Anyeong Noona

"I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door."

Just now Noona attended a lunch time zumba class and the instructor happened to play Maroon 5's She Will Be Loved for cooling down track. Maroon 5 used to be Noona's most beloved band and she often (shamelessly) sings their songs in KTV with some friends. Nowadays we don't really sing a lot of Maroon 5's songs anymore because we think their old albums are way better than the newer ones. Aigoo, now Noona feels like going to KTV. Time to plan for a session soon. Hahaha.

This bowl of salad/ pasta is actually enough to fill in Noona's stomach without having even started on the main hamburg steak. Everything which comes with the term "free-flow" is basically a blow to all kind of self-control required for a good diet. Hahaha.
After waiting for roughly around 20 minutes or so, our Beef Hamburg set meal has finally arrived. The set meal consists of a bowl of rice, a bowl of miso soup, a shrimp tempura, two pieces of tofu, several sprouts, tartar sauce for the tempura and of course, the beef hamburg. You can choose the sauce for the hamburg. If Noona is not wrong, some of the choices for the sauce are BBQ, yakiniku, etc.

Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei is located at:

Anyeong! Noona has never thought that the day when her boss got laid off really happen during her time of employment. Well it is no surprise nowadays knowing that nowhere is safe if you are working in the year 2017 but to witness this laying off happen to your own boss is no joke. Everybody assume that you are safe if you are pretty high up there and seems to have good connection with everybody. Turns out that's not enough to save your ass. Oh well. Not sure what Noona is going to do next but for now, since the holidays are booked, let's go enjoy life first. 

BREAKFAST (306 KCAL):

1 piece of Chocolate Danish (170 kcal)

0.5 piece of Chikuwa Cheese Bun (136 kcal)

LUNCH (833 KCAL):

1 bowl of Nabeyaki Udon with Shrimp Tempura (542 kcal)

3 pieces of Kani Mentaiko Sushi (147 kcal)

1 cup of Lychee Alishan Tea (144 kcal)

 Noona did not really have the chance to tell her lunch buddy about what's going on in the office. Instead, we talked about common friend who's currently enjoying her life in Sydney. She just showed off about how sweet and lovely her current beau is treating her currently. Instagram is really the app to show that life is all good and rosy. Add the filter effect and you'll see good good life. Not saying that Noona does not have a good life currently since she feels grateful she can still enjoy the yummy pot of nabeyaki udon from Sushi Tei. Yumz.

DINNER (579 KCAL):

1 piece of roasted chicken thigh (289 kcal)

1 meal of pasta marinara (290 kcal)

SNACKS (80 KCAL):

4 pieces of M&S Chocolate Chip Cookies (80 kcal)

Did not really have the chance to snack a lot today because Noona's gotten disturbed by some people who ask technical question at 5+. Oh my gawd, could we please don't be so workaholic? Although 5+ is still considered working hours but Noona is a human being who needs a break. 

EXERCISE (782 KCAL):

1 hour of Les Mills' Body Combat (441 kcal)

11,434 steps of normal-pace walking (341 kcal)

Pissed off by various annoying instances, thankfully there is a Body Combat class where you can punch and kick while burning calories. But new release is coming up soon and heard the movement is so damn complicated. Simple is better, no?

REMAINING: 184 KCAL

Surprised to find out that there is calorie balance left for the day since Noona had a pretty high-calorie lunch and dinner today. LOL.

"I still don't have the reason

And you don't have the time."

Anyeong! Oh my gawd, where did the time fly? May's gonna be over soon and Noona has not finished the task that she's supposed to finish by...uhm, end of June. Oh well, there is time to go and she has decided to think one thing at a time. Kinda pity her unnie but then again the unnie's acting like bitch to here sometimes. Like don't even act like you are going to help if you're not gonna do it at all. But then again, unnie is in-charge of approving Noona's annual leave so let's not get on bad terms with her. Geez. Dunno what is her problem sometimes. 

