Mixed vegetable, stir-fried

I am trying to stay vegan for a while.. It's quite hard sticking vegetarian and losing weight at the same time when all the substitute for meat are made of flour, potato and other carbohydrates.

But of course, I shall not despair. Giving up is never what I would do.

So far, Stir-fried mixed vegetable is my best substitute for my daily raw veggie and chicken meat.

I shall try it tomorrow.

Email from an old friend

Today I receive an email from an old friend of mine. We sat next to each other during our secondary school days. Oh, those were the days!

I remember eating so much rice and rich, food high in carbohydrates, in the very pretty canteen of my old school. They have nice fried rice(>500kcal), nice hor fun(>600kcal),, nice burgers(>300kcal),.. Now I know why I gained so much weight during my secondary school days. I also wore one of the largest uniform size.. haha.

ok, this is a very random post.
Just wanna to say that it's really nice to know that some old friends are here in little space reading my blog :)

200 Pounds Beauty

This must be another favorite movie of Big people. When I first watch this movie, I was really like the girl in the show, 200 pounds. I cried while I was watching the girl reveal her secrets in the movie. Of course, things are a little different now, but I still share the same sentiments with the girl in the movie.


Sometimes it just feel that you are no longer the same person anymore.



There is this period of time after I've shed 20kg that I felt very lost. I can no longer find "myself" in the mirror anymore. I don't feel like the person in the mirror. You might think that this is some joyous movement, but the truth is, I feel quite frightened. Like I am suddenly placed in a body that is not mine. I don't even know how to be myself anymore.



I think the ending of this movie, the part that the girl reveals her secrets, and shares her fears, really sums up my feelings.

The Sweet Scent of Rain

Just 2 months more, I will be 26.

As I look at the kids in my class today, their eager faces full of anticipation for the new life ahead of them, it suddenly dawn on me that I will never be able to share the same kind of fondness for things anymore. I feel like a candle burning away as the clock ticks, having the once many paths ahead vanishing one after another. And I am just being pushed forward to whatever that lies ahead of me.

I can't point out what but something has definitely gone amiss. Nothing really interest me any longer. Wherever I go, I feel out of place. Moments of happiness does not linger, and disappointments are prolonged. I should do something, but yet so far, nothing is bad enough for me to start on anything, nothing is good enough for me to love it either. The best way is to keep status quo.

Really, I shouldn't be making any complaints. Cuz I am blessed in a sense that even though Sire Life always makes things difficult, he also never fail to leave me with some form of hope and help. I would like to think that each disaster is actually a blessing in disguise. Things do turn around, and they could be far worse than I ever imagine.

The last time I feel a moment of serene is inside a restaurant tucked along one of the less busy streets in town. Slipping my cup of chamomile, listening to a friend speaks, and observing people on the street. I have already forgotten how I got through this busy term and what happened this morning, but I could still remember the sweet scent of after the rain that afternoon.
