hot hot hot!

what's with the hot weather in spring..top of 33C today nearly killed me. I'm suffocated without the aircon or fan.

ending up applying the medicated oil i brought from home on my neck and inhaling the oil deeply, like taking drugs, to cool me off...

spent the day burying myself into pages of new moon... Stephenie Meyer's collection is my current addiction... it's kinda cool to fall for vampire and werewolf =)

aw..i'm craving for watermelon crush from BOOST. perfect solution for heat =)

Confused

I am going to sit for my CPA exam on wednesday, less than 3 days from now.. I feel confused now..I'm sort of ready for the exam but I'm not sure if I can answer the 90 MCQ questions in 3 hours. And I still have 3 modules to revise...By the time I reach Module 10, I could have forget what I've read in Module 1 to 5..

Though it is an open-book exam, I'm still worried if I can flip through the pages to find for answers in a limited amount of time. I must at least remember the basic concepts without having to search for answers for every questions.

What I can do now is to hope for the best and finish revising the remaining modules, review all the SAT's questions and briefly go through all the modules again before the actual day....

Dear, God, please guide me through *finger-crossed*

Weight

While having my dinner, I watch this taiwanese variety show, "kang xi lai le" hosted by Xiao S on youtube.

On this particular episode, the female artists talk about how they lose their weight.

They are so obsessed in losing their weights because not only they don't eat but also don't drink for 24 hours.

The obsession caused hormone imbalances and hence, late periods. One of them actually hasn't had period for 2 years already. Gosh ..How scary is that? They should diet in a healthier way!

Girls always face weight issues and try various ways to lose the excessive weight.

I had this weight issue few years ago.

I was very slim before I come to Melbourne for further studies. I ate very little and didn't snack in between. Everyone thought I didn't eat enough but I wasn't. I just didn't have the appetite to eat. Mainly because most of the meals were prepared by my maid and I was bored eating the same dishes everyday.

It wasn't until my first year in Melbourne that I gained a whooping 10 kg in only less than 10 months. I never realised I have gained that amount of weight until people started to comment on my appearance. I was so depressed and decided to cut down the amount of food I ate.

I usually eat 3 big meals a day with heaps of snacks and never failed to have instant noodle for supper before I went to bed. That was my diet in melbourne. I was constantly hungry and always felt not enough of food.

I felt so big and heavy! Something was not right. I need to change my diet.. So I cut down 1 meal, the snacks, the supper and half of the dinner portion. Besides, I also made walking as my exercise.

The whole process of losing weight took me approximately 5 years because I still eat in a healthy way and I didn't do rigorous exercise. It was a slow and steady way of dieting and I never gained any weight since then.

My way of losing weight
  • no snack
  • no supper
  • 2 small meals a day
  • walk!
I lose 10 kgs and I'm now back to my original weight...

why caramello?





This is how I name myself caramello...

It's all started when I went to starbucks for the first time with my church friends during my first year in melbourne. I was so excited with this whole concept of ice-blended drinks because I never tried it before in my hometown. There were so many choices on the menu board but this particular drink called "caramel frappucino" caught my eyes.

So I ordered it and tasted it for the first time. I immediately fall in love with the caramel taste. Coincidently on the same night, I signed up for my msn account and chose caramello as my name.

Too bad caramello frapuccino nowadays doesn't taste as good as what I had before. It is so sweet and taste coffee-less, only cream and sugar. I missed the starbucks drink back then =(
