18/9 - CT DAY

SHIT SHIT SHIT. I am taking way too long doing this ): I've only completed 4 ideas so far. I think I need five times more ):
I'm spending about half an hour per idea? Generation + drawing. All this for a f-ing half mod! I should be spending more time on something else!!!! Like biz law! Oh gosh, so freaking stressed now.

Woke up at 11am today. So I guess I will be able to sleep later tonight. I hope. Maybe another 3-4 ideas before I sleep. It's already the 19th of September! Which reminds me, I'm supposed to finalise the partnership with the company by today. But I can't! Cos he asked me to call him Monday afternoon! ):

Food journal:
Breakfast:
Muesli with banana and oatmilk

Lunch:
Soup from yesterday... or was it 2 days ago? I'm always eating the same soup over a few days I realise!

Snack:
Chocolate milk with one spoon cornflakes. Damn those cornflakes! So nice and crunchy ):

Dinner:

Chicken breast with tofu, broccoli, cabbage, bayam, carrots, long beans... All the good stuff! Really enjoy eating like this!

Snack:
A handful nuts
1 cup chocolate milk with muesli
Damn nice! And I need to finish the chocolate milk by tomorrow! Thus, the excess of chocolate milk today!


Worked out too today! Was in serious need of one. Stress relieve and now my mind is so much clearer (:
Core cardio and balance. Painful. But so good (:

It's school once again on a Sunday! Will look forward to 3:30pm!!!!!

17/9

Today, I shall sleep earlier! Another 8% to charge for my laptop then I am going to sleep (:
3 days of sleeping at about 2am... Really getting to me. NEED SLEEP.

I had to go to school today to hand in my Stats tutorial, which I spent ages on last night! I finally got my GC to work this morning so I could do InvNorm stuff. It's been almost a year since I last did any JC math! And I really forgot how to do a lot of it. Had to call py today to ask how to use the GC again. 2ND VARS. AHA!
I got to the pidgeon hole 10 minutes late ): Dropped Prof an email. SIGH. Hope he doesn't deduct marks! Last Stats tutorial I got 9/10. So happy can. Hahaha!

Sat at SOE benches near Mr Bean for almost 3 hours working on my slides for the TWC presentation next week. I would have volunteered to do the presentation actually. But I am really swamped this week ): SIGH! Ok, next presentation maybe! Listing down all my quizzes and mid-terms tests and deadlines for my work... It's so daunting. So depressing. I have to work much harder than this! And I can't find the time to STUDY. Everything I do is just homework or projects, which is learning something, yes, but it's not STUDYING in that sense. You get me? SIGH.

Had our first Project Sunshine general meeting today. JS and I have to work on more logo designs!!! And soon, we will have to do some marketing collaterals for fundraising. Luckily, JS and I know each other since FTB. We are a good team! Just 2 people though, quite sad. Smallest department. Haha.
We had early dinner at Thai Cafe at Sunshine Plaza. My second time eating there. And I have to say the food is really quite good. One of the better places, and really affordable too. We ordered about 6 dishes and it cost each of us about $6. Think it's a good deal huh. The food is quite authentic too. Of course, never better than Thailand's street food la. I miss the food there. SIGH. Good memories of skipping school near promos to go shopping and eating there!
I think I'll be going to Krabi next year for our R&R!

Food journal 17/9
Breakfast:

I will never get sick of this. Weetbix with banana, almonds and oatmilk!

Lunch:
Chicken breast wrap
Papaya soy milk from Mr Bean
The whole time I was sitting at SOE benches, I was being tormented by the smell of pancakes from Mr Bean and the smell of cookies from Subway. EVIL! Craving for white chip macademia, double choc and oatmeal & raisin cookies! ):

Dinner:
Thai food, no rice please!
We had an omelette, green curry with chicken, black pepper chicken, kangkong, pork... Mmm, what else... I just wished it was spicier! But quite a number of them can't eat spicy food ): And no beef. The beef at this cafe is really good. Too bad couldn't order that either! I didn't overeat. Thank goodness. I took more vegetables, trimmed off fat and skin from the chicken, didn't take the gravy. And they are still asking me why I don't eat rice and why I remove the fat and skin from my meat.
They will never get it! Sometimes, I really don't feel like answering them either. We need to change the way we eat yo!
I know I will probably have a hard time in Laos. Cos there's lots of rice. I will see what I can do. Thankfully, I have a FTB friend who eats somewhat like me. We shall bring some tuna there! Haha. Will try to eat as normally as I can. I guess I probably won't get to exercise there? SO SAD! ):

16/9

It's the third day in a row that I'm up past 1am )))): But at least I can now say that I learnt something! I learn like a thousand times more doing my assignments than sitting in his lecture!!!! SIGH. Wednesday mornings ):
Week 7 there's 2 tests ): Biz law and Stats. Next week, there's LTB. Next week, CT idea journal, and week 7 LTB learning journal ): Next week, there's also TWC presentation! Week 8 will probably be the execution of our LTB CSP! WOW! What a fantastic 2 weeks I have in store for me! ))))):
But! Good news! Seems like the E-waste company is pretty keen on working with us! Will have to follow up later. Please God! Our group really needs help!

