Valen’s Vanity Square

Most of my male high school mates I met last month during a friend’s wedding are crazy about golfing. Well, golf is indeed a popular ’socializing activity’ for men in their 30’s. Strangely (and luckily), my hubby is not a golf guy.

Even more strange, one of hubby’s guy friend actually has a very ‘niche’ hobby. He invited us to join him out this weekend to play … remote control helicopters!

Hmmm, is that cool, or is it just a big boy playing with his toys?

Anyway, hubby declined his invitation as this weekend we have to be at our new house to see the last bit of work get done in the kitchen. But even he wanted to go, I would rather stay back because I don’t want to be out under the hot sun looking at some remote control helicopters buzzing in the air! I really don’t see the fun of this kind of ‘elite’ activity.

And I don’t want to get myself tanned just because of that. Although I do have two bottles of Nivea whitening body lotion stand by for me all the time, this is not how I want to tan myself. The only place and time to get tanned is - next February in Langkawi Island!!

Yes, I’m only willing to sacrifice my skin fairness for an island vacation, haha!

If one can get a custom tailored health insurance plan in 3 easy steps at North Carolina health insurance website, is it possible for me to get rid of the fat around my waist or clear the zits on my face in 3 easy steps???

Actually there are, but I’m not doing it.

For healthy and beautiful skin:
1. Sleep early and sleep for 8 hours – I’m typing this at 1 am…
2. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables – ummm…
3. Apply Cellnique Pro Sebum Gel – can’t because has just finished up the last drop in the bottle last month!

To lose fat and shape up:
1. Jog or walk 3 times a week – errrr, no time?
2. Do sit ups and stretching exercise before going to bed – too sleepy by the time I switch off my laptop.
3. Sit fewer hours working on the computer – not what I’m likely to do these days.

So, that explains why I’m suffering…

Just 2 weeks ago I thought my skin had improved a lot with the pores became finer and fine line reduced, and that now I just needed to work on getting rid of the fat and shape up a bit. But over the past week, zits started to pop out here and there on my face!

First I had one on the left side of my nose. Some appearred on my forehead, and some on my chin. Today I have one red bump on the right side of my nose.

What happened? My hormones went hay-wired or what? Is it a pre-menstruation thing? But I didn’t have this problem previously.

Or is it because I have been house-hopping? You know, sleeping on a bed that is not mine, using pillows and blankets that are not mine. When you are not using your own things, you can’t be sure they are as clean as they should be.

Jeez, I don’t want to have two problems to deal with - fat and acne!

I have a terrible vision: A growing body + a face full of zits = “Are you pregnant?” !!! Please, not that question again!!!!

My sister’s wedding was certainly a happy occasion. One sad thing though - there were some hush-hush going on behind my back.

The topic was – AM I PREGNANT?

Well, my mom helped me to answer the queries of my aunts this way, “Nope, she’s not pregnant. She is just growing fat because her butt sticks to the chair every hour, everyday.”

*Cry*

Okay, I can blame no one else but myself for this. I had been so obsessed with taking care of my face in the past 2 years and sort of neglected my body. But don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I have gained 5 or 10 kgs! It’s just some extra 1-2 kg of fat around my waist, okay??

*Sigh* Perhaps it’s time for me to join the I-want-to-lose-weight troop? Or start taking some high-performance fat burner formula such as Fenphedra??

Nah, don’t think I need that. I AM NOT FAT. I’m just getting a bit ‘meatier’ than I was 2 years ago. All I need is to trim off some fat around my belly and thighs, then shape up my waist by reducing 1 inch (that’s pretty enough for me). I will look very good after that.

So, my plan – go back to my weekly exercise schedule (have not been doing any form of exercise since I came back to KL!), and watch what I eat (it’s difficult to be selective when you’re staying with others, you need to be part of them and join their diet).

I will also be following one of the best fat loss products (those listed at the side bar) in my attempt to shape up. Hey, I want to get ready for next year’s island vacation, you know, being able to show off my nice figure in a nice swim suit, haha!

We’re really frustrated with our cabinet contractor!

First, we should have had our bedroom wardrobe installed 2 weeks ago, but it didn’t take place due to their internal coordination problem. Then they promised to have everything done for us today and tomorrow, including the kitchen cabinets. However, when we called them up just now, they said they could only start work tomorrow and Sunday! What a bummer!

I was so excited, thinking that I could show a photo of my NEW and NICE kitchen today.

Well, the kitchen is definitely new. To me, it will be nice, since it is my first kitchen with a built-in oven! There will also be a double-sink, but with just an, hmm, ordinary faucet. We saw some kitchen faucets with really cool designs when we visited the contractor’s show unit, but hey, kitchen faucets are not cheap stuffs! The one that we ordered, though simple, already costs 100 bucks!

So you can imagine that, up till this stage, our kitchen is the most expensive part of our house.

Anyway, when the wardrobe and cabinets are in, I will post some photos of my new house here, hehe…

Tonight will be my youngest sister’s first wedding dinner. I said ‘first’ because there will be another dinner tomorrow, held in Seremban. Not to mention that there is actually a third one in Penang.

The other wanted-to-lose-weight sister can’t wait to wear her cleavage-revealing purple dress tonight, haha! She is even hiring a friend, who is a professional make-up artist, to come and do her make-up and hair for her. Good for her, at least she is happy with what she has now, and no longer contemplating whether to buy Phentermine or not.

As for me, I will handle my own make-up, and won’t be revealing so much of cleavage tonight! Haha! Everything will be simple, from my hair, to my face, dress and shoes. I’m just playing a supportive role tonight, so I’d better stay off the spot light!

Gotta get ready for tonight’s event now! But first, help my mom to wash the front yard.
