I have a headache. I think it's from eating too much. Been eating too much for the past 3 days. I was so hungry when I got home that I ended up stuffing myself so badly that now I have a headache. I had 2 bowls of porridge, some prawn crackers and 4 shortbread cookies, all of that just for dinner, Ugh. Now I have a major headache and a stomachache too. There was that buffet on Sunday (somehow, I am the rubbish bin of the family), and yesterday, dinner with my grandma..and you know how grandmas are...except mine is even more pushy when it come to food. My mum thinks my grandma's ways are one of the reasons for my eating disorders. It could be true. But of course, it's not the sole reason, if not, my sisters would've had eating disorders too. Anyway, all this eating has led me to gain 1.5kg all in the space of 3 days or less. It's not gonna be easy to lose it again, considering the extremely sedentary lifestyle I'm leading now. And winter is coming...oh oh...haha...ok, today I'll let myself be typically female...but honestly, I do not want to become extremely skinny. It's not a very pretty sight. I am fine with myself...I just don't like being too pig-like. Indulging occasionally is perfectly fine...but eating junk that doesn't even really appeal to you is just stupid. Well, I say this now, but by tomorrow, it'll all be forgotten. Haha.

My time management at work has been pretty ok so far. I managed to finish some tasks ahead of schedule even. But I suppose if work suddenly starts pouring in, well, then my plan will just have to be flushed down the loo. Anyway, I managed time well enough such that I could leave the office promptly at 6pm. I'm only particular about the time when I am going home straight after work. If I am meeting friends, then staying late in the office is fine with me. I just hate squeezing on the MRT with the 6.30-8pm crowd. Went for lunch with my colleague today. We chanced upon this place on Seah Street that really ain't bad. I had curry and she had horfun. It was yummy! I was only sorry that there hadn't been more bread to soak up the remaining gravy. The prices were totally reasonable as well. It was good! There are two other places I am impressed with in that area. They are both on Purvis Street. I like this place that serves chicken rice and other kinds of Hainanese food. The rice is nice...and the Hainanese Pork Chop...and "eggplant with minced meat"...they are all nice. My aunt wants to eat the chicken rice balls. It's called Hainan Er Jie dunno what lah...but it's nice!! Went with another intern's colleagues on Friday. Another place is "First Thai", also on Purvis Street. I love the fried Tang Hoon. Anyway, on the way back, we went to Bras Basah Complex so my colleague could collect her phone books. Then we popped by this shop that sold used books at only $1!!! I bought "Moll Flanders" and some German book...it's historical fiction. Arrgh. Now I have so many books to read. I'm quite sure I could find more, but I didn't really bother to dig around. It depends on your luck or your patience, really. This morning, I read in the Straits Times about this guy who wrote "Bangkok Tattoo" and people think it's outrageous, cos he writes about prostitution. He said something about how it's not a topic that's covered much in novels...with the exception of Moll Flanders, by Daniel Defoe. And surprise surprise, I find this book right on top of a pile in the second hand bookshop! I couldn't wait to start reading! The language is a bit of a bother though..I had to read and re-read to make sense of certain parts. But hey, I am an English student after all...I should accept it as a challenge to read archaic language. Erm, but to be honest, I have to read this other thick novel for German lit class...I'm more inclined to finish reading Moll Flanders first though..heh.

Audrey's leaving for the States tomorrow...so sad :( One less friend around. Am beginning to feel very lonely. Ruth is leaving on Monday...sob.
