The Time Has Come


Wow, two blog posts in one week, i must be considered a blogger now.
Kidding.

I've been bumming around so much that if you're a frequent reader of my blog (thank you so much), you would know that i've been going through a fat phrase recently hence the ginormous lack of fashion posts. Read post here.
And i know i've been so religiously proclaiming that "Oh, im going to work out and get thin and feel better about myself" but seriously i am all talk and no say and for the last and final time, it's time to stop talking and start the action!

I seriously dont know what's wrong with me being a procrastinator and shit but i really need to stop bumming around and do something about this drastic weight gain. Remember the time when i revealed my weight to the world and went all nazi about my feel good, look good journey but you know me and no surprise that the "feel good, look good journey" has been pushed back from January till now.



Well enough is enough.
The time has come for me to move my sorry, lazy fat ass back to shape and stop moping around and stalking skinny girls and finding quick fixes for weight loss.
And because i would really like to look good for an upcoming thing and stop being all depressed and shit.
And to prove that i am dead serious about working out this time plus since a lot of you don't believe that i am almost overweight and fat beyond my height.

I've taken the liberty of showing you proof
aka a series of unfortunate, unflattering, grossed out pictures of my fat self.
(cant believe im doing this *facepalm*)
A picture speaks a thousand words.
Please judge for yourself

Hate my arms, hate my stomach, hate my thighs

Seriously, fuck my man-arms




No idea why i cant rotate this but it reads 46.2kg

It's undeniable really that i've got fats in places i wish were much nicer and that bulge on everywhere,
seriously just kill me now. 

But today as of 1240am on 29/4/2013 when i really should be sleeping since there's work tomorrow,
i hereby start my diet/exercise plan and will report to you guys back in 2 weeks time any progress that i've made so you can judge for yourself.
And i can motivate myself to look better since i've bared it all.

Hope these disgusting pictures don't kill my social life.
Sigh~

Till then,
Melissa

A Wild Adventure


Hello! 
It's been a while since i last posted anything remotely interesting but since i'm on the rare occasion that my laptop is switched on during the weekend (no thanks to work, boohoo!) i might as well take the opportunity to upload our zoo outing that happened just a few hours ago. 


So it's been eons ago since i last went to the Singapore Zoo but since my company is a corporate friend of the zoo, admission is free for 1 staff and up to 3 guests so Tim and i plus his second brother and gf joined us for the double date adventure! 

And off we went~

We were lucky because it rained just before we went but the sun was shining when we reached the zoo and after about 2 hours of roaming around, dark skies headed our way so we left, still dry and happy. The zoo has changed so much since my last visit and added in so much new exhibits and rides. The highlight of our trip was probably the boat ride otherwise known as the Pedro boat, named after one of the otters in the Night Safari. It was a relaxing, cooling and scenic ride around the seletar reservoir from one dock to the other and brought us straight to the white tiger exhibit!

Well worth the $5 we paid and best of all, great lighting and scenery for pictures :p

Eyeballs away




Otters are really freaking cute omg.












Everyone remember King Julius from Madagascar?





Taking a break after exploring the rainforest! The zoo is really pretty huge so remember to wear comfortable shoes for tons of walking. Half the time we were either riding the tram or sitting in the boat to get us from one place to the other. 



And if you haven't noticed, my outfit sorta matches our zoo trip since im donning my favourite tiger shorts to see the tigers at the zoo. As well as the other animals of course.


Feeding the goats for free
I love free stuff! :D








Boat ride!
Gorgeous scenery, cooling breeze and picture perfect lighting.


When you're ready, come and get it, na na na na ~

We didn't really get to explore much for the short period that we were there but it was definitely an enjoyable day. We managed to see hippos, otters, flamingos, white tiger, crocodiles, lots of primates, all kinds of birds and bugs and glimpses of giraffes and lions.  Go in the morning if it's not raining so you can cover more ground since there's a lot of walking and sight-seeing to do and you'll enjoy the experience a lot more.

Don't forget to indulge in your inner child and head over to the kids land at the zoo where you can see horses, ponies and feed goats up close and for free! There's also a mini waterpark there so children will definitely love it.

Word of advice
Try to bring your own food and water over there as the zoo is a tourist destination so prices there are at least doubled!

River Safari is only a stone's throw away from the zoo but we didn't pop by as we were running out of time and the exhibits are not fully opened yet. But our famous pandas, Kai Kai and Jia Jia are housed there so panda lovers, you know where to head to! 

It was a short trip but nevertheless, i always love spending time with tim as well as his er ge and er sao!
