Not so yummy food with yummy results

This morning, I saw a number on the weighing machine that I've never seen since 2011, pre-Emma era. 😍

Wednesday lunch is salad day
I'm impressed I've held up with this Wednesday salad day lunch thingy for the longest time. 6 months? or more? 

Tonight I've got class so its early dinner at work.
Rolled organic oats with rock melon, dragon fruit and orange, all courtesy of my mum's fridge.

Happy Teachers' Day!

Saturday morning went for my fringe rebond, it couldn't wait till November. 

Hubs brought her for dental check.
The rest of the noon was spent nua at home. After dinner we went for our first time to Kallang Wave Mall, what took us soo long??!!?? It has NTUC Extra!!!

A train


I love this!!!! But Emma said it was scary, so I guess we are not taking this anymore.
Sunday

After our usual prata, we went to our personal indoor pg.


We went home and made 4 teachers day cards
I'm utterly pleased with my origami idea, Emma painted the sea, drew the sun and wrote the words.
Can't wait for next weekend! We are finally going Legoland again!

Eating clean

Or trying to lose some weight. Every Wednesday is salad day, so that solve my lunch, I bring my own salad (which my mum prepare actually). Tomorrow evening I'll be going yoga, so dinner will be:

Organic rolled oats, chia seeds with dragon fruit, kiwi and orange.

Actually eating clean is expensive you know? Chia seeds are exp, but it keeps you full. Supermarkets force you to buy fruits in bulk, which decreases variety. This is my 4th and last kiwi, they come in 4s minimum (I had the other 3 for Sat dinner, Sun breakfast and lunch). The last time I bought blueberries, I had to buy 4 packets at a go. Today I bought a pair of dragonfruit which my mum said they were overpriced. 

Alternatively, to make my diet more pocket friendly, I can just steal fruits from my mum's. My horror when I opened her fridge and saw dragon fruit lying inside, I could have saved that, so I just took another orange. Other stuff I'm eyeing at in her house, rock melon which she said not yet ripe, oranges, cherries and bananas. Not so keen on pears and apples cause they can't really survive overnight. 

Actually I've lost one kg, can lose another kg please? I've already given up on yohgurt, not too much to ask right?

August weekend

We started our weekend on Friday where Emma wants to stay over at her popo house. Two consecutive nights, and third night this week, what are the chances! Friday night, my parents took the baby and the car, we took the train to Vivo. I swear it wasn't for Pokemon when we decided to head there, but somehow, all our locations are all Pokemon-centric. We just wanted to go somewhere along the purple line cause we didn't had the car. We truely wanted to go shopping, I've got bowls and saucers as loots proof. But we found out it was an excellent pokemon place!!! Was happy with our pokemon loot, cause I caught enough slowpokes to evolved and another new monster I didn't had!
Saturday

Emma was happy that we went to her favourite indoor playground we haven't been for ages!







The rest of Sat and Sun morning was spent at home nua-ing. We did orgiami though, we (hubs and I) did penguin, nemo, turtle and octopus but I've got no pics for it.


Sunday noon ready for a party!
We attended Isaiah's one month!

Carnival Part II

We didn't manage to get lucky at the lucky draw, only manage to score a picture with these guys.
The carnival was really well organised, it was 2 to 6pm and had performances at the end, and of cause a buffet. Our 2nd time at this event, last year we hadn't moved in, but we attended as we have gotten our keys.
This weekend I found some super goodness at NTUC! Coconut ice cream! Super delish!!
And in other news, finally finalising this section at the corridor.

Another weekend at home (almost)

I'm in the trying phase of make up. After Etude House (total failed) and Laneige (I kinda like), I'm trying Sulwhasoo's cushion! 
After this and I'll decide which to use I guess. 

Had a dip in the pool on Saturday.

And we spent the rest of the day nuas at home.
After dinner dessert at Haigen Daiz
Sunday morning we had our usual prata for breakfast.

There was a carnival at our estate!



We went down for the free kiddy rides, free ice cream, candy floss, kachiang puteh, pop corn! It was nothing super fun actually, but I'm surprised emma said: It was so fun! She came up for her nap thereafter. Later we'll head back down and hope we win something for lucky draw!

Overnight oats

My last and desperate attempt to lose 2kg to make my life significantly happier. #firstworldproblem.

Overnight oats

- Strawberry (i only wanted 1 box, Jasons only had 2 for $9.90. End up buying from Cold Storage 2 for $9.90)
- Blueberry (I really only wanted 1 box, Jason had 3 for $9.90. End up buying from Cold Storage 4 for $8.80. NOW I have 4 boxes to swallow!! Why does no one sells in boxes of ONE?)
- Organic rolled oats
- Chia seeds
- Banana 

Now I regret not buying the mason jar from Target when it was going for $1. It would have looked prettier.

Aging

Why so difficult to lose weight now?
The last time i ran so frequent was during my maternity leave and was trying to lose my pregnancy weight. The amount I was trying to lose was much more than this. Now I'm just trying to lose 2kg, and I didn't even lose 1. Before all I had to do was to starve myself for dinner for 1-2 dinners and I'll be able to lose a kg, it doesn't work now anymore!

After my ran, I went to get us our usual breakfast. We have the same thing every week! Its super yummy though.
