after my usual blog-browsing, i realised something i have in common with some friends.
"slim down" "lose weight" "excercise"
all reminescent of one thing a girl cares a lot about - weight.

for me, it's being my wish to slim down ever since after primary 2 where i ballooned overnight. yeah i mean it in the literal sense.
and facing weight issues during primary 5 where one teacher even wrote in my report book that i needed to lose some weight shattered my confidence about my appearance.

despite my weight going on the downhill in recent years and the slight gain in confidence regarding weight not being everything, those terrorizing weight loss ads and the current trend of stick-thin girls being considered pretty, the inferiority complex still remains no matter how much i tell myself that i'm a fortunate girl with a complete family and a healthy body.
but no matter how hard the going, i'm a firm believer in losing weight the healthy way.

NO skipping meals
NO overexcercising
NO medication/pills/chemicals

just the plain old "eat less and excercise more".
it actually works, keeping it up is the tough thing. for about a month, i kept up a diet comprising healthy food and regular excercise.
haha of course since singapore is a haven for food lovers, and me being a fellow food lover, my healthy food regime has been discontinued.
i still go swimming every week. (at least once a week, 20 laps)
and i can tell you that it's a great feeling to excercise, rather it refreshes your body even after a very tired/stressful day.

so fellows, you can't attribute tiredness to your not excercising anymore.
don't give in to the "slacker" attitude.

ok actually i don't intend to blog about this at all.
ah i sure can nag a lot, given the right topic. :)

yesterday was a good day. :)

had the honour of viewing chin in her first photoshoot.
she was rather stiff and hilarious with her unnatural smile, but she certainly has the makings of a model. her figure is good. minus the stubborn baby fats, her face with the big eyes will be good too.
quoting adrian, "supermodel leh". lol.

then we rushed to great world to meet our beloved friend zhuang who we've been missing for exactly one year! along with eleanor and becky.
was exciting to go clubbing at zouk with them because it was their first time.
and especially we thought we would get to witness becky's dancing but alas, she remained immobile while everyone sashayed on the dance floor. talk about withstanding peer pressure. lol.

today the girl councillors went ginny's house to do id tags.
and janey's back from redang!
i bet i'll be hearing more of her exciting adventures very soon.
me and jane don't exactly click with the others. you know, they are nice people but we're not on the same frequency.
today went well though so i'm quite happy. :)
and our id tags are so pretty.
can't wait for union camp.
