Thank You 2013

So the year is coming to an end. And I'd like to say a few words..(Chey sounds like an awards show LOL!!)

Back to Earth, I just want to thank, Candice Swanepoel ( I bet you're like, "yeah totally saw that coming girl! NEXT!"), for like being a guiding star! Like honestly, whenever I'm in doubt, I'd ask myself " What would Candice do?" or "What would Candice say?" HAHAHAHA!! SO yeah, that saved me from making a lot of huge mistakes that I'll regret for life. This I think only Iggy, Zihui, Fanggy and my Mom would understand what I meant.
And for keeping up my motivation to exercise. I've never been this motivated to keep up with exercising for this long and I still am! Motivated now because of her. Whenever I feel like giving up, I think of Candice and what she would say or do and that keeps my spirits up. So yes, thank you for being a great role model for me Candice.

I also want to thank my Mom for putting up with all my teasings and my sometimes irresponsible self. For always forgiving me when I make her angry. And also for listening to my Candice Niang Niang stories hahahha! (LOL, inside joke that only a few knows)

Thank you the Slutz for always being there for me and putting effort to keep or friendship going. Everyone's coorperation is so important. Thanks for keeping me grounded, reminding me of who I am even when y'all don't know it.
Thank you Zihui especially for listening to all my rants and fitness problems lol and other umm guys problems and also encouraging me on my journey to be more active in exercising.
Thank you Iggy, Gabriel and Karen for giving me advice, well sort of, and sort of waking me up from my crazy crushes LOL!
Thank you Rita and Wan'er for making the period at the end of the year super fun! Finally hangout with you guys more now that you're in Uni!

Thank you Xinfang and Zihui for always listening to my umm stupid-crushes-stories, helping me get ready for social night, that was super nerve wrecking uh! I gained so much intern weight and the shipyard really gave me bad complexion. I was a mess! And also Xinfang for helping me with my school work. Actually, you girls help me with every problem I have under the Sun. LOL. Suddenly I sound like I have a lot of problems :P

Thank you Maryanne for putting up with my carelessness, I know I can be a jerk like I mix up our plans and everything. I will do better. And most importantly, thanks for being brave enough to tell me my flaws straight in my face even if it stings, and sharing with me all your beauty tips and secrets and the cool apps and items and deals you found out.

Thank you my Keppel Kids for going through thick and thin together, I will never forget the joy we created in the midst of some of the most horribly boring days LOL. 5 months doing the same routine is no joke. I can't imagine how people do it for years. The "Offenders will be Fine" joke. And the best life lesson we took back "Life isn't always easy". motivational poster. Thank you guys for making my poly classroom, class-life everything, THE BEST. If I got a chance to go back in time and have the choice be in a different course of study, I'd still do the same. Thanks to you guys I feel really lucky.

Thank you KCH for always being there to keep my day going with all our random daily conversations, especially throughout the period after my intern. Love you guys!

Thank you Ray, Matt, Eugene and Jin Wei for being the best BBQ Buddies!

Thank you Joyce, Nurul, Ashley and Eve for taking good care of me while I was working at VS. Joyce for always looking out for me, making sure I won't get bullied. Nurul for taking care of me while I was posted to MBS branch for awhile and encouraged me when I did well. Also for helping me get my cheque when I was inconvenienced due to my school commitments. Ashley for just taking on the role of a Mother. Eve for making sure I could get used to the culture, especially on my first few days of work.

