Firstly, CONGRATS LIZ ON PASSING YOUR DRIVING TEST! But more importantly, as soon as you get a car, I can add you to my list of alternatives-to-public-transport. Good work on making the list (you're so gonna be the envy of the town now), you lucky thing. :]

Anyways, it has come to my attention over the past few weeks that I am almost CONSTANTLY hungry.

What I ate Yesterday
1. I only woke up in time for lunch just before I went in for work at 12pm, so I had to miss breakfast unfortunately. Sigh. Haha. But my maid fried some noodles. It was actually quite a big bowl, but I think it was a bit difficult for her to fry so little so she cooked a bit more (I think it was about 5 fists worth of noodles maybe?) and just gave me a little bowl so that I could take out however much I wanted from the big bowl.

I decided I was quite hungry so I just finished the big bowl. (Okay, to be fair, I'm estimating 5 fists as in 5 of MY fists which are quite small-ish so.)

2. By the time I had my break at around 3.30pm, I was feeling a bit hungry again so I ate a McWings extra value meal. (Actually that's quite a lot over the budget for each person's meal, but I figured everyone always buys food from the canteen outside anyways, so really I'm doing them a favour and helping them meet their meal budget for the month. Otherwise they would have to calculate the balance and then add to dunno what and then the extra little bit of money would probably screw up their financial predictions and all. It would get super complex. Trust me.)

3. After my shift, when I got home at around 9pm, I ate dinner again. And granted that I didn't eat rice because I felt a bit tired and in my mind, sleeping always truimphs eating so I was not in "full form" but I ate some chicken, soup and vegetables.

What I ate Today
1. Before I went to the gym today, I ate some Chai Tao Kwey and half a cranberry-rye bun.

2. And then lunch. YUM. Okay. Mum, Mei and me had lamb cutlets for lunch with mash potatoes and corn:

Cutlet Count
Mum:1
Mei: 2
Me: ... 5

Then I ate my mum's left over mash potatoes because she said she didn't really want it and didn't want to waste it. (filial. Good work, Alyssa.) Then I ate 3 Kwey Pai Tees (can't wait for dinner when I can eat more! They were very yummy.) and finished up the bowl of corn (waste not, want not). I was almost ready to eat dessert. I bought two doughnuts from the donut empire downstairs from the gym and a tub of haagen-dazs strawberry ice cream from the supermarket before coming home, while Mum and I were waiting to go pick mei mei. I love donut empire. And I don't usually buy haagen-dazs cos it's so expensive, but the strawberry ice cream is the best and mum was paying so. Haha. But anyways, yes I digress. So I was almost ready to eat dessert, but Mum was getting a bit worried at this point (I think she doesn't notice ususally how much I eat because I just sit quietly and chew, but today I was telling her how I realised I was almost always hungry so I think she was looking out.) so she's put a time limit on when I can next eat. :( 4.35pm. Don't ask me why 4.35pm. Haha. I think she felt that it needed to be not only at least 2 hours later, but more than 2 hours. So add 5 minutes more.

Mum and Mei are convinced that it's because I hang out too much with the buffet bunch/the picnic posse. But I eat because I'm hungry! I'm not hungry because I eat. :( I told them maybe this meant I was going through a growth spurt! :D

Mei: "Growing spurt. Like Dad? Dad's going through his sideways growth spurt at the moment."

-.- Thanks mei. In any case, I've always been a hungry bunny, but this past few days I've been particularly hungry. So just to be sure I googled "symptoms increased appeitite". Top causes include (in random order):

1. Diabetes
2. Depression
3. Pregnancy
4. Indigestion
5. Marijuana
6. Hypoglycemia
7. Brain Injury
8. Bipolar Disease
9. Tape Worms
10. Brain Cancer

Hmm. Yeah. Actually I don't see why it's so hard to believe that I might be growing taller! Hermit Crabs eat a lot before they moult. Maybe I'm the same leh? YESSSSS! Good arguement, Alyssa. Hi five.
