aHH tat's WHY!

I figured it out! I know why I go to the gym. So I can eat this....

Ever so thankful for globalisation. Without it, I would not be able to get my hands on the extremely reliable, consistent, sinfully yummy taste of KFC. One can't find a half decent cup of coffee here on this exotic but under-developed island of Borneo (aka Brunei - my home for the next few years) but at least there's Fast Food to address those rare unhealthy cravings!! The only difference..... the err "kampong" chickens are kinda small here. My 2 piece feed was not enuf! Gonna get hungry tonight.

Actually have been fighting off the midnight hunger pangs quite often lately. I have no idea WHY I'm hungry even after having a big dinner, but it's the worse habit to get into. And yet I can't fall asleep if I'm hungry. Awful dilemma - every health & fitness article will advise no eating after 8pm and yet I'm munching away. The experts do not address the problem of "not being able to sleep if hungry". If they cld address tat issue, I'd be a happier gal for it!

Did It

So the day has come and gone and I achieved one thing. I found THIS black & pink gerbera blog template. I love this flower. Thanks to the designer Lena...for her many awesome templates to choose from. As I spent the day surfing for these templates, I came across an incredible world of super creative people who do this for their own enjoyment. Am impressed.

Hoping to get to the gym later this evening before the weekend officially begins. I still can't figure out what my body likes in terms of exercise. No matter how much I try, my body doesn't seem to benefit from the so-called perks of exercising. I don't sleep better, I haven't managed to reduce the circumference of my tummy in the slightest, I don't have more stamina....it's all a SCAM!!! Does anyone else feel e same?

oh well...am still sucked in and going to the gym anyway.

Nothing in particular

Hmmm... I've not had any luck in changing this template and since this is a rather un-inspiring background for any blog, I've not had too much to say. Do I really have to meddle with HTML to get a nice funky blog template?!?!

Anyway today I have a new project to work on, so don't have the usual luxury of time to enjoy. Plus it's Friday which always makes it an uphill challenge to get any work done. hehe!

A one minute random brain dump:

• - the fridge needs a major clean out - left overs from last week
• - hoping to catch up wif a friend on Skype this arvo
• - researching the Oz kitchen industry online
• - checking out the local Travel Fair after lunch in hopes of grabbing some cheap flights for next year hehe!
• - still debating on where to go in Dec...either Malacca (if we can stay at the new boutique hotel) or Cameron Highlands as a backup or maybe Langkawi?!

Well I'm lookin forward to working on our 1st DIY project ova the weekend - Jin is making me some bathroom shelves. yeah! Will post pics....IF they turn out ok :P

Losing my thoughts to the abyss.

After much thought, I decided to enter into the world of BLOGGING. Hope there's a way out should I not enjoy it :P But mostly I hope to somehow inspire (myself even!)... and share with others what I see, what I discover & learn, what I'm journeying thru and so on. I choose to simply enjoy the ride while I'm even at tis rather transitionary stage of my life. No job. New country. It's been about 10 months since these big changes have invaded my life. Well I guess tat's not entirely true... I did CHOOSE to make these changes.

Anyway I just got back from BKK and am super excited to share some of my fin

dings. Did my research (in blogs actually) and discovered a wealth of hidden gems in this great city that tend to get left out in the tourism websites. Don't miss out...the next time u head out tat way.

i) AGALICO - the website is a bit slow to load up but basically it's an amazing, picturesque tearoom with lush, green gardens to enjoy admist BKK's pollution and filth :)

www.agalico.co.th

ii) Mini Bar Royale - located on SV soi 23. Okay despite the service being rather bitchy, the food was able to make up for it.

I was an early bird, being the first to arrive at this cafe only to be shuffled to the back seat facing e toilets, cos everything was apparently reserved. How uber disappointing. Best to book ahead for a yummy brunch.

iii) Its Happened to be a Closet - yeah bad english but very successful local business/brand in BKK. Not only do the sell clothes, but have launched a cafe now that is beautifully decked out in retro sofas and unique furniture pieces. Devoured a huge slice of the coconut sponge cake there wif my coffee. Yummo. Located @ Emporium.

Hope u get to check em out!
