One Step Closer

Friday, June 27, 2008

ZOMG I feel like I am one step closer to my dream ( :

I just got a job- this time one I truly love. It's so perfect for me it's so unbelievable, I feel its like too good to be true!!

A VEGAN BAKERY I freaking have a job helping this really awesome lady with her baking business :D

She makes wholesale vegan goods and sells them to Whole Foods in NJ. I went in for my first day today and I did a lot of prep work. Slightly mundane but I don't care. Baking just makes me happy :P I peeled maybe like 50 carrots and grated 4 gallons worth. And I also peeled maybe 100 bananas and pureed them all.

And I made this delish icing. She gave me a sample of her Banana Walnut Cake with Coconut Agave icing. <3 <3 <3 It's so good... I ate so much of it and Dad loved it too!

I can't wait to do the actual baking next week ( : It's so great for me to see how owning a vegan business really is. Hopefully I can do that someday!

Life is Hard without the WWW

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

Internet has been out for the past few days. On lucky nights like this, I manage to tap into someone's unsecured network.

Some silly person cut our cable wires so NO TV NO INTERNET. Us, modern and technologically-dependent people find it very hard to survive without the addicting WWW

My Dad & I have just been going to Yee's house to use her wireless. Starbucks doesn't even offer free WIFI wtf!

Today after class went to Walmart to buy lots of 100 calorie packs and protein bars for Nikki.

Yesterday there was a BeatlesFest in Clinton town. They closed main street so a 'Beatles' band could play. They weren't bad. I'm not completely familiar with their songs, but the lead singer was pretty good. It was a hot sweaty day despite weather predictions of gloomy thunderstorms.

Before that, I was in Franklin Park for a fundraiser lunch. It was extremely casual and laid back. We played Taboo... mmm not my favorite game because I honestly end up going UMMMMM for 50 seconds of the allocated 60 seconds. Lol.

Today I went for a walk around the estate. Very.. peaceful. I like walks. Clears my head and frees my mind from certain troubles.

On Facebook, Pieces of Flair is the newest application to replace Bumper Stickers. Though BS is like the original, PoF is really fun too.

Ummmm oh yah time to do my nightly workout because I am fat and flabby.

Oh and I want to get a blender so badly. I suddenly have this smoothie-attraction after having a soy smoothie at Amazon Cafe in EB mall. Like I can just imagine having a smoothie everyday for breakfast. I am kinda sick of the cereal-soymilk routine. I can also imagine stealing bunches of bananas from the dining hall next year, and blending up some smoothies in my room. Yummers.

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

Friday, June 20, 2008

Sighh I was looking back at my old pictures from LBI
I WANNA BE SKINNY AGAIN ) :

But the only way I can think of going back is to like, starve myself again. Which I don't want to go back to. Wasn't a good time.

Right now I'm exercising and eating well and stuff, but that's not making me skinny. In fact my face is so fat now I can't see my dimples anymore. My dimples just look like freaking cellulite on my face

Breathe Me

I would love to do a lyrical dance to this. I can picture it in my head.

Breathe Me by Sia
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Reason, Season or Lifetime

Sunday, June 15, 2008

One of my sisters posted this on Facebook and I love it.
I'm like classifying people in my head into Reason, Season or Lifetime lol

"People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON...It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. Sometimes they die. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Your need has been answered, and now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON...It is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant."

******

Anyway, today was Father's Day.
I woke up at 8 am to bake cos we were supposed to have a brunch party at Yee's place. Then she texted me around 9 to say it was canceled and we were having dinner instead. So I woke up bright & early for nothing. No matter!

Gave me more time to bake ( :
I baked three things:
#1. raspberry coffee cake from the ppk
#2. mini carrot cake cupcakes with icing
#3. maple flax chocolate brownies from la dolce vegan

( :
turned out pretty good
according to jia's ratings: brownies were the best, then carrot cupcakes then raspberry coffee cake

i almost did not bring the cupcakes over cos i thought they were really bad! well the texture was kinda weird when i ate them fresh out of the oven.

but in the evening they set a bit (after some refrigeration) and they tasting much better! yay. lucky i brought them. lay yee, mich yee & mei loved them a lot! i loveee baking but it's gonna make me FAT and ruin my summer weight loss plans if i bake all summer

i ate so much today cos i kept sampling my goods and eating baking batter (mind you its totally safe to eat raw vegan batter because it has NO FREAKING EGGS so no salmonella)

speaking of salmonella... stay away from tomatoes!

This is fun for nutrition-wackos like me
Food Encyclopedia by Prevention
:D

Anyway woke up late today for the first time in many days. Went to Panera for lunch. Yummy yummy in my tummy.
Their new summer Strawberry Poppyseed Salad is delsih. The dressing is fat free but still delish. Pecans, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple & mandarin oranges on lettuce ( : Ideal salad!

and i love their baguettes. bread carbs come to me but leave my thighs, tummy & arms alone!

after that we went to kohls to look for random things, then borders. was tempted to buy every vegan cookbook but i held back cos firstly i can get them cheaper on amazon (where i got most of my books) and secondly i have so many that i haven't touched. i just like buying them and seeing them on my shelf ( :

i am to eventually collect ALL VEGAN BOOKS- cookbooks or guides or musings. ( :

went to walmart after to get some groceries and home goods. weird to see the people who i used to work with still there.

