炭水化物/糖 無し ダイエット～

As I have said myself in Twitter, I wanted to write a post about Low Carbohydrate Diet~. I've been recently (erm, around more than one week?) taking up a low carbs diet. Let me first start of with the intro. It's more likely a weight management program that controls carbohydrate and sugar intake in order to control weight. This diet is the easiest to take on, at least for me because I always eat really less rice, but I do love pasta and some of the cheese cakes, so it's a bit of trouble also. Basically if you did not take any carbs for all 3 meals for a week, weight will loss around 2-3KG, which is my ideal la. If it's inevitable to take on one of the meals you can also reduce weight, but slower, but will not increase.

Food NOT to take in low carbs diet is of course: rice, pasta, noodles, desserts, etc.. and it's because all these foods contains sugar (carbs is one of the sugar, I'm sure all of you already know). Food that is OK to take is: meat, eggs, cheese is fine, and whatever that has no sugar or carbs. But of course, don't la eat meat, chops and steaks for all the meal. To really follow a low carbs diet, one should take salads and light foods, and drink more water.

As most of my friends have known, I don't really eat breakfast, so one of my meals is obviously low carbs, safe to say zero carbs. Not eating breakfast is not good as well, but should replace it with sufficient intake of water. I could control my lunch rather easily as I used to be either in uni or at home. I would either take up salad or some vegetable chinese soup in uni:

My salad from Subway!~ I totally fancy them coz they have veges, TONS of olives (gotta request), and of course some meat which are not fried, just poached. For four days, I actually took the same salad and vegetable soup from the chinese restaurant for my meals. I could not stay zero carbs too long as my dad is the 'rice' kinda person, so he would want me to eat rice or at least noodles for some of the dinner. But still, for a week, I have at least 3-4 days of zero carbs intake; and the rest of the days only one of the meals with rice/noodles. As for drinks, I'll look behind the labels, and my limit of sugar level is 7grms. For teas and coffees I take them straight usually so am fine ^^.

My lunch today: scrambled egg (perfect after watching a whole night of youtube and bunch of recipe) + sausages + baked beans. Better with fruits ^^. **I know scrambled eggs sounds easy, but i'm not really good in cooking so gotta do enough research ma.

Pasta has the highest carbs/sugar level, and I really craved for some after one week. It's totally fine to reward yourself with some of the carbs meal after several days of proper control, so I plan to take my favourite pastas maybe end of the week, or next week~ I can't wait to eat pizza or burgers too, to make up for it, i may spend days focus on not having carbs.

Another good thing about low carbs diet is that it helps improve on skin condition and constipation. That is provided you take salads and soups instead of meat everyday la. I conpletely heart this diet because it can help me control my weight (even if not reducing, at least maintain) and my skin becomes better after the tons of veges I ate.

Peeps who can't live without rice (as much asians do) will feel difficult to go on this diet, but there's always so many other diet plans that suits you, just gotta search them up~ Good luck to all and enjoy your meals~

心はキュンほどのかわいい～

Am in the mood of cute and some more cute stuff, so I decided to post one about all the cute stuffs I saw and they really definitely did moved my heart!!>_<

I shall start with my Ichigo Scrunchie which I've made last week. Got the idea from Akiko and am really glad that it looks good.

 

Erm, please ignore the terrible sewing if you see any >_<. Am gonna make another same one as a pair (so that i can tie double pony on my head~). As for the remaining fabric, i'll use it to make a tissue pouch for myself ^^. I wonder will there be any left after i finish the pouch.

I was also indulging myself in Shoes lately! All the cute shoes around are just like calling out for me to get them. Somehow I realise that shoe shops in the malls don't sell much newly fashioned shoes, I guess people here would have to wait for like 1 year for popular fashion to arrive?

So...i'm gonna post some lovely shoe pictures here to satisfy myself, hehe.

 

 

For some reason, these types of sandals have been really popular in Japanese fashion (maybe since the last season, I don't know). I just love how it looks like, I could match it with lady-like clothings or even with plain jeans. I saw some of these sandals in the nearby malls, but all are in high price, like RM150-200 per pair? Sounds ridiculous since if I get it online it'll not be more than RM60. For these type of sandals, I'm only interested in either brown or light jeans blue (which is why I posted only two pictures of them ^^).

 

Okay, I just HAD to post these two pictures because it's really kind of my dream shoes now. I love how the formal school shoes looks like, and it's 10cm tall!!Both black and brown looks classic, will look good with or even without socks ^^. And the best of all is that it's shiny~ Am gonna really save up for both shoes. Ichigo walking shoes is really cute, but if I were to have them, i'll change the shoe lace to something more plain (like plain light pink or hot pink shoe lace), and I'll definitely remove that big piece of felt heart and the two pompom balls. Although I love cute stuffs, but I don't really like the idea of wearing toys out for a walk >_<..But i really do love the strawberry print ~

And of course, bodyline shoes are super attractive as well. But due to the higher prices than my other casual shoes, I always had to make a tough decision in buying them. Shipping is a problem too, getting expensive coz no more DHL, haiz...Maybe I'll get a pink one soon, who knows?

p/s: Wanna continue the post with more cute stuffs (socks, bags and many more!!), but this post is long enough, so i'll retreat for a moment ^^.

