My heart says ;

no RICe for 3 days in a row~ Feels good, need alot of will power , mental strength and the ability to fight the aroma of those tasty yet fatty food!

No more "Kolo Mee" , Nasi LEmak or fried noodles~

Ru wondering why am i doing this to myself? Simple , FAT! I don wanna be fat, i had a nightmare and actually saw the FAT Version of Melissa! It was SCARrrrY! People were teasing the short and stunted round Mel and pushed me off a cliff where i rolled down wards with the force of gravity and landed ,cushioned by my fatty Bum before i fell flat on my bouncing belly! I think i may be taking this slimming thingy too serious tat i dreamt it into life!

Another reason is cos i wanna be prepared for Ray’s Hair Show happening on the 1st January~ Hopefully, i’ll look slimmer when i walk the runway (if there is one) …juz at least from a distance~ LOL~

So far, in 3 days, i lost 1.5 kgs.

Here’s my diet schedule ;

Breakfast : Wheat cereals/ Wheetabix with Low fat milk and a cup of coffee.

Lunch : Lugumes ( long/short beans, ladies finger, french beans ) , another type of vege and a type of meat, preferably lean ones, as a source of protein. Fruits.

                                         OR

Tapioca, sweet potatoes , raw vegebles like star vege, tapioca leaves ( add a lil hot water to kill the germs ) then "ulam" (dip) it with pickled shrimps or sambal.

                                        OR

Pasta, Spaghetti with Low Fat Cream… as good carbohydrates.

Dinner : Legumes ,lotsa vegetables , soup and lean meat. Fruits.

Note that i consume alot of legumes because they are a good source of protein as well which helps tone the body and once it reaches the stomach fo digestions, it expands, giving the feeling of fullness.

Surprisingly, i don’t feel as much hungry as before. Even with 3 heavy meals , that is!

Plainly, NO RICE! I do not know how long can i manage to survive this way…but im keeping my fingers crossed!

Going to May’s Bodyline to give their promotion a try. They are offering a selection of trials for RM 60…and u get to choose 2 items. I saw it in the papers this morning and on the paper it says, limited to the early birds only. So, i picked up the phone and dialled Kim’s number as she works there…i opted for the Tummy Tuck and the Cellulite Management, whereby they concentrate on the thigh areas. There are other rejuvenating trials like hydrotherapy, bust firming , bust enhancement…go check it out…offer ends on the 16th November!

MEL : Am i too late? Anymore slots for me left? Did anyone call to make reservations yet??

Kim : Errr…actually , ur the 1st one!

* Sweats * That’s how desperate i am to loose my weight!

I’m always daydreaming about the person that i just CANT have! Damn it Mel…
I’m listing down why i can’t even have him~or even KNOW him (in person)! *SIGH*

• He’s famous , I’m NOT
• He’s so famous, he’s busy all the time
• He’s so Famous that he would want a HaWT Chick GF…
• He’s too HOT to handle *sizzling*
• He’s there and I’m HERE, i actually got THIS (an inch of a finger) close to HIM! Damn it!
• He doesn’t even know i exist in this surface of the Earth…
• He can act so well, he’s so tall and fair and handsome
  

Wake me up when my dream ends…anyone can beat his criteria??? NOoOoO, i don’t think so…i have crowned him Malaysia’s Most eligible Bachelor~
Owh, Dream on MeL~ and hopefully i’ll dream u into life~
 

I really admire villagers tat live in really rural areas…they maybe poor in terms of money but they are very very rich in terms of simplicity and generosity. They do not fret or pout when facing problems, they survive with problems, and they need this to be independent.

Food for thought!

Back to the 31st Oct….

Alright, that’s a WRAP! I love Halloween, till the next one…..i’ll plan for a better costume…maybe Wonder Woman? Hehe~

Melissa has officially gone dress frenzy~

He arrived on Saturday noon and flew off in the late evening on a Sunday. Being a very honorable host, it was my pleasure to bring him around. I introduced him to my frenz, and he clicked with them in an instant! Well, he always gets his way with the gals anyways. Since there were not much time for any sight-seein around Kuching, the only plan i had for him was to EAT! Definitely no shopping…nuh-uh!

We enjoyed your company and you’re welcome anytime, Kuching will recieve u with open arms….

Hey ! It’s Halloween—time of the year that’s absolutely freakish and screamin fun. A time when the line between the world of the living and the world of the dead is the thinnest and you’re sure to feel the freak and scare with ghosts, goblins, witches and warewolves prowling all around—both in their selves and in costumes. Halloween is an occasion to let loose the naughtier sides in you—playing pranks, sprucing up in freaky costumes and scaring the wits out of your frenz & folks. The chill of rib-tickling thrill, a nip of spine-chilling jitters and a good fare of full-blooded scare (ooh, i like that) is at the heart of Halloween celebrations.

