Eating Out Losing Weight

Due to a certain gluttony lunch activity today (buffet sponsored by boss, woot!), I have to force myself to go to the gym. I joined a Lesmills class called Body Jam (which I heard is a cardio exercise inspired by dance movement) which I suppose can make feel kinda less guilty after that lunch buffet extravaganza. =P But the studio feels so stuffy. After 30 mins has passed, the feeling inside the studio has resembled those of sauna. DAMN HOT.  This makes me wonder if I should just ditch the class or endure with a positive thinking that working out inside a hot temperature room burns more calories. Wait, does it? Oh boy, I've turned into an onsen egg inside the class. #exaggerating So far, the results from Google search has been quite a roller coaster ride of emotion: 1. Yes, as your body will burn more calories as it needs to cool itself (whoa!? sounds good!) 2. Yes, as your heart needs to work harder to both keep your muscles well oxygenated during cardio and...

Welcome to the wonder of role-playing-games (or in short, RPG). My friend has to brag about the upcoming Final Fantasy game for PS4 and here I am, without the console (and the money to buy the console), sulking on the corner of the room. *sob* While waiting for the raining cash from heaven, I am reminiscing my school-days where I spent most of my time role-playing different RPG characters in front of my old  retro telly. Now that I'm grown up (in age but not at heart apparently since I still get all jelly from my friend's FF post), I do wonder what makes role-playing the main character of RPG so exciting? Square Enix (the producer of Final Fantasy series) said that pretty emo teens are the magic RPG formula. Well I don't disagree with them as my beloved RPG main characters are Cloud Strife (FFVII) and Squall Leonheart (FFVIII). Tidus (FFX) is also pretty and young but he's not emo enough. #fangirlmode Are they your high-school crush too? =P

"Oh no, it's Monday again!"  I am too blues to face Monday in less than an hour. So I am gonna write a random excuses to justify why Monday is so unlikeable. 1. We don't really like our job Face it, most of us are working just to sustain life. And hence, as working is such a burden, we see weekends as a light at the end of the tunnel. Our euphoria moment. Obviously, we feel so depressed when it's over. 2. We are not morning person And guess what, the first day that you need to wake up earlier-than-normal (by normal here I mean 10AM earliest) is Monday. Yawnnn~~~ 3. We don't like to face certain people And these people usually exist in those places that we need to visit the most often e.g. office and school. Ughh. Monday is a bitch. (This may not apply to those working during weekends. =P) 4. We have not finished what we plan to do during weekends Weekend is too short. Well, considering the fact that there are 5 days of working days and on...

If you are wondering if I'm postponing my exercise plan again, well, you are not wrong. Hahaha. But even I know, that cannot be categorised as a good procrastination. So, if that's the case, is procrastination really a positive habit in life? Yes, I still believe that.  1. It gives you time to stop and breathe Living in a fast-paced environment leaves you a little time to stop and breathe while doing your never-ending activities. Procrastination gives you that chance to just stop, breathe and gather yourself together.  2. It lets you prioritise what really matters Procrastination gives you chance to just stop and prioritise which activity that you need to complete first. And this is especially important in your career. Although at this point, it kinda makes me wonder if prioritising is the better name of procrastinating skill. LOL.  3. It gives you the chance to enjoy things in life Like more sleeping times instead of hours spent at the gym. O...

Bummer. Why the fact that "plain girls win the boys" is a bad news for me? I super love wearing make up. Ever since I fell in love with them 4 years ago. Added by the fact that Korean style trend is easy to pull off.  I can say that I am super confident of my cat-eyeliner-drawing skill. And this makes me oblivious to the fact that none of my boy friends (not that I have many to start with) saying that I look good in it. They only said "wow you look different'. Then stops. And then most of them end up chasing the plain girl with nearly zero make-up (I really audit their picture sometimes) and most of the plain girls ended up married. Geez. Boys are such a liar (or maybe they don't have the guts? But let's not go to that direction here.) The point is, the new challenge for the day is how to underdress your face without looking like you just been overrun by a truck. Tough. But let's just do it. #todolistgettinglonger

I had a weird random early celebration of my birthday this year. On the last day of Lunar New Year holiday back home in Jakarta, my mum and I spent our lunch together at Sushi Tei, one of popular Japanese restaurant chain in Indonesia (full details here ). And the waitress asked us if there's anyone having a birthday this month. I, happened to have one. And after all our orders have arrived, they surprised us with...A BIRTHDAY SUSHI ROLL. Kudos to Sushi Tei for their creative customer service. XD
