Measure up

a NEW new resolution surfaces. i'm so going on a balanced and healthy diet. sounds familiar huh. ehem, not so new actually. coz i see that statement i just made every year in my new year resolutions list. the same old resolution. so much of a new year resolution. hehe. but this time, i really mean it. (ye ke?) coz reading this advert leaves my conscious mind in a state of realisation -

Irrespective of your height or build, if your waistline is getting bigger it could mean you are at increased risk of chronic diseases like some cancers, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

For most women, a waistline measurement of over 80cm carries increased risk and over 88cm indicates greatly increased risk.

*gasp* i need to come down from the milky way, off my la la land, and get my feet on the solid ground. if you want to be healthy, then try to be healthy humairah. if you want your waistline to get smaller, then you have to work for it. you dont make a wish upon a shining star and wake up in the morning with a size-2 figure. if you acutely recognise the relationship between chronic diseases and your longevity, you need to get your sleepy-head off your pillow and go hit the gym (ye2 je. gym? hehe. well, not literally). girl you sure have a work to do! and clearly not an easy one.

and oh, dont give me that kurus-tapi-perasan-gemuk look. huhu. small in size doesnt guarantee you're all healthy inside. just like what the advert says, i quote - irrespective of your height or build. people that had lived and are living with me under the same roof know my eating routines, which, are NOT healthy. kak N didnt tag me as 'the fatty one' in facebook for no reason. kan kak N? hehe.

it's gonna be harder in winter. food becomes like oxygen to me. inseparable. (exaggerating ;p). and trust me, i wouldnt feel apprehensive or bother to spare my time on this if my measuring tape showed me what i wanted to see. too bad for me, it didnt. so as much as you hate to hear or see the truth, that's how much you have to deal with it.

i'm actually doing a favor for the australian government, arent i? hehe. so girls, grab a measuring tape and let's start eating healthily ;)

Dilemma

i need to make up my mind real soon. nak g nz ke tak this coming winter. the fare's pretty cheap now. $200++ for a return ticket. gold coast-auckland, if it's still up for grabs. haven't checked again.

that's excluding the fare to wellington, and christchurch maybe, the cost of travelling and surviving there, etc... dilemma dilemma. anisya's still waiting for my answer. hehe. ngah pikir lagi wak, nnt kite komfemkan kat awak asap! ^_^

i love the idea of going on a trip to nz with my babes, meeting up with my nz darls, taking pics, enjoying the breathtaking scenery. the time cant get any better than this! though i'm not sure if i can stand the cold ;p hehe. melbourne's winter is freezing enough for me.

there are a few things i need to weigh first. do your mind, quick humairah!!
