I don't know about you, but I'm always up for a good comedy show! I'm pretty sure these names are of no stranger to most of you ; and what I love about them is that, it doesn't matter where you're from or what you do but there's that thing that will surely unite us all - LAUGHTER! :) </div>

It is the first of its kind in Malaysia, "Laugh Die You" will bring the best of comedy from Malaysia and Singapore on ONE stage. Quite a battle, I must say. I look forward to see who's gonna bring home the victory cup (if there's one :P). You'll be witnessing our very own Malaysian stand-up comedian, Douglas Lim take on Singapore's "motormouth queen", Kumar! If you're not sure or haven't heard of Kumar then you'll have to first watch this video. This was my first encounter with Kumar (after stumbling upon him on Youtube) and I've always wanted to watch him LIVE! </div>

A show like on other, this highly anticipated show will be hosted by the very hilarious Mr. Phua Chu Kang himself, Gurmit Singh. The 2 and a half hours comedy show will also feature home-grown stand-up comedian, Rizal van Geyzel. </div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
"It is going to be a fantastic comedy show. It will showcase a distinctive taken on Malaysia vs. Singaporean comedy. Be prepared as well to be entertained by the best in Singapore, JB and some say even Batam", said Gurmit Singh. </h3>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's Phua Chu Kang with one of our favourite Malaysian comedian, Harith Iskandar. I could see where this is going already, Douglas and Rizal will surely do a good job representing Malaysia. I'm so stoked! :) </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just a little background, "Laugh Die You" is a direction translation of a Cantonese phrase, "siu sei lei", which simply means "to laugh until you die". The show is expecting at least 4000 Malaysians to fill its venue which will definitely include me! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lucky you if you're reading this before the 31st of March because early birds get a 15% discount (for VIP and GOLD only). For those who are travelling from afar, fret not because Seri Pacific Kuala Lumpur is providing a discounted rate of RM340nett (normal rate: RM 638nett) upon prior booking and proof of ticket purchase. </div>

Mostly, about life.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's the 9th day of 2015 and I asked myself, "Yo Maggy. How much have you done to make your dreams into reality? Have you been slacking? Have you worked on yourself enough?". You see, I am quite a dreamer. I dream big and I believe you do too. There are so many things that I want to achieve, and at the same time .. there are so many other factors that are kind of making me feel fearful to take that ONE step. And also, when procrastination takes over.. that's it, the rest of the day is gone. Let's be realistic here, nobody hustles and grinds 24/7? There are times when you just kind of shuts down.. But if you don't, please drop me a comment. I would love to meet you! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
*******************************************</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm turning 23 years old this year. Stepping into adulthood is quite a huge step, and it's pretty dang scary. I'm not talking about one's mentality nor emotional stability of being an adult, but the technicality aspects of it. YES, I'll have bills to pay and real responsibilities to hold. Money, of course comes into play. I'll need to start looking for jobs and make sure I can survive with food on the table, and a home to live in. Yes, that kind of responsibility. I'm not saying I don't now, but the fact that I'm going further into my 20's ... just kind of scares me a little bit. Honestly, that JUST hit me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A voice in my head just went, "Dude, you're turning 23 this year. What have you achieved? What are you doing with your life?" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't want to be brutal to myself but some questions ... just gotta be asked, just so you can seek the answers in the voyage of life. Truth is, everybody's outlook on life is different. I'm just gonna break it down into 3 simple stories. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A somebody, let's name him Bob. So, Bob goes out drinking every (other) night and as long as he gets his alcohol and time to spend with his friends, he's happy. Everything else don't really matter. In other words, his life goal is to just be happy and happiness to him means alcohol and friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then we have Tom. He works out every (other) day, and needless to say.. he has a sizzling hot body. To him, as long as he looks good and can maintain his physique until he's 60, he's happy. So, for him.. happiness equals to healthy physique. Everything else is secondary. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, we have Wayne. Wayne has bigger dreams than the other two. Parties, alcohols and physique don't matter. Money does. As for Wayne, he won't be contented with life until he has become a millionaire. So for him, happiness equals to MONEY. WHOLE LOTTA EM! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So we have BOB, TOM & WAYNE ; all three with their very own perspectives on life. What happiness equals for them ; are all very individualistic. Of course, I simplified em for the purpose of this post. I mean, you get my picture; my point was to prove how people can have different viewpoints of life and hence! So, what's your kind of happiness? Or do you not need happiness to feel accomplished in life? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8qTkdWU2ZT4/VK63BJPywbI/AAAAAAAAJnM/LvjYj5Fxi_U/s1600/X3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8qTkdWU2ZT4/VK63BJPywbI/AAAAAAAAJnM/LvjYj5Fxi_U/s1600/X3.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've never been this personal in my posts before, but I guess.. no harm sharing my thoughts and views. At this point of my life, I would think success = happiness. I'm sure this is applicable to many of you too. Question is, what's your degree of success and what kind of success are you looking at? MY kind of success would be having the 'big break' in my career and being able to do what I love doing (which is kind of obvious with all the #ilovemyjob hashtags on my Instagram). I don't know when that would be, neither do I know if it's going to happen at all.. but all I can do is keep trying. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"What if I fall? Oh my darling, what if you FLY?" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's what kept me going. I won't elaborate so much on that today.. but I will come back with a PART 2, when I've achieved this one goal that I'm aiming at. I know you don't know what it is, but this serves as a little reminder for me to keeping pushing and get it done. I will reveal in due time! :) I'm taking baby steps everyday to get towards where I want to be, there are times I feel demotivated, there are times I feel like giving up and there are times I question myself (such as tonight.. which led me to writing this pretty lengthy post).. but I guess we all go through that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i2V_o2KlRzY/VK63AAMXp_I/AAAAAAAAJnE/8RqEJt1au6Q/s1600/X%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i2V_o2KlRzY/VK63AAMXp_I/AAAAAAAAJnE/8RqEJt1au6Q/s1600/X%2B.jpg" height="640" width="442" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And all you need is a little reminder and a little push. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, think about it. What's your goal in life? Are you doing enough to get it done? Are you pushing yourself enough to make your dreams come true? It's only the 9th day 2015. What I love about the New Years is that it gives your the sense of renewal, to forget the painful past and start all over again. Time is still on our side, so... tonight, before going to bed.. think about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And when you wake up, DO IT! I'll do the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've always been a firm believer in the phrase "beauty is skin deep" and it really does hold so much truth to it! I mean, let's put it this way.. no matter how great your make-up products are, they are merely covering up the flaws (mostly temporarily) and by the end of the day, you're back to having bad skin! Hence why I am always investing in my skincare products. </div>

For me personally, I've tried and tested all sorts of skin care regime, from skin juice cleanse to skin laser treatments. My final verdict? Going back to basics. It's just like building a beautiful architectural building. No matter how much crazy designs you have in your head, you have to first lay the bricks and get the foundations right. Same goes to our skin. Having a healthy and glowing skin does take a whole lot of effort. Even those you see on TV/magazines are often airbrushed and photoshopped, so don't beat yourself up ladies. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Face Mapping invitation with Dermalogica got me all excited. Although I've always kind of known my face problems; I've never really had a proper skin examination before. The invitation came just in time! Thank you DIPPED ROW! </div>

So, I met up with the Founders of Dipped Row, Azura (middle) and Karina (right) before headed to Aster Spring in Bangsar Shopping Centre. We were greeted by the Dermalogica team and of course, our bubbly therapist, Jessie who was absolutely fun to be around with! Once we arrived, we got down to serious business right away. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Jessie examined our face thoroughly with her face scanner and pointed out our key problems for each and everyone of us. My problem area was around my nose and forehead (some block pores), Azura's was dehydrated skin while Karina had some sensitive and redness to her skin. Soon after the skin analysis, Jessie co-ordinated a set of key products for each of us, accomodating to our skin problems. We were all given a form (which we can take home), and of course we get to try out all the products that were allocated for us based on our skin's needs. </div>

This product was my personal favourite! The <b>DAILY MICROFOLIANT</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So basically it works as a 'face scrub', but because it has very fine microgranules, it's not harsh on the skin and therefore, it's okay for everyday use! I am a total sucker for face scrubs ; I have the tendency to scrub my face every single day! What I love about this product is that, it actually comes in a powdery form. So if you want your "scrub" to be more diluted, just add more water and vice versa! I call it the versatile face scrub. HAHA! Apparently this product has received tons of great reviews worldwide and was even featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show too! </div>

Say hello to Jessie, our super chatty therapist guiding us through the Face Mapping session, step by step from pre-cleansing, exfoliating, toning, moisturizing to eye care! Boy oh boy, that's a whole lotsa step to having great skin eh? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was definitely an eye-opening experience and I sure did take home a few skincare tips from Jessie! Basic thumb rule: CLEANSE, TONE and MOISTURIZE. That's the three most basic skincare regime that you should never ever skip! (Though I must admit that I sometimes forget the 'toning' part :P) </div>

Thank you Dermalogical for these goodies! Love love love them! They were generous enough to gift me such a huge bottle of cleanser; my skin can't thank you enough! And I've also been using the eye serum every now and then and it sure helps in hydrating and nourishing my undereye area. So much love :)<br />

