GYM

Sometimes, pple would exclaim "So slim already still going gym?!",
"so slim still exercise..."

hmmm...i just feel stupid for them lor...if everyone can remain slim & look great and yet dun need to exercise, who would wan to do such tiring "chores"??? If i can eat whatever things i wan and still remain the current weight...why would i wan to go exercise religiously...no reasons rite?

Not that i am critising those pple who make such remarks to me.. but have they ever tink? Its just toning and keeping my weight down..whats wrong with it...just because they dun go exercise doesnt mean that they have to make such ignorant remarks...

I am not those petite gals, borned to be lucky type who dun need to do a single exercise and yet remain the same...

I still remember when i just started out work... i weighed 65kg at the peak... was not happy with myself at all... my self esteem was also not high... i never imagined myself to find a bf at that time at all...

It was until i was introduced to gym at cali... happened to meet a personal trainer who gave me pointers, teach me how to use weights training to speed up the toning process... i started to see results...

It was indeed a very fruitful one.. i lose 13kg within 4-6months...

of coz..i worked hard...running, cycling, weights trainings...whatever equipment u see in gym, u name it, i have tried most of them

Now i am happily at my ideal range... and still working hard at the gym... not because i wan to lose further weight (oh well...if i can lose 1-2kg more..i dun mind...haha), but because i wan to tone myself and maintain the current state... i dun wan my effort to be running down the drain...

imagine the pain i felt last time...after exercising, the next day i would feel the muscle aching ...even if i laugh, i felt the ache!

And i am not joking...even when i walk, every muscle is screaming....

anyway... no gals are happy with the way they are...although they can say that they are...trust me..no one is...there is always some flabby area where they wan to improve...no such thing as a perfect body... even if u ask me now..i would say i want to tone my arms and abs further....and the list run long...

hmmm.....what to do...WOMAN ARE LIKE THIS

Bad Hair Day

so frustrated with my new hair... got to style got to comb nicely... i really exploded yesterday! so hard to comb... really feel so tired and irritated...

by this time i was sighing so loudly that ben came into the toilet to see what had happened... =(

When i saw him coming in...i feel even more irritated!!! the thought of being late make me even more frustrated... hai... blame me for waking up late lor...

But... i feel someone heartpain lor... keke... okok... i calm myself down...

ok...my new hair resolution... wake up earlier... try to comb whatever i can.. in the limited time... no more complaints

New hair!!

Had my first haircut this year! cant imagine not going to the salon to pamper urself with those highlights, treatment and cutting right..

i had been bearing with all these since beginning of this year... why? coz i need to keep my hair long enough to be style on my big day..

Now that it is over, I went all out to change a new hair style.. I was flippling thru the latest issue of CLEO.. wah! how i envy the gals with curly bouncy hair... realli wanted to try out the feeling of perming my hair again..

of coz i didnt forget the very first time i perm my hair 4 years ago... i was still in nomura then... i remembered very clearly after perming my long straight hair... (i was too bored tt time..wanted to do something different..) i met up with my colleagues at HMV marche...

the moment Ben saw me..he broke into laughter.... saying tt why i spent my time doing this horrible hair... i will never forget the laugh! hmph!

now...ben become my husband lor... he is the one who encourage me to go perm my hair again... i was very hesitant...shld i shld i not... hmmm...

just go for it lar! my heart told me to do it...

went to Monsoon at hougang mall... well.. at that point of time i was still thinking...shld i just cut my hair anot...

then... was introduce to the hair stylist Peter.

I spent 5 whole hours for this whole perming process!!! cannot imagine...sitting there dozing off.. WORST part is... Ben sat beside me patiently for the whole 5 hours... well..touching ah... *grins*

I am very happy with the new hair!! yeah!
