All that exercise

I have been swimming quite often nowadays. Ok - I won't call swimming 10 laps each time a real work out but still, I have been swimming. And I just went for an East Coast cycling trip with Chick and Sis today. We resisted the temptation to indulge in hot fudge sundaes and fries after our so-called work out. BUT by dinner time, Sis and I could not hold it any longer. We ordered the greasy chicken rice instead of the fishball noodle we were supposed to have. And erm, Mr. Jang bought 2 bags of potato chips for us after dinner. We started eating them once we got home, and tried to compensate for it by eating fruits at the same time.

Erm... I'm wondering now if all these exercises are making us fatter instead of healthier, cos we now have a justification to eat all the junk?!

Mr. Jang and I said that we would aim towards shedding 2 kg each by the end of the month. Apr 30 is fast approaching, and I'm quite sure I'm nowhere near the target. Ok - I'm definitely not gaining any weight, but am definitely no losing any either. Plus, I have no perseverance nor stamina. Mr. Jang can run a longer distance and swim more laps than me, while I will stop at the slightest sign of breathlessness.

Sigh. I better bring back that sports girl in me quickly if I really want to look fit.

Simei DBSS - done deal!

MR. JANG AND I FINALLY BOUGHT THE SIMEI DBSS FLAT (PARC LUMIERE) TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh. It's the most expensive thing I've ever ever ever paid for in my life and to be honest, I am not sure if I understood the full impact of this.

We were quite lucky cos we were supposed to rejoin the queue at 1pm today but apparently some people did not turn up so we were called to go there and wait around 11 plus. After another four more hours of waiting, monitoring the no. of units sold (like stock market), and trying to calculate our budget etc etc, we finally decided on this 5-room flat at one of the inner blocks because all the good 4-room flats were sold out. The unit isn't located at the ideal floor but it's within our budget and we like the unit no. Plus, my current place will only be 10 minutes away by car. And Sis said that we can take TPE to her place next time.

And so, here's to ticking one more item off our to-do list!

Simei DBSS - my first attempt at queueing for a flat

I spent the entire day queuing up for the Simei DBSS. Mr. Jang and I knew that people were already queuing up since yesterday but we didn't expect the crowd to be this big. By the time we got there at around 11.30am, our queue no. was 500 plus. The procedures were really quite confusing with the staff dishing out contradicting instructions. And then it was a long, long wait. At around 7 plus, the staff just announced that we should come back tomorrow. Argh! In the meantime, the good units were all being taken up! I wonder if it's worth going back tomorrow.

Sigh. It's my first time queuing up for a flat and already I'm thinking that it's quite a hassle. But then, it's part and parcel of the Singaporean life, hein?

Exams are over!

Exams are finally over! The paper was a killer but I'm so glad that it's over because it meant that I'm done with another semester i.e. only one more semester to go!

From now till the next semester, I'm going to make it a priority to look after my health. I haven't fully recovered from the stupid flu and at the rate I'm eating chocolate (my comfort food), I'll slowly but certainly become the fattest bride next Jan.

Nice Mr. Jang

Mr. Jang in the rain flagging for a cab while I hid under the shelter. Simple things like this makes me go, "Soooo sweet". :)

:'(

I asked LL if she would cry on her wedding cos I've been hearing Slipping Through My Fingers from Mamma Mia and I suddenly feel so sad. :'(

Mr. Jang always said that just take it as my parents are gaining a son. I mean I feel happy that I'm getting married. But at the same time, for some reason, I still feel sad. Is it normal? :'(