<br /></div>
Big thank you to the ladies from DIPPED ROW and also Dermalogica for having me! That's us sans make-up, still glowing and looking ever radiant! Who says you can't look good without make-up? Secret is no secret anymore, time to invest in your skincare products!<br />
<br />
Ladies, if you're by any chance around Bangsar Shopping Centre ; I would suggest you drop by Aster Spring for the Dermalogica Face Mapping session. It's FREE and only takes 30 minutes of your time. It's gonna be well worth it, trust me ;)<br />
<br />
Remember, natural beauty is the best kind of beauty!<br />
<br />
Till then!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tough times are never easy to endure, but always remember "tough times don't last, tough people do". </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having said that, this year has been quite a difficult year for me personally. From one mishap to another, from one fall to another; I must say that I am actually very very glad that the year is coming to an end. Well, it is all being a part of life, isn't it?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite the bad times, there are some pretty wonderful memories that are worth keeping too. Now that I'm bidding 2014 goodbye, I must confess that I've had my fair share of good (and bad) encounters, met some really amazing people, kissed a few frogs (pun intended), took some risks, and most importantly .... I learnt a whole lot! Those are definitely lessons that I'll bring with me for the rest of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm definitely not the same person that I was when I welcomed 2014. To those who has been a part of my 2014, thank you for the memories! I'm definitely keeping #mygoldencircle close to my heart and to those who has hurt and disappointed me - well, thank YOU too. "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" (cannot agree more!) and I'm glad I'm so much stronger now than ever before. Nonetheless, I wish you well! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Anyway, here's a recap of my 2014!<br />

I have decided that I will continue to blog (yes, I had thoughts of shutting my blog down prior to this). But this time, I will be focusing a whole lot on Project #movewithmaggy ; I'm really excited to embark on this journey that I've been working on. </div>

Have a wonderful year ahead and I'll see you again in 2015!<br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">It is my favorite time of the year and definitely
the time where most people would have to scout for gifts and presents! As much
as I love the Christmas season, buying gifts can sometimes give me quite a
headache. But one thing for sure, jewelries and pretty pendants can never go
wrong for the ladies! Now, gentlemen, you can thank me later! ;)</span></div>

Collection with a wide range of jewelry in an assortment of colorful precious
materials. You’ll get to choose from a wide range of pendants, necklaces,
bangles, earrings and rings tastefully-tempered from white, yellow, and rose gold,
adorned with diamonds and mother of pearl for that extra sparkle!</span></div>

a kind, and I absolutely love their different themes; from Multiple Joy,
Boundless Bliss, Little Treasures, Mickey Magic to Twinkling Ribbons! Each
collection has their very own unique design and styles, one isn’t comparable to
the other. My personal favourite would be the Multiple Joy and Boundless Bliss!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

collection that features the CROSS as it has special meaning to me. I thought
the size was of the perfect size (especially for us girls), and the diamonds
adds on the extra touch to it. Also mostly because I’ve been looking for a
perfect cross pendant for myself; and I found it! I couldn’t pick one from
these three, which one do you think suits me best? ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

attention, the <b>Mickey Magic</b> also did
bring out the inner child in me! I’ve always remembered having a Mickey pendant
when I was a kid, looking at these right now sure did relive my childhood for a
short bit. These are also perfect for those who have always been a Disney’s
fan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I’m not sure where to start. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I’ve collected over 10 drafts in “Maggy Writes” folder and
none gets published. None. Most of the time I’d write and pour my heart out,
but after letting the drafts sit in for a couple of days; they usually end up
in the folder for another donkey years. In other words, NOT ’PUBLISHABLE.’ If
that word even exist. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This year, in particular has been a full on roller coaster
ride. From January till March, then May.. and it went on till June, July… and
now October. I honestly thought my streak of ‘bad luck’ would end in August.
NOPE, I was completely wrong and it caught me off guard again! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Seriously though, when life throws shit at you; over and
over and over again.. you just get so numb with the pain, that you eventually won’t
give a shit anymore. Mind my language here but really. You’ll be so jaded that
if life is going to give you anymore shit, you could (pretty literally) just
take it and mould it into something less.. shitty. I’m not sure if that made
sense, but yes. You get the drift. </div>

But then again, such is life. There’s always going to be
another mountain, somebody better than you, somebody that’s in a way worse
situation than you, after one comes another and it’s going to be an uphill
battle. And what do you do? You fight, you fight and you fight. You fight for
your life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I’ll never forget
this one phrase I got from a pastor early this year “If God leads you to it, He
will lead you through it”. I guess, God DID give me heads up. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Well, if I look on the brighter side. At least I have a story to tell. A pretty juicy one too! ;) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And as you go on and live life... you'll meet people. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some would come into your life and stay for that little while; and when it's time they leave, let them. If they want to stay in your life, they would make the effort. Some would guide you, some would lead you, some would hurt you, and some would want to love you (and you too, would gladly return the love). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some would hurt you so bad that you would spend weeks, or maybe months trying to get over the fact they're no longer a part of your life. But God always have His reasons for bringing these people into your life; to teach you a lesson, to wake you up, and to make you realize. And someday, you would look back and gladly say "I'm glad that happened". Trust me, if you're enduring or mourning for the loss of that someone right now.. my advice would be; embrace the pain because you need to go through this phase. But one day, you'll have to wake up and tell yourself "It is time to start anew!". </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once you find the courage to do that, amazing things will start happening to you. It might not happen immediately, but it will. I've honestly never been this happy in my life. It's simple, but I'm contented. I don't have a lot, but I have enough. I don't have a gazillion of friends, but I have a handful whom I truly love and trust. That to me, is more than enough. Sometimes in life, we ourselves tend to complicate the simplest things. IT IS WHAT IT IS. Remember, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
"Everything happens for a reason; right person, right time and always for the best reason" </h3>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not sure if you've seen my latest video on my recent elimination from Miss Astro Chinese International Pageant 2014. Yes, rejection sucks. Being called "FAT" and "OBESE" sucks. Truth be told, all the criticisms I got hurt my confidence pretty badly. But what can I do? Cry over spilt milk? Complain? Badmouth whoever that threw those words at me? NOPE. I mean, sure.. I do have the option to make a video and rant and complain about everything that happened.. probably the easy way out to release my anger but, I would much rather channel my anger into something better. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Something that could also perhaps spark inspiration in others. Something that could perhaps make others feel that they are not alone, and that I, too am going through the same. I won't elaborate too much on this topic; perhaps in my next video, or blogpost. But if you haven't seen the video, check it out! :)<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I’m pretty sure this conglomerate is no stranger to us all.
Even more so if you’re a Malaysian. I, myself have been a loyal customer for as
long as I could remember. I remember being a YIPPIE user when I was a kid
(pretty sure you could remember the really cute cartoon tiger on the front of
your bank book?). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Needless to say, Maybank is one of the largest banking & financial group in the country and they recently turned 54 years old! Yes,
that’s how long they have been serving us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In conjunction with their birthday, the Maybank team went
around Malaysia from 12<sup>th</sup> till 30<sup>th</sup> of September for a
very special cause. They traveled miles just to surprise their customers for
making it possible for them to go this far in their journey. Well, talk about
true hospitality! Big kudos to the MAYBANK team! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
All of these are actually a part of Maybank’s ongoing
campaign and effort to #humanisebanking. Yes, humanise banking. I personally
think that’s a really good move ; to instill corporate social responsibility is
something that many companies they lack of but clearly not Maybank! <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Their long standing customers were given token of
appreciation, as well as those customers who walked into their branches. What a
sweet surprise! Maybank even ran the extra mile to visitor their customer’s
homes to deliver personalized and customized tokens of appreciation. Giving
instead of receiving on YOUR birthday? The Maybank group is truly a giver! What
a humble motive. It is definitely not something you see very often these days. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Having said that, it is little gestures like these that make
the biggest differences. Hence, making Maybank one of the World’s Strongest
Banks! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I recently stumbled upon this video by Maybank regarding
their ongoing campaign. It’s a shame if I don’t share it so do check out the
video below. The looks on their customer’s faces were absolutely priceless!
Definitely one of the best birthday gift Maybank could receive from their
customers; the look of happiness and satisfaction! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;">Weekends are the days I most look forward to. Simply because, a nice place to chill and unwind after overworking for the week is all I need. Conversations over some drinks and good food; that’s my perfect kind of weekend wrap up. I’ve had a couple of bad experience with cafes and bars, overpriced menus and under satisfactory customer services, those aren’t unusual these days. Therefore, I am usually very particular with my choice of cafes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;">With Debudget.com, you’ve nothing to worry about. From affordable menus, scrumptious food and a whole lot of savings! What exactly am I talking about? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;">DeBudget.com is Malaysia’s first online pre-purchase café bar, which offers customers a concept somewhat similar to that of budget airlines – the earlier you buy, the more you save! Now that’s music to my ears! This is absolutely genius! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="line-height: 28px;">“So, how does it work?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;"> Say I want to meet up with my buddies at the DeBudget.com outlet in IOI Boulevard (there are more outlets opening around the Klang Valley and beyond soon!) for some drinks and dinner next week. I just head over to http://www.debudget.com/ and check out the deals on offer, place my order, pay as I would any online site, receive the QR code on my smartphone, then on the day of my visit just show it to the staff at the outlet, redeem my drink and enjoy with my friends! Easy pleasy and done in less than 5 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;">Say I didn’t like the prices at the IOI Boulevard outlet on that certain day, I could simply select another outlet or another date to see if the price is lower. Just like booking a flight – the price increases as more seats as booked or in this case, the price increases as more drink packages are booked on that day. I have a more detailed run through at the bottom of this post.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 21pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 21pt;">I was invited to the special friends & media preview of the very first DeBudget.com outlet at the IOI Boulevard in Puchong, Selangor along with some of the girls from Malaysia's Hottest Bloggers (MHB), and check out what we discovered! </span></div>

