Sugar, Savoury or Spice.

Really been posting quite a lot recently. ANd it probably means that... i am in the midst of doing lesson plan. Can write only a few lines of lesson and dozens here. Guess human beings (in particular: ME) are just so shallow and self-centred. So easy to talk and ramble on about yourself. So difficult to focus on work. Perhaps its just me huh... I must admit that i do get excited and happy when i think of brillant ideas for my lessons. But getting started is quite a huge barrier. TRY TRY TRy!
Okie... some updates first...

Saturday
Was at home in the morning, trying to clear the physical mess in my room. I assure you that it is still messy. I just shifted some papers around, packed my letters abit, rearranged the containers... full-stop. And there are little ants in my room...YIKES> Didn't used to have them b4 although i used to drink beverages & biscuits in my room (I think its because my tastebuds have changed. I used to enjoy savoury stuff more. Ever since mid-autumn festival last year, I've developed a sweet tooth. Sigh... perhaps that's why i ballooned so fast also. SUGAR! Think i should try to convince my tastebuds to embrace Arnott's Shapes again...)

Then went to the gym in the afternoon- Dynamic Yoga and Combat. ( Had wanted to cancel to meet hui... so MR> what's up? Remember to update me ya? ) Anywayz... energy level a bit low... struggling to keep alive, especially during combat class haha. But still fat. So. What must i do to lose weight?!

Anywayz, went to JE to meet D after gym. There was this NS40 exhibition, we went to walk walk for a while coz D (another D- let's call him dan) was supposed to be on duty. Didn't see him anywhere coz he happened to have gone for dinner haha. Bumped into another D however (rem Des who works at MINDEF and prob don't appreciate me doubting the DXO recruitment thingy? haha) Anywayz, although both D & Des are/were S's volunteer, they have never met each other. So introduced them. Later Des, being the kay-poh and caring uncle he's always been to me sms-ed me "Nice taste, any chance to hold hands?" haha! Showed D the sms & he frowned "What do you mean nice taste?!" A compliment, funny silly D!

Dinner> went Delifrance, realised that the dinner menu looks pathetic, so went to ZingDo (Korean hotplate place) to pai1 cang1 ying2. - far from crowded although its dinner time... Wah, really ate alot loh. D had Kimchi seafood noodles, and i ordered some chicken mixed rice thingy. In addition to that, ordered chicken ginseng soup, which comes with another bowl of rice...The thing is, both D & I want to jian2 fei2... so hmmm, I'm sure that meal didn't help us both very much. And had this devastating conversation about whether running helps to jian3 fei2-
Me: Does running help to lose weight huh?
D: Yes, of coz, if you run 5km in about 30mins.
Me: HUH?!
D: Yah, only after that will your body start to burn fats. B4 that its using up carbos.

What ?! i am strugggling to run 4km within 30mins k... 5km... siao right. haha. I'll be fat forever. Anywayz... apparently the good news is, slow jog for an hour or so helps also la... but ahem.

Went back to the NS40 exhibition coz we were such fans of civil service! Yeah right. Decided to try our luck at finding Dan again la. (and also to work off a little food b4 coffee haa!) So walked around abit more to finally spot our Mr Ambassador. Walked around again. Actually quite interesting la. Left the place, went to have a cuppa at Delifrance. Go home!

Sunday
Veged out at home again...as usual... tried to do lesson plan, tried to keep my room sugar free...
Then went to have dinner @ JP swensens to celebrate mom's bday. Plan to jian3 fei2 foiled again...
Had salmon mushroom baked rice (i like =))- double chin.
Sis had chicken baked rice, mom ordered some fish dish & dad had cheesy chicken. Mom wanted ice-cream, so had this really chocolatey one. Glad that both of them enjoyed the meal alot. Guess we seldom bring them out for good food so... yep, if only they could decide where to go, we should do it more often haha

Went walking around and bought these really nice and cheap baskets for my class. Got some nice crackers and mashmallows for my kiddies too, hope they'll be enticed haha. (actually they are very easily contented la... have been offering them the same kind of gummy sweet, and they still lap it up every day...) Also went liberty market to buy some "healthy snacks". Got tomatoes and lotsa cereal (yum yum.. figured that i might as well eat healthier carbo if i MUSt eat carbo.)

A parent called me to inform that that she'll bring her child late to school tmr. And asking her how she is and stuff (She was watching Mr Bean vcd.. hah so cute. Mr Bean cartoon is quite funny btw haha!) Had this discussion with her about toilet-training her girl. Quite difficult la, coz apparently her girl will turn up her nose at dirty toilets... hmm i'm not sure whether our school's toilets are up to her standard haha! Anywayz... think i'm mentioning this because i actually feel good after talking to her. Didn't communicate very much with parents this term because i was so darn busy with NIE and also i just had inertia calling them. Fortunately, many parents are also very forgiving and understanding... they were still open about talking and discussing their children with this absent teacher...
Another reason for bringing this up... why am i always NOT doing the things that i know will make me feel good?

Now typing this out while watching the clock tick away. Lesson plan still not finished! (oops) & think I am gonna go jog abit... not alot lah, just about 5km in 30mins.
RIGHT.

Long post ya. See, see! How self-absorbed i am.