入学トラブル！！

I was nearly a Sunway uni student until I decided not to after going to the short 'registering' session with mum yesterday. First of all service was bad, the front desk's attitude was extremely bad and rude, my excitement to go study there had fade like 80%. Top up with the rediculous timetable and how the front desk lady said that I had to TRY MY LUCK in order to get into class made me reconsider. I wonder what's up with having more than 200 RETURNING students, does that mean that they have that much of failing students? Nah, I don't understand and I don't need to understand. Personally I really dislike lecture based schooling, expecially with that much of students in one class. All the while I think what really made me learn are those tutorial sessions that I went. 

I did not make Taylor's a choice at first because there're only weekend classes available. I do not really like my weekends being disturbed and so on. But if I compared to Sunway's stupid timetable, I would have a 6 days of full lessons (8am-10pm), not to mention that I always have to be in uni before 7am. It's insane and absurd. I don't think I can be any productive during that 6 days, and even my sunday, I wonder will I really absorb my studies. I was tired of having to stay in uni from 7am-6pm daily ever since my A-Levels until my degree. So any longer hours than that, I really could not accept that. So in conclusion, I had to compromise with myself and go for Taylor's and do their weekend classes. I really hope the Wednesday night classes won't crash too much with my guitar class. I don't wanna stop it now, it's sort of my only happy going class now.

 

 

Anyway, will go register for Taylor's this week, and hopefully I do not have to go through any more hassle (including the exemption thingy). Am praying hard that I could take the exam this year end and not dragging anymore. Oh and I have to pray for my wine course as I suddenly do not have confidence that my parents would agree for it (though I have sent my forms). I have been dragging this course for a year and I really want to know more about wine and spirits.

家につまらないから。。。

Okay, um, Akiko have been saying that my blog is DEAD, which is quite true. It has been like Months (omg) since I last posted. Rather to say that i'm super busy, I have to admit that i'm really slacking off from blogging, which is so not good! So I better buck myself up and start blogging no matter how short the post may be.

So...what happened since the past 2 months...Final exams, C2AGE 2011 performance, and stucking at home. I wonder if there's some other stuffs. About finals, I had to say, I never felt my degree is being a smooth-sailing one. Ignore the issues with some morons and idiots in the course, modules are always so dull and demanding to me. I know I just had to accept it and go over it like there isn't a choice, but feelings are still there no matter how much I tried to hide or escape from it. So, here comes, I failed like 2 of my subjects, still on provision and actual results not out yet, better not put too much hope on it.

What I'm worried of is not being unable to get my degree, I'm quite sure that I could pass my referrals. The thing that makes me go haywire is to start my ACCA course. The datelines are all jumbled up- Sunway uni wants me to get approval from acca, but the god-damned results is not out. And even if it's out, there's this massive problem with my referral exams. Not just that I have to get my maximum exemption from acca, which requires my full results, and again it's not out and I might fail it. Acca exemption dateline is July 31st even though the exam registration dateline is October =_=. Really very stupid considering the exam registration is so far away, but I have to submit the whatever exemption thingy before my certificate is out.

It's not that I'm overly looking forward to my new ACCA course I would say, but I feel uncomfortable staying at home since I will be labelled as a useless person. And of course I wanna get this accounting thingy over as soon as I can. If my registration were to be late, I can't graduate on next year's June, instead I can only finish it on DECEMBER 2012!!! Thats like half more year of craziness, which i'm trying my best to avoid now. And as most of the people know, I'm quite restricted in the places I could go (means I can't go anywhere without anyone). So by studying at least I can be out there, I can go see the world like 20% more than usual.

Enough of my whinning from my troubled study life (since there will always be trouble and I can't do anything but to just go along with the flow for now). I should talk a bit about my C2AGE 2011 performance. As usual I love going on stage, I still think that going up there each and every time is my best moments of life. Didn't take any pictures except for those who took my picture when i was on stage, am quite dissapointed in that. Oh but what makes me really happy is that there are people remembered me from my previous performance, you won't imagine how happy this makes me. I love the crews, people who I work together with even for just a really short while before the stage. And of course I have to thank my mum and sis who fetched and watched my performance.

There are still many things which I can improve on my stage performance, I'll definitely keep pushing myself to become better. Being on stage, I just felt like I could do anything; from sending mails to the stage manager, choosing my songs, editing, remembering the lyrics etc etc... I felt that I could pour my heart in deciding them. The short moment being on stage can be really nerve-wrecking, but after seeing that there's people who listenned to me, and gave me a clap, and remembered me, I got addicted to my happiness and I really want more. I do feel helpless before, since I'm practically choosing this alone, but there are some who supported me by telling me that my recordings were good and I should continue to sing and make my life out of it. All these good and happy stuffs makes me unable to turn back, I should have just go be reckless in my life, at least if I crashed I wouldn't have regret ^^.

So the stucking at home and rot part. Am currently wanting to get more performance, but it's really hard without transport. I can't really start up a band or some group too, since meet ups is demanding for me. I really can't wait for the day I can on my feet and start wallking on my own. Oh and I gave up joining the Music festival due to the lack of mood. I just hope that i can keep my dreams running, as well as my reality.