Complete your online purchase by making the payment. Payment can be made by
either using your credit card or debit card (which uses PayPal secure payment
gateway), or by using your PayPal account. After the payment is successful, you
will be emailed a QR code from</span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"> debudget.com </span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm;">which you simply need to show on your smartphone at the outlet on
your chosen date. No need to print out any vouchers. Really simple and
convenient if you ask me!</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Remarks: If you want a lower price and it’s not available that day
at that outlet, just select another outlet or another date and see if it’s
cheaper. It will come very naturally to you as you’ve probably booked airline
tickets many times before online. Same concept. Just a different product.</span></i></b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, where was I again?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think this whole "I'll be right back" .. " Sorry, I've been MIA".. "THE HIATUS" is getting a little overused, don't you think? I mean, right.. some of you are obliged to blog. Or rather, feel obliged to. But I don't. I write whenever I feel like and I don't feel like I owe something to my readers for not updating.. (okay, maybe a little guilt for keeping you guys waiting) but at least, when I do update.. I make sure it's of substance, and not.. (right, I think I shan't get there. Let's just keep this for another post alright). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So! After much contemplation, I think I will be keeping this blog for a little longer. I was really close to closing it down (due to several personal reasons) but hey, I've made up my mind that I'm not going to and I'm sticking to my words. Currently still in the midst of my exams season and just completed my third paper (no, don't ask how it went. I don't wanna talk about it) .. and I HAVE ONE FINAL PAPER TO GO! Just one last one Maggy. One last one. DAMN IT. SO CLOSE! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Aside from school, I've been pretty swamped with work as well. And when you're in Monash (apparently ranked #1 Malaysia's Top Universities, and one of the Big 8 in Australia), exams is NO BIG DEALL. Oh, NOT BIG DEAL AT ALL. Passing rate is as high as Mount Everest, not to worryyyyy. Haha, I was obviously joking. And NO. Monash is NO JOKE. And when I mean NO JOKE I do mean, failure rate for certain units could be pretty dang high. NO KIDDING. Having said that, I had to work everyday during my Study Break. ( Most Monashians I know call me 'The Heroin'). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Thanks guys. Appreciate your heads up. But I guess, I'm just being me! The adrenaline rush junkie (not the roller coaster kinda rush), the one who's constantly living on the edge, and the one who's addicted to challenges.. oh hello! That's yours truly! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Trust me, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I DO IT. I have no definite answer to your question, I'm sorry. But I do have a key to it. Time management and sleep deprivation. They kinda do come hand in hand, well.. at least in my case. There's only so much you can do in 24 hours. SIGH! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, speaking of work.. some of you might be wondering what I do. Hmm, besides writing.. I sometimes talk for a living too! :) You might have heard me on your drive home, or usually during the weekends! Yep, a radio presenter on FLYFM. I think I've mentioned about it before. But because I've been away from blogging for SO LONG (hmmm) ..... I clearly can't multitask! But I'm trying my best now.<br />

So yeah, just a little update on what's been going up on my side; and yes, I've been working on #movewithmaggy as well. Feel free to checkout the hashtag on your Instagram! More updates in the coming posts. It is kinda being put on hold as of now.. exams is just taking too much of my time and I can't afford to re-do any units so I'm really just betting my life on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really don't mean to be such a narcissist, but I just realized the amount of selfies I took during work. I mean, I don't usually get people in the studio to take it for me... so, I do it myself lah! :P And here's a compilation of em all. I think I have more, but I won't take the risk of putting myself to further shame HAHA. And boyyyy, I do take a lot of selfies! :P </div>

Yes, past couple of weeks has been a living hell for me. Work during the day, short nap once I'm home and straight to studies till wee hours in the morning and that was pretty much how my day/week was. I don't call myself a workaholic but that really did take a toll on my body and I was down with major fever and flu! THANK GOD that week is now over and I only have ONE MORE PAPER to work on and then it would be freedom for another month and a half before THE FINAL FINAL SEMESTER. I am beyond stoked! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So many things to look forward to after my finals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Can't wait. So till then, ciao! x </div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I’m sure most of you have already heard of the Sony Alpha
5000 by now. Yes, the world’s lightest interchangeable-lens digital camera</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> weighs only 210g without lens and battery, and 269g with battery
and kit lens. But inside this very portable camera is a 20.1
effective-megapixel APS-C image sensor for superb image quality. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Sony Alpha 5000 also equipped with a 180 degrees
tiltable LCD screen</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> for easy selfies, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">and Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">for easy
transfer or photos to my smartphone using the Play Memories app which is free
for both iPhone and Android. This makes capturing and sharing photos </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">really fun</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> and most importantly - easy!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #444444;">So, I took home the Sony A5000 and got to play around with
it for a few weeks. Before I show you what this compact camera is capable of, I
must really emphasize that the Sony Alpha 5000 really is so lightweight and
convenient! I have been bringing it with me almost wherever I go! I don’t have
to worry about bulky cameras anymore. Just strap on, and I’m good to go! </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Another thing I love about this Sony Alpha 5000 is
definitely its exterior! Sophisticated and sleek, white is surely my favourite
out of the three (the other colours being pink and black). <b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I am not the best photographer, but hey… this camera sure
did unleash that 'inner pro' within me! I am really amazed by the amount of
details this little compact camera can capture. I won't do so much talking;
after all… action speaks louder than words, right? In this case, I'll let my
pictures do the talking! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">For close-up shots like these, I used the 'Macro' function
and I must say that it was very user friendly. You don't need a degree in
photography. With the Sony A5000, your photos will turn out as good! Look at
the beautiful details and colours in these photos that I managed to capture. I
was pretty amazed myself! I remember MHB’s official photographer Andy Kho
saying during the bloggers gathering at Carcosa that this is because of the
large APS-C sensor which captures more light.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">And of course everyone likes taking shots of food and beverage. I
liked the background defocus effect which softens the background and makes the
subject of the photo more prominent. Best thing is that you can even adjust the
amount of background defocus right in auto mode! Great for users like myself!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It actually turned out pretty cool! Feels like the sun
radiating energy, right?! I actually submitted this photo for the photography competition
during the event; too bad mine wasn't good enough. But I still think this is a
pretty cool shot! Made it my desktop's wallpaper too. Yup, that's how much I
like it! :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I played mostly with the photo effects as I am not
particularly proficient playing with ISO, shutter speed, and aperture yet.
There are quite a few to choose from; Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization,
Retro, Soft High-key, Partial Color, High Contrast Mono, Soft Focus- Low, HDR
Painting, Rich-tone Mono, Miniature, Watercolor & Illustration. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">However I’m hoping to improve, and I’ve read up a little on
how to properly set aperture, shutter speed and ISO online... so I'm slowly but
surely learning how to fully utilise the camera! (hopefully I get to keep it a
little longer :P). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #444444;">So the following of photos are mostly myself, playing around
with the different photo effects available. It's quite amazing how just one
simple effect, can alter the entire mood of the photo. Check it out! </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">For me personally, when a camera can produce good photographs when the
sun goes down (night time), then it’s a good camera. Just my two cents; and
what can I say? The Sony Alpha 5000 really surprised me! Just look at the
amount of detail I managed to capture in the night shots below! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">These are merely with the available photo effects (extremely
user-friendly for users that are not so familiar with the more technical
aspects of the camera) but I can totally imagine the outcome if I actually
applied manual effects depending on the ambience. It’s time high I take up photography
lessons! Well I heard Sony Malaysia provides photography workshops to their
users! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">Notice how a simple change of photo effect changes the
entire mood of the photograph? Love it!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I am definitely enjoying this artistic side of me. Never
knew I could take such 'interesting' pictures. This Sony Alpha 5000 is
definitely very user-friendly (especially photography noobies like myself),
very lightweight (I can bring it with me anywhere, anytime!), and not
forgetting its appealing outlook (white cameras? they look good with any
outfit, for any occasion!). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Intelligent Auto mode which automatically identifies the scene’s
characteristics and adjusts to the best settings. I’m slowly getting the hang
of using the Sony A5000 and I’m pretty impressed with it as the photos turn out
GOOD considering I don’t have any advanced knowledge of photography).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the many perks about being a blogger has got to be
the first-hand privileges we get when it comes to the latest gadgets in town.
I've always been a gadget girl, and camera is definitely one of my travel
essentials. Trust me, a good camera goes a longggggg way. It's one of the best
inventions ever, no? The fact that we get to capture 'moments' as we live, to
me... is the most beautiful thing ever! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">One advantage about having a lightweight digital camera is
the convenience you get while traveling. Trust me, I’ve had horrible
experiences with heavy cameras (usually DSLRs) especially during my travels.
During the talk, we were told that the Photoriders, a group of cyclist and
photographers from Penang who travel around on their bicycles very much
preferred the compact and light Sony Alpha 5000 as compared to the conventional
DSLRs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Truth be told, there are so many different models and
different types of cameras in the market today; picking the ‘right one’ can be
pretty tricky at times. Based on my personal experience with the Sony Alpha
5000; I must say, I’m pretty impressed! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Besides its appealing and attractively designed exterior,
the Sony Alpha 5000 is also very light. According to Sony, it is the world’s
lightest interchangeable digital camera weighing at an approximate of 210g
(body only) and 269g (in October 2013 with battery and memory stick PRO DUO).
It’s so compact and convenient, I have no problem carrying it with me everywhere
I go! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Sony Alpha 5000 is also very well equipped with a 20.1
mega pixel Exmor APS-C HD CMOS sensor and their BIONZ X processor, resulting in
better quality pictures with improved clarity and lesser noise. Sony is the
only camera range in the current market that uses the APS-C size sensor. To put
simply, let me explain using the “handbag” metaphor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

