Deep thoughts...

Hello everyone!!

How you guys doing? Just a quick updates today with my thoughts after watching a Korean Transformation Variety show.

"Let Me In" is actually a very popular Korean variety whereby they will sponsor the applicants to go under the knife for a transformation. There are different theme or maybe I would say different problem factor in each episode. So there was this one fine day, I was watching it not too long ago.

"LET ME IN" Season 4 episode 9:

WATCH THE EPISODE HERE!!!

Sorry, its not subbed. if you have channel M, there will be Eng sub in there.

It was an episode of lady hiding her real identity behind her superb Photoshop skills. While watching the episode, I started to reflect on myself and realized how am I living my life before my huge weight loss makeover.

I myself used to be living virtually too, the only difference is, I still have friends and family around me to support me. BUT... honestly, it's the confidence level I'm referring to. All my pictures over my insta, FB or even my blog..  yea..  this blog were heavily Photoshop-ed THEN!! And through the show, I understood that there were things I've over done it.

Her story totally resemble my life before my weight loss and of course, I shed my tears while watching it. TT__TT 

So here is a summary:

These were all her "AFTER" pictures where she has been living virtually... And she had more than 5k friends online!! *I don't even have that much friends online even if I Photoshop-ed TT___TT

BUT.... in real life, she is actually always alone and do not have much friends in school because...

This is how she looked like in reality... Very low in confidence because of her look and size. Honestly speaking, she doesn't look that bad. Probably just her size where most people or I would say guys will judge?

Her "BEFORE" and "AFTER" pictures that made her to have 2 identities, OFFLINE and ONLINE. A total change of person.

Frankly, I was like her too....

I finally realized and happy I've decided to make a change to myself about a year ago. I'm also glad my angels helped and motivated me a lot during this period to bring my weight and fats down till who I am now. P.S: I'm still losing my weight, just in case you are wondering....

I SWEAR THIS PICTURE IS ONLY FILTERED!!! 

Totally changed and of course more confident to be in front of everyone real life or virtually. I will be sharing my entire weight loss journey in this blog... SO STAY TUNED!! Meanwhile, here's a recapped on the day I've started this weight lost journey FOR REAL here:

Well, if you followed me, I've gotten through #CNOS3 and only titled best script for the first challenge with my other budget bunnies, Regine and Cherylene. And I'm back again this year!!! #reallylastchance

Obviously I'm not satisfied.  I want to challenge myself again this time round after my "major" makeover as well as my "come back" challenge for myself after my makeover. Confusing?? LOL.

Simply said, its a come back for me after my makeover and I want to reach out to more people!! =X

Furthermore, the experience gain from last year was too OVERWHELMING and I've learnt lots of things from the mentors as well as fellow contestants. I WANT MORE!!!

So here is my entry blog post and my entry video below:

OMG!!! Still as xiao ding dong as ever o(╯□╰)o

MY RECOMMENDED FOOD OPTION!! 

Cineleisure is a one stop place for everything!  Lots of food or snacks options...  fashionable retail shops... cinema and even an entertainment center!

For me, I'm always be there for food and also movies! And this time round, after my major makeover, I'm able to shop there too!! Its cra..cra.. crazy!! Every Thursday where I needed a place for late dinner after our dance class, weekend movie dates and crazy retail therapy all happening in a mall!! ♡♡

But now, I just want to amphasize just on my food recommendation that help me for my late night cravings!! And all thanks to......

OLD TOWN WHITE COFFEE CAFE!!!!

It's my regular hang out place with my dance pals and most importantly they provide a wide selection of food! Even though I will always order the same food again and again:

But you can try their western food too!!!

or this:

They also have toasts if you want something light! Food settled with a nice catch up with my friends. Even at times when I misses the class, we will still end our day there. :D
