Today (ok, yesterday) pretty much was a stuffed-to-the-max day.
Maybe the diet's shrinking my appetite because no way two bananas and one glass of milk can fill me up like that on normal days!
I think I actually prefer bananas to the ghastly watermelon day because at least on Day 4 I can drink as much ABC soup as I want!
Anyways, popped over to Tesco to try and get more rabbit food *ahem* I mean carrots and tomatoes and the like... but I think a swarm of hungry aunties must've descended on Tesco before we even got there because the veggie display was practically empty! *sigh*
Met Joa and May in the aisles and I almost couldn't recognize May for a while! Lolz~! I guess that's how long I haven't seen you. Oh well, when my diet's over we're going for a healthy dinner together, ya? Japanese sound healthy enough? *grinz in anticipation*
Ok, time to pop over to Cold Storage for somemore foodstuffs. I think this diet is pretty exxy. Or maybe its because we're very picky veggie-eaters and the veggies we usually eat are only available in the organic variety. Yeesh!

Twitter-ing away...
Ok, I've fallen prey to the latest app fad, Twitter!
It's so much easier than blogging though the setback is that its really limited.
Still... easier to keep in touch eh? :D

Day Three: A Little Better
Ok, I know it's only about 9.45 pm but technially the day is over.
So here's how today went.
Went to Japanese class without brekkie because I wasn't keen on having warm watermelon so I was so tired and dizzy during class its a wonder I could answer at all. Of course my Japanese seems to be getting worse but hey....that's what happens when you miss 4 classes!!
Anyways, the bombshell is that next week is the last class... after which its revision week and then *gulp* exams. I think I'm going to fail pretty badly but this diet is making me very lethargic and that seems to be slowing my brain capacity.
Anyways, the fruit and veggie combi isn't all that bad although I am 100% certain I was born to be a carnivor. It's HELL having ONLY fruits and veggies!!
I still haven't broken and I will try and do this to the end!! Off to get me mango and grapes now! :)
Ps: I want Marie Digby's "Breathing Underwater" album!!!!!

Day Two: Horrible, Terrible and lots and LOTS of vegetables
*sigh*
I should have blogged yesterday but a carnivor living on a steady diet of only veggies gets lethargic really easily.
So yeah, I zonked out quite early yesterday.
So, I survived yet another day without breaking the diet. Already feeling the constant call of rice and meat so it was really really hard to stay on the diet. Especially when fate is being a bitch.
On normal days, I get to pretty much settle my own dinners. Now, when I am on a diet, suddenly people remember me and want to have DINNER. *sobz*
I'd like to go for a proper dinner but hey...I promised I'd stick it out.
So I went to bed knowing I am full but feeling totally unsatisfied.
We shall see how today, all veggie and fruits day, works out.
*tummy growls*

Day One: Absolute Torture
*tummy groans*
Today, has been a day of absolute and complete torture.
I can't even believe I actually didn't crack...not one teensy tiny weeny bit.
I was tempted...oh yes I was!
But I am proud to say I didn't even cheat.
*tummy growls in response*
Anyways, this is the first day of the week long diet that was brought to my attention by a very good friend (fellow sufferer actually). Apparently it really worked for a mutual friend of ours...so much so that when I saw a picture of said friend I did NOT recognize him. At all.
So anyways, Day One calls for a day where one has to eat fruits. And ONLY fruits. Supposedly melons are best. So my fellow sufferer and I bought two watermelons (for today and another diet day).
It was GHASTLY to say the least. I will NEVER be able to look a watermelon in the face again...or at least for a long long long time. And I used to LOVE watermelon. *makes a face*
The watermelons we bought we....horrid. A little sourish...tasted earthy *urk* and was really very hard to swallow. Imagine a day of eating ONLY that. Not only did my tummy feel abused, its constant reminders are VERY hard to ignore.
In any case, I survived. And I did NOT cheat at all. Even though I was sorely tempted. *sigh* I am actually really looking forward to tomorrow because tomorrow....is ALL VEGGIE DAY!!
At least cooked veggie would be more filling and tasty than watermelon...right?? We shall have to see. :)

