Resisting Temptation

I'm so proud of myself last night. I did not give in to temptation like I normally does these days.

After watching movie "Get Smart" @ Vivo, we dropped Ming off. On the way home it's convenient for me to suggest to VV to have a drink @ Vila Bali. But I didn't.

Then another 'evil' thought striked. I almost wanted to ask her to grab a beer @ 7-Eleven @ her block void deck.

But I resisted yet again!

Bravo to my achievement! Bravo to a step closer to a healthier body, better figure. Bravo I saved at least S$10 from the beer!

Cheers!

Operation

On 5/9/07 - I'd an operation @ Gleneagles.
The night before I didnt sleep well. If you ask me if I was afraid, I wasnt exactly.
Was I worried? I was alittle. I was worried of complication. I was worried of what if....

On the other hand, I know I've to get it done as quickly as possible.
I cant sit & wait & hope it will heal by itself, it won't.

Dami didnt want to accompany me to the hospital initially when I told him about the op.
Maybe because of PMS, I got v emotional, I cried & cried & cried.
His reason was he has a flight to catch & therefore cant see me to the hospital.
And he argued that I said I'll arrange for my sis to accompany me.

But that was before I knew his flight is actually 12pm!
When I told him I need to be admitted @ 7.30am & surgery @ 10.30am, he didnt volunteer.
I told him is the thought that matters.

He called me the day before the op. He asked me how I am going to the hospital the next day.
I said: "Take bus, by myself lor".
By then my emotion has calmed down. It didnt matters anymore if he's going w me, of cos it'll be bonus if he did.

God grant me that bonus, he said it's so pathetic to check in on my own that he'll go w me.
So we took a cab there. On the 7th floor where the day wards are, there're 2 people seated @ the lobby. I went to pay the deposit & watched tv for awhile before the nurse called me in to get ready.

Kissed Dami goodbye, I started the journey alone. I was thinking how am I going to pass this 2 hrs....(8.30-10.30am) I thought it would be a long wait, I was wrong.

The nurse got me to change, asked my a list of questions, I made 2 phone calls to Apple & VV. Before I know it, I'm been wheeled to the operation theatre.

Now it has been 4 days. I'm healing well.
Received gifts from colleagues/friends really cheer me up!
Thank God for his blessing!

Picasso & The Vollard Suite

Finally we made it to the art exhibition on 30.06.2007.
Mingming, Pucca & I went. Mei was sick so couldnt join us last minute.

After the art exhibition, we went BrusselsSprouts for lunch.
1st time for Pucca who loves the place & the mussels, I'm glad.

Met up w Dami @ Tong Building. Went to attend a time-share talk with him which he agreed w/o my consent. Showed a terribly black face, the sales person released us in less than 15mins.

He wanted to get a pair of shoes from Timberland but Metro Paragon doesnt have his size. So we left for Vivo. He was the woman that day & I was the man. He shop, try & buy. Me just standing around giving advice & carried bags when he went into fitting room.

We went to a Nonya restaurant for Asam Curry Fishhead which was our favourite.
In total he bought a shirt from Timberland, a shirt & pants from Esprit. I bought him a boxer short & a t-shirt from Metro. It was nice shopping as a man's role once in awhile.

Before going home, we went Gloria Jean for coffee.

42Kgs

Dinner tonight is another round of yong tou fu.
I'm very please with myself.
My goal of 42kgs still seems far away though.
But I'm going to keep trying. At least I aim for the sky.
Even if I don't hit my target, I'm still achieve high.

Dami is really too much. I'm very disappointed with him.
As usual I'm the one who will call him & ask if he had his meal.
Yet he never ask me back! I should pamper myself more.
I deserve it!

I thought today is the beginning of Mango sales.
Went by during lunch to Centrepoint branch, only to realise they are open for those with invitation card :(

I'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out if there's any good buy. Had lunch with Peggy the temp staff today. She's a nice & simple girl. Hardly can find such plain girl these days.

On the way home, Mei called me. She exclaimed excitingly that she has something to share with me. Of course w/o guessing I know what it is. Ah Siao proposed. In her bedroom. Haha I told her why so unromantic? She said nvm. She's too thrilled by her diamond ring that the rest seems so unimportant.

I hope Ah Siao will be as nice if not nicer to Mei. I'm happy they work out :)

Saw LP today. She's happy to see me & I like the way she look into my face closely & call me YiYi. So sweet & innocent. I wish she stays like that forever but I know it's not possible.
Momo & KW went for movie that's why LP's with mom.

At least they make effort to spend time w each other. For me, I'm always the one who propose...& he's always the one who turned me down. So sad right? Yeah. I should go & sleep liao. Don't want to waste time thinking of this.

Good night to me,myself & Sally.

Healthy Dinner

I'd a healthy dinner today. Dried yong tou fu.....
So proud of myself. While working out inthe gym, loads of craving for sinful food.
Luckily didnt give in to temptation.

I finally agreed to go dinner with E71 after so long. I guess it's too cruel to say another 'no'.
I guess a dinner won't kill me.

I scolded Dami over sms today. His attitude was sickening. I hate 1 way conversation.

What a Monday

What a sleepy Mon.
Look around the office & it's half empty.
Today is MME's last day & the team went lunch w her.
Meimei n I didnt get her any farewell gift.
We're just too disappointed w her.

Now I'm looking forward to this evening - Soup gathering @ VV's place.
Upon my request, Golden Goose prepare my favourite soup - Peanut w Chicken Feet...Yummy.

Dumpling

aToday is Sunday. It is also Father's day.
aDad isn't working like he normally does.
aI went over to mom's place @ 9.30am to help her with dumpling making.

For the 1st time in 34yrs, I tried making dumpling.
Eating is easier, haha but I enjoyed learning from mom.
She has alot of patience, showing & explaining to me the technic.
I made a total of 16 dumpling the whole afternoon.
Mom was expert! We started @ 11am, she sat through the whole making process till 6.30pm.

In between, I walked around @ home, watch cable, played w my nephew Leroy, took a short nap.
Mom didnt complain tired at all! Except she was having alittle headache & took a Panadol Extra.
Super Mom!!

Happy Father's Day - Dad!
Thank You Mom for the dumpling technic!
This will be one memory I will always remember!