pop-up tiltable flash which is great for bouncing light off low ceilings, the
Sony Alpha 5000 is also compatible with E-mount lenses and has sensitivity up
to ISO16000. I’m sure you can image how powerful this compact camera is by now.

you flip the screen; it automatically switches to a “3-seconds self-timer” mode
giving you a little time to adjust yourself for the shot. Perfecto!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Another awesome feature of the
Sony Alpha 5000 has to be the in-built WIFI function that allows you to transfer
your photos immediately to your smartphones or tablets. Talk about convenience!
The best part is, you don’t need an external WiFi for the photo transfer;
because the WiFi is already in-built (oh, why am I stating the obvious? :P)
Here’s how you do it! <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

a mini in-house competition during the Sony Alpha 5000 Bloggers’ Preview
whereby everybody at the event were encouraged to use their newly received Sony

the grand prize winner of the contest will walk away with a brand new Sony

Let's face it, we all want to look good in our six-packs ( if not eight); or just simply looking fit and lean. Plus, it seems to me that doing things the 'healthier' way is becoming a trend. Well, for once, a 'good' trend. Nonetheless, us Malaysians being Malaysians.. the amount of temptations that we face every single day can be quite an obstacle. Unless you have crazy amount of self-control (which I am still working on :P). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess I have mentioned in my previous post on the GM Diet, that I've gained quite an amount of unnecessary pounds ; and I'm on a quest to lose them all. Yes, ALL! I do notice the 'urgency' that we tend to have when it comes to losing your weight/fats. You wouldn't believe the amount of queries I got from my GM DIET, it's becoming a trend! Everyone wants to lose weight fast, and the easy way. Not saying that the diet was bad, but for me personally, it was more like a detox to cleanse my system. Of course, losing the 3kgs was a bonus, and it keeps me motivated. If you immediately get back on your regular meals right after your 5th day of the diet, most likely you'll gain it all back. So, what's the point? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Losing fats also depend on your current fitness status. For instance, you are already quite lean with slight visibility of abs; so to work towards the packs wouldn't be too difficult for you. In contrast, if you have a belly and carry extra pounds.. you'll probably have to first work on losing your fats and then work towards obtaining the abdominal muscles. It is all a process; take the right route, not the short-cut; remember this : "the faster you lose, the faster you gain". Everything in moderation is the best! So, being my curious self.. I read up on quite a couple of reviews, and fitness articles on 'how to lose your fats'. Some can be quite tricky and seem almost impossible to achieve; so, I've come up with 8 most doable ways to lose your fats. </div>

According to most articles, when you do cardio on an empty stomach .. your body is more apt to burn fat as its primary source of energy since glycogen stores are depleted from eight hours of fasting the night before. You might have to sacrifice waking up 30-45 minutes earlier than usual, but hey .. the fat-burning perks are definitely worth it! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Caffeine is found in most fat-burning supplements since it inhibits the storage of body fat and burns EXTRA fat during exercise". Try drinking a large cup of coffee before your cardio exercises ; but make sure it's BLACK. No sugar or cream because the extra calories will only disrupt your fat-burning efforts. According to a study, they found that caffeine and carnitine taken before a cycling workout increased fat-burning and endurance. Load up on your coffee beans! ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Do I Do It? </b>: Though I'm not the biggest fan of coffee, I tried taking black coffee first thing first in the morning. Kinda helps but of course, visible results can only be seen in the long run. But if you dislike coffee, try opt for tea instead! I'm pretty sure tea would do the job too. </i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any workout is better than not working out. Similarly, any cardio is better than none. Based on most studies/researches, doing intervals have been shown to burn more fat than cardio sessions done at a constant slow-to-moderation intensity. If you're going on a treadmill, try going for 20-25minutes at a roughly 1:1 ratio of intense to slow/moderate intervals (Eg, sprint for a minute, walk for a minute and repeat the cycle). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Do I Do It?</b> : Honestly? I hate the treadmill. But, I guess doing intervals is much more fun as compared to running/jogging at a constant speed for 30 minutes! Yay to intervals! </i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dump that mindset of <i>"I'm worried I'll get buff if I lift weights" </i>or <i>"Heavy weight-lifting are only for the men!"</i>. Well, just look at that chick! Say whuttt!! Weight liftings are great way to burn of those fats as compared to cardio exercises. In fact, they allow a constant 'fat-burning' process while cardios are merely burning your fats temporarily. I remember my Trainer once told me that; if you do weights, you are still 'burning' for the next 24hours while running.. you're only burning WHILE you're are running. Hmm, let me explain better. In other words, with weight lifting you gain muscles and hence higher metabolism (which is good for keeping your body fit and lean in the long run) while with cardio/running, you're mostly only burning fats, not so much building muscles. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Simple equation,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
MUSCLES = HIGH METABOLISM = BETTER FAT-BURNING PROCESS </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And to gain muscles, there's only one way. TO LIFT! But do bear in mind that if you do not lift the 'right' way, you might end up hurting yourself. So, start slow and learn to control your strength and add on the weight as you become stronger! ;)<br />
<br />
Studies have also showed that training with heavy weight keeps your metabolism higher and your testosterone levels (for men) elevated for longer after the workout, both results in greater fat-burning potential. So ladies, don't be too paranoid about becoming bulking if you lift heavy! Just LIFT! ;) </div>

Simple reason, because those eaten in the late evening are destined to be stored as bodyfat. But if you really need to eat (because starving is no good!), take fruits instead. </div>

Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Missing out on your sleep can also mean missing out on muscle repair that occurs when your body is at rest. If you mess with the repair process, it would mean lesser muscles and subsequently, a slower metabolism! </div>

So, try power naps if you have to ; taking naps can be a great way to recharge yourself! </i></div>

Need I say more? Water, the most basic form of human life. We can never go wrong with Mother Nature! Plus, if you don't already know.. by weight, the average man is approximately 60% water. Yup, our body content is made up of quite a large percentage of water! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also boost your metabolic rate and make you less likely to overeat since you'll feel fuller. In contrast, being dehydrated can result in decreased fat-burning! A study from Germany found that when subjects drank about 2 cups of cold water, they increased their metabolic rate by 30% for more than an hour. So, drinking 2 cups of cold water between meals can help keep your metabolism high. So, load up on your H20 and drink regularly. 8 glasses a day, sounds familiar? ;) </div>

<i><b>Do I Do It? </b>: Well, with the amount of variety when it comes to beverages ( from fresh juices, coffee, tea , magarita, vodka.. okay, I'm going off track :P), water might not be your FIRST choice when it comes to making a decision. But I personally would prefer just ordering sky juice (aka plain water) whenever I eat out. And even if I do opt for fruit juices, I will only take it if it's non-sugared. Gotta love your body! </i></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><i>Before you start bombarding me with questions like "Why are you doing this during Chinese New Year? You nuts?" or " What sort of diet do you even need? You're not even fat! Fat is obese!", allow me to do a little explanation as to why I took up this GM Diet. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">F</span>irst of all, yes I'm not fat. But neither am I fit (ANYMORE). My circle of close friends and family would have realized the amount of weight I've gained over the past couple of months. You might or might not see the FATTY FRIENDS that I've made, but I know my body very well. And being the fitness/health enthusiast that I self-proclaim.. I do take effort to read up on articles about proper weight loss/ workout regimes. I have been binging on junk food, eating unhealthy portions and even been demotivated to workout because I have completely lost my mojo. I guess we all go through that 'downside' of life, don't we? I would admit that it was probably the break-up that I went through mid last year. (Wait, what?! What break-up? I thought you guys..... ) Ok, stop right there. Yup, we parted ways approximately 7 months ago and the post break-up weight did linger around longer than I thought it would. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyway, back to the main point. So yup, I gained quite a few pounds and I've decided to get back on track because it irks me so bad whenever I scroll through my photo albums, looking at the lean and fit body I once had. I told myself that I need to stop giving excuses and just start doing it. And I'm doing it RIGHT NOW! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span>econd question. Why during Chinese New Year? Well, it's pretty simple and I don't think I need to state the obvious. It used to be the festive season that I look forward most to every year, but don't get me wrong.. I STILL DO. It's just that (which brings me back to my first point).. I've gained enough and I don't think I deserve to indulge anymore of these "junk" food. Plus, even if I let myself.. I'll just have to do more work after, which I don't think is a very brilliant idea. So yup, no pain no gain? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Just a snippet of the temptations that I had to endure, resist and combat throughout my diet routine.. CAN YOU IMAGINE?! </div>