Wow....
Last night at Tenji@Solaris, Mont Kiara was the most FUN I've had in a long long LONG time!
Minus the missed chance to see a certain someone take on the Super Spicy Ramen challenge...the food and company was really really interesting and I haven't laughed like that in so long.
The food was pretty ok and the selection was big though not as crazy huge as Saisaki!
The night started off....a bit oddly since I didn't (and still do not) know one of the people present at this very small gathering. Not to mention not really knowing the birthday boy which makes it odd that I was invited. :S
And of course, we get lost. LOLz~! After ending up at some area that looks vaguely like Mont Kiara (not a single one of us have ever been to Solaris) we had to ask directions from a strange old man with an excellent memory albeit a roundabout way of explaining it. After finally getting to Solaris (which is pretty awesome and has really cool quiet pubs) we get into Tenji for....a really filling buffet dinner.
(what we all had...and what I can remember!)
First Course:
Tamago (egg), sushi, inari, abalone, honey pumpkin, giant fresh oysters, scallops, a giant plate of Haagen Dazs (shared la!) and...really really fresh SASHIMI~!!!!
(already feeling ultra-stuffed)
Second Course:
Amori Beef (grilled beef with enoki mushrooms), crunchy honey fried something (lolz!), fresh Thai coconut, fresh steamed cod fish, super spicy ramen, tempura prawns, grilled mushrooms, chawan mushi, grilled beef, soft roll, some grilled stuff on a stick, HUGE chili crabs and lamb cutlets.
FINAL Course:
Marshmallows and pavlova dipped in delicious melted chocolate, tiraimisu, a LOT of cakes and some jelly.
The drink selection is really crazy but the cocktail tubes are worth trying out! Not too much though or you'll find yourself unable to walk. Lolz~!
All that (and lots lots LOTS more) is worth less than Rm 50!! Pretty affordable and yummy Japanese buffet. Lolz~!
Now anyone up for drinks at Solaris? ;)
Ps: Thanks Carmen, Li Ren, Kenneth (Happy Birthday!), LY, Phuah (for driving us LoLz~!) and a guy-whose-name-I-don't-know!! It was an awesome night. Thanks for the laughs and for making me feel like one of you guys. :)

Time Flies...
A week has passed....my personal deadline is up and I am still clueless.
I honestly don't know what I want from life. Today is the first time I am consciously going for something that is supposed to "expand my social circle". Apprehensive?
You BET!
So strange that I seem to be unable to function in social situations. Perhaps it really is true, at heart I am a loner. Or maybe its just that demon of low-self esteem whispering in my ear.
I've decided to start a resolutions list.... one I will keep adding to and ticking off. All the things (sometimes so simple I can't believe I haven't done it!) I've always wanted to do. :)
LIST OF STUFF TO DO:
1) Cook a three dish meal
2) Take belly dancing classes
3) Take a short baking course
4) Save moolah for trip to L.A. Xmas 2009!
5) Go Genting with my girls
6) Go Macau with mom
7) Buy a maxi dress (or a coloured top)
8) Watch a musical LIVE!
9) Do a Candy Photography session!
10) Take up Yoga again
11) Buy a new swimsuit
12) Go try out the Korean restaurant in Sec 14 (been meaning to do this since Year One!!!)
13) Go shopping in Bangkok
14) Try and take at least one good photo a day for Deviantart!
That's all I have for now... :)

Oh yeah
Mm
Still don’t know what I was lookin for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I’d got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I’ve never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I’m much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don’t want to be a richer one
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different one
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
They're immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don’t tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Where’s your shame
You’ve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can’t trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah changes are taking the pace I’m going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock ’n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you’re gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can’t trace time
