Alright.
Why would I do this?
1) I am really sick of myself having high metabolism and being genetically skinny, but having a TUMMY.
2) I am jealous of the lean and mean bodies of the ladies I follow/stalk on Instagram.
3) I wanna look good when I see my Superman in July.
Why now?
I can't really think of a better time than NOW.
And it chances that, we've reached the 60 day mark in the countdown of us finally seeing each other after having a 115 day long distance separation!
How?
1) Exercise.
- I'm taking baby steps really. It's so not easy because I am so lazy. I blogged that I ran once, quite a while back, and due to the effects (muscle ache, limping, weak mind), I stopped since.
- I am doing a 21 day bikini body challenge which I started two nights ago (tonight is Night 3 and yes, the same effects have returned but I am determined!!!!!!)
2) Detox
- I am going to start a SkinnyMint detox programme for 28 days. Although I have not purchased it yet (I already emailed them), it's advertisement keeps popping up on my Facebook news feed so I deem it as a sign!
3) Control
- This is really difficult, because you can start the good stuff, but if you don't eliminate the bad, what's the use right???
- I'm a junk food junkie. Really good junkie too! I had papadam and Pringles today! Despite having green phelgm this morning *guilty peace-out*!!!!
I WILL GET IT DONE. AND one other unrelated incident for today,
- I stopped using my main Instagram account.
- I know I will be so tempted to get it logged in again
- Erm: I do not know how long it will last hahaha
- Basically I wanna log my track of this change in my other account instead of my main account on Insta cz I don't want my friends to know what I'm doing till I succeed. *DO NOT JUDGE ME*
I will see you in 60 days will a new change my love!!! Love you!

I miss Tanjung Bungah Goreng Pisang
I just had a very disappointing banana fritter. Sob Sob.
I blame the cute little tourist girl who was happily munching on hers in front of me at the table we shared.
Geez, talk about the power of suggestion and illusion. My weak minded tummy, why you so greedy!
Sigh. The lack luster of that banana fritter made me miss the best banana fritters I've ever tasted, in Penang, Malaysia.
ARGH I miss those Banana Fritters.

The skin is so crispy and it tastes so good.
Dating a culinary guy makes me so picky man! But seriously, this banana fritter I just ate had this weird after taste of too much frying batter that did not seem to compliment the banana.
But the stall I got my banana fritter from today is rather popular.
Wonder whether it will be as popular when people taste the real and awesome Tanjung Bungah Banana Fritters.
I'm not impressed by these (SGD1.50 per banana fritter summore!!!!)
Night 15: Brotzeit w/ the Colleagues
Yes. Thursday night, the new Friday of the week, seeing as Good Friday is a holiday, I went out with my colleagues.
I have no reasons not to, going home and staring at the blank wall doesn't seem like a better option.
LOL.
It was a pleasant time. After a very long drama filled day at the office/client place.
Goodness.
Beer is totally my best friend. Aiya who am I kidding. ALCOHOL is my family.

Night 14: MyKuali Penang White Curry Instant Noodles
Hahaha! Superman, do you remember lugging back that box of instant noodles for me? <3
The highly popular latest craze instant noodles, The MyKuali Penang White Curry Instant Noodles, which takes after the Penang's beloved White Curry Noodles, has been all the rage amongst the Penang Foodies, or Foodies in general.
This craze made it easy for what I suspect was a marketing ploy, to plan for a "shortage" of these noodles, in its homeland, Malaysia, in order for the word of it to spread far and wide.
It worked really well, but when these noodles surfaced in large quantums in supermarkets around Singapore, there were some pretty vocal folks that openly accused MyKuali on their Facebook page of playing with supply and demand to increase their popularity.
Who can blame MyKuali????? Free marketing yo! Get real!
Anyway, mom gave me a heads up on the situation and told me that there was "black market" sales of these noodles at RM10 per SINGLE PACKET. The normal price is RM6.80 for 4 packets.
WALAOEH. One packet of instant noodles nia leh!
Seeing as my mom and dad were really keen on the noodles, I obliged and roped in my boy to hunt down the elusive MyKuali noodles.
We found them at Bishan's Giant Supermarket, sold at SGD 4.20 per 4 packets, which is still reasonable, as compared to the RM10 per packet rubbish.
I got the boyfie to cook me a pack for dinner the same night and he absolutely LOVED it, but I felt otherwise. Perhaps it's because I really really love the Penang Curry Noodles much more than the instant noodles.
Anyhow, I was packing to go home on Wednesday night, and when I opened my suitcase, I really could not resist but to snap a picture of the instant noodles I was bringing/smuggling home for mommy.
Epic shit. Smuggling home instant noodles to Malaysia from Singapore, which were originally made in Malaysia.
Whatever lah! Ho Chiak to me is only my ORIGINAL PENANG WHITE CURRY NOODLES.
A box was lugged that day

