Update - Aug '15

So!

My blog is so dead that I really cannot be bothered to update those photos and happenings a year ago anymore. It'll take me really long! Actually no, I still feel like updating those backdated photos, but I'm just plain lazy and most of it I don't think I can really recall what happened? 😰

Maybe I'll just update as and when I feel like it but still blog about recent happenings instead of waiting for those backdated post to be up to date. 😅

Some changes in my life recently......

I ended my last retail job in March and started a new career path in April!

I've finally switched to office job after being in retail for 7 years!! Wow. I didn't realised it has been so long already. 😳 In fact, I've been wanting to get out of retail line ever since I left Bugis Street cus I kind of realised that I'm really not the "sales" kind of person? Okay, I know, took me quite long to wake up but better than not sensing it at all. 😓

So currently, I'm lovin' my new job! Not really new actually, been with that company for about 4 months. I find the company's culture alright for me too.. So everything's going quite well. I also super love that I can leave 5:30pm sharp everyday!! Yay!! ✌️

Before taking up this job opportunity, I was in a struggle.

I didn't know what I want in my life and for my future. I think for 'bout a month on what I really want to do and suddenly I felt like "hey, I want to learn make up and be a make up artist!!" I started looking for courses and comparing few make up schools and I paused after I saw the price for the courses. 😳 I asked my friends whom I found that they actually graduated from the make up school which I was interested in and the informations they gave me was even more shocking cus the course fee was not the end, they still got to buy the school's own cosmetics and tools! Total they spent was double of the course fee stated on the website.

After hearing those feedbacks from 'em, I was hesitant as I know I couldn't afford the course fee w/o a full time job at that point of time. Which was what made me went for the interview at my current workplace! I told the them honestly that the reason why I'm switching line is cus I want more time for myself so that I can go take up make up courses which is what I would love to do. Haha surprised I still got the job, most likely it's due to the person who recommended me. 😁

Now that I'm enjoying my current job, I'm not sure if I am still going to sign up for the make up course. 😂

Another thing which happened lately, like since end of June, is that I'm finally trying hard to lose weight. 😅

I've always been fat. From Primary 3, I started gaining weight until I reached Secondary 2. I had my "first love" that time and I was obsessed with him, but I guess he's not really serious about me and we broke up not long after. After which I started dieting and lost 10kg in a very short time. Thanks to him huh.. 😏 After losing that 10kg, I kind of maintained that weight for a few years and then I dropped another 3kg? Which is the lightest and slimmest period of my life but still not the skinny kind of slim, still chubby but not fat FAT. Get it?

After that, I started my r/s with Mr. Benny Cheong and I must say, my diet changed completely after we got together. I started taking a lot of carbs everyday and my appetite became really huge? We also have supper VERY frequently, actually it's almost every single day. 😓

Needless to say, my weight went up, up, up. Just within 1 year, I gained 10kg. No joke. It didn't take me long to gained back to what I used to weigh before Sec 2.

It didn't stop there though...

The weighing scale in my house has been out of battery for a very long time and so I didn't weigh myself for the longest time until my Sis decided to get the battery replaced and I stepped up onto the weighing scale with the shock of my life. 🙀

My weight has hit a new high score. 😭

Even after I knew my weight has went up to it's highest point in my 23 years of life, it didn't stopped me from eating. I still continued to eat as per normal, my ayam penyet, nasi padang, mala fragrance hotpot, mookata, etc etc... I just cannot stop myself from eating all those SUPER yummy and oily food.

So! What really triggered me to want to shed some fats recently is the upcoming Tokyo trip next month. 😂

It is going to be my first time in Tokyo and I want my photos to turn out nice! I don't want fat me in photos!! 😭

Haha lame I know, but that is really what gave me motivations and kept me determined! 💪

Currently, after about, hmmm say 1.5 months? of trying my best to lose some weight, I have dropped about 5kg which is totally not enough yet but I will continue trying!

I hope I won't gain all that back with my long awaited Bangkok trip next week! 😅

Good night!