From hereon, the detox begins! *hehe*. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was introduced to this diet by <a href="http://www.nataliatangling.com/">Natalia</a> and being the amazing friend that she is, she decided to do it WITH ME! The entire world knows that there is absolutely no need for her to go on the diet, but 'going on a diet' was one of the bucket list ; so, kill two birds with one stone perhaps? I get to lose my excess weight while having a great buddy to do it with me! Thanks Nata! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We both did our research prior to starting this diet. Apparently it is the safest and most effective crash diet around. The actual GM Diet is supposedly a 7-day diet, but Nat only did it for 5 because if she continue on any further.. she would probably vanish into thin air. HAHA. So, this diet isn't really recommended if you're technically underweight (based on your BMI). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GM, the abbreviation of General Motors, and hence The GM Diet. It is a weight loss management plan developed by the General Motors Corporation to help keep their employees stay in shape! (Oh, thank you General Motors!). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
"This diet system involved the consumption of specific foods per day. The GM Diet and it's unique diet plan helps you to reduce up to 10-17 lbs in 7 days. Reducing weight is the primary goal, additionally with reduced weight comes the added benefit of feeling good. Not only does it improve the mental state and attitude of the person following the diet course, it also help you to cleanse & detoxify your body" - GM Diet Overview. </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">DAY 1 : ALL YOU CAN EAT FRUITS, EXCEPT FOR BANANAS </span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It looks a lot easier than you think it is. "Fruits only? Ahh, I love fruits. I can do that!". That was what I initially thought too, but the fact that you're consuming so much 'sugar' (because any fruits in general, are sweet), you'll get so sick of the 'sweetness' by your third meal intake. Munching on grapes did help. I kept switching between the black (sweet) ones and the green (sour) ones just to play around with my tastebuds. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By dinner time, we were barely surviving. First day is always the toughest, no kidding! So, we succumbed into some Trail Mix just to tease our tastebuds a little. My first nut and I went "Ahhhh.. this is sooooo gooooood!". HAHA. It would be great if you can get through the first day without 'cheating' like how we did. I'll do better my second round! </div>

By today, you'll be almost back to normal. Your body would have been so used to the amount of fruits and vegetables you've had for the past two days. So, the third day would be peanuts for ya!

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Technically, you're not supposed to consume starchy vegetables such as corn, potatoes, green peas and yams , so try avoiding those. But according to the diet plan which we were referring to, we're allowed to have one potatoes each. So we had TWO! (oh, happiest day of my life). Instead of boiling it in our soup, we decided to bake our own fries! Absolutely no oil, no butter, just 2 potatoes and sprinkle some sea salt and stuff it into the 400degrees hot oven! (refer to <b><i><a href="http://www.nataliatangling.com/">Nat's Blog</a> </i></b>for more pictures). </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">DAY 4: BANANAS AND MILK ONLY </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Technically, only 6 bananas that will last you the entire day. Sounds difficult, but I got through it like a breeze! I was surprised myself! I reckon its because the amount of energy that one banana gives, so with 6 bananas, you'll easily get through the day without constantly feeling hungry. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wouldn't say I'm lactose intolerant, but I can't take milk. I just cant. God knows how I got through my childhood; the thought of it gives me goosebumps, HAHA. But hey, there's always a way around things. My alternative was SOY MILK! So, 6 bananas and a bottle of organic soymilk kept me going strong! I could even run for 30 minutes that day. Seriously, I was on my best form! Never felt so good. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the 5th day, I've already lost a total of 3kgs. And the feeling of tasting meat again.. was beyond words! My 10 ounces of juicy Australian Tenderloin just perfected my day. Oh speaking of which, if you haven't been to Las Vacas - you really should try it out. Oh, you're welcome ;) </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
That wraps up by 5 intensive days of GM Diet! Even though Nat resumed her regular diet, I continued on with my 6th and 7th day. Since it already gave me a kickstart, I might as well follow up and fully commit to it, no? After all, NO PAIN NO GAIN! Basically the 6th day involves "UNLIMITED MEAT AND UNLIMITED VEGGIES" and on the 7th day, you're finally allowed to consume 1 bowl of brown rice, unlimited veggies and fruits. Ahh, carbs.. how I've missed you! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to continue to lose weight, try not to eat too much carbs on the consecutive days. You might put on some unnecessary weight which you might not see coming. So keep eating clean and hydrate yourself with lots of water! I'm starting my day with a fruit (usually an apple or a pear) and gallons of water every morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Here's my take on my GM Diet experience, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1) You Will Need A Diet Buddy</b> : I kid you not when I say it's tough, especially on the first day. When your body is adapting to the whole 'clean eating' and it's done rather drastically because you're only allowed to consume fruits, and fruits only, having a buddy with you will allow you to motivate each other. Honestly I wouldn't have been able to get through it with Natalia. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2) You Need To Be Mentally Prepared</b> : Yes, mentally prepared. I know it sounds tempting to attempt when I say I lost 3kgs by my 5th day. I would too if I see someone lose that much weight within such a short span of time. But friend, it's a crash diet.. meaning to say, the faster you lose, the faster you gain. So, if you're gonna do it just for the sake of doing it, I reckon you don't do it at all. Because, if you're going to start feasting again as soon as your diet ends, you'll probably gain even more than you initially started. It took me a week of preparation prior to starting this diet. I told myself I will need to start eating clean 'gradually', so my body wouldn't dysfunction during my diet. So yes, alot of mental preparation required. Meditation did help me too! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3) Your Energy Level Might Fluctuate</b> : Let's not state the obvious. The lesser you eat, the lesser your body processes, the lesser energy you'll get. Simple science, no? :) I was a total weakling during my first two days of the diet. But by the third day, I was pretty much back to normal and even went for a run. And on my fourth day, I was on my best form! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4) You Can't Cheat, Not Even A Cookie : </b>If you're gonna eat, might as well NOT do it. If you're going to stick to this diet, make sure you still till the END of it! Yes, one cookie and the chain is broken. So, don't cheat! ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5) It's A Detox/Weight Loss Diet</b> : Why so? If you realize, there is absolutely no carbs throughout the diet (except for that one potato on your third day), plus the amount of fruits and vegetables that you'll be consuming really does give your body a good detox/cleanse. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>6) Keep Yourself Hydrated!</b> : Need I say more? H20 is gonna be your best buddy throughout the diet! Drink up! We drank lots of water and tea everyday. Absolutely NO sugary drinks. Keep that in mind :) </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"IT'S 70% DIET, 30% EXERCISE" </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think we've heard enough of that. So, practice what you preach! Yes, dieting helps but working out will increase your metabolism and by keeping yourself active, you're doing your body your favor too! If your body has been hibernating for a while, getting back on it might be difficult but you can always start slow. Go for jogs in the evening, or perhaps a dip in the pool? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Found this article online and found it really beneficial if you're looking to lose/gain/maintain your weight. I remember my personal trainer telling me that if you want to lose weight, go for the weights! It will allow a gradual weight loss in the longer run, while cardio exercises are merely burning your calories temporarily. I'll elaborate more on that in a later post! Just refer to this chart for now. Hope it helps! </div>

