I am that  close to downing that bar of TimeOut right now and I have decided to resist the temptation. 😎 I refer to one of my older posts where I shared some of the workout routines I usually do. Well, times have changed and so have my workouts. In the last 2 weeks, my teeter (literally) dragged me to the pool. I told her: " Your happiness is my misery, " because I'm a horrible swimmer but she's just the opposite. Nonetheless, I swam a good 10 laps in 30 minutes with a lot of short breaks in between each lap. It was no surprise. Every 2.4km I had to run for NAPFA was sucking out every ounce of my breath and energy. 😪 Funny thing is if I could just jog leisurely, I can go on for a long time. Don't change the fact that I've poor stamina though. Ever since the teeter came back from her long-run in China, she said: " Mei, let's lose weight together. " I took this figuratively initially but I hadn't known she meant what she s...

Last Friday, I attended my wonder-woman's convocation ceremony at the Chjimes Hall and I am so proud to share the day with all of you today! The night before, teeter and I planned to head to town early because she needed to get proper  clothes for the event but she, unfortunately, had a con-call in the morning and we didn't leave house until 11ish. It wasn't long before she had to go off to meet a friend for lunch so Mama and I walked around looking for a place to eat at. As usual, we had a hard time deciding where to dine at and we finally settled at Domani, an Italian restaurant very conveniently located at Takashimaya Departmental Store.  Such a cheery looking menu cover! Actually makes me really happy looking at it. :-) Prices were reasonably ranged from $10 onwards to below $25. I consider those reasonable  considering the location + the quality (to come later on). They had a lunch promotion so I ordered a set lunch inclusive of a main, a soup-of-t...

Disclaimer: Long post ahead. I had to Google search adjectives starting with S  in order to come up with the title because I wanted to sound a bit more classy but I went with something simple and easily understood anyway (since that's the whole point of blogging to an unknown group of people - to be understood). Like the title suggests, today was pretty much a social  day for me. ☺ I woke up slightly past 10AM to a reminder from a colleague that I had to work this afternoon. I had absolutely no clue what she was talking about initially until I went through the conversation I had with my boss then I realized I agreed to relief a class of P5 Math from 12 to 2PM, which I did. Thank God I woke up in time. I haven't gone back to the Khatib branch in a long, long time so I wasn't sure if I was going to recognize the kids but all went well thankfully. I still remember the days I spent working at the counter, talking to all the parents and building rapport with the childr...

Greeting y'all with a selfie fresh after my haircut last week! ت I went back to bangs and also took 1-inch off the ends. And I've been receiving positive feedback ever since! My friends say I look different, younger and more innocent . My family, however, don't praise my appearance very much. In fact, they don't say anything whenever I change my hairstyle. ☹ That's that! With Monday coming to an end, I thought it'd be a good time to update this site a little before I plunge into completing a virtually never-ending list of items, which revolves around meeting deadlines and preparing for whatever upcoming (graded) assignments. Thankfully, it's the final week of school and as much as I'm nervous for the consecutive challenges , I can't wait for Friday to be over. ت There was literally  nothing much in school today. For the first time after 5 weeks, I met my group mates to think up a phenomenon to write a 5 page report on, which is...

Yes, I finally, finally  am willing to update the site on the last part of my vacation in Cardiff. ☺ 5 July 2013, Friday The siblings came to join us! ♥ Aunty Shyam and I waited close to an hour for them and I couldn't express how excited I was becoming with each minute passing. (I think everyone now knows I am extremely  close to my sister which explains why I couldn't wait to see her.) And when we finally reunited, I couldn't stop smiling! We drove home and it was almost lunch time. While Aunty Shyam and I were out waiting for the siblings, Aunty Su and Mama cooked lunch so there was literally a spread awaiting us when we got home. ☺ After that, we asked the brother what he would like to have for dinner. This being his virgin experience away from home, we had to make sure everything fell nicely into place (I say we treated him like a king ). Anyway, he said he felt like doing a BBQ and that was what we did! Everyone else went out to Asda to get whatever ingredient...
