I WANT my neck back!

Hello.

It’s been long since I last wrote. I opened the blog today after so long, and saw entries by DK –with lots of nice pictures (seronok eh u jalan-jalan). Then I feel like writing too, dunno about what yet, maybe some updates on what’s happening around me and maybe some craps too.

Think. Think . Think.

Oh yes, I’m leaving Jerantut. Finally!! I’ve been working in Pahang since 2008 so I think it’s high time for me to come back. Not that I don’t like being here, but I think I like KL more haha.

I’ve worked in Temerloh and Jerantut. Gained so much experience, worked with very nice people, made lots of friends, learnt a lot of new things and ate a lot of good foods – All the good things!

The only ‘bad’ thing is - I GAINED SO MUCH KILOS!!! Not in Temerloh, but in Jerantut (that means since one year back, yes, in that short period of time!) Seriously, I’m not kidding. Food’s too good here and my appetite has gone wild, crazy wild! U don’t have to go find foods, foods will come to you. Especially since my surgery, polypharmacy and all, I noticed that I’ve ballooned to an alarming rate!

Don’t believe me? Do I need to prove myself to youuu? Oh well, I think that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. I wanna share, I don't mind really, coz I wanna change!

* I recently took a passport sized picture for visa purpose, they need one taken at least 6 months back. The ones I have is from 2008 – before I came to Temerloh . Now let’s compare *

Wait. Let me laugh again. I laughed so hard when I saw them side by side. My mum went OMG!! Left is from 2008. Right is last Monday . Not so clear coz I took them with my ipod. I’ll show you the real ones when I see you guys if u want to see lah.




See! Face is like pinggan and I have no neck now and my eyes look smaller (I have to cover my them, nanti masuk Sinar Harian pulak). note : Sinar Harian is the famous tabloid in Jerantut

Pfffttt! Gelak gelak jugak kan.But I must do something to get my neck back! I need to lose the double chin triple chin.

I have a plan. And no, it’s not as extreme as liposuction or gastric bypass. Will keep u people updated kalau jadi! And as of now, I have to make sure I get my ass back to KL first! I give Jerantut another week, 2 weeks tops! Wish me luck!

Weeehoooooo!

    Starting All Over

    I can't believe my leave is almost over. It's already Wednesday and I would have to haul myself to the Office in 4 days. Boohoo! Not looking forward to that. Sure I'm boooorrreeedd out of my wits from staying in for too long. Heck, since I'm back from the Brother's house last Friday, not once did I ever step out from the front door. (Ohhh, there's that one time where I waved Dad goodbye, but it was, hurmmm 5 mins max?) ... But being confined to the house sure beats going to the office anytime! (HAHA. Do I hate my job so much? I wonder..)

    So, what does a girl do when she's on house-arrest for 2 weeks? Watch loads of ANTM - cycle 11,12 and 13 on Youtube (my guilty pleasures ;p), stalk other people on Facebook and surf the world wide web on anything and everything. If surfing the net is a job, I'd be a billionaire by now.

    Since I'm a wee bit behind from the rest of the girls in TBL quest, I figured I probably should step-up a bit and do some research on weight loss/healthy food etc. (Senahhh, are you proud of me or whattt???)

    I've decided to share with you fella some interesting links that I found.
    This Is Why You Are Fat - Some of the food does look yummehhh!
    The Amazing Adventure of Dietgirl - You can find her book in most major bookstore, & this is her before & after picture. Inspiring! And check out her weight loss tips!

    Big Fat Deal - the authors have this to say about their site: 'a body positivity blog that is inclusive to people losing weight and people happy to be whatever weight they happen to be'.
    Couch to 5k - A programme designed for couch potatoes to run 5km in 9 weeks. That's a bit too long now don't you think?? By 9 weeks you should be able to run a half marathon!
    20 Superfood for Weight Loss - I'll be eating oats everyday from now on!! :D (Don't forget to browse the fitness & food and diet section too!)

    Stumptuous.com - A website on workout and weight training for women. Read this (Esah, this is your answer to why running alone doesn't help you lose the extra kgs that fast) & this.
    Healthy recipe by Heidi Swanson: 'I focus primarily on natural, whole foods and ingredients - vegetarian recipes that are good for you and for the planet'. Sounds good to me! Owh, more of healthy recipes right here.

    And booo to these 2 websites: Jillian Micheals & The Biggest Loser. Though Toblater Biggest Loozer is very much inspired from the show, the website is such a disappointment and not very useful at all. I registered for Jillian Michael's 'FREE Weight Loss Plan' and was then assessed based on 8-9 question questionnaire, the result was nothing that I don't already know! The REAL weight loss plan will only be made available to me for USD4/week. :P I should know better than falling for the marketing plans. Now all I get in return is newsletters spamming my mailbox once in a while.

    Alamak, the Husband complains that I'm hogging the laptop for wayy too long. I guess will have to end this real quick. Hope the link helps! Do share your favourite link as well.

    Jangan kedekut! ;p