I don't usually get very personal when it comes to my public posts. And, I don't really intend to. But today, something.. somehow just triggered my emotions and I am going to tell you a story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A love story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But before I proceed further, remember these two names; Alaric and Mia. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
**************** </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Mia, known for her bubbly personality; has always been the people person. She's the heart of every party that she goes to. She warms up to people so quickly, so easily, so naturally.. conversations with her can hardly ever get awkward, because she's simply so nice to converse with! And when she listens, she does it with all her heart. She's a simple girl, easily amused, can get pretty gullible at times.. but she has a good heart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And like any other girl, she longs for her prince charming, her knight in shining armor.. or whatever else you call it. Not that she's on a hunt or anything, she just secretly wishes that someday, The One would come knocking on her door. Yes, if you're trying figure out if she's a hopeless romantic? I'm gonna give you a yes. A big fat YES! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>"If I ever find my my other half again, I'll love him with all my life, my all. I'd shower him with my affection, my love, and I'll love him like no other. And if he ever walks into my life.. I would know. But I'm curious; how would he look like? Would he be like the many other guys I've dated before? Ew, no please. Some were douches, and I'm allergic to douches. No, he won't be, I know. It will all be right, in His timing. It will all be right". </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, one day.. Alaric came into the picture (<i>he just popped out of nowhere, like a mushroom! yes, mushroom!)</i>. Well, he wasn't the kind of guy that you would notice at your first glance. But funny enough, he was what Mia had always wished for. In fact, almost close to perfect if you must ask. How on Earth is that even possible?! Yes, he's Chinese ( great, her parents would love him), he speaks perfect English ( thank God, she'll never be able to handle a ching-chong-bing-bong), he's pretty damn well-built ( oh, Mia is a total sucker for men who works out, especially if you're those with nice arms and 6-pack abs. oh, that's a done deal hunny!) ; I don't want to sound like a shallow bitch, but let's just admit it.. who wouldn't swoon over a nice body?! I TOTALLY WOULD AND I'M NOT GOING TO DENY THAT. Also, he speaks perfect French and nope I'm not even done yet.. he's a Harvard graduate ( ok, stop!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>"Okay, this can't be true. Sounds too good to be true. How can he seem so perfect? No, God.. you're scaring me.. I asked for a good man. You gave me a perfect one." </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
************** </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>(I'm speaking as <b>Mia.) </b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There was this one day, he asked me out. This is going to be my second time meeting him. And IT'S A DATE! Oh my Lord, my heart raced and I didn't know how to respond. I don't remember how it was like to be on a date. It felt like eons of years ago. I've never really dressed up for dates when I was with my ex ; I mean.. everything was so casual then. But I didn't want this date to be casual. Alaric seems so special. "Okay, I'm going to look my best", I told myself. I ransacked my entire wardrobe, found the perfect bareback dress, did my hair and some make-up and I left. I made sure I smelt like my favourite <i>Acqua di Gioia essenza</i>. I was never really the kind of girl who cares about .. handcreams. But that night, I just felt like I needed everything to be perfect. Because.. he was. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I switched between my ballerina flats and my heels a couple of times. I hate being this tall sometimes. "If only he was taller", I thought to myself. Ugh, perfection is overrated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>"Just be yourself, Mia." </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>"Don't impress too much. You don't know him that well."</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>"Don't have to give him your best, he does not deserve it, not yet". </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I just.. over-freaking-think sometimes. No, most of the time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We were supposed to meet at 8.30pm. It was 8.25pm and my heart started to race, I think it popped. I went to the ladies several times, just to make sure I looked alright.. if not my best. And when the minute-hand reached the 30th minute, my phone rang. </div>

Well, of course I picked it up! I've waited all week to see this guy. ALL WEEK! Feels like forever, I swear. But I didn't want to seem like I was too eager. I let it ring for another 2 (and a half) times, before giving my best "<i>Hey!". </i><br />
<br />
The moment I saw him, my heart dropped. Honestly, he wasn't the best looking guy in town, but his personality just shines through and there's so much goodness in him that it's hard not to love. He has this megawatt smile that would just melt your heart, almost instantaneously. At least it did, to me. And the funniest part about him is when he laughs.. you can't see his eyes. Uhm, Chinese.. but.. such a cutie.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, yes. We went to this French restaurant; and that was when I heard him speak French for the first time. Mind you, it was perfect French. PLUS FREAKING POINT! Apparently, he lived in France for 3 years before moving back here. Interesting.. this guy travels. And I love a guy who travels. He can story me his adventures, because ... I love stories. I'd have bedtime stories supply that would last a lifetime!<br />
<br />
The food was great, but my company that night was the best, ever. I don't remember too much details from that night; but I sure won't forget this. </div>

<i>(in the midst of our conversation)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Alaric : Mia, could you please do me a favor? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Mia : <i>uhm.. yes?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Alaric : Could you stop smiling like that? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Mia : <i>Huh? (I swear, I thought something was stucked in between my teeth) </i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Alaric : No, not that. Your smile is too sweet, its distracting me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I blushed. And I don't remember myself 'blushing' like that for a long time! He was amazing, and I'll never forget that. From then on, things just kept on going and we saw each other almost every other week. Alaric, well.. he's quite a workaholic. Being the workaholic that he is.. he travels quite abit too. So, we only saw each other whenever he's back in town. "Distance makes the heart grow fonder" - I guess it's true. And what I loved most about him, was his heart of Gold. He was such a giver; and he made me realize that chivalry isn't dead. He was the perfect gentleman. And we always had so much to talk about; so much so that we would talk until either one of us falls asleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Everything seemed fine, until one day.. when I realized something wasn't right. I just didn't feel right. He was distancing himself; and I didn't understand why. Just when I thought things were going fine. I wanted to know what went wrong. I was broken when I finally realized that.. things would never work out between us. I was shattered. I was broken. I was disappointed. I was furious. I was everything. He was my everything. Or least I thought so. Emotions were all over the place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But it was a tad too late. I've already fallen into the 'black hole'. I was in love with him. And there.. was no turning back. I had to deal with my emotions. It was all over the place, I remembered. But I just had to pick myself back up. I mean.. what other choice do I have? I had no choice. He just vanished into thin air.. just like that. I knew the problem wasn't with me; and he told me too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well I guess.. </div>

But you didn't. Too bad for you Alaric. You were amazing, we had a great time, but I should've known you'll bring me heartache. I guess, our love will have to wait another lifetime. I know LOVE is a strong word, but I loved you. I was ready to love you.. I was ready to give you my all.. my time, my care, my affection, my everything. But... there's always a 'but' hey? Well, wherever you are right now.. whichever part of the globe.. I wish you well. And perhaps, we'll meet again in another lifetime.. hopefully 'in time' to catch each other again. </div>

It's 3.45am now, I shall head to bed. But writing this 'love story' tore open my heart once again, and the song.. just enhances the whole mellowness in me. HAHA. I love doing this to myself, I'm insane. Just one of those nights where I just needed to pour my heart out. Truth be told, I'm not a very brilliant writer; I suck at executing my ideas into words, but I try. And I tried :) I hope you liked both my characters, Alaric and Mia.<br />
<br />
Why do you think Alaric did that? I'm pretty sure Mia would love to know. I'm pondering myself too. It could've been such a wonderful love story. Could've been.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00586420522266141584noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846149017191382174.post-6773234040983673502014-01-24T02:04:00.001+08:002014-01-24T14:32:22.887+08:002014, I'm back!Oh yes, I am still well and alive!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's almost unbelievable how fast time flies. It's already 2014! Say WHUTTT! Whatever happened in 2013, can someone remind me? Actually no, I need a fresh start! HAHA. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hmmm, I need a lil breather to think of where to start. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I've been having my summer holidays since November and my 7th semester is about to commence in March. Many asked what I've been up to. Well, obviously being the usual me ; I wouldn't take up any full time job at the moment because I am enjoying the flexibility of being a freelancer *haha*. Plus, my radio job has taken up most of my weekends! So, I usually just hit the gym, read some books, attend castings/auditions/meetings, chill at home mostly really and sorting out my weekly schedule. My first week of January started pretty well though. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Flew over to Sabah for a week to film a movie. Well, it's not my first time acting but my first involvement in an international production ; which super duper excites me! I was told that the movie will be showing in theaters in Malaysia soon (sometime after CNY I reckon) and I can't wait! My role was very minor, but hey! We all gotta start somewhere :) I will keep you guys posted on that! </div>

On another note, remember the chinese game show I filmed for a couple of months ago? It's called Splash Fiesta <span style="background-color: white; color: #1c2a47; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;">水舞全城</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c2a47; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> </span>and its now showing on TV2, every Friday at 6pm! I'm not sure which episode I'm in but be sure to catch it. It's gonna be really funny to watch myself speak Mandarin on national television though, that's a first! If you're wondering what exactly the show is about, well is basically like a Malaysian version of WIPEOUT. Be ready to laugh till your abs hurt ; I remember slipping off a couple of times! :P </div>

It's quite impossible to go in details with everything, so I'm just gonna briefly scan through whatever that my braincells can process at this hour (oh, the consequences of being a major procrastinator). Honestly, so much happened that I really really don't know where to begin! Let's go bit by bit, shall we? Since I recently got back from Singapore for a weekend retreat, let's just get into that! </div>

I absolutely love travelling, be it doing it the VIP style with all things 5-star or just backpacking to wherever; I'm good to go! I love getting myself immersed into the difference cultures and lifestyles. Sabah was my first time and I absolutely loved it! Plus, being able to work with the crews from China (mostly Shanghai and Beijing) was quite an eye-opening experience for me too! I'm absolutely blessed that one of the many perks of my job ; is being able to travel! No complaints :P </div>

So, back to Singapore. It was super impromptu. Coincidentally it was a non-working weekend for me, so I immediately agreed to go! Weekend retreat, done right! HEHE. Had so much fun with Nat (yes, Natalia Tangling, formerly known as Natalia Mei if you must ask) HAHA (sorry Nat, I had to :P). The entire trip, we were pretty much stuffed to the brim. I don't remember being hungry AT ALL. From Lei Gardens for dinner the moment we arrived, Wild Honey for brunch the next day, and then Yakiniku Yawaza for the best yakiniku in town (HANDS DOWN!), and of course, the awesome hotel breakfast which I regret not waking up earlier for... (dang it). </div>

Our first stop right after we landed was Chijmes. I was absolutely in awe with the beautifully structured buildings ( in the heart of the city! how precious). It once housed a Catholic convent school known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ), and hence CHIJMES! If you haven't been to this place, you ought to visit at least once. A Singaporean friend of mine made a pretty funny remark though <i>"How can they commercialize this place?! It's making it from holy to sinful leh!"</i>. Well, at least they didn't turn it into a nightclub! That'd be worst! Decent cafes and restaurants are still pretty acceptable in my opinion! :) </div>