Monday, June 09, 2008

went back to rutgers yesterday!
aww i miss it so much
even though the weather was disgustingly hot & humid
has been over 100F the past few days and will be for at least another two days
heat wave eww

anyway did adopt-a-highway in the morning with some sisters ( : just some community service. picking up litter on the highway that people never notice is dirty anyway cos they're traveling like 70 mph. do you really think they'll notice a strewn dunkin donuts coffee cup?

and cars were honking cos we were a bunch of asian girls were by the highway bending down to pick up trash and wearing bright orange vests as if we were offenders. lol

after that went back to sayu's house with kaori to get ready. showered, straightened my hair. lol i seriously need a new hair straightener- i.e the PINK limited edition CHI or the miracle glide. both are over $120 but <3
i know my hair is permed and its horrible to force it straight but i like my hair straight for special occasions.

anyways went for the douglass photoshoot after with kappas! omg i was getting SO impatient cos it was SO fugging hot and everyone was sweating like mad. and the photographer kept wanting MORE AND MORE pictures. yoww. whatever hope the pics turn out nice at least. my smile was probably really forced lol

after than went to get bubble tea with some sisters and met some lambdas then we went to their house to chill for a while before daddy hurried me home

ooh can't wait till i can just stay at rutgers the whole dayyy in july. and not have to worry about someone picking me up cos by then i WOULD FREAKING HAVE THE VOLVO to myself ( :

no more diet pop!

Friday, June 06, 2008

omgomgomg i looked at my buttocks in the mirror today and i saw massive amounts of cottage cheese skin!
aka CELLULITE
the bane of all women

okay its so fucking disgusting looking, i could puke looking at my thighs/butt whereever there is cellulite. i think i saw it on my side tummy too

i want to get rid of it. i've been doing toning exercises and what not but they don't really seem to be working

i did some research and LO AND BEHOLD GUESS WHAT I FOUND OUT
FUCKING DIET SODA CAUSES CELLULITE
i dunno something to do with the fizziness and caffeine
that also means coffee is BAD and anything fizzy is bad
and the best remedy is to drink LOTS & LOTS of water. it 'detoxes' and flushes out and something to do with ur tissues

no wonder i never used to have cellulite cos firstly i was so fucking skinny. but before i was skinny when i was fatter i never really drank soda and i never drank coffee and i think i drank quite a lot of water. but those were st nicks days i drank a lot of ice milo, ice tea & soursop juice too lol

okay whatever summary: i'm gonna CHUG WATER from now on. maybe if i get a nice pink waterbottle i will feel more motivated to drink H20

i'll try it for like a month. i need all the control in the world cos i'm rather addicted to diet pop. shittttzahhh

if this month of 'detox' doesn't work (lets see 6th july?) i'll be like fuck that i'm chugging diet orange soda (my fave :O )

mirrors & cameras & clinton

Thursday, June 05, 2008

I hid my mirror in my big (new) closet because i can't really stand looking at it. It makes me depressed. ewwyyy. I use it to apply make up and that's it.

I want Gerry's SLR cammmerrraaa so coool.

Anyway I am all moved in into my new home now in CLINTON. Lol I was just musing how I stayed in Whitehouse Station, moved to Clinton which is right next to Washington. Born to be President, moi?

Daddy is here for this month of June. Then I'll be living alone. Kinda excited actually. As long as I have sufficient GAS & GROCERY funds, I think I'll be find. If I can food shop all I want, but all the organic stuff I want without Daddy complaining I am not buying necessities... tskk

Getting a new car SOON. Probably by the end of this week. Volvo S40, Black- in many ways not my ideal car.
#1. Not hot flaming pink
#2. No heated seats so I'll freeze at the wheel in the winter
#3. Not fuel efficient enough- not a hybrid

But its fine as long as I can move from point A to point B without the car breaking down, I'm good

Memorial Day Weekend

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

It was Memorial Day this past weekend.

Went up to the Poconos with Yee Yee & Co. for the weekend.
On Saturday we drove up, dropped Yee Cheong & Ry at golf
Then Kev, Yee & I went to various little places- local farmer market run by Amish people ooooh, flea markets. But it was way too COLD. The wind was so strong no one wanted to stay out long
Not long after we headed back to start to prepare dinner. And just chill around.
The deck is actually shielded from the wind so I managed to sit out and tan a little.
Dinner, movie, cantaloupe yumm.

Sunday morning- had a delish breakfast of hash & cantaloupe & strawberries & cherries.
Went to the lake to kayak for about an hour.
Went around the whole lake for once. I usually just make it around half way
The wind was against me every direction I turned, grrr.
Good exercise for my muscle-less arms lol.
Headed back to clean up the house then went to Terra Cottage for lunch. Really yummy homey food.
Drove back...

