You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Focusing on the positives this Eid / Tuesday, September 22, 2009 @ 11:41 PM
Hola!
I have so much to blog about but alas no time, so I shall blog part 1 of Eid celebrations here first. I will be extremely busy in the next few days but hopefully I can log in here on Thursday and write more.
Eid was awesome, almost everyone was asking me the same question:
"How did you lose so much weight?"
And they were all waiting for me to enlighten them with some secret.
Fat hope!!
Its all exercise and good eating plan. Nothing magical. BUT, the change IS magical. I was so ecstatic to fit into a kebaya and I was really really so proud of myself. All the days that I was feeling tired, I still went on to do workout. It was all worth it. That is what separates me from the old me. Its all about persistency. When you are down and tired, get up and move on. No point sitting down and whining.
Now its time for me to conquer the next 10 kg, bringing me a step closer to my goal weight. Is it going to be easy? No. But I am thankful I found and exercise regime that I like and suit me. But no worries, give me another 4 to 5 months and I will be there.
At this year's Eid celebrations, I hear comments such as (presenting you...tadaaaaaa!)
- Wah now so pretty already! (You mean I was ugly previously?!)
- You look so much better now!
- Finally!
- Now become so thin and pretty can go get married!
I completely disagree with the last comment because:
1. I am not thin, I am still more than 10 kg overweight.
2. Getting married because I am thin is not logical to me.
While its wonderful to hear these, there are of course the 'free radicals' that will somehow find something negative to say.
On the first day of Eid itself, one auntie suddenly grab my tummy and said:
"Still got tummy, must work harder."
Helloooooooooooooo????????????????????????
I think if I were to go any faster than this, its probably not very healthy. Of course I have tummy lah, I never ever claimed that I have a flat stomach. Its amazing that in a sea of positivity, there will always be a tinge of negativity.
What baffles me is that these same aunties (yes there are more than 1!!) will talk to me about how to lose more weight than now, while they themselves are still very much overweight and unhealthy. I find it difficult to listen to someone who only say things but never do what they preach.
Sorry, thats just how I feel. I will listen to you, only if you walk the talk. I do not listen to opinions, only facts. And trust me when I say that I have been given the wisdom to know the difference between these two.
Anyway, I was so excited to have my dance mates over on the second day. These are the same crazy girls that made a lot of noise during M's classes. I used to think that they were all M's fans but now that I know them on a more personal basis, my impression of them has totally changed. They are actually very successful in their career and family life and what I see in the studio is not their usual self.
Because in the studio, they go crazy when they dance!!
We wanted to do a sexy pose that we always do during Hip Hop classes but I think it did not turn out that right! Haha! Its really too bad that I have only 1 shimmy if not we would have posed a belly dance pose!
Sometimes I really think we act as if we own the place. But who cares, go wild!
I shall update here soon on Eid celebrations with family and of course lots of photos!