The next day, we headed over to <b>Wild Honey</b> at Mandarin Gallery for brunch. Holy smokes! Their Eggs Benedict were heavenly. Kinda regretted I didn't order that but my Big Breakfast wasn't too shabby either. Definitely worth trying and I'm most certainly making another visit when I'm in Sg next! It's usually full-house especially during weekends, so it's better for you to make a reservation prior! We had to wait for at least 30mins before getting our table. </div>

While waiting in-line for our table, we took a visit at this mini Art Gallery next door. I've always enjoyed Art but unfortunately, not quite born with the talent of spontaneity when it comes to.. painting/drawing. Plus, I have extremely short attention span ; so I'll probably never be able to complete anything. I still remember those days when I attended Art class, I'll always be the last to finish. Hmm, actually.. I was probably a little perfectionista. That's why! Perhaps its time I dig up my old work of Art! :P Should be interesting. Speaking of Art, the weekend we're in Singapore was already the week they had Art Stage Singapore at Marina Bay Sands. Too bad we didn't have enough time for that! A little bummed, but there's always next time! :) </div>

Of all the Artwork, this particular sculpture caught my attention. I mean, these sculptures. It's called AIBUDAO, and its a collaboration between Ai Wei Wei & Eric So. Apparently they cost about 200K SGD, 400K SGD and 600K SGD respectively! </div>

Later that night, Nat brought me to Fullerton Bay and we had a good stroll by the bay, overlooking Marina Bay Sands! How ROMANTIC! :P The view was absolutely picturesque. I have been to Singapore so many times but Fullerton Bay was a first! We definitely had a good time catching up over fruit punches (we both can pretty much KO with just a glass of wine, so alcohol wasn't a very good idea since we had to cab back to our hotel HAHA). To sum it up, it was a GREAT SATURDAY NIGHT! </div>

Since it's almost impossible to say NO to good food, the only alternative is to burn it off! And being the usual fitness junkie that we are, we DID make time for gym despite being on vacation! Talk about discipline and determination. Nat was definitely a great motivation because if it weren't for her, I would've probably slept off in the room (after such a long day of walking!). We both had a good 30minutes run on the treadmill and then some circuit exercises after, and of course a gooooood stretch after a great workout! I must admit that I've gained a few pounds over the past couple of months. And I am definitely working my way to eliminate those love handles! Dreading to have my bikini body back! I'm already on the roll, adjusting to my healthy lifestyle again, getting back on track! I'll definitely keep you guys posted on another episode of "FROM FAT TO FIT". It's in the making and coming your way!</div>

I'm pretty sure Secret Recipe is no stranger to us all. This cafe franchise has been around long enough for us to have at least been to once, if not many. My personal favourite has to be their cake varieties, from Oreocheese cake, blueberries and now my all time favourite Red Velvet is available too! Kudos to keeping in trend with the cake fashion (oh yes, Red Velvet is definite THE CAKE that everyone dreads for). Well, at least I do. I'm a total sucker for red velvet cakes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, in conjunction with Secret Recipe's 16th Anniversary, they are celebrating their long streak of success with some really sweet deals! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Attended the launch of their promo last Friday with some of my blogger friends. It's been a while since I've been involved in the blogosphere, but it was definitely great to see so many familiar faces, and even more new ones! We were invited to the Secret Recipe branch in Oasis Square, Ara Damansara and I must say, I really liked the ambience. Should definitely check it out if you haven't already. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was told that this is their first ever <b>"Buy 1 Free 1" </b>cake deal and needless to say, the red velvet cakes are gonna sell like hot cakes! I still remember when they first introduced the cheese cakes, they literally took the entire IPOH (yes, that's my hometown if you're wondering why I'm inserting a non-relatable town haha) by storm! I would walk over to the closest Secret Recipe, at that time it was located right opposite my school - for the cakes, and the lasagna, every week without fail! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

11.51pm, monday night with my never-ending responsibilities (wait, 'never-ending'? that's an understatement). The XX [Night Time] playing on repeat. Don't quite remember the last time I actually spent time with you my friend. Last post was on Bella's exhibition; everything seemed so perfect then. Well, almost perfect. Time passes by like a blazing storm; the next thing you know, it's gone. Far from gone. Hence, my hiatus. I've been spending so much time on myself. Yes, MYSELF. Self-discovery and lots of self-loving. Haven't done that for a while; a long while. So far so good. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
I am quite swamped with my trail of thoughts at the moment; I'll try to break it down, baby steps.<br />

Life can be so brutal sometimes. Yes, I said brutal ; can be worse. Say like.. merciless, ruthless, heartless, remorseless, I don't wanna go on. The excruciating pain seems to be making a come back everytime I think about it. Drop that. You know, someone once told me "the one you want may not be the one you need"; but then, think again. Why would you want something you don't need? I need you, hence I want you, hence .. forget it. </div>

This isn't be best state of mind to be writing; no writer's block tonight but I just felt like it. Like, a part of me has long gone and I'm just trying to search for it. And if you're wondering, yup I'm still searching. Sucha hard to get lil brat. Darn it. </div>

I meant to do this much earlier but so much has been happening on my side. Pretty insane I must say. Anyhewww, life goes on and it's an inevitable cycle that we all go through. That aside, the ultimate objective of this post isn't about me but a very dear friend/sister of mine who's organizing her very first photography exhibition - 'PAPILLON', which means butterfly in French. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
"A butterfly is a symbol of metamorphism and transformation. Its an idea of growth and emergence on beauty into the World". </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will keep this really short and straight to the point. Just need to make sure we get the message across. Simple - do support her and show her some love by just attending the exhibition! That would mean the world to her, your presence :) This girl has worked so hard and has definitely come a long way. I've worked with her and I must say, she's one of the most professional and detail-oriented photographer I've seen. Despite her young and tender ( tender? haha! :P ) age, I can safely say .. she knows what she's doing. I mean, let's admit it .. she's definitely one of the many elite photographers to date. I'll let her photography speak for itself alright? x </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are a few of my favorites from our collaborations and some of her recent work that I found really impressive. There will be a lot more new artworks displayed during the exhibition, so do feel free to pop by! I was told that Dato Jimmy Choo himself will also be paying a visit tomorrow. So, more reasons to come by, no? ;) x </div>

This would be her very first photography exhibition, and probably the last one in Malaysia before she departs for New York to further her studies. I am beyond happy and excited! I guess everyone who knows Bella personally .. would know how much this means for her, and how much effort she has put in to make this happen. To put up an exhibition this huge, single-handedly? That's definitely not something a typical 19 year old would/could do. Two thumbs up for you hun! xx </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This exhibition records her growth as a young artist and the development of her creativity since 2011. She shares her behind the scenes work, never seen before images and what inspires her to become who she is today. I am glad that I am a part of this exhibition and I really hope the world/everybody else could see how I see Bella ; so much potential, so much talent .. and ( I'm sorry, I'm lost of words). I'll sum it up in 5 words? SHE'S A BALL OF JOY, if that even makes sense? Haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Come join us at Papillon at Whitebox in MAP, Publika, Solaris Dutamas from 6th August to 8th August 2013. Admission is free and her work will be up for sale. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her conceptual pieces are really worth buying. You should really see it for yourself. But hey, I shan't keep you guys any longer. The anticipation awaits. Come and see the world through Bella's eyes. It's gonna be quite a ride ;) </div>

It seems to me that most people today are striving towards a healthy and fitter lifestyle. Or at least, most people that I know of. We try our best to ensure a balanced meal, a 20-min workout a day at the very least, constantly motivate ourselves with fitness magazines, bottom line - everybody is striving to look good, physically these days. Sounds very much like myself, actually. Well, the bottom line is - working out is one thing, doing it right is another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To those who know me very well, should know that I am a total gym junkie. Anything to do with fitness, I'm definitely up for it. A marathon, a jog by the park, dodgeball, any sports or form of exercise for that matter. I never knew how important a shoe can be until I sprained my ankle during an incident months ago and I was inactive for a good one month. Trust me, it sucked. I felt so uneasy, fatigue and all I wanted was to get back to my second home (gym)! And when I did, the first thing I did was to run. And bam, I fell. Ankle weaken and I crashed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then, I realized how important it is to actually have a shoe that supports you well. You need to get the right shoes for the right agendas. Some shoes are made for the gym, some are made for outdoor activities. Hence, you need to know what you're really looking for. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
From my personal experiences ( and common sense, of course) ; shoes with flexible soles/platforms are best worn for gym because in general, gym have wooden/carpeted floors that can absorb impact much easily. On the other hand, shoes with harder sole/platforms are best suited for outdoor activities where you move and get active on hard grounds (tar roads, grass etc) that are often rough and uneven. </div>

