get my weight down to 48kg
49kg, close enough 11 months ago

And I did it without even trying or even realizing.

It’s simple really, just move to a new country, where you don’t speak the language, hook up with someone from a different culture, and let the stress of moving, studies, coping with a new relationship, living on a budget, cooking and cleaning for two and etc. take its toll on your body.

Hmm…I still can’t decide if it was all worth it.



date someone hot
not so much date, as had a fling 18 months ago

well…there’s a reason why bali’s still my best holiday to date…haha.

but to be honest, the turmoil i went through after that…might not be all that worth it. i’m still 50-50 on whether it’s worth it or not…but a part of me would still like to do it again… >:)
