Come what come may

Time and hour run through the toughest day.

Really tired these days. Having 10-10 tuitions on weekends and working from 8.30-9.30 on weekdays. Why am I living this dog life when I'm only in my early 20s I ask myself. Sometimes when I'm on the verge of breaking I think to myself, what is considered too much to bear? And I ask myself, why am I doing this to myself? Ultimately I just have to settled for the fact that by going through hardship, I make myself a stronger person.

Okay even though I'm not dieting alr/yet, here's some food pics.

Friday night girls night out with Krystal and Sophia. Had so many interesting drinks (prob most at a go in my life) o.o sex on the beach (my fav), screaming orgasm, some sunset drink, usual tequila shots, some cool xo kopi o shot followed by wine treat for the neighboring table :P I would conclude that baileys is probs not my thing cus I really can't appreciate drinks with baileys D: 

Bad ikea brunch on Saturday that totally ruined my appetite for ikea forever. The salmon wasn't fresh and broccoli overcooked >.< the pancakes are just cold piece of flour and blah..

Yes I had my own magnum at the magnum pleasure store!! It's damn nice k, considering I'm not usually a magnum fan :/ 

Le bf had this which looks damn good right, just that I didn't bother putting filter so it's dark. It's some chocolate lava. As quoted from him, "it's brilliant! Using the bitterness of chocolate to bring out the sweetness in the ice cream!"

That night I went for supper dimsum at sweechoon :D:D

Sunday healthy breakfast at commonwealth market. Porridge with sashimi whoots~

And then I survived my entire day of tuition till the night when I ate bak chor mee and a tofu.

Monday was bad. Just terrible at work. So I had to have some comfort food from Pizza Hut hahah.

Yes it's chicken ole again. But omg little did I expect the bill to exceed $10 for a little chicken ole?! >:( ohwells..

On my way to work now on Tuesday morning. Today will be a better day! :D

Extreme weight in

Take note, it's weight in. Not weigh in. Why weight in. Cus we both gained weight. I would say, a midpoint analysis about the usefulness of this blog in our weight loss plan is zilch ): that's sad. But not for long! My project lose 5 officially starts next week on 8th October. It's really 不见 (gym) 不散 (fats). 

Alright, back to the purpose of this blog. I won't bother with posting breakfast anymore, cus all I've been eating and will
be eating will prob be the same thing. Yakun French toast set. Yes I'm so boring myself that I almost puked at myself. Whoots~ and I don't even make sense hah. I think I've been too overworked T_T

Dinner yesterday with Charlene at our 老地方, Graffiti Cafe. Not bad.

Ended off with dessert 

Charlene's

My favorite

I don't know why but I just love white fungus desserts. Love it so much that I drink the white fungus drink today too for lunch. And ate prawn hokkien mee. Oops I just realized I forgot photos today. And I had mos fish burger set for dinner. First time that I order fries for my meal for a really long time >.< but I still can't shake that guilt away. Meh can't wait to start my gym and project lose 5 :/

:o

Hi I'm blogging again cus eng sub version of the master's sun ep 14 is not out yet. Been searching all morning and all I get are the RAWs meh ._.  Today's gonna be a sad day at work alone cus zeyu is not coming. I hope I don't get scolded too bad :/

Anyway food for yesterday late night. 

The bf cooked this really weird kailan and just threw oyster sauce all over it. Like seriously.. Not good at all. But it beats the Maggie mee.

Just looking at the soup you'll know that the noodles have no taste absolutely. Anyway this was shared between us, so it's not that bad. However, I had this absolute craving for snowskin mooncakes, so I ate like 3 of Eddie's just yesterday T_T 

It's like... I'm not bothering to eat healthy at all. But then again, I'm not. Not till mid oct. For now, I'm just gonna take a break from dieting and enjoy food. I just hope I don't explode before I can lose them fats x.x

Oh my I really want to watch the master's sunnnn~

Back

3 points for guessing what's this unidentifiable mess. Lol. So busy these past 2 days I didn't even have time for lunch. So this was lunch yesterday. Tako pachi!

And dinner, hokkien mee! I think I have this special thing for prawns. Hahah.

Only managed to leave the office at 11pm yesterday so it's kinda like OT for 2 consecutive nights. My body gave up so now I'm down w flu and swollen eyes and what-have-yous. Lying around on the bed the whole time hugging my new bf. 

