My Fluffy Life~

Lately I have been sleeping very late at night, about 1am to 3am sometimes! And it makes me feel so hungry to stay up so late. Thus I’ll always indulge in my latest favourite drink, decaf coffee with milk and some biscuit or breads or some junk food! I must say it will certainly pile up some weight on me! Well, if it really got out of hand, I probably try the Leptovox to effectively lose the extra weight.

But anyway, Chinese New Year is just less than 10 days to go! A festival of good food!

Today K and I were invited to a house warming of his friend. The couple had just newly moved in to a lovely condominium and they showed us around the house. We were impressed by the plaster ceiling that they did for the whole house and some fascinating lights. All the furniture is brand new and they even have some cool ellipticals in the living room. They could just work out while watching the TV.

I am impressed by their new home! Maybe I can steal some of their design ideas for my own home next time!

For this coming holiday, I wish we can go somewhere for a nice holiday instead of celebrating it like the previous years in my hometown. I know some of my friends actually take the opportunity to go for family vacation together. It would be fun to go for holiday during Chinese New Year. Serene and her family are going to have a superb Vegas vacations for 7 days!

I wish we can afford to do that as well. Probably then I would not dread the holiday so much like I do now.

The other day, my friend and I had dinner at a restaurant in Uptown after work. After the dinner, we were planning to go to Ikea to find some photo frames. But to our surprise, we couldn’t start the car’s engine! It has been a while since he last changed the car battery and we suspected that it died. We called the auto insurance service to send someone over. The mechanic came in thirty minutes and changed the battery and advised us to change some of the performance parts.

It was my very first experience of car break down but luckily it was easily solved. =)

After walking for about 5 hours, including shopping and taking public transportation, walking to the mall; I found that my right knee sore a little again. It only happened when I walked for a distance or carry heavy stuff like my laptop bag. I am very worried as I am quite young and my knee should be working fine at my age. I didn’t want to end up like my aunt at her age, where she has difficulty walking for long distance and wearing Plantar Fasciitis for her heel pain.

Maybe I should consult the doctor and see what preventative method that I can take before it becomes more serious.

I have been feeling very unproductive the whole week as I didn’t get many things done and I wasn’t even busy at the first place! Laziness crept into me when I have no plans whatsoever. And I wasted a lot of precious time. I should have gotten my errands done. At least return the 2 novels that I have read and get some dog supplies that have been running out for a week. And yes, try out some new recipes that I have been wanting to try for a long time.
I should plan my time better and not look back at this stretch of unusual free time in regret!

I have been working from home for quite some times now and it does get a little lonely once in a while. And on top of that, I have been munching non stop, 6 meals a day for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, supper and snacks. That is always what I do when I am bored, eating non stop. If I don’t go back to the office soon, I’ll have to start scouring for good and efficient diet pills!

So, any good recommendations?

I am just so not looking forward for the Chinese New Year celebration that comes earlier this year! I am just not prepared and besides, I don’t find it as enjoyable as I used to be when I was a kid. I just hope I can escape this family gathering to some fabulous Outer Banks rentals vacation. I bet it would be so much fun compare to lazing off in the house for a week. But my parents probably kill me if I do that. So well..

MJ informed me about the Sogo member sales tomorrow near her office. I so wanted to go since it is near to Chinese New Year and I haven’t gotten my New Year clothing. But too bad that they require membership cards! And although MJ has the member card, I felt that she is reluctant to borrow me if I go earlier than her. But she only wants to go after work which is too late for me.

Probably I’ll give it a skip and goes to other warehouse sales with AV instead!

I have read an article about how the internet shopping will bloom despite the glooming of the world’s economy. It is true as they could provide cheaper price, fabulous sale, no tax, and easier comparison with other online stores, reviews from user and most importantly, most stores provide free shipping!

Stores like buy.com also have everything that you need, from exercise equipment to jewellery, clothes, electronic stuffs, software, camera and etc. How convenient it is for your needs to be delivered right in front of your doorstep with no extra charges.  

To me, I am always excited to receive the products that I have ordered, wrapped nicely in a parcel. =D
