today i tried the New Body fitness workout at amore, and i nearly died. it was like one hour of continuous squats, lunges and pushups! plus we did them all with hand weights. it is like the most painful thing i've ever gone through in my life. my muffin-top has about 12 hours to make itself scarce, or i am seriously going to be pissed with someone.

after a few days (okay, just one) of frantically compiling tentative programmes and event budgets, we finally met the sponsorship rep from NHG today. the whole thing lasted for a grand total of 10 minutes, so it was a bit of an anticlimax. but i think they are going to give us half of what we asked for, which is close to 10k! of course this is pittance compared to their annual revenue of 1 billion, but it is a good start nonetheless.

the meeting left me totally hypoglycemic, so we decided to have lunch at the coffee grounds cafe where we were anyway. it was mushroom pasta and oreo cheesecake! and the oreo cheesecake was like the yummiest thing ever, and even mark agrees with me. i have finally got him to understand why people can bounce about for hours after a slice of good cheesecake. yet another satisfied addict! ;)

on sunday me and my sis did a spot of shopping at vivo. mostly we wanted to go there for the huge forever 21, but as usual we were let down. the prices are like almost 250% what they are in USD! from now on i'm only ever going to buy f21 stuff from online sprees. i have been suckered enough by exorbitant prices, and i will stand for it no more!

oh and incidentally, almost immediately upon stepping into vivo, i managed to walk right in front of this big entourage of asian popstars. maybe they were from some Kdrama or something, but i have no idea because i don't watch Kdramas. they are stupid! and i don't listen to mandopop or j-pop or k-pop or whatever because i don't understand what they are singing. there is no joy in bopping along to a song whose lyrics you do not comprehend. anyway, i was so shocked by the commotion and seeing dozens of teenyboppers screaming and waving their digital cameras in the air, that i just stood there for a few seconds and blocked the way. i must be like the most unfortunate star spotter ever. when unidentified ugly asian stars come to singapore, i get shoved right into their faces. when beckham comes, i wait for 3 hours only to miss his entrance because i have to run to the toilet to relieve a poor bladder.

life is unfair, it really is!
