One word

m’ and me at the pool: m’: Uh oh! My spare tyre has definitely inflated itself! Without my permission! me: So has mine! m’: F**K! me: Yup. That pretty much sums it up hey? Well now I think it’s rather pointless trying to tell the sad tale of us pinching at our “winter padding” and [...]

Snow. Wind. And one big fat bruise.

So we’re back down to civilisation from the mountain, its slushy snow and biting wind. Yes, already! Two days up there felt like two minutes. Blink, and it’s gone. Sigh… Here are some thoughts / observations / random rambles: 1. Still feeling high from skiing. Or to be more precise, snow-balling down the slope. Adrenaline, [...]

Lo

Chả biết thế quái nào mà cả 2 tuần nay người mình cứ thấy mỏi nhừ. Sáng ngủ dậy đau lưng, đau cổ kinh khủng hoảng. Tới nỗi tối không muốn đi ngủ vì biết là sáng dậy sẽ chỉ thấy lờ đờ chứ không thấy tỉnh táo sảng khoái chi hết. Mà không phải [...]

Should I swear off exercising forever?!!

Well, rhetorical question. With several exclamation marks! And if you could hear me right now, you’d know what frustrated grunts sound like. I don’t remember what foot I stepped out of bed with this morning, but I’m sure it was THE WRONG ONE! So here I was in the kitchen, waiting for the milk to [...]

My simple dream

Well, one of them, anyway. That is to have a super large room, maybe 10m by 7m, with just ordinary timber floor. What for, you ask? So I can put some music on and dance to my heart’s desire, what else? I’ll jump, leap, hop, skip, twist, turn, bend, stretch, pirouette, cartwheel (not that I [...]

More on my short adventure at that amazing coral world

I got a nice surprise in the mail today. It’s the DVD of me & D. scuba diving on The Reef. The crew at CDC said it was gonna take about 2-3 weeks, but here it is already. Yay! However, I’m still debating whether it’s a good thing that watching the clip made me laugh [...]

I heart Cindy!

No, don’t you worry, disappointed in men as I am (and so she says), I haven’t decided to “swing the other way” yet. So all the gorgeous eligible bachelors out there, do not despair! (yeah right!) So who’s Cindy then, you ask? Well, she’s that amazing instructor for the Body Challenge class at the gym [...]

Yes I’m NATURALLY skinny. Get over it!

This is one topic I’ve always wanted to rant about but never seem to be bothered enough. Plus somehow I thought it’d sound a bit bitchy, which is not what I want on my blog. But well, today’s post on Mia Freedman’s blog just gave me the much needed boost, so here it goes, prepare [...]

A blatant excuse to pig out on cream cheese

So this morning I was stuffing my face with that wickedly yummy Philadelphia cream cheese spread I bought yesterday, oh the creamy milky artery-clogging goodness!, when I noticed that the label said “60% less fat than butter and margarine”. Refer to visual aid: “Fat chance!”, I thought, pun not intended, “Anything this delicious has got [...]

Winter’s here. Depression’s here!

I like to whinge about the weather. ALL Melburnians like to whinge about the weather. It’s just something we do. The more we whinge about the weather, the less we get taxed.** And you know that flowery “four seasons in a day” sing-song splattered on tourists’ information leaflets and websites? It’s actually just a pathetic [...]