Good Friday Weekend: Traveling back from Singapore to KL
Just a few days ago, I journeyed back to my home-city KL from Singapore.
As it was the Good Friday holidays, we braced ourselves that the usual 5 hour bus ride would most like extend to 6 or 6.5 hours, seeing as we took the Friday (holiday itself) morning bus back.
However, the entire ride took us 10 agonizing hours.
What happened?
1) We departed Novena Square at 9.30am (punctual)
2) We arrived at the Singapore checkpoint at 10.15am (still alright)
3) We left the Singapore checkpoint at 10.35am (okay)
4) We were stuck on the Tuas Second Link (in between Singapore and Malaysia) till 2.30pm
Technically, a 5 hour bus ride would indicate that we would arrive by 2.30pm.
This is stupid.
WHY?
1) There was a Singapore-Malaysia football match going on that weekend (WHY?!)
2) Singapore apparently sent 80 bus loads of supporters (no idea if its true, not going to check)
3) It was timing that caused that JAM. We were stuck in that limbo due to the Malaysian Customs and Immigrations' staff going for their weekly Friday Muslim Prayers.
Imagine this, there were 13 counters at one Immigration center, only ONE was being operated.
By the time our bus arrived at 2.30pm, they (the customs officers) were calmly and coolly gallivanting back to their counters and finally all 13 counters were operational.
STUCK, due to ridiculous staff management.
Just one border, so much shit separates us.
ARGH. Buck up my homeland! What's wrong with you!

Sushi Zanmai, One Utama
Back in KL for the Easter weekend with the family.
I tried something new, an Avocado Salmon dish that I felt was really good.
We headed to our fav hang out mall, One Utama to get our necessities in the comforts of a less-crazy-less-annoying crowd environment.
One cuisine we love as a family, is Japanese. Mom's not too fond of Western or Western-related cuisines, haha.
Basically we queued for Zanmai as it was the most decent mid range food available that everyone agreed on.
I tried something new, an Avocado Salmon dish that I felt was really good.
Avocado Salmon (RM7.80)
Funny-not-so-nice things that happened:
1) Dad ordered a coffee that he had to self-prepare. "I-kid-you-not"
Key-Coffee (D.I.Y) (RM 6)
Dad meticulously studying the coffee-bag
2) The RM13.80 priced Salmon Belly, was not fresh. It was served warm.
Warm Salmon Belly (RM13.80)
I, needless to say, sent it back.
Overall, I still had a pleasant dinner sesh, despite the warm salmon belly which I was very much looking forward to. But oh well!

Night 13: Twyxt
We downloaded this app that's meant for communication between couples.
It's really cool!
There's functions for the couple to share a KISS where both parties have to place their finger on a particular button and when that happens, it triggers a kiss w the sound effects!
Then there's the function to SPANK each other along with the sound.
And a FREEZE button where it freezes the other persons screen. According to the app, this function is meant for when one party annoys the other, thus causing the annoyed person to freeze the other.
Not really applicable to us, we find the freeze function cool!
Couple are also able to share photos with each other (like Facebook, but between two people only), and feelings.
As such...
More feelings....
The best part? Privacy and security.
The app allows you to lock it specifically so no one is able to access it other than you.
We haven't been able to chat as much recently due to awful time zone issues and work hour clashes.
But like he always says, have faith.
