Look at my food! #2

It's been stressful lately. Like, hella stressful.
But anyways, here's some food.

We didn't go grocery shopping last week because everyone was busy + dad was having his chemo,
So yeeeee, with limited resources, you can't duck and dive. Gotta improvise with what you've got, no cutting corners or cheating.
Just because you don't have it, doesn't mean you can't do it.

What am I talking about? I have no idea. I just watched Jamie Oliver's TED speech  and it was awesome. I love the man.

This was a post-workout meal I think (can't remember exactly) 

There is 100% no oil in this :D

Seared salmon with caramelised apples! My favourite thing to make ever.

I'm so asian

This was completely vegetarian, which is soo not me. 

Alas, I am only but human :)

Pam

Today after my run, I layed down on the tiles on the floor outside my house.
I didn't care that my hair was getting leaves in it, I just wanted to take a minute and appreciate the blue sky.
Yeah, when was the last time you did that?
I'm one of those lucky people that was chosen to appreciate the moment.

Anyway, have you seen Pam Anderson's legs? They're frickin gorgeous!

Look at my food!

I've lost like 20kg in the past year and the catalyst to my success was changing the way I ate.
I guess i'm absolutely proud of myself because no matter how much I've wanted to starve myself to lose weight, I never did.

Oooh damn Qistina will be so mad at me.
"kau cuba starve diri kau?!"
Yeah, honestly I have. Not proud, but not afraid of admitting it either.
In the end I always think:
Muscle wasting is NOT my goal. I'm tryna build guns, man.
Anyway, I prepare 99% of my meals (cause really there's no one else to do it for me #sadlyfe)

The changes I've made to what I consume are drastic.
Some of which are:
I used to eat rice atleast 2 times a day totalling up to 14 times a week. (normal for an average malaysian/asian)
Now I only eat brown rice (the size of those small colourful IKEA cups), 2 times a week.
I don't eat no white flour no more (unless Sarah offers me some of her chocolate cream filled bread)
I haven't touched a fizzy drink in 4 months 13 days.
I also have to make my own lunches everyday for school.
Its either I make my own food, or I don't eat and starve till the bell rings.

I mean, canteen food is great, but let's be honest here guys, its crap. Not literally, but really.
Suree, if you have the metabolism of a football player, then keropok lekor everyday isn't that bad I guess.

But if you have a metabolism of a fat teenage girl (such as myself) its not really an option.
(oh by the way, to my lovely friends who like to eat my lunch. Please dont eat too much of it. I LOVE YOU GUYS. But i'm starving.)

These meals I singlehandedly cooked myself.
Time consuming, sure especially for a 17 year old who's got tons of parties to attend to.
But you can't neglect health just cause you're busy.
Come on. if I can, You most definitely can!

A typical school lunch. this was instagramed btw

I get out of bed for the sake of breakfast

Baked chicken in Jamie Oliver's packaged seasoning with some smoked bell peppers and vegetables. 30 minutes to make tops!

weirdly enough, this would be my dinner. I would be scavenging the fridge for something high protein and end up with yogurt and fruits.  look at dem fine mangoes.

I accidentally scrambled my omelette :(  eaten with soy sauce and brown rice like a true asian should

BEANS! Lima beans to be exact with some turkey slices and avocado at the back.

HOLY BEANS!

MOTHER OF BEANS! does anyone remember that Beans kid from Even Stevens?
btw, the shredded chicken my maid originally made for the cats but I stole...classy.

Salmon with caramelised apples in fresh orange juice. oh yeah...and beans

PPS Dinner night!

We had our PPS Dinner tonight.
It was really amazing!
Wasn't really expecting much but the atmosphere, (the venue was absolutely gorgeous much to my surprise) the food and being surrounded by the friends you love just sums up to make a great night even more perfect.

Oh, and they gave us mugs!
How did they know I love mugs??

Graduation!

We're officially graduated from high school.
But not exactly.
Its quite funny actually. Well not "hilarious" but kinda confusing funny,
That even though we're graduated, we still have to go to school this thursday :/
AND we still have to wear our uniforms, school shoes, and school badge until early december.
Hooray for graduation :-)

But anyhoos, the President of the University where we had our ceremony gave a 20 minute long speech about the future, having the skills to succeed and having passion in doing the thing you love. do what you want to do, no one's stopping you.
Question is, WHAT DO I WANT TO DO?

I struggled my ass off to stay awake during his speech.
I only slept for 4 hours the previous night, woke up at 5am. Plus, his voice was so...what's the word?

Monotonous!

Although so, his words were great and meaningful.
Kinda gives you that extra push down the cliff. ( lol wut)
He's a professor, a Dato' a "wira" (whatever that is) and a Dr.
Pretty impressive.