Okay bye sick girl back to sleep.

Busy bee

So busy so busy so busy. 

Had my usual Yakun breakfast. Busy doing things all the way till lunch when I ate my usual soup. OT today till 9pm then I had to treat myself to some good food.

I have no idea what's this but it's refreshingly good. It's like this thin popiah skin wrapping fried prawn and mango with some veg. Naise <3

Had kakigori dessert which I think is a 4 men portion so bf and I cannot finish :/

Nonetheless, today is one of my happiest day cus bf bought me a "bf" hehe. 

He said, this is gonna be his replacement to help me sleep alone better in my hall instead of perpetually sticking to him ._.

Shion Yee 10

I am guilty of forgetting to update haha. I got take pics though. 

Woke up late so I had to buy breakfast on the way to work ><

It actually says 'lunch pack' but it was my breakfast :p honeydew jam and whipped cream sandwich! It was nice but the jam was a bit too sweet...

Lunch was a yakitori don. No pics cus I was eating with my bosses :x

Then after that I had a couple if drinks and dinner at JS Burger with my coworker. Always wanted to try this place!

Big burger came open faced! The bun was a little dry but the crispy fries made up for it hehe. 

Then we headed over to his friends house party lol. Had a few drinks but not too many.

Spotted an FT truck on the way! Hehe

Saturday:

Today's brunch, cos I woke up at 11, was instant zhajiangmian with broccoli and two small gyozas. 

Then I went for Studious' internship briefing. Omg like the people there were super stylo *_* not just the people from the company, the students attending the talk were all dressed really well too. Especially the guys, what?! 

Their A/W catalogue was included with their stack if brochures as well. Cool! And different from the other formal talks I've been to so far. 

Walked around in shibuya a bit after the talk, but managed to stop myself from buying anything hehe. Partly because my shoes were really uncomfortable though >< I really need a pair of good black pumps!

Dinner was a bento from seiyu because I wanted rice but I was too lazy to cook :x

Omg I love salmon roe. And the egg and pumpkin were so juicy(!?).  I must eat this more often. 

Then i snacked on peanuts and raisins. Oops D: and I weighed myself and I was 52.8 D:

Ok I'm going to get back into my diet tmr!!

Back date back date~ to 2 days ago. Cus Shionyee made me start on this new drama The Master's Sun. It's so good that I just can't stop watching, hence I neglected the blog hah. Omg why isn't the whole series out yet ): anw I was just telling Shionyee that the show makes me super happy, and I have never been so happy in such a long time already :/ :o :D

So anw yes backdate to two days ago. Cus I've been staying in school the past 2 days, I couldn't make any home cooked food. In the morning I had some handmade chee cheong fan with vegetarian char siew. And in the afternoon, I discovered the most awesome porridge in NUS. So awesome I have to post 2 pictures of it.

Too good I tell you. The liao gaogao :D

So dinner was a rather lonely affair again. I bought chicken for myself from Giant.

Yes I know it's super oily and fatty. Don't worry I tried to remove as much as possible alr and left half for the bf who's coming home late.

That's it for 2 day ago. More about ytd and today tomorrow. Hahahah. Omg so confusing.

Eleven~

Had my usual Yakun French Toast set yesterday *im starting to get sick of it* and work went well in the morning.

And then in the afternoon, I supposedly have the best soup of many days but before I could even try it, my friend spilled it. Well I can't blame her cus she was being helpful to help me heat it up and bring it to me, seeing that I was really busy. But I cannot deny my heart broke into a million pieces when I see my 爱心午餐 land on the floor T_T so she insisted to pay me back with smth else and I said ok, mee sua then.

 Orh mee suay from shihlin

Dinner was interesting affair with my boss to be. She was telling me about the importance of having a good immediate boss who will guide and groom you. So uhm, yes boss, please practice what you preach k :P we ate Ding Tai Fung. No photos once again, cus you have seen it all before anyway. And then I ended off with my usual berries and fruits for the night!

Omg got to show you something!

Yes! Am now a proud member of Fitness First! I think I'm so lazy and full of procrastination, I have to settle for paying to discipline myself. Plus they have really fun classes like toning/dance/yoga that I can go for unlimited :D 

Day9

LWoops this is yesterday's and today's post in one :x 

Breakfast for both days was oatmeal! Ran out of chocolate chips so I tried peanut butter with blueberry today. Kinda funky haha. 

