Of life.

I think I have changed a lot from 6 years ago. Character wise not as much, more in my thinking.
I've lost interest in almost everything. It's really hard to get me interested in stuff right now. I find everything boring and would rather stay at home most of the time. Not sure what caused the change but I really don't like myself right now. It's really scary to not have a goal in life.

Having thought through many nights, I have decided that this is not going to go on like that. I need a change. To change, I need to change the way I think, the way I feel and also my attitude of life and the things around. I also need to be less harsh on people.

1. I need to be more positive.
2. I need to go ahead and do stuff that I want to do instead of just thinking of doing it.
3. I need to appreciate people around me and the things that they have been doing for me.
4. I need to reconnect with people.
5. I need to find a goal in life.

To be able to work on the above 5 points first will be a good start. I decided to pen this down because I want to constantly remind myself of what I have to do.

For a start, I have finally gotten down to register for the language class that I have been wanting to take since forever and never got to doing it. I have wasted a lot of time procrastinating but it's never too late to start right :)

Here's to a better me!

Braces update! (11 Weeks)

Here's another update of the progress of my braces at 11 weeks! 

The lower braces is FINALLY on!

My teeth is getting there! OMG. 

Happyyyyy!

Braces is truly amazing. Though it hurts, being able to see progress a few hours after changing the wires always amaze me and the pain is all worth it. My only regret is not getting it earlier.

We got married (Global version)

Recently I've started watching we got married global version. The 2 couples ' Gui Gui and Taecyeon' and 'Fuji mina and Hongki'. I LOVE the Fuji x Hongki couple.

Fuji Mina is SO PRETTY. Her eyes are perfect. She is perfect! Hongki is so adorable too! Being so different character wise and also even though she is older than him by 2 years, they do click quite well. Hongki is playful/cheerful but at the same time really thoughtful. The proposal was really sweet and he's a really good singer! I admire his character when he said 'I'm always happy/cheerful.' Some couples in this show make you feel so loved. This is one of the couples :D

' Gui Gui x Taecyeon ' is cute but they really feel more like a brother sister couple or good friends. I think language is a major problem for them cause Gui Gui could not communicate her feelings well enough to him.

The global series is shorter than the normal ones so everything is progressing very quickly. Only a short 15 episodes for both couples. Would be nice if it was longer :)

Insanity work out

UuAfter the first session of insanity, I had a 2 months break. I should not have stopped. Initially, at the end of the first session, my stamina was really good! Much better than it has ever been. I stopped when I had my wisdom tooth removed. Then I became lazy.

I lost 5kg from the first session of insanity. My abs were showing slightly. I really regret the break!

Now i'm starting the second session. The first session after the break was HORRIBLE. I was alright but really not as good as I was. Hopefully I will improve and be able to keep up soonish. I'll try to eat healthy but probably won't be as strict as I was.

To those who are not familiar about the insanity workout, here are the different workouts that they have:

In the first month, we will rotate from 1 to 5. Second month from 6 to 10. There is also a fit test every 2 weeks. The 2nd month's exercise is hell but it is all worth it. The muscle ache is addictive.

You can find out more about the exercise here: http://www.beachbody.com

Wish me luck! Like what Shaun T always say: DIG DEEPER! COME ON Y'ALL!

HATer Snapback

Recently, I've become slightly obsessed with snapbacks after getting my first Hater Snapback.
I got my Hater Snapback from Japan which is slightly more expensive than it is in Singapore.

Picture of the Hater Snapback that I got:  (picture credits to the website that i got it from)

Oriental Flowers

Loving the details

It's so easy to just put on the cap on a bad hair day. Now that the caps are so pretty, it's a really good fashion accessory!

ThyPaperCrane also recently had a Haters Snapback Giveaway! The floral prints are to die for! Congratulations to the lucky winner who brought it home :D

There are still so many pretty designs that I want :X
You can check out their facebook page for more of their designs!

I am also looking for this Iron Man Snapback! It's the one that HAHA wore in running man!

Minions!

I bet most people have already caught the movie ' Despicable Me 2'. I caught the movie awhile ago and I LOVE the minions. The story line was so-so only but the minions made it so much better!

I ordered these minions from USA and got them shipped back as they cost a bomb in Singapore! S$120 in singapore VS USD34. Shipping was not cheap but buying 3 from USA and shipping it back costs much lesser than buying 3 here. Took about 2 weeks to get here. Tim's my brother's birthday present, Stuart is CW's birthday present while Dave is mine!

So I have Dave, Tim and Stuart! Here's a short video of them. Pardon the bad quality and hardly audible sound cause it's my first attempt doing this.

Initially before I got them, I thought Dave would be the best choice but I was wrong! I LOVE TIM! He is the singing Minion, Dave is the Talking Minion and Stuart is the Laughing Minion. Tim can sing 3 songs, Dave farts and eats bananas. Stuart does the Beedo Beedo Beedo. They are so much fun! Material is soft so it should be suitable for young children. Box states ages 4 and above.

Anyone owns them too? Are there any special tricks that's not written on the box?

Nutella cheesecake (No Bake)- Cooking 101

This is a really easy recipe. As I do not have an oven at home, I always look for no bake recipes. This recipe was taken off Nigella. The original recipe has chopped toasted hazelnut but I couldn't find it in the shops near me so I decided to do without it.

All the ingredients used minus the hazelnuts

Ingredients 

- 250g of digestive biscuits

- 500g of cream cheese

- 60g icing sugar

- 75g unsalted butter

- 400g Nutella 

Method

- Break the digestive biscuits into a bowl. (small crumbs. I used my hands to do this and it took very long and I ended up with sore fingers. You can use a food processor) 

- Add butter and 15ml of nutella and mix until it becomes a damp, sandy mixture. (smells really good)

- Tip into a 23cm/9inch round springform and press into the base either using your hands or the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge to chill. (I left it for 1 hour)
- Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and then add the remaining Nutella to the cream cheese mixture, and continue beating until combined
- Take the springform out of the fridge and carefully smooth the Nutella mixture over the base.
-  place the tin in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight. Serve straight from the fridge for best results.

Before going into the fridge

Not evenly spread out

The cake layer seems alittle thin

Not evenly spread

 I think this recipe is too sweet for me. It tastes great, just too sweet. I will probably cut the amount of nutella by half! Another success! I probably will get laughed at by seasoned bakers with my horrible baking skills and cake appearance. Don't mind getting feedback to improve myself :D
