Update on Yung Yung, a blog talking to herself.

OK, in effort to not make etchy more guilty than I have made him, I'll stop talking about ..... ok, I shouldn't even mention it.

WARNINGS! DO NOT READ BELOW UNLESS YOU WANT TO ENTER THE ZONE OF A YOUNG WOMAN TALKING TO HERSELF~SOMETHING YOU DON'T USUALLY SEE OR MAYBE DO NOT WANT TO SEE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP HER "PERFECT" IMAGE IN YOUR MIND AS SHE CAN BE UNBELIEVABLY SILLY AND YOU MAY FIND THE LANGUAGE A LITTLE BIT UNCOMMON TO HER REGULAR SPEECH! - end of warnings!

Now, update on me. TT I just received a warning letter to lose 8lbs in 3 weeks... wait... this month is july, yea, so it is exactly 3 weeks. So, I am going on a made-in-hell diet. O... no.... I don't really feel like going for exercise especially in this weather. Ammathy kept reminding me that I gotta stop my love for food. No more fried, pan-fried, or stirfried food.... no more stir-fried? then I only got steamed and boiled food left .... that is kinda harsh.... coz u dun get much steam-food outside, no more stir-fried? TT can I get stir-fried with minimal oil? Actually, I dun eat fatty meat already. No, Ammathy my favourite is not Fried Eel but steamed eel or Grilled Unagy. Coz I love grilled nor fried food. Yes, I know I know, I will leave Eel out of the menu for at least 1 month. No, 2 months I can't guarantee but 1 month at least. ^^ I think people will agree I am not "FAT" as in FAT-FAT, I am chubby and that is the hardest to get rid off! The CHUBBY-NESS, the last 5-8 lbs. God, I wanna curse. ok.. I shouldn't. But I know I gotta do this for my own good, since, artists are "supposedly" hell-thin. (can you see my fingers making that " " mark and my eyes rolling?) BUT TO say the truth, I know that Ammathy is loving me that she is writing me that letter. T__T Thank God I still can have cherries. If she says "no", I'll just drop dead. I mean literally,...... DROP DEAD.

AND i have to sleep earlier... I am trying to adjust.... slept at ... was it 2 or 3AM last night? hey... dun say that's late. That is an improvement, since for some undue reasons that I still can't figure out, I tend to sleep earlier and earlier every night, early in terms of early in the morning, 5 or 6 AM. My goal is to hit the bed, latest 1AM, coz I know I hardly ever make it 12AM since I came to HK for the last 2 years and I have never hit the bed earlier than 11PM for the past 10 or more years, so, I can just forget about trying to live healthier than Ammathy who goes to bed at 10PM. I know what I can and cannot do, or to be more exact, what I can and cannot sustain doing as a one-off thing is nothing more than just "NOT useful" (did I just say "not -ful" instead of "-less"? Good, I am still speaking with tact here!). So, if I can get on bed around 12-ish... God bless me.

I am also going to take an acting course in August with an acting teacher from HKAPA who gave Annie Lau and I a private intensive course 2 years ago. That is one thing to be excited about. The course is designed to prepare the students to deliver a "no-time" act on the spot, i.e something like casting act where actors are given little or no time to prepare or think about the act or scrīpt at all. Great to hear coz I NEED THAT!

My next thrill is to take a dancing course, maybe jazz or modern dance. When I first heard "jazz" 2 years ago, I literally thought jazz music- jazz dance. hahaha.... silly right? anyway, it turned out to be a blend of modern and ballet... at least that is from what I observed. :P

Longer plan for health is to pick up YOGA once again. Coz... really, I am not an aerobic type of person.... n I "used" to hate to sweat. I like strength and resistance building exercise instead of speed and contraction-muscle building exercise like running, gym, etc coz that was what I was taught since a kid. The most straineous exercise my mum allowed me was 1000 sit-ups n back-ups a day, that was as far as I got with numbers. I used to swim 2-3km a day during secondary school but that was about it. Never running, jumping, etc etc.... no no! Picked up pilates n belly dance in Uni and had literally stayed on Yoga and pilates since then. O, I did hiking for around 1 year in HK but I dejected the way it shaped my upper thighs.... yikes.... no good. I looked like a construction worker.  Come to think of it, I haven't done much exercise since new year. :P MY bad. As I said, I'll pick up Yoga soon. Promise. ^^

So, this month would be mainly about hell diet. PLUS by eating so little, I need to adjust to having less energy before my body get used to the diet n can operate normally. Am I giving myself an excuse to not exercise JUST YET? YES, I am but I am giving myself an excuse anyway. Coz, not being able to eat is making me hell unhappy n I dun wanna strain myself to push myself to exercise while being unwillingly unhappy. Am I making any sense? But I promise I will start exercising soon... just not in these 1-2 weeks..... just yet. T_T

How come I suddenly feel I am going back in time to my elementary years? Yes, I started hell diet since elementary thanks to Mum. Ow.... Have I shared that I went to study overseas since I was 12? Each time I am going back to meet my parents, I will go on this crazy one month diet to try to get back in shape BEFORE meeting mum... as God bless Ammathy, she is a honey mum compared to my real mum. If you meet me around my family, you'll see a poorly stressed Yung Yung. Coz... meeting and being around mum is nothing less if not more than going on a peagant competition in almost every aspect. God... I never hear my mum complemented me..... in anything. Mum started hell-regime on trying to make me her little-well-behaved princess since I was 2 or 3. Maybe that was why I left home to study abroad so early. AND NOW? haha... I just laughed her off.. I am too much of a grown-up to bother to listen to her trying to make me a peagant-class beauty. Btw, mum never allowed me to enter peagant competition, not that I was interested ever, but what the point of all these strict-regime then? God knows her answer.

Yet, now that I received the warning letter.... I am wondering if I should have listened to mum.... Wait.. why am I talking about my mum? haha....

AM going to the dentist tomorrow.... GETTING MY TEETH POLISHED  

Wish me luck on my hell-diet, ok? Love ya!!!

(if your name is Ammathy, you can just pass reading this part below :P)

Yai Yai is up and going, a little weak on her leg still but at least she can climb up her little tube to the second floor. Guai Guai has been jealous of me just taking care of her "bigger-sized" roomate that she'll come to give me light-bites each time I open the cage to caress Yai Yai. I never know that hamsters can feel jealousy too.

Xu Xu is fine and happy apart from being bullied by Yai Yai. He is well toilet-trained (in his cage only of course) now. ^^

And Yes... Yai Yai Guai Guai gang leaves in a different cage from Xu Xu. Don't think I want Xu Xu junior just yet. My friend commented yesterday "Can't believe that your 3 hamsters need more care than having dogs as pets! Plus why do they have 5 cages anyways?".

I can see what  you mean.... well... I need to feed them 2 times a day, change their toilet sands, change their bathing sands, wood shreds, bathe them, clean them, dry them, talk to them, walk them, caress them, say good morning-goodnight, "bye bye" before I leave home, "hi" when I get back home, etc, etc and all that times 3. So.....  

Erm... erm... They have their main cages and 1 spair cages to put them in when I wash their homes and 2 travel cages..... ok they are spoilt
