Jan-chan’s Tidbits

So last week I went to the gym to get an orientation on how to use the machines. The trainer (or staff as they call him) was nice enough to work out a routine for me and Al. I told him I wanted to shape up since I’ve been a chair potato after I graduated from university. Plus I mentioned that I’m getting married next year. Once he heard that he was grinning, “Oh you’re one of those…” So I guess I’ve just joined the many other “must get fit and slim down” bride to be. Continue reading »

Ok before people start chewing my head of about this whole dieting thing (yes, I’m talking about you Chu), let me tell you the things that have steered me into joining this weight loss bandwagon.

Post-Winter Syndrom

So after pigging out during Christmast, New Year and Chinese New Year, the weight of the food finally started to sink in. Yes, my stomach is a bit…behind in schedule. I used to not eat the skin from the roasted pork but I’ve been doing that and now I sort of regret it (but they tasted sooooo gooooood). Also, since summer is coming and Al’s been bugging me to get a swimsuit (he bugs me like every summer but I never got one, haha), I think it’s time to slim down a bit. Continue reading »

Alright here is the picture of my glasses as promised. And here’s a photo of the side with the little sparkle thingie I was talking about in the earlier post. Continue reading »

Well CNY is almost over (or maybe it is over, I forgot how many days the celebration lasts) but Valentine’s Day is almost here. I’ll be making the lasagna and the cake earlier so I don’t have to fuss over it after work on Thursday. A little nervous as I haven’t really cooked for Al’s family but meh, if they don’t like it, it’s even better. That means I won’t have to cook for them…again. :3

Anyways, a few interesting thing had happened since the start of February. Continue reading »

Ok the title might be a bit misleading. It should probably say gossiping at the office. Oh wait, it’s not really gossips either, it’s more like chatting with a few friends about…everything that you don’t think would come up in an office environment.

Since last week, MK, Al, WuWu and I have been doing conference chatting on MSN. Since all of us have access and instead of relaying information, it’s much faster this way. I think it all started when we were talking about my blog post on bra shopping. From there we moved on to breasts, girls, weddings, education, employment, investments, money…etc. The reoccurring theme seems to be about WuWu’s hair (or lack of) since it keeps popping up in every topic we talked about. It’s kind of nice to have chats like this. It really lets me get to know the person better through learning about their views on things. However, I don’t think chats like this can happen IRL, at least not with these guys, as they might feel awkward talking about stuff like that with a female; whereas online, at least they don’t have to see my reaction.

Lately there’ve been a lot of stuff on my mind. Work have picked up also with up coming conferences that needs a lot of ironing. Hopefully after March things will quiet down again. Also I’m very excited since February’s almost here! Chinese New Year + Valentine’s Day + Birthday all in one month!