Now today’s Halloween isn’t the same as it was 2000 years ago. The history and origin of Halloween lie way back in centuries in the ancient Celtic New Year’s festival, Samhain. So much so that the customs of today’s Halloween are also rooted in the ancient customs of the Celts during Samhain, which was said to mark the end of Summer. Samhain, the Celtic New Year was celebrated every year on October 31—the day, which the Celts believed, was a day of the rise of the dead, when the deceased would wander the land to possess earthly souls. To keep these spirits at bay, the Celts dressed up as ghouls and monsters and put out all lights in their homes. With that, they ventured out as mischievous and wayward undoers willfully wantoning peace and property. The Celtic priests or Druids also built bonfires on this day and offered sacrifices. The idea behind all these was, of course, to scare away the spirits of the dead and avoid being “possessed” ! Now if you’re brainy enough, it won’t be hard for you to guess that the modern tradition of wearing costumes on Halloween traces back to this ancient Celtic practice !

The sinister attitudes of the Celts on Samhain toned down over the ages to give way to the less menacing attributes of today’s Halloween. The playfulness and fun side of Halloween was first brought to America by the Irish immigrants around 1840. Like for instance, the popular tradition of trick-or-treating on Halloween came from the Irish. This had been ‘gifted’ to the United States by the Irish immigrants who fled their country during the potato famine. The Irish celebration of Halloween or the Hallow E’en (evening of the Hallow), as it’s called in Ireland, means All Hallows Eve, or the night before the ‘All Hallows’. All Hallows Day is on November 1, and is also known as All Saint’s Day (a day to honor all the Catholic saints). ‘Hallow’ is an Old English word, meaning ‘saint’. November 2 is the All Soul’s Day—a day which honors all Christians who no longer live and were not saints. And the period of October 31 to November 2 is known as the Hallow Tide. Now, on All Hallows Eve or Halloween, the Irish beggars went asking for food or money from the rich. If refused, they were threatened to be destroyed by the evil spirits. And, of course, nobody wants to take a chance on Halloween. So soul-cakes or currant buns and candy bags chockablock with goodies were kept ready for the HalloweenDay.

Some even say that trick-or-treating sprang up in the Middle Ages and was called ‘souling’. On All Soul’s Day (November 2), Christians used to go begging from door to door for soul-cakes or the currant buns. In return, they prayed for the souls of the dead ancestors of the family who obliged. However, the term trick-or-treat gained popularity only as late as the late 1930s in the context of Halloween.

The very popular Jack O’ Lantern of today’s Halloween also has their origins in Ireland. As the legend goes, a notorious con-man named Jack once fooled Satan on climbing a tree and consequently trapped him by carving a cross in that tree trunk. He then extorted the Devil into agreeing never to tempt him again as a deal for getting him down. But, later when Jack died, not only were the doors of heaven closed to him because of his wrongdoings, Satan also denied him entry at hell due to the trickery Jack inflicted on him. However, Satan gave him a glowing ember or coal to light his way through earth. Jack put the glowing ember into a hollowed-out turnip and walked the land endlessly. This came to be known as the ‘Jack of the lantern’ or Jack O’ Lantern. Later, when this concept reached America, the turnip was replaced by pumpkins. Today, both on Samhain and Halloween, Jack O’ Lanterns are placed on the front steps of houses to scare away the ghosts. Quite a blazing thrill, isn’t it ?

Well when Halloween is in,  black cats *thank God i have white lil’ Snowy* will often cross your way or jump right before you from nowhere or give out a spine-chilling whine rending the silence of the night. Now Halloween may be a feline favorite, given the number of black cats you’ll spot during the Halloween days; but this association of black cats with the Halloween festival has its origin in the ancient Celtic beliefs. The Celts believed that the spirits of the dead shacked in animals (which were mostly black cats) during Samhain and Halloween. And therefore, people avoided meeting black cats on the way as it was believed to bring tough luck.* So be sure not to bump into one tonight frenz* Some even held the view that witches disguised as black cats and went about casting spells on Halloween night. However, black cats were convincingly considered faithful followers of witches at all times and have thus assumed an ominous role over the ages till date.

So far for the tidbits of Halloween history and origin, but there’s more to this fun day than just plain facts and beliefs. Halloween is an occasion to go wild and whacky, fun and freaky, to do crazy things, play pranks and get away with it. It’s an excuse to behave like a kid without having raised a brow ! Halloween is thus as much an adult’s favorite as it’s in rage with the kids. Nevertheless, there had been forces in history, and there still are, which try to abate the crazier and unrestrained aspects of Halloween. Not quite untrue that Halloween celebrations go over the top at times and fail to be in good taste and sense. Therefore, in some way, it calls forth the need to hold back the reins and keep it within limits. The fun and frenzy is acceptable as long as it stays within sensible bounds and does not cause hurt to anyone or anything. In this regard, it is convenient to note that Halloween is celebrated on October 30 instead of the usual October 31 if the latter falls on a Sunday. This is done to keep off all conflicts arising between the Church services and Halloween observances whatsoever.

I personaly think it’s like the English version of the Chinese Lunar month, xcept that it’s more fun den Freaky…So, ppl, im heading to Mojo tonight…wat ru all waiting for? Put on ur party "claws, paws"….vampire fangs and devil horns and Join me tonight there~
