Porridge and The Factory

Now Photobucket has made editing of photos a reality. I wanted to enhance some of my photos but still lazy to. :D Gonna wait ill I have time!

I can finally feel my upper thigh having better control of my lower thigh! Standing on one leg on an air cushion  in physiotherapy session helps! The air cushion serves as a uneven ground for me to grasp better control of my balance. Went scouting for the air cushion 2 days after my recent therapy, thought it was a pretty good investment. Yeah! My mood has accelerated after the rate of recovery became higher and of course when I decided not to wallow in self-pity any longer. I realised the more I pity myself, the more emotionally hurt and discouraged I got. Just when I finally thought I am improving a month back, the injury recurred. I twisted my right knee in a weird angle, making everything became upsetting and negative. I lost faith in physiotherapy and every possibility that I may recover in the future. :( However when the pain eased after a few days, I cheered up and forced myself to go on to the next stage of strengthening my upper thighs. And now finally, I walk with minimal pain and almost no limp. Hoping for a complete recovery in no time! Do you pity yourself sometimes too? I am always guilty of that. Lol. You are stronger than you think k! The mental is always more powerful than the physical or the emotions. Just remember that ya!




I have been mad about porridge ever since the porridge at Xin Wang hooked me to it.






The minced meat porridge in Xin Wang while waiting for our movie! Since then the taste still lingers in my mind. :D







I took leave last Friday, and had a long satisfying weekend although I went back to visit mice on National Day morning and the security guard commented that he pitied us, the researchers. The Friday leave was intended for me to stay at home, watch some videos and try starting on the "Results and Discussion" part of the Research Paper writing but Jun Wen dragged me out of the house with the sole reason that it is ridiculous to take leave just to do some more work. He was absolutely right about this. LOL. I can't believe myself sometimes. How on earth did I think of that lame plan for my leave day? In replacement of my initial plan, we chilled in the Cheesecake Cafe for 1.5 hour as I couldn't finish my Rum & Raisins Cheesecake. Jun Wen took the chance to take a nap on the sofa (LOL. Very embarrassing I know.) while I nibbled off the cheesecake. He refused to finish it for me since he was wary of me taking every chance to make him fatter.

Anyway, back to the porridge subject. The weekend after the Friday leave, Simba took me to Ah Seah Teochew Porridge, a eating house 2 stops away from where I live. Was supposed to be on a diet but Simba tricked me into having dinner. He wasn't very pleased that I would eat alot lesser than before just to lose some pounds. His reason was that I shouldn't resist myself so much that I feel less happy over it. Well.. Although he always gives good reasons that usually make me no longer able to defend myself, but I really would like to stick to my dieting plans. PLEASE JW PLEASE!





Well.. He did give in a little. He ordered 2 vegs, 1 egg and 1 meat.
The whole place was so crowded! It must have been famous for sometime!
But I still miss the Xin Wang's porridge.



Saw "The Factory" cafe near us and went there for ice-cream. The cafe owner was amicable. What I really love about her is that she has a style of her own. I always like artistic people and she is one of those! She would urge you to try out every ice-cream flavour.




I had a single scoop of Vanilla Nutty Bean.
Messy hair and crossed eye. Lol.
Now, I have to find excuses not to go out with JW until I lose weight.






He had Caramel Macademia ice-cream with Bailey Chocolate Ganache topping.
An array of magazines were displayed neatly on a stand, all free for browsing. Of course, I couldn't waste the chance to read as many as I could to save money on magazines. Very cheapo I know!








He took my Female magazine to read. Lol. He also developed an interest in browsing fashionable bags.

A competition has started between both of us. "The Biggest Loser" would be the winner. The person who can lose back to his/her original weight wins. :D
I hope I can be the Biggest Loser in 2 months! Wish me luck!