Internship was delayed because of typhoon so I had lunch at home. 

Lunch was curry beehoon with a salad :) I love bee hoon! So fast and easy and filling and non fattening haha. The curry was from iherb.com and it was surprisingly authentic. I wonder if there's a cheat for me to make satay sauce using peanut butter and curry or sth... Then I can have satay beehoon!

Well anyway the first day of my second internship was a joke lol. 2 people backed out and one person wasn't able to go that day so I was alone for an hour. Then the person in charge came to tell me I could go home for the day. What?! Lol. So since I was in shibuya I had a small shopping trip heheh. Shopping is a form of cardio!

Dinner was ramen because I was craving it!

Yumyum. :D 

And then I thought I was doing well but when I went home I gorged on milk chocolate covered peanuts and 1/3 a chocolate bar orz. Failed. 

Peirong's weigh in

Has physio yesterday with hot Angmoh accent therapist :P hence I woke up late without breakfast but had a huge brunch instead.

Beef stew kinda thing prepared by bf. I think it's a tad too herb-y? Didnt particularly like the strong taste but nonetheless, soup is always good.

My favorite bo luo bao from XW cafe :D

The day went rather peacefully in the office, with that woman telling me off at the end of the day that I should inform her if I were to take time off. It wasn't that bad. I'm thankful. 

Oh I forgot to mention, midday I had this baddd craving for unhealthy food and I ended up buying a Cadbury bar and some cheesystick plus a bar of matcha candy >.<

Dinner with Krystal at Marche. I tried to be healthy to make up for it.

I hereby name it the in presentable plate of veg. Tried to pile as much as possible into my medium plate lol.

Dessert of the night from Honeymoon Dessert. Mine's the double boiled papaya with white fungus and we shared the mango little things.

Back home for supper D:

Chinese style pasta

I swear my bf's trying to fatten me ._. He's always appearing with strange yummy food in the middle of the night to tempt me >.<

Anyways, it's a diet failed day yesterday. Nonetheless, I'm not gonna give up. Hwaiting!! *omg I'm so late for work* =.=

Oh my weigh in! Took my weight in the clinic, 46.3kg T_T that's like 1 more than 2 weeks ago.

Lazy Sunday 9

Slept at 11 last night and woke up at 1pm today to find the laundry I left out last night drenched in the rain ToT

...I slept for 14 hours! Hahaha amazing. That averages out to 5 hours a day this week. Guess that wasn't so bad. 

Was actually planning to make pancakes for breakfast but I woke up wanting something savoury so I had curry with prata!

And an extra bun because I was feeling hungry hahahahaha. 

And then between 2 to 5 I had a mini toblerone and kitkat while watching the masters sun  hehehehehe. Omg I love this show! Sojisub and Gonghyojin have too much chemistry!（≧∇≦）Peirong faster go watch!!

And them i decided to take a stroll at about 4 because I was too bored. And, inspired from the pasta salad in the Lawson, I decided to make my own for dinner. 

Fastest and laziest and healthiest (?) dinner ever haha. Open salad package, open noodle package, cut ham and tomato, put together.  The noodles are some tomato konyaku noodles that are amazingly only 10kcal heheheh. I also dressed it with kewpie's non-oil sesame dressing and some mayonnaise :) yum! I think this bowl didnt even add up to 200kcal heh. 

For dessert I blended an apple with some milk! No veggies this time because I just wanted something sweet lol. I love apple+milk!!

My second internship starts tomorrow. Honestly, in have no idea what to expect.  I don't even know what the company does exactly :x we'll see how it goes I guess! Hahah

Oh yes. I took my weight this morning. 51.7! Yay! :) though probably just because it was in the morning lol.

Dear blog, I think Shionyee has abandoned you T_T it's okay, you still have me.

Since I've already mentioned brunch yesterday. Shall focus on dinner and supper. Yes you didn't hear wrongly, supper. 

Dinner was spent lonely but nicely in Ding Tai Fung alone.

Favorite sour and spicy soup

Xiao long baos which I ate one before taking the photo

Super yummy dessert that's so expensive =.= $6 for a small bowl

Anyway the bill went up to an alarming $24 for myself alone D: made me feel like a pig.

