I had a fancy donut on Wednesday which I couldn't refuse, especially
when I was starving. It was covered in sweet white & milk chocolate
swirls with a creamy smooth dark chocolate filling. Absolutely
fattening, but a delightful afternoon treat even for a non-donut-fan
like me. Jess was like a devil in angel's disguise when she offered me
that edible sin. And I totally gave in.

Sei-san bought me a box of chocolate cookies from Tokyo that I couldn't
resist! Yummy...

I am putting on weight, again. No surprises here.

I met Miss Gek for a pleasant Thai lunch yesterday at the restaurant we
used to frequent in Marina Square. We had rice with green curry chicken,
black pepper beef, tom yum soup and green papaya salad, topped off with
my favourite sweet red ruby dessert. Miss Gek was my colleague from CMA
who's also a Chinese pastor in her church. Maybe it's the peace of God
that's overflowing through her, but simply spending time with her makes
me feel calm and happy. I've never seen her lost her cool, and she's
stable as a rock, someone whom I trust. I hardly trust anyone at all,
but she's certainly one of the few.

For dinner, I had Koko Krunch with Vitasoy. It now has 2 flavours in the
box, the regular brown one and a white chocolate flavour. It was
actually a healthier option I took when I was tempted to grab a pack of
salt and vinegar chips off Cold Storage's shelves. Then I had sour gummy
worms coated in sugar and snacks while watching ANTM. I felt like a
chubby kid all over again. Many years ago when I was in school, there
was an American TV series called Models Inc. which I was glued to. The
show portrayed all models as bitchy. I think I somewhat know what they
mean.

Eighty-eight percent of women have cellulite, and there are mainly two
reasons for it:
1. Oestrogen. Though essential to women for many functions, it is also
responsible for storing fat just under the surface of the skin.
2. The structure of our connective tissue that separates fat cells into
compartments. While men have horizontal or crisscross patterns to those
compartments, women's compartments have a honeycomb appearance, giving
fat a greater chance to protrude or bulge, hence the cottage-cheese
effect.

I think it's so unfair that women have to go through so much in their
bodies compared to men.

For dinner, I had chicken kebab, fragrant yellow rice and Cairo lemon juice at a cosy Middle Eastern restaurant on Baghdad street with my Jade House gang. Then we proceeded to another 2nd level shophouse for some mango-flavoured shisha, and I loved it! I was completely hopeless in making the shisha water bubble the first time I tried it, about a year ago. This time, I somewhat got the hang of it and kinda like it! I think the shisha pipe itself makes a pretty table decor, don't ya reckon?

Still feeling peckish, I got home and stated munching on my heaty snacks... until I woke up and fell ill the next day...
