I don't mean the Japanese Yen, I meant my brow artist, Yen Yen had left Benefit @ Tangs. The lady who did my brow has good skills too, but when it comes to attentiveness, Yen is still better.
I hope she had left for some place better!

Help!
That's the scream of my legs, back and arms. The Mega Combat is definitely one event I'm so gonna join again and again! It's so fun to do a mass workout with so many people!
The instructors were so energetic, and instructions were very clear, even a 70-yr old could follow! Because they try to do mirror image for the first timers, but I used to follow the same side, hence I was on diff sides with the rest most of the time. It wasn't until when they shout "Right" then I realised I was on the wrong side.
It was my first time joining Mega Combat, but I knew the kickboxing routine quite well, so it was quite similar except for the Taichi part, which got me really blur lah. Just any how water melon cut and catch my breathe at the same time.
I definitely going back again!
Denise Keller and the Manhunt winners joined us too, and seriously, the Manhunt winners were to pacify the ladies, coz 90% of the participants were ladies! Denise was the eye candy for the guys lor...
The emcee is cute looking too, but I forgot his name and I lost the brochure, oh well... [update: his name is Paul Foster].
Even before I start the combat, I was already half tired out by rushing from True Fitness to The Body Shop Sale and back to True Fitness to store my things. The walk itself was already 15 mins and I only had an hour. But it was good buy! Although I was still shocked at the amount. I thought it was going to be less then $80 lor. =)
Next is to train for my 21 km!!!

A healthy start!
I finally embarked on a jogging plan! So far, I've run 3 times and I am clocking more distance. It may not be much, but for someone who hasn't been moving much, I think it is a good start! If I be hard to myself, I think I will give up more easily.
As for now, I'm not focusing so much on my weight loss, but rather how much distancxe I can cover. I'm training for my 21km, so stamina is my utmost concern now. Losing weight is a bonus, although now I try to cut down my carbo to aid a little, hee hee. Still sticking to the 3 don'ts tho, 'cept that I broke the no carbo rule. It's too difficult! I have cravings during my period and I ate more than usual! So instead of depriving myself, I decided to input a little carbo during breakfast and lunch, rather than starving myself from it. Contradicting? Yes, but I think it's the best idea for now.
Anyway, when I jogged last week, with my colleague at Yishun Stadium, I ran like 3 rounds and then I gave up and started walking.so a total of 2.4km took me 30mins. -_-|||
Then on Wed, I went jogging with Min, and we covered Yishun Park. For once, I managed to pass the 4th corner before I stopped at the main entrance and started walking back. it also took me 30 mins, but this time round, the distance was a little bit more, think I ran 2km and walked 1km. Much better than the Yishun Stadium!
And today, I ran past the big drain before I stopped! That's like running for 2.4km straight! But if it was really 2.4km NAPFA run, I will fail the test coz my timing was 18 mins. Still, it was an improvement! And I even managed to drag myself to the exercise corner and did some sit-ups.
So, in conclusion, I'm definitely improving in baby steps!

Customer Service
So, as usual, I went shopping, with an ex colleague. I dropped by my favourite Topshop, the outlet at Knightsbridge, where I met the warmest SA I ever had.
After she directed me to my changing room, she just popped this sentence, "U very sexy, like me" with the matching action of showing off her body. I was amused, thought she was just being funny, u know, coz both of us were bah bah, altho I think she was sexier.
When I came out of the changing, room, she gave me a hug. I was seriously appalled and amused and happy lah. It was not a tactic to make me feel good so that I would buy anything, coz I already decided to buy the tank top after trying. She just felt really warm hearted.
This got me thinking. While most of us repelled at the ideas of foreigners infiltrating our job industries, but then, even if a Singaporean was a SA, I doubt she will be that friendly, you know. Probably only polite and attend to my requests, We do need such people to boom up our retail industry, which in turn boomed the tourism industry. They are such a joy to be with and seriously, they are super patient!
BTW, by foreigners, I mean those who do not had Mandarin as their first language.
I might look for Rosemarie when I'm back there again. =)

Clean slate
It's 1st of August.
My status as a permanent employee officially started and it's also the start to a healthier me.
I've been bullshitting many years that I want to lose weight, yes I did, but not for long, I will put back twice whatever I lost in a quarter of the time I took to lose. This time round, I'm not going to focus so much on my weight, the number, but more of the quality things I'm going to do to make myself healthy.
A strategic plan is needed to keep me focus and I'm going to do it in baby steps. Every month, I'm going to change 3 bad habits that would jeopardize my aim of of healthy me. For this month, these are the three things I'm not going to do:

- Drink sweetened liquid which includes my daily needed caffeine; I'm going to stick to plain water.
- Take the lift; Come on, 50 flights of steps a day ain't that difficult.
- No intake of fruits; I'm so going to be an apple murderer, like Jamie.
My aim is to squeeze into the 34 inches skirt I bought donkey years ago. I'm not going to set any deadline, I'm just going to let things run freely. Goals had never been my ally, so why not I try something else.
Still, it would be nice to check on my weight once a while, a little lost is a little encouragement right? But I'm not going to dump my weight here, but my BMI is 32. =(
A lot of work to be done to reach the healthy 25!
