Midweek randomness

I had my lunchtime kickboxing session today - the third one I've attended out of eight so far :X - and I'm both exhausted and happy. My muscles ache but it feels like a right sort of pain, if you know what I mean.

I'm determined to try to lose 5kg before my wedding in November.

Or, look like I lost 5kg of fat, I'd be okay with that too.

There's just too much loose flab hanging off me at the moment, and I'm having some body image issues with ballooning about a size up for bottoms. :(

Not to worry though, friends! I am not dieting or starving myself - I'll try to shed the pounds with exercise and healthy food. I don't believe in dieting, anyway.

I've had enough free time lately to think about some things, and I've made up a list of games I want to play again / complete.

1) Final Fantasy X-2, XII and XIII

2) World of Warcraft

3) Sims 3 (and all the expansions after World Adventures)

4) Mouse Hunt

That means I need to buy the approximately 8 PC games I'm currently lacking, which would set me back by about $500, and the one PS3 game. AND. The PS3. Oho! That'll be the big ticket item.

HOKAY BYE. It's Friday tomorrow, so hopefully I get to play some of my games + buy some of the discs over the weekend! :)

Write, I must.

I can't believe I've only been back at work for FOUR days since I went on my week-long leave last week.
It feels like forever and everrrrrrrr ugh!

I'm not sure what I can say in this space to make my life seem even remotely interesting at this point.. But I'll try. Haha.

In the midst of all the flurry of the work week, I have been squeezing in precious time with Clem, doing what we do best: eating!
I also try to drag him to shop with me, and the result is my fabulous haul from the MNG sale last week: 3 pairs of work pants, 1 pair of jeans, and 2 tops - all for less than $150! I can't resist good deals, and my only regret is not getting more stuff. Hur. But maybe it's good cos I can save up for the upcoming Zara sale! :D:D

Work-wise, I'm pretty much trying to will myself to just be zen and not let unimportant things bother me.
I tell myself the plan is to stay for as long as I can, and learn as much as I can from here as well. I don't think it's any big reason that's making me unhappy, I'm just restless and dissatisfied in general - but what makes me think leaving right now is the best solution?

I thought long and hard about why I'm so unhappy, and I've come to realize that the main reason for my unhappiness stems from the thought that I'm wasting my time here. I ask myself what I'd rather be doing, and I think what I'd really like to be doing is to write for a living.

So with that, I think I'll be trying to write a lot more from now. Articles, blog posts, chapters of a novel, short stories... I'll try to write something every day. I think at this point, it's not a matter of a good practice anymore - I need to write to keep me sane and happy. I've been feeling so out-of-sorts ever since I started work in March, so hopefully my new resolution will serve as a healthy dose of optimism and hope in life. :)

A random picture of me looking happy at my Crystal Jade dinner last night to end this post, because I'm random like that. Hur. On a separate note, I love instagram and I wish to God that I had a device which supports that. This was stolen off Clem's iPhone. HA.

Oh, oh! And one last thing before I go back to scoping out the latest Resort 2012 collections, I need to announce that I've updated my livejournal sales page with some of my pre-loves and brand new items that I've bought but never worn before. I'll keep updating it as and when I put new things up for sale from my wardrobe/when things get sold - I'm anal about being up-to-date that way.
So do check this out if you'd like to give some of my pre-loved clothes a new home!

"It's a wrap!"

Holla chicas! 

I'm back from my blogging hiatus after a super happs week that's seen me doing so much more other than work. Spent 4 days in Vietnam over the weekend, and came home to find out that my wedding shoot had to be rescheduled cos my photographer was quite ill :( Was a mad rush to co-ordinate all the rescheduling since there was the shoot location and make-up artist to take into consideration as well. But it all ended up well and the shoot went on as planned yesterday, hurray!

I'm not sure when the real deal will be ready for viewing, but I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be soon cos I CAN'T WAIT!!! :) 

It was truly a mad-cap adventure across Singapore capturing the essence of who Clem and I are as a couple and as individuals, with our shoot beginning at this quaint little restaurant cum private movie theatre at Club Street, The Screening Room. You might be able to guess why we chose a private cinema for one of our locations, but for those who don't, it's cos we love watching movies together. We catch a movie practically every other week - and before I began working, we could even watch a movie a week! Heh. 

Our next location was at Fort Canning for the historical and cultural lovers in us. That place was scarily infested by ninja mosquitoes though, so if you ever plan on doing your shoot there, brides-to-be, please remember to bring some repellent! 

Our final location for the day was Orchard Road, in homage of the area we frequent every single week out of love for shopping, city life, and a lot of what I love about Singapore. Being in Orchard just energizes me, and it happened again yesterday - since I was feeling really down and out with the flu bug right about to blow up in my face as I was shooting and my energy levels were really low since I didn't get to eat lunch and dinner was awful. But we ended our shoot in the fountain outside Ngee Ann City and John showed me some of the sneaks from his camera, it was awesome!! :)

Crossing my fingers that the actual pics will look as lovely as I hope they will be.

In the meanwhile, I have some sneak pics here that my wonderful bridesmaid Cheryl took for me while on location. Am very thankful she could come with me and keep us company throughout the day.. And basically be my slave hurhur. But a bridemaid's job is no easy one for sure! With the gown being so heavy and rendering me rather immobile, she had to be my hands and feet a lot of the day - so I am truly thankful for that. 

Vietnam travelogue will have to wait til next post! I'm off to hang up the laundry before heading out for dinner with the boyf :)

TGIF, everybody!
