Cut by Wolfgang Puck

When you ask "where is the best steak in Singapore?", most people will probably mention "Cut" by Wolfgang Puck at the Marina Bay Sands Mall. So that's where we went last July :-).

Bedrock Bar and Grill

This happened around June of this year when I got news about getting my new job. Luckily, we had just purchased The Entertainer app and boy this app has really saved us loads of money in eating out. We were glad Bedrock was part of the list as it was rated as one of the best steaks in Singapore. Perfect way to celebrate a new blessing!

Holiday Inn Express Clarke Quay Singapore

Alfian and I would periodically do staycations here in Singapore if we aren't able to do a quick trip over the weekend. Holiday Inn Express recently opened so we decided to try it out. This was earlier this year. I didn't expect to love this hotel as much as I did as "express" usually means budget or a very basic hotel.

Baking Etcetera

Earlier this year, I was on a baking frenzy. I just woke up one day and said I would like to make beautiful cupcakes haha. This was before the Cohen phase.

I was so happy with this Blueberry and Raspberry Cheesecake. I got the recipe from BBC Good Food, click here. I prefer using fresh than canned fruits as they look more colorful and vibrant. Plus, fresh fruits are healthier (to balance off the sinful cheesecake haha).

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Well hello my dear 7 readers! hehe. I couldn't think of any other title about my absence in the blogging world haha. Anyway, here I am still trying.

First of all, to get this out of the way, I'm not on the Cohen diet anymore - which is why you haven't seen any update about my diet and my weight on the ticker in this blog (I'll just keep the ticker there for remembrance haha). Boo to me. I will probably most likely be fat obese my whole life but as long as I'm happy I think that's what matters. I'm sure a lot of people out there are judging me saying I'm a lazy bum and a quitter for broadcasting about my diets but continuously failing. Well, it is what it is. I will just continue to try and eat healthier (most of the time) and just be happy.

Updates, updates, updates...

I found a new job! Which is why I've been absent from blogging for some time now. I had to go through 5 interviews in the past few months so it was really a tough process. I'm very ecstatic about this new job! I feel really blessed. Praise God! I've been with my company now for 4 years and although I do have my complaints here, this job gave me really good work experience and this company is one of the best I have worked for.

PS Cafe, Ann Siang Hill

We don't really eat out at fancy cafes or restaurants very frequently as you know Singapore is now the most expensive city in the world (ugh). However, last Saturday, we decided to go to PS Cafe in Ann Siang Hill since we haven't really "gone out" in a while. Our weekends are mostly just window shopping or movies so why not splurge a bit haha.

Fitness Blog #22 - Cohen Diet: Day 53

Wow, I can't believe it's almost 2 months since I started Cohen. Sorry I didn't update for the past few weeks regarding my progress as I was in Dubai from 12th to 20th April.  

Confession: I let go in Dubai. The food was too good and I was in a festive mood so I just put Cohen on hold. In fact I was so sure I gained a lot of weight during that period so I was surprised to know I only gained 0.8kg when I got back haha. Probably because I still had some restrain in Dubai. I mostly shared meals with Alf. Good thing is I managed to lose the weight I gained  as soon as I got back and even more on the succeeding weigh in.

As of 30th April, I have lost a total of 8.8kg/19.36lbs (11.3kg/24.86lb since my heaviest). I'll take it!!! I know I could have lost more but honestly I am not bothered at all. I am happy I am consistently losing weight every weigh in despite my cheating. I have never posted any weight gain (so far). That is a little over 1kg per week and I am only on my 7th/8th week. If I keep up the pace, by the end of Cohen, I would have lost at least 24kg. My goal weight of 80kg (set by Cohen) is honestly a little too thin for me. I will still keep it in my ticker just so that I know how far away I am from my "goal" weight but I will be happy with 100-110kg. Still overweight, probably even obese by technical standards, but this was my weight before coming to Singapore. I could wear 36 inch jeans that time and a size Large/XL shirt. I am happy with that. I don't think I will ever be thin. Fact is I love food.

Bali, Indonesia

It's been over a week since I got back from Dubai. I'm still on a Dubai high. I have been so enamored (wow heavy word haha) with Dubai that I am seriously considering to relocate there if I find a job. Anyway, been busy as usual so before I post about my Dubai trip, let me wrap up my Bali trip. I'm also due for an update on my Cohen diet. If you have been following my weight ticker, I updated it as of last week (yey on the continuous weight loss!).
