Dummies' guide to CNY snacking
According to NHB,
Kuih bangkit is the skinniest CNY snack, with only 75calories for every 5pieces.
Kueh lapis on the other hand, is a silent killer with 240kcal per slice.
& who needs bakkwa or shaorou when there's pencai and yusheng? (Many more reasons to go vegetarian, or pescetarian at least?)

week 2
1. school has officially begun and I'm starting to really feel like a loser Asian, talk to me and I'll tell you why (that's if you even care)
2. I also need to start preparing for my 3pm interview on Wednesday, "why do you want to go to California?" The sun, the froyo, whole foods, beaches?
3. There's a new boy across the hallway who sings all.the.time.
4. tonight I unfollowed shape magazine on twitter because they apparently only retweet people who tell the twittersphere how much weight they've lost in the past year and its depressing because I've just gotten so fat the past year #fml
5. I should get started on my Barbaric readings
6. Does anyone have a calculator? I need to do my UBS numeracy test -shudders in fear-

why poor people are fat
After being in school for about 3months, the freshman 15 (or whatever the English equivalent is) is starting to really make sense to me. Why? Because its simply too expensive and too uncool to be healthy.
1. Good, organic fresh berries cost a bomb. They're my little indulgences but my flatmates always stare at me strangely when I whip them out because, blueberries are so not for a student budget
2. The cheapest foods in a supermarket are either, processed junk, ice cream or rotting vegetables
3. Gym membership at York is crazy. I will not spend 200pounds for a 9month membership when my friends elsewhere have it for free
4. Drinking is the mother of ALL problems. Its so calorie laden and don't tell yourself you'll dance it off on the dancefloor, because the post-clubbing kebab is an even greater sin.
5. Living and cooking for one isn't easy, and often, I end up eating more than what I would normally, zzz.
6. End of rant, start of detox.
