My Fluffy Life~

My goal is to walk 10 000 steps a day after reading the benefit of walking the steps and I didn’t have much time or commitment for other exercise or sports.After the first couple of days getting my pedometer, I walked for more than 10k for the next day.

I was happy about it and thought it is easily achievable as I walk a lot daily. Now I walked with my pedometer and my Samsung MP3 player.But to my disappointment, on the third day, I only hit 9000 steps!

I forgot to wear my pedometer a couple of time on the short visit to the loo and early in the morning.So today I make it a point to buckle it on my belt all the time! Hope I can reach 10k step today! =) 

A colleague of mine was so lucky to be able to have her honeymoon with her husband in Europe. One of the fascinating places that she visited is holiday gites in France.

The French countryside is a lovely and relaxing place with private holiday villas in Perigord Noir. She enjoyed the famous French cuisine very much and had a great time visiting the peaceful countryside as well as the castles and caves.

She recommend to us the many Perigord Pourpre holiday gites to rent which are very affordable and worth it. She specially mentioned the lovely hot tub covers!

If only I am as lucky as her to be able to go honeymoon in Europe someday! 

What would I do if I could just invest my money and do not have to work for a living anymore? I guess that would be like heaven! I am just not that type of person who enjoys working like some people do. I believe there is more than life than to be spending your 8 hours of precious days at the office.

My friend is focusing on promoting insurances for her career and believes me; she covers all policy from life insurance to auto insurance and even provide rv insurance quote.

She’s working very hard right now and aims to retire by the age of 40! Whoa.. about another decade to go and I wish I could do the same too. Just that I am not really into the field right now.

“The water is moving into the basement parking, please move your car as soon as possible” was announced from the PA system over the UOA building. It was raining very heavily again and as usual, it might be flooding again. 

Whenever it rains heavily for a couple of hours, the city always flood and it caused massive traffic jam. Sometimes the water got so high and get into the car that parked at that area. You could see many rv towing after that for vehicles that couldnt start up.

It’s a big city but a simple things like drainage is not properly controlled. What a shame and how it caused troubles to the citizen as it happens far too often!

I am on my new mission to walk 10k steps a day. It is a program for lazy, I mean busy people like me that do not have time to exercise.

And so I have bought myself a pedometer which I strapped on my pants everyday to calculate how many steps I have taken. I bought it at Tesco at rather a cheap price on last Saturday.No, I dont need any special shoes or breeches; just what I wear daily.

On Sunday itself, I have walked more than 10k steps! Whoa! I amazed myself. On Monday, out of my expectation, I walked more than 10k steps as well! I hope I can do it everyday and achieve my goals~

I haven’t been to a proper birthday party or any party for a long time. I think we sort of stop celebrating/gathering for birthdays or any occasion. Most of the times we just do dinner at restaurants between some close friends.

But yesterday, I followed Adam to a birthday party for a 49th years old ex-colleague. I love their spirit of friendship to celebrate the birthday for him on Thursday night! We bought him lovely macanudo cigars. There were colleagues many years ago and everyone turned up at the big bungalow house of one of them. It was a beautiful house and simply marvelous to able to own it at such young age.

It was suppose to be BBQ party but they changed to potluck at the last minute. There were a lot of food, alcohol and beer involved! And laughter and happiness too! Happy birthday, Sir!

When I was young I love April Fool day as I could make fun of my friends. Even my mum made fun of me once. But now, the day seems like a normal day to us when all of us have grown up.

I remembered earlier this April, I made fun of my ex-colleagues this year. We are all good friends and only two of them left in the company. So I fooled both of them on my way to collect my color printing; telling them that the other has resigned and confided to me! Funny thing that both really believe what I said and was shocked to hear that. But of course I told them soon after that and got a scolding from them. =P�

It’s almost ritually that I am having my own little tea time session everyday at work at my own cubicle. I need to eat something to ease my boredom and also my hungry tummy that digest so fast but couldn’t be filled too much at one time. At other times, I would have my weight-loss drinks.

For this whole week, I brought my own dragon fruit, the neon pink flesh fruit that is very nutritious and quite nice. On top of it, I also eat some other snacks or beverages! It’s a much look forward time of the day, like other meal times as well!

My other new favourites are now cherry & blueberries! But they are on the pricier side though..
 

I come to love buying dinner with my housemate after work. She would eat dinner if she doesn’t go to yoga and so she and I would walk to the nearby shop our house to buy our dinner together, after work.

Today I went with her again and I bought my favourite yam cake and fried. It’s delicious and after a couple of hours, I would eat an apple. It’s a nice dinner, better than eating rice or noodles all the time! And she told me about the new mbt shoes that she is crazy about!

Well, it is good and easy way to wind up the day..

I have a horrible realization today. Of the 9 hours I am in the office, on some days I didn’t talk to any of my colleagues entire day!I normally talk to them during lunch time and if I go out for lunch, I might not talk to them at all, although being in the same office room.Sometimes we talk about work and news like Outer Banks foreclosures but when there isn’t any work-talk, we might not talk at all.

Hmm.. I am being very quiet and neutral here in this company. But then again, it’s not that they are much of a chatters. The office is generally quiet all the time. I haven’t found a friend in this office yet, everyone is colleague now.

I miss my old company where there are many people and there isn’t a day which I never talk to anyone before. Though I once complaint that it is too noisy there. But at least I have many friends there. *sigh*