Monday was Memorial Day itself.
Woke up to yummy congee
Went to Ry's band performance at the nearby park.
HOT DAY. HOT SUN.
After that came back and tanned, ate watermelon, the classic summer staple
Helped to prepare what was to be a sample dinner that turned into a feast.
(Ribs and sausage), large salad of field greens, tangerines, cranberries, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, walnuts & almonds, grilled zucchini & romaine, sweet potatoes, pasta with garlic tomato sauce, broccoli with garlic olive oil.
Yumm my vegan influence- only one meaty dish.

Today. Class started again. Oh chem.
Lab... tedious and rather boring but whatev I'm coping I guess
Came back and had some lunch, worked out a little...
Went with Mei & Yee to get my nails done. Did a really pale pale pink. So it looks like a french manicure without the tip. LOL really re-re
Went to Red Lobster to it and I did not have much choice. It is a SEAFOOD RESTAURANT after all.
But the manager was uber nice and created a dish for me
Pizza crust with tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms and basil.
Plain, wholesome, natural, delish!
And I had a salad with walnuts, green apple, sun dried tomatoes and peppers

9:01 PM

I started taking summer classes at RVCC- CHEMISTRY
My evil evil enemy that killed me during A levels
It's been okay so far. But I foresee it getting harder
I'm just praying it's easier here in the US than in Singapore
I feel like I'm learning the concepts better here than I ever did in St Nicks/ NJC
Maybe it's not necessarily true that education is always better in Singapore
Or perhaps Singapore schools teach too fast before making sure students secure a good foundation- cos' there are some re-res like me around who need more time in figuring out how to calculate stupid stoichiometry thingamajigs

American Idol FINAL is on now. Did not follow this season but I know its between one little baby high school musical to-be boy- David Archuleta, and another more mature looking David Cook who is rather good looking. Both have O-K voices.

Let's see what else have I done over the past few days... I worked out on the elliptical yesterday & today! Finally decided to start exercising again. Feels good. I want to get rid of some of that flabbyflabby disgusting-ness and orange-peel skin for the SUMMER. Bathing suit weather!!

Love my cakezzz <3

Narnia

Sunday, May 18, 2008

I watched The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian today

It was pretty good but I didn't watch the first one so that might be a reason but I know the story I read the book!

Anyway I am so in love with King Peter. He is soooo cute. Me & my little British Boy crushes ( :

He's got abs yo! Although not spectacular, but at least he's not a skinny-and-way-too-fair-omg-need-a-tan boy

He has really gay hair though.

The sword fight scene was ooohlala

Summer Day Two

Friday, May 16, 2008

BORING. It was raining all day today. Still is, actually.

Woke up, had lunch.. What's new? Haha.

Watched 27 Dresses online. Cute movie, very 'awwww'-ish. But I like sweet stuff I'm a sucker for that.

Pretty much all I did. Did not even exercise ewww. Lazy fatty.

Ohhh just helped Yee Yee cook some dinner.
Pan Seared Tofu with Mushroom "Oyster" Sauce
3-Japanese Mushroom Saute with White Wine and Parsley

It's really simpler than it sounds.

Summer Day One

Thursday, May 15, 2008

I guess I have the whole summer to blog my life away

I woke up like 12.30 ish. Ate lunch.
Tried to sneak into Health Quest with Mei, but the bitch lady at the front desk did not let us in. BOOSLUT

So we decided to come home to exercise on our own. I just walked around the block. I'm sleepy now. Ate more pasta after. MMM CARBZZZZ

I've been on the computer (not mine cos' mine fucking broke) the rest of the day. Mostly on BUMPER STICKER on Facebook- only like the best application every. Nat hearts bumper sticker ( :

I am now hugging my favorite alternative down 'sharp corner' blanket. And rubbing the corner of course.

I've also been looking at Web 2.0 applications and exploring them. Interesting summer ahead? I dunno haha

Left RUTGERS yesterday I miss it! I miss Ashley Hot Muffin Azn Boobies Vu, Vi Roomie (ex) Nguyen, Jennifer Bunny Fung, Jerica Eco and many many others ) :

Anyway it's finals period now. Everyone is studying like MAD. I am taking it kinda slow cos I only have 2 exams on Wednesday. I still have four full days to prepare. But I don't wanna be complacent though!!

History & Greenhouse Effect blah whatever.
I can't believe my freshmen year is almost over. That went by quick.
I like the summer but I kinda want school to just go on cos' I really like being in college around all my friends and stuff.

I enjoy my freedom yknow.
In the summer I gotta WORK eewwww. I mean that is IF I get a job!

How much Davidson sucks:
Water pipes broke
Corridors flooded with brown disgusting water
Seeped through the carpet into my room
Fire alarm went off for no reason
Emergency alarm went off cos some dude tried to open the emergency door
No hot water
No heat for tonight
Housing had to bring in a bunch of space heaters
Power went out.
[Hot water came back now]
