"Auntie"

Was quite excited to browse through the many pictures which we have taken during our Bintan retreat and after looking at them, I was devastated - I realized I have grown fatter and I am in the midst of morphing into an "Auntie" (NoOOoOoooO~~!) Could it due to the irregular intake of royal jelly and primrose oil capsules? Insufficient jogging? Frequent booze guzzling? Or simply just the unkempt hairstyle which caused my face to look fat (I have since trimmed it to a nice blunt-fringe-bob when I came back from Bintan : P ) ?

Paranoid, I went to Aunt Helen's for facial yesterday. It felt good knowing that she had cleansed the dirt from my pores as well as tighten the skin around the circumference of my jaw (to prevent a double chin!) Bought a bar of seaweed soap from her as well (I realized I cannot use other from-the-shelf cleansers as they are too harsh on my delicate skin!) After spending 94 bucks at Aunt Helen's, both Fat Boy and I went to Pastamania to have our pasta dinner - I had marinara and without knowing, I had wolfed down the whole plate of spaghetti (how bloody sinful) Afraid, I went to burn the carbs from the spaghetti by pounding the pavement. It had been quite sometime since I jogged and it felt indeed great : )

Just now, both Fat Boy and I went to the gym to pound on the treadmill. Though he was not feeling too well, he went ahead because he did not want to disappoint me (how sweet!) After I lost 200kJ of calories and 500g of mass, we went to have bak kut teh for dinner : ) Because he was not feeling too well, I had wanted to send him home before taking a bus back home, but he refused. In the end, he sent me home despite feeling slightly weak.

Though sad to know that age has caught up with me (by looking at the texture and color of my skin), hope I can prevent myself from becoming "Auntie" by doing more exercise and not "conveniently forgetting" to pop my royal jelly and primrose oil capsules. I hope I can do it..

Before I forget, I am going to pop my Primrose Oil capsule right now..
