In Nov, i decided i had enuff of my doughnut ring (on my waist) so i went on a diet. Still it didn’t quite work; playing tennis didn’t help either, so i thought i needed extra help from 3rd party. I told the doc that slimming pills won’t work on me, i’ve tried umpteen products on the shelf, from pills to tea to cream to what-nots. So i was skeptical.
Then i was amazed that i could actually order a whole table of dishes and i didn’t have appetite by the time it arrived. I could actually resist pocky, doritos, dafa and chips!!! Happy that my wrist reduced in circumference after that.
But after the 3rd week , it stopped working. Sigh. My fat cells were dying for “real” food. The catch? Doc says the body gets used to it. But other people’s bodies take 3 to 4 mths to get used to it leh… Oh well… bummer. My will power is just too strong - the resistance to be anorexic.
So when i met up with harry, e and tricia at Liquid Kitchen, harry forced me to eat chicken wings and bacon-wrapped sausage and all hell broke lose. I spent the last week eating what i missed for the past 3 weeks - muffins, dafa, cheetos, pasta, wanton mee and my glorious pocky! *money goes down the drain.
But i won’t eat donuts…
Since Nov…
flashback… usability videos got wiped out from the pc; went new water (finally!!!); sitex, inday, more usability evaluation… busy busy busy, hardly had time to rest.

IND day
It was good that Jean and i were tasked to help Rick while he was on reservist, at least now i know where to book 6 courts at once, get equipment like whistle and loud hailer etc. Most importantly, we had fun. I’m proud of my class who strived on in the basketball games, the cheerleaders who lent their voices, and the soccer boys who mingled with the yr 2. And my other classes who know how to have fun.
And i was proud that i played captain’s ball again, coz i fell cham cham in ite. So at some point, when they were fighting for the ball, Cherry and I moved back. We looked at each other… understood why we did so… *one sec… and we both laughed!
A tribute to the ants in my house
We’ve shared tidbits, plain water, coke, juice and even forrest’s food & water… someone’s gotta give ya. I’ve placed 12 ant baits in the house and 1 day later… you’ve laid there all curled up! wow, you mean there were so many of you?!? oops, i’m sorry.
A hardworking year
It’s coming to a year since i joined TP, i looked at my table organiser and i think i managed it pretty okie. But maybe samuel was right… i am a functional “c” and i’m truly a “s”. Truly, what kept me going is a bunch of sweet students, friends, pics, wed tennis sessions and comfort food.
End of HCI lessons
A subject that seems interesting to me may be such a bore for the students. I can’t wait to see their videos where they carry out the prototyping walkthrough and user testing.
Been wanting to study some more, my brain needs food too, i would love to do another masters, i would love to do hci, semiotics, or maybe education… but my mom will kill me.