This post in particular, is about the newly introduced NIKE LUNARGLIDE+ 5. I was invited by Nike Malaysia along with another blogger friend, Esther Ng from <a href="http://youresty.com/">youresty.com</a> to try out their latest shoe technology. Prior to the event, we had a couple of surprises and I must say I was really impressed with their PR skills. Kudos to Milk PR and Nike Malaysia! From macaroons to gifts, which girl wouldn't enjoy surprises hey? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The meet-up was held at KLCC Park and surely, there was no better place to try out the Nike LunarGlide. I felt like a kid getting cotton candy. Plus, the shoe we received was in my favourite purple /peplum colour. I couldn't be more excited. </div>

For runners with a midly to moderately overpronated gait, the Nike LunarGlide+ 5 delivers the stability and responsive ride of Dynamic Support, a two-part midsole system where opposing wedges of foam (Lunarlon and firmer carrier foam) move the runner from soft to stable as the heel lands and the foot flexes down. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The shoe provides exceptional cushioning and support through the Lunarlon and Nike Flywire technologies. The Lunarlon system features a soft, light yet resilient foam core within a supportive foam for plush cushioning, springy response and needed support. Nike Flywire delivers an adaptive, glove-like feel and the Fitsole sockliner molds to the shape of the foot for a custom fit. </div>

My personal thoughts on the new Nike LunarGlide+ 5? I find it really solid, for a shoe. Stable platform and has a very good supportive system (especially when I know I'm having a weak ankle now). It has a pretty thick cushioning which explains why its so stable and comfortable. Stable landings and dynamic support system, plus plush cushioning - that makes up a perfect pair of running shoes. So, if you're looking for a running shoe, this pair should definitely be in your MUST TRY list. It fits me perfectly and I've been wearing it pretty often especially during outdoor sports. What I also love about this shoe has to be its lightweight and of course, the vibrant color is a plus point! ;) </div>

Obviously, as the title intends - I just got back from my Krabi trip. Tried something different this time ; video editing! Memories in motion ;) Definitely not my forte but thought it would be a lil something more than just pictures. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guess who's back? Stronger and better! *wink. Yup, exams are finally over now and you have no idea what I went through for the past one month ( the past two weeks were extraordinarily difficult, I swear I almost died). One of the most unforgettable.. traumatizing experience I've had. Almost like as though I came back to live (something like that ... I can't seem to put it into words).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sat for my first paper ( on the 20th June 2013) ; a third-year business management paper and it wasn't because I hadn't been well prepared for it but god knows why I panicked and trembled throughout the examination. You know how when you have 10 minutes left and your heart would just race like nobody's business, yup exactly like that but I felt like that THROUGHOUT THE PAPER, FROM BEGINNING TILL THE END. I couldn't write and my mind went completely blank ; I was shaking, I couldn't breathe properly, time seemed to tick away so damn quickly and by the time I decided that I couldn't pull through - I asked for an exam cancellation and BAM; invigilator told me I was 5 minutes too late and it hit me - I WAS GOING TO FAIL. I cried and begged *super melodramatic I know* because HELL NO I'M DOING THAT PAPER AGAIN.. but hey, when I finally got myself together, I realized.. life ain't a bed of roses. And when shit happens you just gotta deal with it. I wasn't kidding when I said I studied so hard for it - I could've easily gotten a Distinction for that paper but .. looks like I can barely even pass it now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leaving the rest to God. Don't wanna jinx it no more but it was definitely a lesson to learn. The rest of the papers I sat for after that.. I was a lot calmer and I refrained myself from putting too much pressure on my shoulder ( I tend to do that , a lot!). Some even laughed at me when I said the paper was "shit" and I had a panic attack. IT WASN'T ONE BIT FUNNY. Think some people need to learn when to laugh and when NOT TO. Wasn't exactly offended but I kinda felt helpless haha.<br />
<br />
Maybe... I'm not so great at multitasking afterall. High time I prioritize ;( </div>

So, my piece of advice to those who are going to sit for any sort of examinations; make sure you get SUFFICIENT SLEEP the night before, NEVER EVER pull an all nighter prior exam day, JUST KEEP CALM and do whatever you can (because it's not like you can memorize anymore facts/theories at the eleventh hour, so just do what you can). Speaking from experience! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, its over and done now. And it's time to get back to work, and get my well deserved holiday!<br />

Quite a lot happening this week and I can't wait for my long awaited holiday. Will keep you guys posted whenever I can. I don't know but the blogosphere seems to be dying ( and I can barely find time to blog anymore). Funny that there are still quite alot of budding bloggers filling up their blogposts with "same face , different poses" pictures and I just DON'T GET IT. Okay, I better hush hush. </div>

Just gonna do a quick one - I am officially a Radio DJ on FLYFM ( weekender) and tomorrow's going to be my first ever weekend shift!! *super stoked - I'll be on air from 12pm all the way to 4pm. Oh yes - before I forget. After much contemplation, I've decided that my radio name would be MAGGY instead of MAGDELINE. Do tune in if you've got your radio around ;) xx </div>

There are so many people that I'd like to thank - Prem (my sifu), Andrea Fonseka who believed in me and helped me out during the very beginning, Adam who also trained me before he left, all my bosses who has been constantly giving me constructive criticism, my family and friends who has been there providing me all the endless love and support! Thank you so so much everyone who made this happen for me.</div>

I don't exactly know how to begin writing this post. So many things happened within the course of the past 2 months - and I kid you not, so MANY things happened. It was a helluva roller coaster ride ; one that I would wanna be on again ;) Met people from all walks of life, and I cannot be more grateful for all the opportunities that chanced upon me (thank you the Great man up above!) Well, there are some nasty and selfish ones but hey, who am I to judge? Anyway, I'd rather sum them up in pictures because, if I were to talk about each and every one of them ; I reckon it would take a day writing and another to edit. So yup, keeping it short and sweet. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was one of those very very rare jobs that you get. And by that, I meant.. hmm, how should I explain. It's like getting a jackpot without even buying the ticket haha. You get the drift? Got a call from the director and BINGO - I got the job, without even casting for it. Very very lucky I would say (saves alot of hassle you know!) And was flown over to Penang two days after the call. Everything happened so quickly - and this was .. 2 months ago? I'd like to think it was my lucky month because.. jobs didn't come as easy after that! (haha). It was a pleasure to finally work with Peter (one of the best directors in town!) and Dennis Lau ( also known as The Violinist). Great people! x </div>

And then, there was the annual Passion For Fashion. I've got a secret to spill. Attended this party 3 years ago and it was how it all started. Who knew.... that I would actually have the opportunity to be a part of the PFF 2013 - definitely a great experience! Twas also my very very first runway job since my Miss Universe Malaysia days. Oh man, how time flies! Was an honor to be donned in Luve Luxe by Hui Jean & Lexy Lyla by Dawn Yang - loved their collection! xx </div>

2013, also the year I got my very first acting role *jumps in excitement (besides TV commercials lah - its so different, I swear!) Just a very minor role, as the supporting actress in Episode 7 of WHAT IF (coming soon on 8tv); but it was definitely a great experience! Would like to thank Jehan Miskin for having me - learnt so much from him, definitely one of the most dedicated and creative director I've worked with. Suchitra was also a part of the production - you'll see her quite often in the show ;) The shoot is still ongoing for the rest of the episodes, but I'll keep you guys posted when it's out! Quite excited to watch my part - don't wanna be a spoiler but daym, I've not seen anything less bloody in my life! ;P Stay tuned xx </div>

Spent most of my weekends with friends & loved one since I'm always away from the family. Cannot imagine life without the joy that these people bring - love em to bits. Exams is just around the corner, so I'll have to cut down on outings and date nights :( You'll probably see more of me in the library for the next couple of weeks. Will be travelling to Krabi and Bali too - beyond stoked! x<br />

I really don't know what's with me and stairs. If you're wondering - yes! I fell again, and yes! the same foot and yes! the stairs again :( This time .. I wouldn't say it's as bad but the impact during the fall was pretty damn bad - went through excruciating pain. Missed a step and somehow sprained my ankle in my 4.5inches heels ; heels survived tho :P I've been having my ankle braces on and hey, I'd like to think its a blessing in disguise. Took advantage of being a temporary handicap .. getting parking spaces has never been easier! :P I should probably keep the braces in my ride for emergency cases, who knows? hah xx </div>

I have said this many times and I will say it again. I am not a fashionista ( unlike some self-proclaimed ones, no offense - but some really do make me "garu kepalaku"; because self-praise is no praise #justsaying) Anyway! I've been trying to put in a little more effort than usual to dress up a little more and I must admit, it sure feels good to pat on a little make-up once in a while and to walk in heels<i> (though I can no longer walk in em for a good one month now. pfft)</i> . And I am usually the .. shorts and flip-flop girl you see, so it's quite a big deal when I actually do 'not' put on my glasses to uni or anywhere besides attending events/castings. Okaylah, YOLO right? I'll try to dress up a little more from now on :P xx </div>

May is coming to an end, and June is fast approaching. Wow, it's scary how time flies. It felt like just yesterday when everyone was talking about the apocalypse / the end of the world and now - first half of 2013 is already gone! And what have I done thus far.. how many resolutions have I achieved? It's time for a reality check! </div>

Anyway, am currently hooked onto these two songs. And to that person who sent me the link of the latter song - "in these promises broken // deep below // each word gets lost in the echo// so one last lie I can see through// THIS TIME I FINALLY LET YOU GO" .. I have to let you go.. </div>
