Calories Calories Calories

Obviously from the title, the topic for this post would be about calories.

I've gained weight, A LOT! This is by far the heaviest I've been. Oh, no no no. 2nd heaviest. The heaviest I've been was 3 weeks ago at 58kg. That's right, 58!

Current weight? 55.7kg. Yeap, Bit overweight for a person of my height (which is 150cm, fyi). 

Sooo.... been trying to get back on track. Burning calories and watching my intakes.

Been on the treadmill, trying to burn of at least 300 calories daily now. Phew! Have to really push myself to do so. Last year, I could burn of 500 calories easily on the treadmill. Why oh why did I let myself get lazy???

And so today, I've been doing cleaning the whole house. Up and down, in and out. Took me like almost 4 hours to get everything done, including the laundries and also cleaning the puppies. After all that, I hopped onto the treadmill and did brisk walking to burn off 200 calories only (coz I was tired). Then after a short rest, off I went to prepare lunch.

Wanna know how many calories I burnt from 8am til 2pm?

HAPPY 55TH MERDEKA DAY MALAYSIA!

And because it's our National Day (and holiday), me and the cousins decided to go and do another photo shoot session. Just for fun. 

The theme for this session was supposed to be Casual vs. Free Spirit.

But along the way, we got lazy.

And we were not really prepared for this round of photo takings.

But anyways, managed to snapped some decent photos.

So, here's some of the snaps taken.

And that last picture was taken without my brother's knowledge.

He only tagged along coz he wanted to go for a jog.

So, that's all that we managed to snap. 

Well, there is more but I don't think anyone would be interested to view all of our snaps.

And this final photo for this post is a photo of Yours Truly, bitten by mosquitoes.

Raw and Unedited.

Until next time!

Secret pastime activity revealed :)

Hello lovelies!

I kept putting off blogging, even though there are lots of happy things to be shared. I find myself too lazy or even tired sometimes. Tired from what? I dunno. Hahaha.

Anyway, referring to the title of this post. 

Secret pastime activity revealed

Well, its actually not really a secret. Coz we've let some of the product to be leaked through the internet, most especially through Facebook. 

My cousins and I (and also my siblings when they are around), we like to take pictures. Yeah, sounds normal. Everyone take pictures as well. So what? Right? Well, we don't care! 

Been doing this for a few years. At first we would just randomly cycle to the beach and take pictures using our hand-phones and stuff, trying to work out different angles that might turn up nice in the pictures. Just normal pastimes for us. Heck, there was even one time when it started to rain when we were doing our own stuff at home, when we realized it would be nice if we could capture a picture with raindrops falling in it. So tried we did. That's how random we were. 

Recently, we've upgraded. Well, only slightly. 

And we did another amateur photo shoot for ourselves. 

The theme was Fairy vs. Street-wear.

But I think for my part, I was going more to the lost doll thing.

We were our own wardrobe coordinator, make up artist, model, photographer and all. 

Wanna see the results?

(I don't care if you said no, I'm gonna post it anyway)

Ok, that's only some of the pictures from our little amateur photo shoot.

We're still working out on our skills, whether on the poses, facial expressionism and also photography skills. For me, this is just another pastime activity. Doing something that is fun and something that I like. Not so sure but the other two cousins. Maybe they will take it further. We shall see. 

Last picture!

The three of us, calling it a wrap.

We're now thinking of our next location.

Red is Sexy??

Just a random post on a Sunday evening. Wasting precious time before going off to the beach for a jog later. Hm, I have lots of sunset pics from my jogging activities. Maybe will post 'em up later when I'm free (or procrastinating). ;)

Yesterday, the girls and I went shopping for Prom. Yes, Prom is coming real soon!! This Friday, 30th September. The theme, Red Carpet Soiree. 

And so, while out Prom accessories hunting, we went hunting for that Oh-So-Sexy Red lipstick that matches us. Tried on so many that I got really tired of lipsticks. And FYI, I am soooo not a lipstick person. *sigh* But then, we found the colour that seems okay... (And means more to me I guess. Coz I really dun look good in lipsticks.) 

And, girls being girls, once we have one something new, what else do we do best?

CAM-WHORING!!

Hahaha.

Red is OH-SO-SEXY-HOT!!

Hahaha.

Okthanksbye!!

My quaint life in Sri Aman

:: This post was supposed to be posted on 3rd December ::

Hello.

I’ve been home for almost a week now. I’ve been meaning to blog since last week but darn Streamyx won’t co-operate with me. *sigh* Come; let me show you what I’ve been doing ever since I’ve arrived home.

Home Sweet Home.

Bit messy coz Mum and Dad is too busy at the shop. My sister is left to do all the tidying up. That’s her and the dogs in the picture. :) Only have 2 dogs now since Billion died. I miss her dearly; she’s been a good companion.

It’s nice to be home. Sure, I have lots of chores to do. Christmas is almost here and CNY just 2 months after that. I have to start cleaning up the house now. Starting with the cushion covers. Next will be the curtains (My house has ridiculously lots of curtains. For the windows in the living den itself, it has 3 layers of curtains!) Then there’s the windows to be cleaned, the garden and, and, and .. what else? A LOT!! But still, there’s no place like home. :)

One thing I don’t like about coming back here would be the “beautiful” view and “soothing” sound from across the road. :( Owh, and don’t forget the “wonderful” smell too.


Darn those logging company. This is like right in front of my house. Every morning I’d wake up to the sounds of those machines blaring away. Once I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to go to the loo, and when I opened my bedroom door, I was greeted not by the sounds of birds chirping, but the sound of the logging vehicles. How soothing can that be? Luckily my bedroom seems to be soundproof. The view used to be quite pretty in front of my house coz it’s situated right at the river banks. I used to bring my dogs for a walk there. Now, it’s all ugly. Once again, thank you darn logging companies. :S

What else have I done? Hurm … Owh ya! I’ve been cooking! My brother is crazy on one of the Indian dish my Mum learnt from her best friend back in Solomon. We think its Chapatti. Haha. I miss Auntie Praful and her cooking. I used to go to her house after school every Monday.






And my sister baked a birthday cake for her boyfie. It was a chocolate cake with Vanilla Butter cream icing and a pinch of cocoa dusting on top. I only helped to spread the icing and did the dusting. Felt too lazy to do any baking or washing up. Hehe.



By the way, the cake was delicious. And it should be. Me and my sister have been baking since ermmm, I don’t remember. Haha. Owh, and I flipped through Mum’s recipe book a few days ago. My hands are itching to try out some of the cake recipes in there. I better copy it down into my own personal book and bring it back to Miri. First recipe I wanna try would be the Truffle Chocolate Cake. Yum! :)

Besides Chapattis and cakes, I also had a few of my favorites. I don’t know some of their names in English though. Sorry!





Hurm … What else? I think that’s all for now. Owh wait! I’m currently hooked onto a certain game. It was introduced to me by my game freak brother and surprisingly my book loving cousin. :)

*eyes rolling* Childish, I know.. Haha!

Guess that’s the end then. Nothing much to tell anyway.. Maybe in my next post, I’ll show you some pictures of Sri Aman’s new Waterfront. Haha! Sri Aman is not as quaint as it use to be ..

P.S: I almost forgot. My sister is a cruel, cruel, cruel person. Need proof?


Hahaha!
