Driving lesson 1

Extracted the last of my wisdom tooth today, there was some problems with my booking but everything worked out thanks to my doctor.  Extraction was done in 30mins for both upper and lower molars, face became swollen but swelling went down with a homemade ice pack.

Finish everything by 12pm and luckily I did not book my practical lessons at 12 or else it would have been a mad rush and with my face swollen. Mummy came to pick me up and went home to watch Naruto and to reduce my swelling before going for my first practical.

My control of the pedals is quite poor and I made the car die several time, but this problem can be solved with more practice.  It was fun, even though I was only driving the car for a short time. It was quite hard to get the right amount of acceleration and I either step too hard and too soft which makes the car quite jerky. Besides getting the right amount of acceleration, you still have to maintain the acceleration. My ankle was quite tired at the end of the lessons though.  Told my mother about my poor pedals coordination and she did the I told you so routine, not listening to her advice about learning automatic instead of manual. Well, just because it’s tougher to learn manual, won’t make me want to change to automatic and learning automatic has never crossed my mind at all. I’ve always wanted to learn manual, believing that it’s always better to learn more than less. Dad also told me that learning manual is better too as it allows me to drive different type of vehicles and there is no harm learning more.

I want to clear everything within the shortest amount of time and lessons, as each lessons are quite expensive. *cross fingers*

Misc #2

Green Tea with hokkaido red

 

Mitsu Mame/Sundae

MOF in my opinion is just selling pretty packaging. Tried out the new dessert and café store located at Lot one and they really do embellish the dessert up prettily. However the dessert is all just too all too sweet. I have to finish my dessert with a bottle of water beside me.

I hated running with a vengeance last time, however this has changed and sometimes during the day I would just have the urge, to run. I like activities that keep you moving from place to place instead of just being stagnant in one place. It’s just too boring from me. Even swimming in the pool back and forth is boring, because it’s just to and fro. Swimming in the sea is another story as you never know where the next wave is coming, what you may encounter underneath the sea etc. It’s exciting, scary too. I’m scared of water ghosts grabbing me.

It really takes determination to follow thru with my exercise regime. I get bored doing the same thing every day and constantly needs to find new or rotate the exercises to do every different day.  Found out many muscles that I don’t even know exist because I can feel it aching. However I do enjoy this kind of ache. It’s like an affirmation that I did exercise.

Mama bought Marigold Multigrain milk which is loaded vitamins and minerals. I like the taste! Healthy too, good!  Steamboat today again, but ate only vegetables and some yong tau foo pieces due to too much meat on Thursday.

 

 

Good tidings!

Wanting is getting married next year, May19. I’m feeling ecstatic, as she’s one of my few favorite cousins. She’s fun loving and almost as lame as me. I also found out today that azhar my polytechnic school mate flew with her before too. What a small world! I asked whether can I be the kid that opens the car door or the flower girl and she said “No.” L She said it’s because I’m too old and too tall. Bleh! I want to be the flower girl! I like weddings! Wee!

I received a call to eat steamboat today, which I turned down initially, but still went due to the persistent request. I am supposed to eat less and exercise, and steamboat which consists of meat and seafood is just not good! I was like a VIP there, or either that or they hate me and want me to be fat as they keep piling my plates with food! First time eating some parts of a pig and it was good! I don’t really like pork with too much porky taste. They told me that it’s good for my body joints, and just keep putting it on my plate even when I said enough. Haha, but it was real fun!  I really enjoyed eating with them, and I’m invited again next time round! However after that dinner, I have to make up for it and exercise about 90minutes.

It’s hard to stick to my losing weight plans when family members are just not supportive. My parents think that being plump is good. -__-“ I keep telling to them I am exercising to be tone and lose weight in certain areas and they keep nagging at me saying I’m not fat and shouldn’t be doing all this. Why can’t they understand? My mother kept showing pictures of obese people and said that they are the real “FAT” people. Then she sighs and said that whatever she says, I just don’t get it and don’t want to listen. I listen and accept advice that I think are good, but saying I’m should eat more and saying I don’t have fats at all even when I show her the flabby bits, it’s just not helping me at all.  Then my parents will attempt to buy back many delicious snacks and always keep asking us to eat it. Man! It really takes a lot of my willpower just to resist those foods. I really love my food. She gets angry when I said NO to food. I will not starve myself, I understand that starving is not the way to get slim and if I’m hungry, I will get something (healthy) to eat. But again, my parents just don’t get it. L I can do it! I will do it! *ROAR*

My SMART plan for losing weight

This time I am determined to lose weight this time round. Other time I just keep exercising yet results are not shown. This time, I am reading up on the correct exercises to do and will start watching what I eat strictly. I’ve been setting unrealistic goals and when I don’t reach them, it just makes me feel more demoralized. It’s better to do a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely) so as to get results.

Specific- I currently weigh 51kg with my height of 1.55, BMI of 21.6 which is within the healthy range. However there are parts of me that are flabby and saggy. I look plump too. L Therefore my goal is to hit 46Kg in 2months time while toning the flabby parts.

Measurable & Achievable- My goal of 46kg is realistic even though it still is considered heavy to many people. It has to be realistic so that my goal will be achievable, so I won’t be demoralize and not achieved my goals.

Realistic- I’ve been reading up on different exercises to do as well as the food intake. I’ve been taking in too much trans and saturated fats. Trans fats are easier to avoid compared to saturated fats. It’s impossible to avoid fats and we definitely need fats. There are bad fats and good fats and both saturated and trans fats are bad fats. However while in the supermarket, I was checking on the nutritional information and discovered that most items contained saturated fats. Since most items contained it, the only way is to minimize the intake of saturated fats. It’s contained in meat, eggs, dairy and seafood. Even in vegetables, there are saturated fats.

Timely- The time goal I’ve set is quite reasonable though I think it’s quite long. Maybe should set it in one month. 6kg in 2months sounds very little. Hmm, I think I shall change it to 6weeks instead of 8weeks.

On a side note, SMART technique is actually a left brain tool, which is easily analyzed, logical and linear.

Have I changed? I was an ENFP but been doing personality tests recently and results shown that I’m an ESFP now. Hmmm~

 

I’m not going
There’s a fear in me
It’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But, it’s not my time
I’m not going
There’s a will in me
Now it’s gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know, oh
There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see
And I won’t go
No I won’t go down (yeahh)