I am soooo sleep deprived ):
Mummy asked me if I lost weight. No, I didn't! Just that my jeans have been threatening to fall off the entire day! ): Size 25 leh ): Damn those jeans! It caused me such discomfort the entire day!


I really hope I can get through this 2 weeks. It's going to be HELL!

Food journal 16/9
Breakfast:
1/2 bowl nestum
2 egg whites, 1 yolk

2nd meal:
1 slice tuna bread
1 cup coffee

Lunch:
Thai chicken vermecelli. I didn't even finish it. Maybe 2/3 of it?

Snack:
1 slice tuna bread
1 cup ginger water

Dinner:

Soup I have been craving for! Chicken breast, tofu, cabbage, sweet potato, kidney beans and chilli! (:
1 bowl papaya

Indulgence:
I can't believe... I ate almost the entire packet of biscuit... THEN I looked at the label.
Calories = 500
Fat: 21g
WTF. How could I have forgotten to read the bloody label?! Must have been so so hungry la ):
Really... ruined my day ):
2 gummies!

I feel like getting something to eat now too! Just soooo hungry the whole day!

16/9

Ok, just a short one before I hit the sack. Just really excited now! :D
Muay Thai was really really fun today. And I learnt a lot from Coach. I am definitely sticking to Muay Thai my whole time in SMU, that's for sure. It will be my new love (:
Jess and I are thinking of doing it competitively. Both of us are really one in thought. I guess, coming from a sports CCA prior, both of us can't do anything if it's not seriously. I like the commitment, even if it means extra work and the extra effort to cope with my studies. I am sure I can do it! YES YES, I can (:

Anyway, Peiyi, if you are reading this... Join next sem or something! Got so many angmohs, bet you will like :P Haha!
We'll see if we can work things out with Thomas too! Go try out at his gym. He keeps boasting about his coaches!

This is only my second Muay Thai training! So far we've learnt the basic stance, jabs, crosses, knees, uppercuts and today, elbows and roundhouse kicks. When the senior asked me whether I was right master-foot I said yes cos I really thought I was. Then I amazed myself when I realised that I can do so much better with my left. And two seniors complimented my roundhouse kicks ok! So happy :D I love how loud the strikes are against the pads! Best when I compare to the other girls, like no sound :X Oops! Sorry, I am just trying to make myself happier now :P I am already quite happy. Can you tell?! Tired, but happy.
The warm up was quite "fierce". A lot of sprints, high knees, jumps, pushups... Till I got my lower abdominal pain again. It rarely occurs nowadays, much less than in secondary school. But it really hurts! I went to the toilet to just... wait till the pain subsided before going back to training. Pretty bad.

Next sem, I have to try to bid for my courses wisely. It has to cater to Muay Thai trainings as well. I don't want it to be like today. If I end at 10, I will probably reach home around 11:30pm. And if I have morning class the next day (like I do later!), I will suffer from sleep deprivation! I will be way too exhausted to do any work too! ):

Ok, time to KO! Goodnight (:

13/9 - 14/9 (0045 hours)

This really sucks! Sigh. I'm trying my best to research on TWC. I think I'm getting somewhere, but it's really late! And I really want to sleep NOW. But I can't, cos I have to complete it by tonight BUT I've got classes till 6:45pm. I really don't want to stay back later after school. It's mummy's birthday too! SIGH! So much work to do. But somehow, I will manage. Cos I don't give up, though I might complain lots!

I just got hungry. Snacked on a couple of oat and hazelnut crackers and a chocolate biscuit. Feeling... terrible!

I went to school cos Mal offered to help me with Stats. I really understand much more now! Thanks (:
Thought I would be able to go for Muay Thai today, but no one went, and I don't really know anyone anyways. So decided not to go, but Wednesday is confirmed! Also, was thinking about all the work that's due. I really need the time now to just mug. Mid terms will be coming soon too. Will be transformed to a SMUgger. Though I really don't like to use the term mug, cos I don't think what I am doing is mugging. I don't think I've actually mugged in my life la. Wait, don't get me wrong. I am not saying I'm smart or anything alright?
Got home and did a workout, make up for the loss of activity...
2.4km run
Staircase suicides (6 levels)
3 X 15 burpees (puke!)
3 X 20 bicycle crunches
8 sets 20s/10s air squats

Really... Tired.

Food journal 13/9
Breakfast:
1 slice toast with 2 egg whites, 1 yolk + cheese

2nd meal:
1 piece weetbix + oatmilk

3rd meal:
1 slice bread with tuna

4th meal:
1 slice bread with tuna
1 slice bread with peanut butter and nutella
(SO MUCH BREAD!)
1/2 cup coffee, couldn't finish ):

Dinner:

Minced chicken breast with carrots and potatoes + I don't know what this vegetable is called la! ): It's just damn nice. Haha.

