I do not what happened to 2013. Why is the year passing by so quickly?? We are now into December 2013 and I'm quite sure I'll be attending count-down gatherings very soon. Then it'll be 2014, then I'll be turning a quarter of a century years old. Gosh.
Scary how fast you go through the 20s so quickly. Your 20s is like the bullet train period, for most people lah. You graduate, you find your first job, you buy your first house, you get married, you have kids, etc. etc. So many responsibilities to handle in your 20s.
My mind is always about these. Aiyoh. I think that's why I have acne flares so late lah. I'm so stressed about everything!
ANYWAY, I got to recommend the below curry noodles to everyone that I know. It is SO NICE. I went to Chan Brothers to get my Taiwan travel visa done and Kengyang and his parents brought me to this magical place (Hong Lim Complex!) for breakfast.
W.O.W. I don't fancy curry mee very much, especially those with yellow noodles. I detest yellow noodles. But the thick beehoon version was so nice and soooooo smoooooooth. It's quite pricey for hawker food (S$5/S$7) but the S$5 bowl was a mega huge serving and the uncle's generous with his portioning.
TWO THUMBS UP.
Kengyang also brought me to this porridge place at Bukit Merah (Ye Shang Hai Porridge) and it was extremely affordable and very yummers.
Yes, Kengyang's family eats out a lot so they know where the good eats are. Yay for me. HAHA.
Anyway, we paid S$6.20 (!!) for what we ordered. We realised we didn't have meat so we ordered a small portion of duck from the duck rice stall and that plate cost as much as our entire porridge meal (S$6). Haiyoh.
Finally tried the Royal Pudding from Paris Baguette Cafe. This is not cheap at all - S$4.50 for a tiny portion. But the container is cute, can be reused and mom paid for it, so of course must try. I got the Mango Royal Pudding and wow now I know why people are raving about it.
More Yankee Candle for December! My room smells foul whenever there's no ventilation (strange, maybe there's a dead bug somewhere), so burning candles is a life-saving routine.
I was really upset last Monday and overall I wasn't feeling in the mood to do anything. It was the usual PMS mood swing and it was worse than ever. Miss Lirong was so sweet and when I met her to pass her her Taobao purchase, she gave me a stalk of sunflower and a hand-written note to cheer up. :') This girl is very precious.
-Insert random photo here heehee- I like the necklace so yay!
OKAY. We have come to the most important part of November 2013.
I started on this 30 Day Squat Challenge after seeing it on Instagram. Today is Day 12 for me and it's rest day (Thank God). I have been religiously following the routine and I gotta be honest, it hurts, hurts like hell.
However, the results have been quite positive. I did squats everyday + 1-min planks and then my jogging routine every other day, and I have lost some centimetres!!!! So exciting!!
My weight has increased though but I'm quite sure that's the additional muscles' contributions. As of last night, I have lost 1.5cm off each calf, 1.5cm off each thigh, 2cm off my waist and 4cm off my hips. WTF?!?! Got so lihai or not?? That's after 11 days only le!!
I'm so impressed with the results and I'm DEFINITELY going to continue this routine. I must admit though, planks are so much more difficult to do than squats. But yay, centimetres lost = always a good thing! :D
Now, let's face December 2013 bravely! I'm traveling to Taiwan from 20-27 December 2013 (thanks Kengyang's parents!!) and I'm stoked!! :D
