This is going to much less morbid and depressing post. I was reading through my previous entries and I SOUNDED SO WHINY!! Urgh...Utterly unlike me! So this is going to be a much happier post, even though I am still rather overwhelmed at work but I am smarter this time. I refuse to let the mountain-load of work control me and rather, make sure I am controlling the damn work. So for the past 2 weeks, rather than burying myself with work, I asked myself: What makes me happy and not stress me too much?

The answer:
1. Dessert
2. Exercising
3. Spending time with my family (Like the whole she-bang, niece and nephew and brrother in law and my elder sis)

So I have been eating lots of dessert. Let's see...It started from 2 Saturdays ago where I went to Laurent Chocolate Bar and had the gorgeous chocolate souffle. And then the following Sat, I went back to the same bar cos it was so damn good and had the chocolate tart. Orgasmic. And then I read the papers and found out Brunettis has opened here! Brunettis is this very very popular cafe in Melbourne, with some of the best desserts and coffee in the country. And IT WAS OPEN HERE! So I made a trip down to Tanglin Mall where Brunettis was located and had not one but 2 desserts! The chocolate eclair and the chocolate canoli and latte. Which reminded me so much of Melbourne. And reminded me how much I miss it there and haven't been back for the longest time!

My desserts...There was so much to choose from!!

And cos I did so much eating, I made up for it by exercising more. Im much better now since my ulcers-in-the-throat fiasco. So I have reverted back to my weekly 5km runs, and my twice a week hot yoga sessions. I have been doing hot vinyasa now, rather than the normal hot hatha and it is so much faster, and more strenuous and more demanding but I love it. Everytime I step into the class and am halfway through the session, I would be kicking myself mentally for putting myself through this. But once we reach the end where we meditate, I always love the feeling and can't wait to start again. And that is theraphy for me. I try to run out of school early at least once a week to hit the yoga studio and one weekend. 

And this weekend, I spent it with family. It was my neice's birthday 2 weeks ago, and we decided to celebrate it at the airport. My mom has fallen in love with the airport for some bizarre reason, and she insisted on going to one of the restaurants at T3 for our family get together. So the airport T3 it was. Really fun. Been a while since the family came together, the last being fasting month, which was 2 mths ago.

Monkey girl. Guess what she wanted for her birthday? Not new toys, not a doll house, not new shoes, not new dresses, but.....AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH. Don't ask. And yes, I bought her an electric toothbrush. Bizarre.

It has been a manageable 2 weeks, but I can't wait for the break to come!!!!!!!
