fat, thin, in between

one paper down, one more to go.
and then a major assignment to hand in, and then i will be free for a while.

today my classmate mentioned a really funny thing to me
"i think you are one of those girls who can eat and eat and never put on weight"
i was kinda shocked.
yeah it was kinda flattering to hear that, but honestly, me??!!
never!!!!!!!!
i told her you should come to singapore and check out the girls back home, and then decide again if you think i belong to the bigger side.

the thing i love about being in australia, is that i feel totally at ease with my weight.
yes, i am aware that i am far from being considered as fat,
but i was never really considered as being "just nice" or "just right" either.
i was always bordering on the plump-ish side. which was kind of irritating, to be in the middle.
and it doesn't help when all my friends are so much thinner than me.
i realised that whenever i am overseas, i give people the impression that i eat alot.
and i do in fact, in front of my classmates especially.
i am always eating, or having food in my bag, talking about food, or hollering out for food.
food, food, food. thats what i am all about, and essentially makes me a singaporean. ha
so i don't actually blame them when they make nice statements like that.

back home, i think i always get people telling me that i eat so little.
what a huge contrast!
honestly, this weight issue will never go away.
just that over here in melbourne, i don't have to bother much with it.

i think it is only when it comes to weight issues,
that a loss will result in a gain!!