A bowl of papaya. I always eat papaya with lime! Try it! It's the best pairing out there (:
1 cup green tea

Then I snacked at 0030 hours on the crackers and biscuit ): Terrible. But my tummy was hurting. It was calling out for food! ))))):



CT and Biz law. Crap. I hate Tuesdays ):

12/9

We had TWC meeting today. On a Sunday :/ I still can't believe it. I don't enjoy it. I'm just glad we accomplished quite a bit today. Now we just have to work on our individual assignments, to be completed latest Wednesday. I don't know how I am going to chiong so many things but I will sure try! Idea journal, TWC, LTB, biz law. SIGH! So much to do, so little time. All piling up already. SIAN. I need a run soon! Relieve some stress. Luckily there's Muay Thai tomorrow! YAY! :D And Thomas asked me to join his gym. Haha. Funny guy. Love his Muay Thai tattoos. He must really be passionate about it.

Went over to grandparent's house after meeting. Everyone was there. Nice to see the family. Always full of laughter, so merry! And whole day talk cock, so fun. Haha. And my aunt always has dirty jokes, so cool. I like :P Had a wonderful dinner after being deprived the entire day of food!

Food journal 12/9
Breakfast:

2 pieces weetbix with oatmilk and handful of almonds
Really miss having weetbix. I think it's my favourite breakfast option. I can't believe I once hated it. I also can't believe I didn't use to eat breakfast. Only started making it a habit in J1. Think I really forced myself to do it once I heard it was good for me. Initially, was pretty hard, especially since I used to wake up at 5am or earlier every morning to prepare for school. So sick can... Fortunately, school hours are much friendlier now!

Lunch:
1 cup Meiji coffee milk
1 spicy tuna sandwich

New bread. It looked rather interesting, so we bought it last night while grocery shopping. Has flaxseed. Good stuff.

Snack:
1 tau sar pau. Really lack of options! ): Should have packed more to meeting.
I stole some cheese rings from Cindy too. Really very hungry after meeting. I'm always complaining about being hungry in school in particular. Cos I'm just sitting there and all I think about is what am I going to eat next!

Dinner:
The awemose-est meal of the day.

Godpa baked a couple of chickens with his normal mix of herbs. Had the breast meat as usual, along with the rocket, cherry tomato and zucchini salad, feta cheese, olives and avacado. I wish I could eat like this more often! Either this or soup! I really like it (:

Last night we went grocery shopping at 11pm or something. My mum seems to enjoy dragging us out of the house late at night to shop. Haha. But I enjoy grocery shopping. All the yummy, nutritious food. I also try to make it a point to go each time so I can make sure that my mum doesn't buy any junk that she might consume. I banned her from her kimchi noodles. And I am trying to get her off rice and noodles. Hopefully she can maintain this stricter diet while eating out by choosing healthier options as well! If not all the efforts will be futile ): I just want the best for the family. I don't mean to torture or annoy them by nagging about the food they eat. I just think it's for the better, for health!

One section to stay away from. Onion rings, fries... All the frozen deep fried crap. Can't believe I ate so much of these when I was younger :/

Tomorrow will be mugging day. Hope for some help with my stats. Assignment is due Friday!
Mummy's birthday is on Tuesday! Wonder how I can make the day more special for her! Hopefully I don't have to stay back late, and she doesn't work too late again.

Good news: They'll probably be no mooncakes this year to tempt me! (: I hope I don't start craving for them soon. Though I really miss the snow skin, rum filled chocolate centre ones and the flaky yam ones. YIKES!

11/9

I will always remember this day, 9 years back. I was watching the news with my maid. I remember so many details. It hit me more than others because my mum was in the US, though not in the same state. Still, the thought of it really hit me. I called my mum immediately to see how she was doing. I remember crying too.



I was reading the papers in the morning. Some church pastor was threatening to burn copies of the Quran. Idiotic behaviour. I don't understand how anyone can have so little respect and tolerance :/



Woke up with aches all over. Must say it's awfully satisfying. I need a massage NOW. From YOU. You know who you are ok!!!
I've spent nearly all my waking hours today in front of my MBP just doing my work. But I still feel I could have done more. I am not satisfied with the amount of work I've accomplished, and the freaking CT idea journal is not helping! Blame my perfectionism, but I really can't stand my drawings sometimes. I know some people don't care, as long as they draw something it's fine. But I can't stand ugly work. And sadly, I think my drawing is FUGLY. Maybe I should just use Photoshop. Will be so much easier :/

JS sent me what we worked on for our Project Sunshine logo. Really nice stuff. My personal favourites (because I came up with it :P)

Nice? I think so! :D

Food journal 11/9
Breakfast:
2 egg whites, 1 yolk
1 cup green tea

Lunch:

Chicken breast and tofu wholemeal wrap. Very nice and satisfying!
1 cup soya milk

Dinner:

My very Indian dinner today. Would have loved some soup though!
Tofu sambal, stir fried cabbage with lentils and tumeric, ikan bilis. I know I said I don't eat ikan bilis. I do! But only at home or when the heads are not attached! If not they're looking at me. And that's gross la..

Snack:
1 cup green tea
A few strips of dried mango (just wish it wasn't sweetened)
