31st Oct (Sun)

Ending my hatchday month with another of my favourite festival - Halloween... 😈😈😈...

home version of dressing up for halloween this year... wahahaha

same same but different... wahahahaha

爱屋及乌, rabbit is my current favourite animal, to the extend that it will be my next-in-line pet to be... 名字都想好了, 站站

WOOHOO!!!... i'm so proud of myself... these 27 days of a minimum of 10k steps/day this month is the reason i didnt become a flabby whale with all the hatchday feasts that family & friends had showered me with this wonderful lovely month... wahahaha

30th Oct (Sat)

a happy happy day with current obsessions... 😍😍😍

25th Oct (Mon)

Hatchday feast continues.... heee

my favourite go-to food; ramen followed by yummilicious dessert & tea @ Hvala, Chijmes; a super zen japanese tea-house style café with tatami seating and most tables lower than the benches...

Thank you mx for the lovely afternoon with yummies! 😘😘😘

modified the second page of my self-care journal into habit tracker #2 to motivate myself to practice on the keyboard DAILY... it has been at least 7 weeks since i last practiced on it and i'm back to coordinating my left and right fingers for line 1 of THE song... =S

24th Oct (Sun)

向阳而生的蔡妈咪 😍😍😍

hurray to completing the third week of daily exercise....

👍 for me, 👍 for lene, 👍 for cy

using this habit tracker added some rainbow-y fun to the daily exercise too... =)

and according to the 21/90 rule, if one can keep up an activity for 21 days and then 90 days, then it would become a permanent lifestyle change... and 90 days from today is 22 Jan 2022... 💪💪💪 for 3 of us, together, we CAN!!! =)

23rd Oct (Sat)

by right : walked 3km to joyce's place for a 10 lap swim then walked 3km home

by left : downpour while i was 4/5 into my journey... Compass One was just a shelter away so ended up 东逛逛, 西逛逛 there instead...

redeemed my hatchday bubble tea, sweet potato milk tea @ 100%, then walked home in the light drizzle.... quite shiok!!!

kenna misled by this pic while shopping at shopee supermarket the other day...

tasted meh... but still a happy date night... 😍😍😍

21st Oct (Thurs)

working @ a different branch this week so had the chance to 'revisit' the kampong which i stayed at when i was 12

passed by the stretch of shops where i bought my 明星闪卡 [childhood happiness was when i 'turned & tio-ed' my 刘德华 & 吴奇隆 sparkly & glittery cards], 蔡爷爷‘s house on the 20th floor where we enjoyed the right-in-the-face view of fireworks during national day, 蔡爷爷's resting place in the thai temple and the kopitiam where we had our family dinner every sunday of that year...

the mac where 蔡妈咪 and I camped at every sat after we were done with the canteen just because we didnt want to be at home early.... wahahaha.... also miss the 碗粿 @ bukit merah hawker centre....

tokens of appreciation from team lead and branch lead for 1/2 + 2 + 1/2 day of super focused work...

followed by yummilicious korean lunch & fried chicken dinner @ Claire's place with Michelle...

walked home from claire's place also couldnt offset half the day's calories intake lo...

18th Oct (Mon)

it's an afternoon shift day with a dinner date so had to force myself out of home sweet home at 8am for a 4+km walk walk in order to achieve my 10k step for the day...

luv my shadow... lengthy, thin and youthful... wahahaha

Pat insisted on jap buffet dinner @ Senshi Sushi & Grill as my hatchday meal... 谢啦！

these were just 2/3 of what we had... ate until i slipped into a food coma...

17th October (Sun)

happiness is when cy 100% sweet started our 8km hike with 'healthy' tea that has white fungus & wolfberries... wahahahaha...

non muddy walking path with towering greenery & NO SUN = my favourite kind of hike... =)

completed second week of daily exercise...

💪 for me, 💪 for lene, 💪 for cy

10th October (Sun)

having kakis to motivate each other to exercise every day is really effective... managed to clock 10k steps, inclusive of at least 1k skips, every day of the week ...

8th October (Fri)

walked 3km in the hot hot sun to Joyce's place for a swim

rewarded with a yummy home baked hatchday cake#4 as after swim snack before another 3km walk home... it's a burnt fats day... woohoo !!!

6th October (Wed)

Yuan & Cy threw a surprise hatchday celebration for me @ home sweet home by arriving unannounced with steamboat ingredients and the pot itself...

apparently they had set a theme "40 & sweeter" and came in pink... so changed into a pink top i did... heee

the best part of this celebration was that the both of them prepared all the ingredients and washed up after the meal... they really know me well... heee

糖糖四 (十) 啦 !!! on traditional cream hatchday cake#3

yuan prepared the pink & white balloons to match the theme... so cute !!!

ending the celebration with a human weighing scale challenge - guess the weight of the gold necklace + ring ... wahahaha...

we take challenges very seriously, to the extend that we wrote a contract for it... wahahahaha...

4th October (Mon)

from me to the fund back to me.... wahahahaha... totally dont understand this logic...

felt fat, am fat and am gonna be fatter this month from all the hatchday feasts... hence the motivation to start exercising AGAIN...

using the habit tracker page in the self-care journal that mx gifted to hopefully motivate me to exercise daily for a longer period of time... longest record so far was from feb to june this year where i lost close to 4kg... but has since put it back on liao... =S