BREAKFAST (117 kcal):

1 slice of multigrain toast bread with ham and cheese

LUNCH (761 kcal):

3 pieces of Din Tai Fung's xiao long bao (183 kcal)

1 bowl of Din Tai Fung's zha jiang mian (482 kcal)

1 cup of Koi's green tea macchiato (96 kcal)

Bitching session at Din Tai Fung in Chinatown is kinda risky because Chinatown is frequented often by people from both Noona's office and bitching buddy's office. After checking our surrounding, we have deemed to place to be safe from unwanted spies and intels and we can bitch all day (ok, at least 1 hour+) about those nuisances at work. Noona does not think she can last without releasing all those raging feeling that she had endured at work. By the way, do you know that girl friend make the best bitching buddy (but pick the right one, of course)?

"Time seems to say forget the world and its weight."

Thanks God there is weekend. Otherwise, Noona really does not know how to take a breather from all the dramas and tiring work she has been enduring throughout the week. Sometimes a chillax session with friend is all you need to unwind for a while especially when the venue for the session is cozy and perfect for lazing (and chatting).

If you are looking for such place in Dhoby Ghaut area, you may want to consider coming to Curious Palette at Prinsep Street.

Anyeong! The challenge to update this project has become more and more apparent especially when you are busy shielding yourself from a lot of attacks at work. People are not helping in times of needs, really. If there is someone who's helping you in time of needs with no return expected, cherish them at all costs. They are rarity in the end times. Really. 

BREAKFAST:

One blueberry cream roll (186 kcal)

One piece of super nuts bar (51 kcal)

 Proofer's blueberry cream roll is a dope and it's so worth the price tag SGD 1.80 because it's big. The only cons that Noona can think of is that bigger size means bigger calorie. Oh well. 

LUNCH:

Niku yasai teishoku from Yayoiken (538 kcal)

Iced mocha from Jewel Coffee (150 kcal)

Goal 1,200 kcal - Food 1,781 kcal + Exercise 767 kcal = Remaining 186 kcal

Not much calorie left but since today has been pretty cruel on Noona, she decided to let it go. LOL. 

"I could've been a princess, you'd be a king"

Once upon a time, there was a Queen, a Princess and a Prince living in their wonderful castle served by many maids. Fast forward to the modern days, the Queen, the Princess and the Prince somehow have no escape from the brutality of high living cost and now they have to work in an office. However, despite the change in season, they still demand certain service from someone who they think are not worthy i.e. Noona. Once their meets are not met, they have succumbed to their irrational behaviour and end up exploding to bits and pieces much to Noona's amusement. Too bad the last part has not happened yet. Instead, the Prince gave rude attitude and keep making up excuses when his work does not meet standard, the Princess simply refuses to do what she's supposed to do since Noona can't help but doing the task since Princess kept someone as hostage, and the Queen file a complaint to...wait-a-minute, what's higher than Queen and female? Queen Mother? Fairy Godmother? Oh well, let's just say the Queen file a complaint to the higher-up and act like she's a victim or something. Epic. You guys deserve an Oscar. Really.

With this kind of drama, Noona needs a nice and cozy place to spend time hanging out with her BFF while venting about this drama. And there's one nice cafe at Kovan which seems to be the perfect venue for this occasion.

Anyeong! Hope everyone has an amazing day. It has been a series of up and down here at MyFitnessPal journey. Noona has never thought her daily calorie intake looks like a yo-yo. Hahaha. Needless to say, her weight at the end of day 7 of using MyFitnessPal has not moved to the desirable direction. Thankfully, the weight scale does not move to the undesirable direction either. Phew. 

 BREAKFAST:

Egg cheese toast (200 kcal)

LUNCH:

Pad ee sew with grilled chicken (690 kcal)

Yakut grapefruit green tea from Woobee (257 kcal)

 Noona's friend who is currently working at Harbourfront agreed to meet at Chinatown Point for lunch and she wanted to try Kincow. Noona was initially not really interested in Kincow because it seems that the restaurant only sells brisket beef noodle soup and Noona is not really a fan of brisket. Turns out Kincow has other things such as dry noodle/ kway teow.
