One husband to get my parents off my back. You should be able to umm and  ahh and solemnly shake your head over my mom's sob stories about how she gave birth to a devil like me and how you should handle me so that i can be controlled (a leash will do just fine ma), without running in the opposite direction screaming. You should be able to listen to my dad talk about a lot of things but me (dad i do feel emotion and love to talk about it) and not wonder where the heck you are. And drifting into the clouds when my parents profusely thank you for stepping down from the heavens to marry their really lost cause of a daughter will spell disater for you.  

if you can do the above we can talk price! hot meals will be included. And maybe, just maybe, i'll let you share my stash of chocolates!!

sick

]

I'm mighty thrilled with myself. Last night i was going thru my wardrobe with plans of discarding clothes that didnt fit me anymore (bought 3 - 4 yrs ago). As i was going thru them, i came across some stuff that i used to love but stopped wearing coz i didnt fit into them anymore. On a whim i decided to see if i fit into any of them. 

And what do you know I DID!!! yiippeee...i knew i'd lost weight (even though no one at home wants to acknowledge it) but heck!!! the fact that i fit into clothes that i couldnt get into even when i held my breath means i've lost more than i thought!!!

i'm quite thrilled that i can start wearing my old stuff (well they arent exactly old, were just relegated to the back coz they didnt fit). now if only i can get rid off another few kilos and i'll be happy!!

i have only a week to enjoy this feeling, coz all my relatives will be coming over the weekend and will no doubt go on about the fact that i'm fat and single and how nowadays "Good boys all want slim girls". And i have an uncle's housewarming party to attend, with a whole lot of people who will not hesitate to make snide remarks about me being single and the usual stuff!! I never realised how happy i've been since i decided not to go to any dos where there will be supposed family and friends. a year of avoiding these people, now i'm keeping my fingers crossed!

It helps that i will be out of bangalroe in the next couple of weeks!!

exhausted

]

I ready to drop down flat on my face, that is how exhausted i am. You'd think closing off and transitioning work to someone else would be easy, but nooo. i worked most of last night and am set to work into the night again today.

Need to be up and at the hospital by 8 in the morning *sigh*

Some good news tho, i lost another two kilos and have come into single digits in terms of number of kilos more to be lost. i shouldnt celebrate tho. I lost all this weight coz i havent been too well and once i get my normal appetite back, i might just it gain it all back.

This is my last weekend at my current organization, then i take a week off before starting the new job! was hoping to take a longer break but didnt manage to negotiate that. oh well!! i'm sure i'm going to miss all my friends at work but on the brighter side, i move closer to themadman's Shiok!!! that alone means i'm going to put on all the weight i lost by pigging out on yummy desserts!!

to my f-list, sorry folks i've had no time to reply to anyone's posts! 
take care everyone and have a good weekend!

at least trying to be

]

Okay! enough already! i'm not going to sit around whining about this and that, am instead going to go make myself feel better. Why did i stop baking?? that has always been like therapy for me. First of all thanks to all my wonderfull friends on LJ for listening to my mad ravings about marriage and all things sad in my life. *hugs to all u wonderful people*.

I just decided i'm gonna head home [it helps that my manager didnt come to work today, thus leaving the rest of my day deviod of meetings.] and bake myself my fav chocolate cake. This was the first thing that got me hooked onto baking and then cooking. I still clearly remember the first time i baked a cake. I was 11 yrs old, it was a rainy July day and my brother was pestering me to make him something to eat [14yrs later nothing has changed, he still pesters]. So i told him "Ok! i'm gonna bake a chocolate cake. i saw the recipe in a magazine." He of course LHAO and went and told my uncle about this. That was the first and last time my uncle and brother laughed at my cooking abilities. :-). I decided i'd share this recipe for all those who'd like to bake a cake. Its super simple, if a 11 year old could anyone can...
