I love festivals! Gong Hei Fatt Choy! Wish everyone happiness, health and prosperity. Every festival, be it Christmas/New Year/Lunar New Year, I will always pray for happiness & health. The double Hs are the most important things in the world... things that make the world go round, and fill the world with hope for a better tomorrow. With that, I make a pledge to start going on a diet - a long constant battle with calories, kilograms, carbohydrates and myself. I should think positively instead, no, it's not a battle.

Anyway... it's been going pretty well, every festive season I tend to load 1 - 2kg. So far, it's been well under control, and with more frequent exercises, I should be able to reach my realistic target of losing 1 - 2 kg by end of march. I finally managed a breakthrough in my hula hoop count yesterday! Too ashamed of my little achievement, I shall not reveal what the number is. Thanks to a great SHIFU who demonstrated the correct way to do it.

Seriously, having changed to a rattan hula hoop instead of the plastic one, it really helped me in twirling more rounds, but a rattan hula hoop being really HEAVY and THICK, I got a bruise at my hip bone... which is really blackish red now. Hope I recover by wednesday because I'm gonna do hulas again. And also, thanks to the rattan hula.... as I spun it to hard, it suddenly flipped upwards and hit my tooth! My gums started bleeding and then my tooth cut my lips and tada... I have a cut on my lips! Ah....... and now My ABs hurt so much from yesterday's 1.5hr hula workout. Had rushed home feeling excited about doing more hulas but I couldnt continue doing it this evening. Switched to doing lunges, stretches, squats blah blah blah. Work out my BIG FAT ELEPHANT THIGHS.

Well, I can do it I can do it I can do it!!!

Short Deviation..... Dinner @ a Korean restaurant along Mosque Street with my lovely travelling companions... huimin not featured here... check out the wonderful little appetizers... yummy healthy stuff! Love the gourd thingy on the most left of the photo...

btw, i took this picture at the same restaurant.... xueli said her colleague saw the pictures that we took and commented that her friend, that is moi, looks demure. Xueli almost puked out and in fact, that was MY reaction too and I marvel at the fact at how looks can truly be deceiving especially when it's mine...
