OMG!
I was on half day leave this morning. I had something to do. Then, since it is friday, it is also our (hubby & I) nasi briyani day. Well, there's this stall in the mosque which sells superb and cheap briyani. So, while waiting for hubby to finish meeting, I went to One Utama. And my goodness - my intention to just waste time and walk about, ended up with me being some RMxxx poorer...hehehe
Got AIR some clothes (erm, for chinese new year, mind you. Since for raya already bought ma, so I bought larger sizes to keep till next yr) - really cheap, and some stuff for myself. Too bad I couldn't find anything for hubby. haha terrible....It was only less than 2 hours and gosh!! I'm shocked!
so this weekend, I shall refrain from shopping or going to shopping complexes...but how? There's the Pureen Warehouse sale in PJ which I want to go check out....

Cooking 1,2,3
I suddenly had the urge to cook.
That was last week, though. haha
So, first it was my 2nd attempt at cooking porridge for my son. Yes, 2nd attempt only. Lazy la. But then, since I discovered that he likes my 2nd version better, and he gets really hungry without his dose of porridge for lunch daily, I've decided that I will have to cook during the weekends for him now. What to do....:D
And so, from porridge it went to grilled lamb, and subsequently choc cupcakes, which later turned out to be more like brownies...hmmmm
now I think the bug has hit me!! hahaha but my cupcakes no sambutan la, hubby is not a cake person, and I'm too ashamed to give it to friends at its a bit more chewy, i.e. like brownie...so, I shall try to improve it this week!! keke
photos still not downloaded, so i think i'll post it up in a totally different post....
Right now, I'm excited bout the porridge I'm gonna make tonight/tomorrow. :D hahaha

Good run!
Yesterday, I was super excited, when I could pace 2 guys during my run in the park. hehe
Cos recently, when I run alone, I keep at an ultra low speed, and I get demotivated very fast. At the slightest out-of-breath feeling I get, I just feel like wanting to stop. Terrible. So instead, I go on the hilly route, so I dun have the intention to stop so fast.
then yesterday, out of the blue, less than 1 minute into my run, two young guys came past me, and after few seconds, I thought 'hey, I could pace them' and so that was what I did. I didn't care that I made my presense felt/known but I just wanted to keep going. 1st lap, I was right at their heels, 2nd lap they did a fartlek, and I followed, but slower on the sprints....and to my dissapointment, they stopped!! Aiyo!! and so I plodded on again for another 1.5 rounds or so with some hills and stuff....I would've gone longer, but it was already 715pm and lil' AIR was waiting!! so I left, but happy with what I managed. Faster and perhaps longer ....
IT's unfortunate tat I may miss Shape Run tomoro...aiks...

Headache, neckache, bikeache?
OUch!!
I've got this weird headache cum neckache since yesterday evening. Goodness knows how I got it and I thought I could sleep the neckache off after some light massage (Erm more like pressing at the pressure points) by myself.
How wrong was I! I woke up to the ever existing neck ache again this morning....and now at about lunch time, my headache is back. Its on my right temple area. Yesterday I thought it was due to my contact lenses so went home, I immediately removed it. Alamak, still there....tido, wake up this morning...gone, for a while, but came back when I was getting ready....aiyoooooo wats this la??
hmmmmmmmmmm
hope it goes off later today....or maybe I could run it off? kekekekek I'd love that!!
And when I was reaching my place last night, I bumped into a cyclist....rupe2nya, this guy lives in my area!! hmmm now i need to find out which block - ya la, cycle up the slope sure slower than my car ma...how to wait n see....kekeke so looks like I found some 'kakis' ....just that he looked fast...(slim, trim and got the whole outfir going)....tunggu la till I start and gain my stamina and speed then baru can join other people. hehehe
The approach to my place has got 1 steep hill....there are two ways, which we call it the front route or the rear route, and both, 1 steep slope...only difference is 1 is longer and the other shorter but slightly more inclined. Now I'm beginning to imagine what would happen if I take the bike out and I need to ride up that slope. Arrrrgh!!

Eclipse?
Ooohhh I think its been sometimes since I felt really busy at work. hahaha Since last week, I've been kept on my toes, and when you're busy, time flies...gosh, you seem to run out of time so fast and before you realise it, its time to pack your bag, clear your desk and go home!
I'm liking it, though. I suppose after months of bumming around (those were the days where I just blog about anything and there were 3-4 posts a day), this was much sought after.
But then I do miss not being able to blog too....hehe can't have the best of both worlds I guess....
Erm, today was supposed to be a historical moment for mankind - the longest ever solar eclipse. SUpposed to last for some 6 minutes, starting about 9am this morning, but the hazy skies and gloomy weather didn't help. HOw to see anything?? Looks like we will have to wait another 60 years for this? erm...lemme see...if my maths is right, I would be too old...hehehe IF I am still alive...well, IF I am, I hope to be still senile, erm able to at least walk (with help perhaps) and be well, of reasonably good health. I'm sure by then there would be some old-age-related health problems...kekeke
So, lets see....another busy week this week and perhaps another one coming soon....Weekend's almost here, but it won't be for me, I guess....

Walking yet?
*Thank God for friends who are concerned.* You know who you are....
On 19th July 2009, finally we bought AIR a walker and he tested it. It was hilarious – he kept moving sideways and when he just couldn’t reach or get what he wanted, he cried out in frustration. I guess he enjoyed his ‘new found freedom’. Prior to getting him the walker, I bought another contraption (konon wanted to avoid buying the walker la, and save money, end up buying eOfxtra contraption), which looked like a puppeteer device. Well, imagine the seat of the walker, strapped stringed into one handle, so instead on having to bend down to assist your lil’ one when he’s trying to walk, u just have to hold this device (I’ll try to upload a pic)….so he looked like a puppet…hehe but ended up, we used it as a swing and he loved it.
So that was the walker-experience.
Of late, he keep wanting attention and has difficulty trying to sleep. Well, everytime when he’s sleepy, he will make such a fuss and takes forever before we finally put him to sleep.
This morning, he woke up for his feed at 430am (or was it 4am?) and after feeding, he refused to sleep. He continued playing with his musical mobile & toy in his cot and oh boy, now hubby thinks we should ‘silent’ the mobile. Hehe I think by the time he slept again, it was probably 5am already. I didn’t bother to check as I don’t want to know how soon after I had to wake up. J and he was awake again at his usual wake-up-time, by about 620am!! Can u imagine?
Neways, thank God I’m preoccupied with work, otherwise I’ll be dozing off by now…
Out of curiosity – if there is an option of having a live-in help (be it maid or nanny, assume its local and not a foreigner) or to send daily to the nursery/babysitter, which would you prefer

A little prayer...
Dear God,
Is it in all fairness that this is all happening to me? Am I being thought the lesson of 'circle of life' or 'what goes around must come around'? Is this what it is supposed to be?
How come? Why? What about it being the other way around? What about the others?
I'm totally confused and I'm not sure if my patience will pull me through. I've been ever so patient for so long.
Please explain or show me the light through to all this....
I'm sure you're doing this in your good time, and I'm sure you've got your reasons for all this. But I'm just wondering how long it will take before I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Does that sound familiar? Or perhaps you know of someone who sometimes does say/think of that....life is full of challenges and ups and downs....