Thank you 2013 for being so eventful albeit shitty at times LOL, like when I gained a ridiculous amount of weight. There must be a reason why this year felt like it's gone in a flash, LITERALLY, I could still remember myself lying sick on the sofa for 2012-2013 New Year's celebration, being sponged by Zihui like it was yesterday.
For some reason, a lot of this year's highlights are pretty much still fresh in my mind. So yeah, I guess the easiest answer is that this year was a great year. Let 2014 be an equally great, if not greater, year! :D

Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It's just approx 30 mins past midnight :) Came back from a day of last minute shopping with Maryanne and Anthony for Nicholas' (Maryanne's boyfriend) present. Walked all of Orchard Road again! Last night's mission was quite fail but at least Anthony found his girlfriend's gift. :D

Then I went for some ice skating with my little cousins! It's kinda becoming a tradition to ice skate with them. They seem to be the only people in my life who are enthusiastic enough to want to skate with me and enjoy it as much as myself. That is, besides Abbey and Eileen and Zamzam. But Eileen's attached and she and Zamzam get into quarrels so suddenly so it's a bit unpredictable and hard to plan an ice skating meet up with them. Most of the times they're also busy. Oh well.

Anyway, after ice skating, had a nice dinner with the big family and here I am, home with my feet so sore it feels like I'm walking without any flesh. YUCKS, but I kinda like it haha! Felt like I worked hard, and am still contemplating about whether to get Kayla's book. Cuz now I'm even more tight on cash since I need to save up for my graduation trip to Seoul with my class! 

Just a thought: Was thinking the other day, what would be the must do activity on my to-do list if I ever get to go to New York to study/work/stay they for a year or more? Besides meeting Candice hehe! It's ofcourse to get Justin Gelband to be my trainer MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Probably gonna burn a hole in my pocket, but I'm willing to let it burn :p

Yay received my new Nike Free Run 3.0! Haha! It's the same colour but 1 size up!

Was lucky enough to find a Carouseller who had the right size. Initially when I bought from Gmarket it it only had like the just nice fitting size, which was my regular flats size 39. But for my sports shoes only I usually wear size 40, at least for Nike shoes. So yup!

And I realized one of the review was right, the Gmarket one indeed was an imitation! I did some "investigation" and observation lol, and turns out it was truly fake. >.< But it was like really well made imitation lol. To think I ran so many miles with that lousy shit hahah!

Anw, I'm happy cuz now I can use that lousy shoe to protect my feet when I jump rope at home YAY! No more smacking my nail-less second toe! Yay to less painful jump roping! ^^

HIIT Sprints

Okay so I haven't been running since 4th Dec?
Illumi Run didn't count cuz it was more like Illumi WALK??? Everyone was literally walking and blocking the way WTF.

And there was CTs too. So yea today I decided to try something new, what my brother, Maryanne and Eugene had been telling me to do, even Iggy! Which was to do the interval training shit, my brother said to sprint 100m and rest for a few secs then then sprint 100m by 100m round the 800m track beside my house once. So yea I did!

ANDDD..

IT WAS FUCKING KILLING ME!!! Like WTF! Okay I think I probably need to do it for like longer? Say 10-20 mins? Cuz honestly my legs weren't tired or feeling strained at all, maybe cuz I've rested my body for a week, but my heart was really BURSTING LAH! After that 1 round I was literally cursing "FML FML FML FML!!!" and then i just ran 1 more round without the intervals and went home to do my other workouts. I AM NEVER DOING THIS SHIT WTF, made me hate running even more =.=

Yay! Ran 5k this morning! Probably my last 5k before Illumi Run this weekend. It's my best timing yet! Somehow though I can't imagine myself running during the Illumi Run lol.

Suddenly realise that A LOT of people are into running LIKE HELLO?? YOU MAD? LOL Idk, I mean I don't hate it, but it's not something I'd LOVE hahaha! It's so hard to love it despite being consistent for more than a month now :( I'd choose swimming over running any day.

Which reminds me, I really need to get a swimming cap. Damn, I really should make that hairspray hahaha! Then I can earn the big bucks and at the same time not wear anymore swimming caps!

Hello December

Hello December. I bet you'll go by real quickly, its the same every year. December will end in a flash. Please be good to me this end of the year, I hope I can look a teeny bit better :( Ahh can't wait to stream the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Live, Illumi Run and the end of CTs! Then I can finally watch rest of the episodes for The Heirs! :D AHHHH! Love Lee Minho so much! I kept asking my Mom if she could Fedex Lee Minho for me LOL.
