October Fun!

I'm truly sorry. Bad me for not blogging for over a month. This is my first for October. Thousand apologies. I've been facebooking quite a bit and then had a short break to Penang. Thereafter, I had my work. I know, I know...excuses all the time ... Lol!

So, what's up or down in October? It's close to month end and Year End Sale is going on full swing everywhere. Have you bought anything special this month? I did not. All I did was stuff my face with all those yummlicious food in Penang and got home a few kilos heavier. But was quick enough to shed them off, not much but a little. My secret? Dont do dinners! Yeah, I just have some fruits for 3 days in a row combined with yoga exercises and you can actually see the weight reduction. Trust me!

Then, talking about yoga. I have joined a different studio now. I get to learn more poses, real difficult ones this time that makes you sweat like nobody's business...I mean like doing those military exercises in boot camp! And I have 3 different teachers with their own style of teaching which I enjoy the most. One who is calm and guides us with some easy ones, the other who is in between agressive and mild and the 3rd who is really agressive. I've tried all 3 and I salute them. Awesome is the word. Okay let me not bore you with yoga, let's talk something else...:)

My trip to Penang, was fun. I had like I told you lots of food to eat. I did morning walks with my niece. We went shopping. Other times we stayed indoors and watched movies. Weather was not so kind. It rained the whole trip through but it was good to be back with my brother and his family and especially my niece, Shangkharee.

I have some pictures of my trip to Penang as well as some pictures taken at my new yoga studio. Here, have a look ... and that's all for now. Catch up real soon. This time I won't promise but I will be back...soonish! :)

During my morning walks with my niece, got attracted to this flowers...

Pretty Lazy September

Ugh! Can you believe that? I've only blogged once this month? Bad me :) Well, been pretty lazy gettin' on here. Nothin' much happened this month. It was the same old routine - Work/Yoga/Home ...Oh! Noooooo! have I lost my zest??? Lol ! Nah, I am I think, well balanced. Just that I am not pushing myself a little harder. I will soon. October will be fun. I'm just waiting to leap into October and get the excitement it has offer. And I will blog more then!

I hope you've been having a wonderful month, if not...cheer up ! I'm sure we can make it up in October :)

Take care!

Monday as fast as Usain Bolt? How I wish ...

Sorry ! I've not blogged for awhile now. I keep telling myself I must write daily but that does not seem to be working. This is my first for September. Well, I guess I only think of blogging when I am in my useless state! Yeah, Mondays' my bad days especially today. It can be rather depressing when you try and try with all your might to get rid of the Monday blues but fail ! Haha, that's exactly me today. I have been a total flop at work. Procastination seems to run high today. Trying to jump-start the day with coffee and it's my 4th cup now. Nothing seems to surprise me out of this feeling...Lol ! Gawwd ! I would never wish for another Monday like this and I wish today was as fast as Usain Bolt...Lol !


How's your day going? I hope nothing similar to mine :)

Cheers...

 

Continue boot camp ???

This morning, I completed my 11th boot camp session. It was good. I got home with dirt all over me. We had to do 10 different on-the-spot exercises with as many repetitions for a non-stop 4 minutes for each. I felt it was a little easier than all the past 10 sessions. It also made me wonder if I am fitter and stronger now, thus that feeling? I think so! :)

And the biggest question is whether I should continue boot camp for another month...which starts on Sept 3 after a 2 weeks break !

Hmmm......I'll decide soon.

Beautiful day y'all ! See you soon....

Monday Blabbers ! Ugh ...

Tonight will be my 10th boot camp session. I'm not well today. I got a slight temperature and my throat hurts abit. The muscle that I pulled at my groin is fully recovered. But, I still have the pain just below my hips. When I sit for long hours, it's really painful when I stand and walk. But, I can't be walking all the time! Now, what am I whining about? No excuses, Danem ! You are going to do your 10th session! Period. :)

So, being sick I took the day off. I called in sick and now relaxing in the comfort of my room. No, I did some work too. Working from home. Got to do the minutes of a meeting held last week, sent a mail to my boss recommending office closure for next week, replying to other official mails. I also "disturbed" a few with some mails...lol, and whatsapp-ing with my friends. It's nice to take the day off and do some "work" :)

Hmm, a hot sunny day and I'm already on my 2nd bottle of Gatorade. It's the Grapefruit flavour, no caffeine, no carbonation :) While having this drink, I'm only thinking how strenuous today's exercise would be at boot camp. And, I just went on the scale, it's really depressing. I'm only seeing increase of weight. Oh ! why ! ... I just can't understand. Even it's building muscles, I don't want the weight to go up. I will never be comfortable. I feel that I have to do something about this rather than having to revamp my wardrobe. Probably, a diet is necessary - and, I don't like dieting. I will miss the packet nasi lemak, the roti chanai, chocolates ...oh my ! all fatty food are my favourite...I have to "revamp" this rather than my wardrobe ... seriously !

You know, it's nice to write blogs. As you write whatever that comes to mind, you will realise where you're going wrong for instance my weight and the reasons behind it. See ! Now, what am I blabbering about? A little of a chatterbox, ey ? LOL ! I'd better pen off here before I make a nuisance of myself...

Happy Working, peeps ! See you soon in my next blabbering blog :P

My Niece, Shangkharee

Hmm, I've never spoken about my beautiful niece, Shangkharee. She's my brother's daughter. My mum's first grandchild. A 3rd year medical student. Loved by all. She's an amazing girl. I was in Penang recently and it has been awhile since I stayed with them. I did it this time. Shangkharee has grown up so much. A 3rd place winner in Dewi Remaja contest held not too long ago. She's a beauty. She fits the description "beauty with brains" ! Yup, brainy indeed - scored straight A's in all her exams. Who wouldn't be proud of her? Here's to you, Shangkharee : Love you to bits ! And you go girl ! Stay positive, stay beautiful and above all stay GOLDEN cos' you're my Golden Girl ! :)

So, take a peek at my golden girl ! :-











It's the Weekend !

I always look forward to weekends. Today, being a Saturday I wanted to make it a ME day, sleep in till noon,  have my brunch, watch a movie, take a nap etc etc. But ..............I woke up at 5am because I forgot to turn off my alarm! What a waste. Thereafter it was just turning and tossing and finally I got up and decided to be useful...lol...

I did some facebooking...ahh ! that's not useful I know but that's like a everyday ritual kind of thing for me ...lol...I am a little curious as  to what the world has been up to while I slept ! Hahaha...So, as I was saying, a little facebooking, a little chat with my housemate and then the useful part was the laundry ! Yay ! did my laundry and they're now happily under the sun. It's a hot day in Malaysia. I'm only glad to have the sun when I do my laundry ...lol

Soon, I will be doing some packing. No, am not going for a vaction. I'm MOVING !!! Will let you in more about this in my next blog...

So, how's the weekend treating you and what have you been up to ? Made yourself as useful as me? LOL..

Happy Saturday folks...and enjoy your weekend !

Much Love...
