I’ve had several people comment on the fact that I’ve lost some weight recently. A classmate asked me yesterday if I was on a diet. A friend whom I’ve not seen for a while immediately commented on this too, when we met up for mamak today. I’ve also noted that my belt has dropped a notch or two in the last few weeks.

I’d love to say that I’ve been to the gym, working out, etc – all very macho things to do for someone who wants to lose weight. Unfortunately, I’ve actually stopped running until June due to a heel injury and am resting my foot for a few months to let things heal proper.

I’d settle for simply going on a diet – eating healthy, lots of fruits and vegetables, etc. Maybe doing some high fibre, high protein, low carb kind of thing. Unfortunately, I’ve actually been eating rather unhealthily and consuming more food in general – lots of ice-cream in fact.

But I’m still losing weight.

I’ve just been working too darn hard. The next four months are not going to get any easier for me. I’m unlikely to be getting much sleep from now until Hari Raya Aidilfitri. It’s just that I’ve got too many things on my plate and I think that I need to drop a few things to stay alive.

I’ll need to to cut-down on my volunteer work next year to free up some time for other positive work. However, I seem to be picking up more random work.

I just have too many fingers and too many pies.

After watching the season finale and the winner of The Voice, I have to say that I think that Adam Levine screwed up royally with Katrina Parker. She was clearly America’s choice but got the boot in the semi-finals because of Adam’s scores.

Listening to her performance of “Jars of Hearts” literally brought tears to my eyes. She literally grew before all our eyes from a shy OA to a confident diva belting emotions.

She’s the only one who made me cry.

Best one I’ve seen so far. I’m sure more will be coming out over next week.

Latest PSA from Bersih.

My new favourite in The Voice.

Been away last week but here’re my picks.

Can I say that this looks friggin’ awesome!

Battlestar Galactica was mind-blowing, politically current, and dark. It lasted as long as it did because it dared to tackle the issues that others did not – a religious war, terrorism, politics. It was gritty and it saw a lot of space battles. I will always remember the scene in the pilot where the Galactica’s cannons were firing to cover the escape of the fleet from Ragnar.

One retired old ship against the horde.

Caprica gave me pause as it was going where I was not comfortable with it going but I thought that was what’s great about it as the writers were pushing boundaries. Unfortunately, there was not enough action in the series as it was a political drama and I guess, the viewer numbers dropped and it got axed quickly.

There wasn’t enough sex to keep it going either.

I hope that the writers will be able to do its predecessors justice and push more boundaries, with more awesome action.

As someone else said, “all this has happened before.”
