So I have finally chosen an outfit for the engagement affair. The chosen mak andam is really my kinda people. Meaning to say, she too understands why a girl like me can never have flowers in my hair. So she rocks! A month more before my final fitting and if Life continues to be kind to me, I would have lost a couple more kgs on top of the 4 kgs I have lost since she last took my dress measurements.

I have been putting off a few minor purchases for the engagement affair and I really think its high time I head over to Ikea and get things done.

On another note, the man faces an important exam today and I really hope he does well enough to make the temporary distance between us worth it. I miss him. More than I thought I would.

Gonna go catch a movie. Really wish I am with my man right now. On a brighter note, it is less than 4 weeks till I get to pinch his butt again. Ok not really.

Gave in to one of my (many) cravings today...

Koka's Low Fat Non fried instant noodle in curry (above pic is in spicy sesame chicken flavor which I have yet to try) is surprisingly gratifying. Not quite like good old Maggi, but it has an interesting chewy like texture to its noodle. I kinda like it, for now.

Being on diet sucks. I am never one who exercises portion control or counts calories. So this new lifestyle is taking its toll on me. I do, however, like the almost daily morning/evening runs. I forgot how liberating it feels after a good run and I don't remember why I even stopped running a year back.

My cravings for fried food have considerably lessened. I have found some great alternatives to meat. Eating a handful of chickpeas makes me momentarily forget about having a juicy fat marbled steak. Hot drinks will make me feel a lot fuller than cold drink does. An orange satisfies my sweet tooth. The smell of my cocoa scented body butter satiates part of my chocolate cravings.

I do not want this to be a part of another diet phase. I really hope that this time, it will become a part of my lifestyle. And I really hope to get smaller thighs soon.

Really soon.

Not a good idea to think a little bit of mindless internet surfing would eventually put you to bed. Especially when watching Nigella Lawson on YouTube. Cause now I am very awake, salivating and ravenous. Shall.Resist.The.Kitchen.

On another note, made a sound decision to change my Mak Andam for the engagement affair. 1st meeting with the new Mak Andam next sat and I have till then to pray she really is as good as her portfolio appears to be and she has the patience of a nun to work on me, as some of us already know, I can't sit still for more than 15 secs.

The man is, surprisingly, as involved in the preparations albeit the distance. A good 2 hours conversation through Yahoo Messenger (skype was being a heinous bitch) pretty much settled things. My initial idea of a white and blue candy bar is going to be a white and chocolate chocolate bar. I am almost more excited about the chocolate bar than I am about the whole affair itself.

Almost.
