and wanting to stay like that for as long as possible. Right now I feel something I don't think I've encountered before. It's different, yet comforting. Surreal, yet sincere. Subtle, yet powerful.

Time seemed to pass really slowly today. Will it be like this for the next 6 months?

How long is 6 months, really?

All my world in one grain of sand....


Saturday, November 15, 2008

Ooops i totally forgot to update this! been sleeping most of the week, and during the times i was 'awake' i was actually half-asleep anyway. sighh i sound like such a lazy good for nothing! which i am anyway....

so here's my 'progress' (why is it called that anyway? what if you haven't progressed?) so far:

work- haven't done any AT ALL!!! well i did update my CV last night.. but that kinda defeats the purpose if i'm gonna fail my exams and not get a degree...

exercise- i actually started off pretty well.. last week i exercised 4 times! then i got sick with the flu and haven't exercised all week... too weak/lazy/tired etc. but maybe that's just an excuse.

food consumption- umm... this is the part i was dreading to come to. i've just been eating like i usually do, i.e. A LOT... today i had instant noodles, kimchi, a banana, sushi, japanese curry with rice, shortbread biscuits... that's not a lot is it??? :S

i really need to be more serious about this!!!!
