funny

i still feel weird when i find i can fit into size 6 jeans.

i got new jeans today. its funny because now i find myself buying jeans because i need to, as opposed to because 'i want to'.

all my jeans are too longgar. i cant even hold it up proper with a belt because it bunches up too much in the waist/hip area. oh, and my belts dont even hold them up proper, because even on the last notch done up, the belt is slightly loose.

i had to resort to wearing a skirt today when i went out to find a pair of jeans. it was a nice day, the sun was out apa, but the wind was cold.. couldnt even find my tights to wear under my skirt!

so now i got myself a pair of jeans at a bargain price of 17quid (with student discount).

to be honest, the jeans i bought werent even ones i'd buy but i got them anyway because they fitted me nicely. macam, i could think of dozen other stuff i can buy for 17quid but because i cant go around in winter wearing skirts, the purchase was necessary.

now i need to give out/sell off my old stuff again.

speaking of purchases.. i ordered my weights online. hee.

i cant really say weather they're frivolous or essential buys because on the one hand.. i need it to maintain my weight/muscle mass/stress-reliever but on the other hand...

i could've made do with just yoga and pilates.

but the weights give me options. i can do strength training while reading (or more like strength training and watching tv) =D

anyhoo, its done. my dumbbells are on its way. mind you, i got my books first so i do have my priorities straight =p

oh, just a mention. over the summer i met two fellow bloggers who i only knw thru their blogs. nisya is one. well, we go way back to primary school but its only recently thru our blogs that we got acquainted again. second is the only person i knw who understands my weight obsession, Nisa! i met her on the plane on the way back to uk. its nice to finally meet ppl who u knw thru the internet!

okay, atu iklan sikit. anyhoo, wishing everyone goodluck for the start of term.

much love,
be'ah xoxo
