A post a week!

So sorry about the recent "dead" blog... I just couldn't find some time to write my blog now that I have to stay back for tennis and diploma plus and Spanish. :X Whoops! So... I'm thinking... perhaps I should post once a week? And it will be about something I learnt about that week etc. Quotes or inspirational thoughts.

But what happens to my "diet blog"? I will continue that as well but I will no longer post pictures of what I ate. What I will be doing is to dedicate a short paragraph to say if I progressed or not. Tadah! Simple as that! I mean it's also hard on you guys to read and see what I ate right? Stomach growling~ ;)

Anyways... I shall end off with a simple sentence from my friend!

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are.

How you interpret it depends on yourself! But thanks to this, I no longer feel that I have to be skinny to boost my self-esteem and confidence. So... see you all next Sunday! 

Cheers, Ting

p.s. it's raining! The best weather to stay home and sip some coffee.

Day 33

Saturday. A day for me to study and complete my homework for the week. I'm still trying to make myself complete the homework for the day though... so that I would have more time to revise on Saturdays. And my usual spot of studying? Jurong Regional Library. Awesome place I tell you.

Breakfast

After studying it's time for a break! Went for a late lunch with Kai Wen and Si Xian at Jcube. Forgot to take photos of what I ate... Anyway I drank beancurd barley soup with ginko nuts, or some hot desserts with barley and ginko nuts. I also had a few mouth of ice cream from both Kw and Sx. Yummy! Then we visited the pet shop near the coffee shop. Look at all the adorable babies!!! See how that hamster sleeps? I was literally squealing when I saw this too-cute-for-words scene. And that bunny! Looks like it tripped off it's basket and fainted. Haha!!

Anyway to those who wonder why I take so many picture of what I ate. This is not a food blog! It's just my way of tracking my diet throughout my journey. Hope you guys enjoy what you see though~ Am I hearing stomach growling? xD Well I'm off to do my stuff! See ya all!

Cheers, Ting

Day 31 & 32 (Bento day!)

Day 31

Day 31 and 32 is my bento day. Really love the idea of bringing my own food to school (usually home-cooked by my mom). I mean I don't have to spend a single cent bringing my bento and I can track how much I eat much more easily. Gotta love my bento box, which was from Daiso! 

Anyway nothing much to update about. School started and I was pretty busy. Had to settle myself and set my goals right for a new semester and a new year! 

So far my goal for the holiday was to reach 50kg by April and I have been consistently checking on my weight. On different scale, which gives me different reading. My own weighing machine it shows 50 but I don't trust it. It's kinda rusty? The pointer doesn't point back to zero... I weighed myself in gym too which shows 51~52 but it's because I have my shoes on. Opps! Too lazy to take off my shoes! 

So this week I'm planning to double confirm my weight at Si Xian's house. Maybe I should really invest in one digital weighing machine... 

Shall update soon! Ciaos.

Cheers, Ting

Day 29 & 30

Day 29

Tuesday is quite a good day I suppose? But it made me realise something: I'm lacking a lot in terms of my tennis skills. The techniques, basics, footwork and body stance. All not up to standard... Of course I will be sad and frustrated but what can I do? One thing I know for sure that I can do is to work harder and train more. And that's what I'm going to do. I really want to enter the school team, not as a reserve but as a main player. Our captain has announced the main players, and I'm not one of them. Expected but... there's still a few more months before POLITE and I want to at least be a reserve who can at least play.

Not going to say a lot about what I ate on Tuesday but I did workout a lot. Gym + tennis training and physical training. But I'm willing to do it. Time to hit more balls!! 

made by Salihah! <3

Day 30

Wednesday is quite slack I would say. Why? Tutorials are cancelled and there's only lecture from 11 to 1 pm. So all I did was to come down for a very dry lecture. Seriously this semester is going to be tough for me. Not because the modules are hard but because they are so boring that I don't feel like studying them at all... 

Anyway what to say? Nothing! Haha.. basically school started and everyday I have are lessons. I guess I will only post about something really special! If there's any. So that's all for this post! ~

Cheers, Ting

I love tennis and I will work hard for it!

Tofu dangos!

Day 27 & 28

Day 27

Sunday, I went to visit my ancestors to 扫墓; which literally means "clean the tomb". Of course this time, I'm only visiting their ashes. Was supposed to wake up early to help out mom prepare the food, but oh well you guys should know what happened instead. I slept fully before I woke up. 

The whole day I ate the same food, which was the ones prepared for my ancestors. That's all for Sunday I suppose... 

Breakfast

Lunch

Dinner

Day 28

Monday. First day of school! I had lab session first and it was so boring.... but at least my lab teacher is humorous and made the lab session fun. Then I had another lab again in the afternoon. And it was even more dry and boring. Oh gosh... how am I going to live through this semester? 

Anyway as you scroll down the page, you will realise I ate a lot of pastries and fried stuff. I didn't realise it though! Good to take down the pictures because you will really overeat... 

After school, I went to visit a little black cat in a pet shop with Kai Wen, Si Xian and Emelia. It's the cat we accidentally found during one of our explorations on Saturday (during the stayover at Amanda's house). The little black cat is a sweetie I swear. Little Kendra is just so hyperactive and adorable. Anyway I'm getting lazier to post my blog... Not really lazy but more of "no time". Heh! So sorry readers! But I'm still glad you people are still willing to read my blog! 

School will certainly be hectic for me! But I know I will have to and must survive through it. See you all later!

Cheers, Ting

p.s. I will take a nice photo of Kendra to show you all when I visit her again!

Lunch

Day 25 & 26

Day 25

Day 25 and 26 is really an awesome day that I really let myself enjoy as much as possible. Well, it is also the last week of holiday for me to spend more time with my friends. I certainly did not regret a single thing spent during these two days. Morning is pretty simple; a rice cracker and chilled hotdogs. Yes, chilled because I was too lazy to heat it up. Afternoon I went to meet up with Emelia and Amanda to buy some groceries and of course, wine. At night we ate a very satisfying amount of meat and kimchi in a hotpot. Burps! After walking around the neighborhood to "exercise" a bit, we went back to drink some wine. Yay~

The wine is really really nice and the feeling of being tipsy but not drunk is pleasant. Once in a while is fine but not always though! We only manage to finish two bottles of wine (shown below) as we couldn't take it anymore. I was the first to down; after giggling and laughing hysterically at nothing. But overall it's an awesome stay-over at Amanda's house.

Breakfast

Ondeh ondeh

Lunch

Korean rice wine (this is superb!)

Kimchi

A family of alcohols!

The most normal photo taken when I was super hyper and tipsy.

Day 26

The next day I woke up with no hangover (thankfully). I didn't even know that I fell asleep the moment my head touched the bed. Morning started with a cup of coffee and mash potato. I also had a bite of Amanda's cake. Om nom nom nom! After that we went to explore around Clementi and found a pet shop and was attracted by a little black kitten, Kendra. She was a stray and the shop owner adopted it. Kendra is really really hyperactive and yet gentle. Really felt attracted to her and we (Emelia, Amanda and I) decided to come back visit the cat again. 

Anyway that's all I have to say. The rest of the day was just spent talking to each other and girls' stuff. You people won't want to know it anyway. So see ya all in the other posts! 

Cheers, Ting
