Hello-W!

That’s a halloween play on word fail.

So! For a split second I thought I was in love last night:

…with none other than the one and only Kahlil Fong. Just for a split second. No, the music was awesome - best live show I’ve been to in a while - he’s just not my kind of man. 

Dang that guy is talented though. One of the very few multi-tasking men I’ve seen in real life. He was playing the harmonica and guitar at the same time! I usually find it quite annoying when people take photos/videos during gigs but I had to take a video anyway. It. Was. Crazy.

Backtracking a little, I actually had no idea why I was there. All I knew was that there’s an exclusive acoustic performance by Kahlil Fong at The W, so I went. I only found out after I got there that it was one of SPG (Starwood Preferred Guest) Moment’s “On Tour” shows! :p I even signed myself up! (Was extremely clueless but the ladies at the reception were really nice so I went along with it. Hahahaa)

Kahlil Fong Tonight

I don’t really know what’s going on.. but I’m excited!!! :D 

This just blew my socks off.  (Taken with instagram)

What matters.

On the streets I’m an ordinary girl
At the gym I’m an athletic one
In my trainer’s eyes I’m doing well
To my family I’m alright
In my friends’ eyes I’m skinny
On TV I’m real chubby
To some guys I’m attractive
- to some, I’m just average

In God’s eyes I’m beautiful.

I appreciate you(s).

My friends (and family) have been really great. They’ve done and said things that have really kept me going, probably without realizing how much it means to me:

  • The number one winner: How they get worried instead of seeing it as a good thing when they realize I’ve lost weight.
  • The tough love: Telling me NO to my face when I want to give up - because they know I can do it.
  • Helping me get things done: No, not doing it for me - but knowing that I’m struggling to get things done (i.e. editing. garrrgh.) they help me through it by simply telling me what to do when I tell them I don’t know. 
  • Putting it in action: My amazing PLUS is, I think, super considerate in choosing what they eat around me, encouraging me by really showing me that we’re in this together. Letting me pick what we eat, helping me out with diet/training advice, and of course, one of my best friends training me is a pure blessing from God. 

You guys know who you are, and I love you all because you’re more concerned about my health and stress rather than how I look. I really do appreciate you guys for all the encouragement, running along right next to me cheering for me. 

Local gym classics.

Men wear jeans and weird shoes to the gym. Seriously, why would you do that?!

There’s also a lot of weird stuff going on in the ladies’ sauna. C-lai’s literally just join the gym for this. They fall asleep in there… Stretch… (what happened to working out and just chilling in the sauna?) and by stretching I mean it looks like they’re warming up for yoga. I also saw a girl fully dressed in basketball gear walk into the sauna… Socks on and stuff.

What strange things have you seen in a local gym?

Too tired?

Had a dream where I kept trying to wake up but couldn’t.

I tried to get up several times an realized I was only doing that in my dreams. Repeat.

It’s funny, I took this song off my playlist not because I don’t like it, but because I must have listened to it about 500 times (literally) making this music video. 

Well, I thought I did anyway. 

This song came up on shuffle yesterday and it was exactly what I needed - to know that if I ran away, He would come for me; and if I did the things that broke His heart, He can mend our love.
