The weekend's come and gone.. and I'm catching up with what my friends have been up to by reading their websites. I've been busy too, with netball and all. I made my third and fourth birthday cake for the weekend and both were smothered with M&Ms. Both cakes were for the same person and with the second being my first attempt at making a 3 layer cake (unsuccessfully I might add..haha).

Syer is my biggest helper when it comes to the cake making. I usually make the batter and she mixes the colours. I think the first cake we made on Friday was awesome because it was four layers (ala kek lapis!) and it was purple, pink, purple and pink. Lawa! It never takes us very long to make the cakes and we've already got a set recipe and we just variate it as necessary to get the right flavours and colours. I'm just happy because Fol says he likes the pictures I've shown him and I thought I'd shareee :-)


Anyway, angin ku datang untuk aku blogging because I was reading Fiz's blog and she was talking about her weight issues (or excess of, which I insist is not true!) and she talked about how unhealthy she is.. and me, being me, started thinking about how unhealthy I might be.

My usual day would consist of breakfast which would be a bowl of minibix (weetabix!) with a spoonful of honey plus some milk and drinking down a cup of milo (three/four scoops) to go with it. Mid-day snack would either be bread sticks with cream cheese or splendips (yum!) and sometimes if I'm lucky I'd have a banana (high fibre! :D) and I carry a bottle of water with me at all times in attempt for me to keep hydrated.

Lunch would come along and if I've got time to go home, I would and I would either have a bowl of rice with either chicken or beef (yesterday's leftovers) but if I'm lazy, I'd end up with a bowl of indomee with a cup of milo. BUT most of the time, I don't go home because I'd only have an hour gap before my next class and it'll take me 15mins just to cycle back and another 15mins to come back to the mechanical engineering area so I'd end up buying a baguette (prawn and mayo on brown bread if they have it) and if I've brought enough money (or I'm out of water), I'd buy a bottle of ribena (because I love that stuff). Mid-day snack would be a bag of crisps, usually Thai Sweet Chilli sensations or Lay's Paprika max ridged crisps.

Dinner would be my favourite time of day because I spend a lot of time in the kitchen just cooking for myself :) I usually have a bowl of rice and sometimes if I'm not lazy, I'd have chicken kurma, or daging masak kicap and so on. My dinner is usually very very Malay/Asian orientated. Pasta is a rarity because I'm not a fan of tomato based ragu and I prefer carbonara to anything else (minus the ham :p) and I'm not a fan of minced meat either.. so spaggetti is something I won't cook (never have and I doubt that I ever will). Sometimes I'd end up eating twice because if I eat before six, I'd feel hungry again about 8pm which is when my housemates usually have dinner..

Snacks available in my room are usually cadbury fingers (yum) or sensations. I keep masses and masses amounts of water in my room to ensure that I'm drinking enough. My only problem now is that I visit the toilet very often.

I'm a big eater, I have to admit but I suppose running as center during netball pays off. If I sticked to shooter, I'd probably be fat and lazy. Haha. Exercise-wise, I'd like to say that I do go to the gym a lot but life has me busy and I haven't had time to hit the pool because these days I'd rather stay in bed. I have netball every weekend for 2hours and I cycle 15minutes to class everyday and I'd cycle back -- making it a total of at least 20-30minutes of cycling a day.

So. Am I healthy?



Over the weekend, we had a surprise birthday for Naw, who didn't suspect everything and thought it was just going to be another Friday night at our house. I carried her on my back to the dinning room where her housemates and my housemates were standing about, shouting surprise. Hehe.

Dang Ganazz girls came to practice with LufBru. Fiz and Fets stayed over my place on Saturday night and we picked Erda up from her place and just talked and talked and talked + giggles. It made us miss Mas and War :-P The next morning, Fiz, Fets, Erda (plus her hubby and friend), Syaheir, Wani, Taufiq and I had breakfast at GoodLiffes before going to netball at noon.

Fets and I at GoodLiffes.
Not much longer until Fol arrives. In exactly fourteen days, I'll be with Fol again! :) My mum is arriving this weekend and I'm looking forward to that. The Battle of the BruSocs is happening that weekend as well, DG will be in attendance and I think I'll be watching the Loughborough Lightning match before heading off to the train station to get my ass down to London to see my mum the next day.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa. I can't wait.

love,
y