Watched Percy Jackson and Sea of Monsters like finally~ with the bf

And so I was like, should we buy the popcorns? Will you help me eat most of it? And he said yea he will. ENDED UP WITH ME GOBBLING THE ENTIRE BOX OF POPCORN?!?! >:( plus a cheesy sausage.

A little movie review/spoiler here. The movie itself was not bad actually. But a little bit... cliche? As in like, I could totally imagine his cyclops bro to die right from the start, and later rising from the water. And that Kronos will have to rise for the climax and that Percy will have no time to fight him, so they just anti-climatically let him die within seconds of his rise with Percy giving him a huge slash on his chest ._. Didn't like the fact that Thalia came alive at the end though, but I suppose it's necessary (once again) for the story to continue. Is it just me or does anyone else also think that it's a tad too similar to Harry Potter? 2 heros with ambiguous fates and destinies (see Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter), 3 kids going on an adventure 2 guys 1 girl (Harry, Hermione, Ron).. Nonetheless, I liked the movie. Hahah! Cus I'm easy pleased like that lol.

Anyway back for supper which mommy claimed she painstakingly queued an hour for me, some hor fun from Braddell. And oranges which she claimed to cut just for me even though she's really busy. To those who thinks that my mom's that awesome, sorry to burst your bubble. My mom has an evil intention to do all that in exchange for me to play mahjong with her. So yep, we played mahjong. I mean.. Despite mahjong draining my life away making me extremely tired and all, it's the best way to spend time with my parents and get to talk to them. So I usually give in to her even though I'm dead tired from a whole week of work.

Oh by the way, I signed it :/ I sealed my fate yesterday and signed my life to OC. But the staff benefits seems not bad eh. Sharmaine thinks its cognitive dissonance. Hahah.

Shion 8

woops didn't update for 2 days because I was too occupied with my internship *_* went home at like midnight for the last two days haha. Anyway, I had really exciting meals for the whole week hahaha. 

 First up was my dinner on Thursday at the Singapore National Day Reception!

So many people! And lots of food, because what would a singaporean gathering be without food?

First thing I gunned for was the Peking duck actually haha. Because from experience I knew it would be the first to run out every year. ...I forgot pics. Haha

Then I had satay! I was so happy to finally eat satay :)) just that it was kinda posh and that was weird haha. Posh satay, posh chicken rice. 

And then there was grilled beef nomnom

And then dessert was fruits and cake! The picture does the cake no justice D: it was so good!

There was some funny flag thingy on the table too but it didnt look too tasty so i passed on that. 

met some really interesting people too. Can't wait to go for the ASEAN festival in Yokohama on the 4th and 5th hehe.

Anyway, I did also manage to get a picture of yesterday's lunch too, 

because they knew we wouldn't have the time to go out for lunch and they ordered sandwiches for us :) so sweet right! Breakfast was oats as usual haha. 

 I really wish I had more time on this internship because I really learnt so much, but I feel like I wasn't able to show it :/ and I realised that what really matters is the people around you. Being surrounded by people who were so brilliant was a completely new experience for me and it just made me want to work harder, do more, get trashed, work harder again. haha. I say get trashed, but the feedback sessions were just really there to get me to rethink my assumptions and think logically. Every time I came out of the meeting room I felt smarter. hehe And I didn't notice how much I was being affected by the people around me up till now. The level of motivation, brilliance, everything just rubs off it you're surrounded by the right people *_*

During the Q&A session of our final presentations, lol the ALL questions they asked were so sharp and to the point I was just in awe. Like you know how we've been studying critical thinking and all that jazz since secondary school. I never really got it. But I think I kind of do now. I couldn't really answer most of their questions, which was kinda sad, but it really got me thinking.

Before the internship I was just really doubtful about the whole thing. Like, what can you possibly learn in 5 day seriously. And what, a startup? :/ Well, the answer is a whole damn lot, if you got wonderful mentors like me hehe. :) I dont think I've ever thought so hard about something before and it was a really good experience that have me a chance to learn about myself.  I'm so thankful I got this internship :))

Oh and this was the gum I was chewing in the office everyday to stop myself from eating junk from the pantry haha. 

So cute right! Shirokuma is like ice kachang with lots of fruits haha. It also means polar bear! I really ove Japanese packaging.
