Awww

This is my first post since I turned 18. I feel different, if just a little bit.

Sometimes two events come together so perfectly that you have to stop and wonder if God planned it all

Food blogging

I'm the type of person to obsess over something, then move on and obsess over another. Sadly, my obsessions are almost never good.

So just before this, my obsession was in losing weight. So, if you read my last posts, you'd know that that worked out pretty well. Then, disaster struck.

My new obsession is now baking. And, as you probably know, baking and losing weight don't go hand in hand. Because, you see, you HAVE to eat what you bake. There's no other way.

All I can say is, at least I didn't put on weight. I mean, I didn't lose any, but still.

Now, do you want to see what I've baked?





Chocolate chip cookies, olive oil cake, and brownies.

They were really good, even if I do say so myself. There was one unmitigated disaster where I tried to halve a brownie recipe and use it. Needless to say, it didn't work out and I was traumatized. Then I tried again, and it did work out so yay.

So now, I still have banana bread to make. oh, and maybe fudge. Nothing planned after that, but I do hope this obsession dies down soon.

I really need to get back on track.

Recipes are here, here and here.

I seriously need to stop watching AFC.

One thing. Okay, two.

Previous weight : 64.6 kg (142 pounds)
Current weight : 63.9 kg (141 pounds)


Better than nothing.

Here's how I celebrated.




(Don't worry too much, the sauce was made with low fat milk and low fat cheese. Lol)

My weight loss journey (on foot)

Okay, so I've been debating whether or not to talk about this at all.

So I decided to just write about it. I mean yeah, its personal and all, but its not like that many people read my blog after all, its more of a personal diary at this point lol. I did say I was going to delve into more details of my life. Also, I need something to keep me motivated and I hope this is it.

So. I've been trying to lose weight. Yeah. Ha ha. Get it out of your system, thank you very much. lol.

That's how I've spent part of my holidays.

Doing the magical things that help you lose weight miraculously....





Diet and exercise.



Now, when I say diet, I don't mean diet diet, with the oh no carbs at all, or crap. Sorry I don't believe in that. And when I say exercise, I just mean about half an hour a day.

To be honest, my quest for weight loss.... kinda worked. Well, for the most part, anyway.


So, the first week after I started this, it was just smaller portions of everything, you know? Like, less white rice, more vegetables, more fruits. Basically, lesser of the bad stuff, and more of the good stuff. And exercise.

And, of course, since it was the first week and my body was shocked after my years of laying around, let me tell you, I lost weight. It was exciting, seeing the weight drop off like that.

Okay... I'm totally embarrassed to write this, but at the beginning, I weighed 71.2 kg (157 pounds). That's right, pick your jaws up off the floor. I know, it was bad, I was a... 26 I think on the BMI scale. Which is not accurate by the way, its been disproved by many people, but still. 25 and above is considered overweight.

So the first week, awesomely enough, I dropped 2.1 kgs (5pounds). I'm not shitting you it was quite a dramatic weight loss. And I was so happy.

And of course, as all things in my life goes, something bad happened after that. I fell sick. And, I mean come on, you can't be exercising when you're sick, can you? Well, I couldn't, I had like no energy at all. But I kept up the diet and lost another 0.2 kg that week.

So its been 7 weeks and I know you're probably snoring by now but here is my weight breakdown by week.

Week 0 : 71.2 kg (157 p)
Week 1 : 69.1 kg (152p)
Week 2 : 68.9 kg (151p)
Week 3 : 67.6 kg (149p)
Week 4 : 66.7 kg (147p)
Week 5 : 65.9 kg (145p)
Week 6 : 65.3 kg (144p)
Week 7 : 64.6 kg (142p)

As you can see, the weight loss became really slow. The plateau is coming, I can feel it. Which is why I needed to blog about it. So that I can still be motivated once the dreaded plateau hits. But my goal weight is about 61 to 62 kgs (134 to 136pounds) so I've come a long way and I only have a small way more to go.

Let me warn you, though, that my weight loss has not been very dramatic. I'm still fat. And if you saw me, you'd probably not even realise anything different about me lol. But I still feel good about myself and I think that's what matters. Right? Of course if you think I lost weight and look hot now, there's no harm in telling me.

I have no idea what's keeping me going. I mean, I guess I am the type of person who likes to do things to the end, but was so tired/lazy to do anything up till now.

I might update you people on my struggle to lose weight. Although I know for a fact this week is going to be a really bad one. I ate pasta, and waffles and sweets on Monday when I went out and didn't exercise the entire day. Crazy I was mental. Like the cravings got the best of me. Whatever, you always need one day off, right?

Anyway, bye. Haha, well okay, fine if it were me, I know I'd like to see pictures. Again, there's not much difference so don't hold your breath please.


BEFORE (this is like the only full-length picture of me I could find. Needless to say, I shied away from all that. This was about a year ago, I think at my all-time weight high)




AFTER (In FOS trying on a jacket)



As you can see, not that obvious.

Any feedback, people?

I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss

Okay, so I said I'd share and I'm gonna do that. Literally.

Results. I got called a top scorer, along with hundreds of other people, but still! Surreal, first time in my life that happened.


Biology (580/600)

Omg what, right?! Seriously?? Yeah remember this ? Yeah, so I repeated Bio 4 and went from a 73 to a 100! Like crap right what the hell. I was so proud of myself, I was all boasting lol like that is so how you repeat a paper. In your face, Ms Foong! Lol, no I'm kidding she's really good but ha, you never really had to scare me. I worry enough on my own.


Chemistry (532/600)

After leaving blanks for about 14 marks worth of questions out of 75 (?) marks for Paper 5, I was glad to get 68/90 even though I was pretty sure I could've done better. Who cares, its still an A.


Maths (562/600)

97 for C4 like wow, I kept up with the Further Maths students. I was so happy, I really was worried my C4 was gonna be laughable.


Physics (525/600)

This was so bad it was kinda funny. Like what the hell la 54/90 for Paper 5 Physics. LOL. So bad I almost died. Physics 6 was another surreal moment, it was like are you sure this is my paper? 108/120. Which seems highly impossible to be honest, I left blanks and crapped so much. But whatever, I'm gonna be grateful and shut up now.


So that's it. That's the breakdown. I'm so happy right now I'm almost floating. Went out last night and this morning so will blog about that soon. Finally. Now hopefully I've made a decision on what to do with my future education and I'm gonna stick with it.

I hope everyone is happy with their results. Because honestly 2, 3, 4 As does not matter in the least once you go to uni. So anyone who was disappointed with yesterday's results, look forward, not back.

Bye peeps.

Celebration bitches

I got 4As! Congrats to everyone.

Will update soon.
