M.I.A

I have to admit, I have been lazy to blog these few weeks and before you know it September has arrived!

If you have been following my older posts, there's always something that I constantly find
myself saying : time flies.


And that is for sure. Over a month ago, US seems to be something so far away. Today, I'm counting the days left in Kuching. Just yesterday, it was a week to go. Today, 6 days to go. The crying/watery eyes season has definitely started. 

I'm so excited to be heading to Seattle yet I'm so nervous! Will the people there be friendly? Will I be able to cope with the American style of teaching? How's my new roommate gonna be like? Will I find myself trapped in the category of the 'Freshman fifteen' [ vain thought; anyways ]? 

Just for your info if you have never heard of that term before: 

'The Freshman fifteen refers to an amount (somewhat arbitrarily set at fifteen pounds) of weight often gained during a student's first year at a college or university.

The expression is commonly used in the United States and Canada. In Australia and New Zealand it is sometimes referred to as First Year Fatties, Fresher spread, or Fresher Five, the latter referring to a five kilogram gain.'

Then again, the man up there has plans for you and i :)

I've packed one luggage, on more to go. spending time to choose what and what not to bring. so stressful really! choosing which skirt, which blouse, which dress, which pair of sunnies. haha jokes. I come to believe that I've become less worried about how I dress and how I look as much as before. maybe it's the age - hitting the big TWO [not yet]! the level of vanity has depreciated. hence chopping off about 10inches of hair due to the extremely humid weather here. BUT of course, every girl loves to dress up and look pretty once in awhile :)

Sometimes, a little extra effort in dressing up could boost a whole lot of confidence in one self especially when strutting down Orchard road. I specifically mentioned Orchard road because, my cousin and I realised that people there really do dress up even if they dont, the girls there are all so slim and long legged! I honestly do envy them a little bit  . If ever, till pigs fly, that I decided to really really go on a fitness regime, I want to target a healthy slim look. Not the model skinny type but more of the athlete type with lean muscles and assets :)  i'm just saying. no harm in dreaming big eh? ;)
