Project Puasa Day 3
September 26th, 2006
only 3 days without sweet stuff and already i’m as cranky as hell. i’m beginning to wonder if i should be kind to myself by allowing sweet treats after 7ish pm, instead of an all-out month-long elimination. i mean, that’s what puasa REALLY is right – breaking fast at dusk??
this is harder than i thought. i never realized just how much dessert my daily diet consisted of! urgh, i’m at starbucks now, and earlier at the counter, i ordered a java chip frapp without even thinking. it was only when the dude asked what size frapp i wanted, did i go, eh wait frappucinos are sort of like dessert! i cant have it!
so yeah. starbucks has the fucking grossest-tasting green tea in the whole wide world.

Su Ann, for what its worth, I do admire your will. Some foods are SO HARD to eliminate. You go girl!!! Anyone who can drink green tea in place of frapps, I take my hat off to la!

er can eat sweets? haha poor thing
and i think milo can drink lar…coz its not really desserts..

can eat la after 7. but then… isn’t it like defeating the purpose of your dessert puasa if you still have dessert after 7 cos hor, it’s not like you have dessert every single hour right? it’s like trying to abstain from dessert until after 7. So what’s the purpose of the fast!? why la you make things so complicated for yourself??? you understand what i said or not cos I think I don’t :D add oil haaaa….

Be patient, young padawan.
Imagine Muslims can’t eat anything from dawn till dusk.
How about replacing the desserts with fruits? :D

it’s an understatement isn’t it?. starbucks’ green tea is absofuckinglutely piece of cow dung.

Trying to give up desserts is like trying to give up breathing….
From my obviously biased viewpoint la :P
Succumb to the dark siiiiide. Like everyone else alive. :D

i think i’m gonna have a bar of choc now. :D
but don’t lemme put your spirits down. hehehe.. keep it up!
you’ve already formed your resolve.. keep to it!
i don’t have your willpower. hhehehe

Oh you poor thing!
You’re being really really strict on yourself too, classifying frappuccinos as dessert?
Hmm…I always tended to think of them more as liquid sustenance, with dessert being something you can scoop up in a spoon, and voluptuously ingest mouthful by mouthful, and then lick the remnants off your lips, before plunging your spoon in for more and then….
OK. I’m definitely making this worse and not better. Eek!
What I really meant to say was: I always find myself obsessing about something when I cannot or am not supposed to have it. Like how I can’t stop thinking about prawn noodles and char kuay teow when I’m stuck in the middle of the (asian) culinary desert that is Brisbane. And those delish pics you post up when you’re doing restaurant reviews only increase the craving quotient too *slurps* =) Or how that bar of chocolate seems to have my name stamped on it only when I’m dieting.
Do you think that might be the case with you as well?
But good luck with it, I do applaud your bravery and tenacity – three days without sweet stuff for me would be deadly, being as addicted to tea frappes and chocolate as I am =P

10. nick au | September 26th, 2006 at 11:43 pm
aww.. you poor soul.. look at you.. miserable and gritting your very teeth gnarling at the piece of chocolate cake in front of ya.
remember, willpower to resist such dark chocolatey treats is always an admirable trait.. yess… that it is (*takes a bite) oh wow.. this actually taste quite good.. want some? oh wait you can’t you’re abstaining for sweet desert..
poor sod.

So, do you now see why the odd were 90-10 for you breaking this fast? =P It’s not that I don’t have faith in you, it’s the fact that you love desserts like Bob Saget loves sex.
13. -archangel- | September 27th, 2006 at 2:33 am
ehhhh

14. CeNt | September 27th, 2006 at 3:04 am

15. mrbherng | September 27th, 2006 at 1:26 pm
stick to your ‘fasting’ mate. Once a goal is set, you can only look forward and achieve it and not modify the goal =)

lalita : and their rocky road cakes were tempting me so :(
reallybites : sweets cannot! haha i THINK milo can.. wtf im setting my own rules and i dont even know them myself.

chapree : am doing that =(
boob : totally concur..
hishy : haha you’re the LAST person i should expect support from!!
eric : you try giving up mcdonalds or something!
michellesy : 4 days and counting! haha im quite proud of myself. yeap totally understand your obsession with things you’re not supposed to have .. hehe and not just bout food too.
justakid : yep! the banquet wasnt entertaining but i appreciated the art and skill that went into it. devil wears prada was entertaining from start till end, never once got dull. you me and dupree is a feelgood show that could have been much better imo. and funnier.
nick au : did you just call me a sod???

17. boob_omatic | September 27th, 2006 at 6:11 pm
hey su ann, why don’t you establish a tagboard?
18. CeNt | September 27th, 2006 at 6:42 pm
about my 2 hour exercise is actually seperate into 2 section one…. one is 30 minutes in the morning and 1 and half hour is jogging at the park in evening…. it is really easy to achieve if there is a park near your place.
considering want to give you a mooncake for birthday present or not… cause you said so in absoluterage. this may be the worst choice you made for your life…. eliminated yourself from dessert when mooncake festival coming….. how ever hope you can sucess lah….^^v
19. prawn | September 27th, 2006 at 7:58 pm
Haha, only 3 days and ur already cranky. how worse can it get in the next 27 days? =D
20. hanna | September 27th, 2006 at 9:24 pm
good luck with the project. as with anything cold turkey, it’s always hard to give up something you love… plan a treat at the end of your one-month milestone? ;)
and just to torture you a bit, i had the most yummy god-knows-what-you-call-it cake the other night that was all chocolate and moussey and had an oreo cookie crust and was really just the epitome of yumminess.
sorry, i just had to do it. :P
21. nick au | September 27th, 2006 at 11:31 pm
yuup…. sod.. lol.. nah it’s all in good jest. hope you didnt’ mind and if you didn’t, i’m truly sorry.
didn’t mean to offend you.
22. ArtificiallyVerbose | September 28th, 2006 at 1:10 am
haha u might develop dessert resistance after a month :P
eh, dessert puasa until 7pm is like an executioner saying he won’t kill unless he’s at the guillotine.
23. TheRealAnonymous | September 28th, 2006 at 5:29 am
