homemade blues

What a week. Weekend to weekend, it's been the longest (to me) week-long school break ever.


Let's see. The Friday before the start of the school break we celebrated Danial's birthday ('twas a brief 15 mins or so) in his class... cupcakes and goodie bags for everyone...




And on the day itself (which happened to be Monday), we had another party with family and (some) friends... more cake!

Ibu made her famous Chicken Rice. She insisted. Even bought and brought the rice grains all the way from KB. Macam la kat sini takde beras... Anyhoo, needless to say, I gained back nearly half of the weight I lost... I haven't been to the gym (and couldn't care less about the diet) for the last, (mental calculation) umm, 12 days. Yeah, there'll be h!@# to pay. I'm re-starting the regime tomorrow.

I also realized (with some "enlightment" from watching the first season of The Biggest Loser on Astro Hallmark Ch702 - the run has ended, but are they gonna ever bring the other seasons to our shores? Correction - I just happened to see that The Biggest Loser season 2 is now on, every weekday at 7pm on Ch702) that I need to constantly push myself in order to see results sooner. Doing the same routine at a comfortable level (i.e. not making you want to puke) will not yield what I want to achieve in the time I want. So there. I'm sticking to my resolution. I HAVE TO! :)

...what else did we do during the break?...


We went to the Putrajaya Lake Cruise. Hehe. We did it because G and I agreed not to let D go with his school mates - his school organised a trip to Putrajaya, and the cruise was one of the activities. I mean, there are 22 6-year-olds in his class alone, and there are 4 (I think) 6-year-old classes. And they've got how many teachers? No offence to the teachers, but I don't think they'd be able to control all the kids in one go. And D so badly wanted to go, so we thought we'd take him - on our own time and terms. It was fun.


Oh, and we had 2 birthday parties to attend last weekend. One was Daina's son (it was a birthday plus a housewarming party which then became a mini TKC8690 reunion), and the other was D's classmate in McD's. And I also went to Along's engagement event on Sat night. Sigh. It's so nice to see these 2 lovebirds finally together. That's a whole long story by itself...


Who said staying at home is gonna be boring???
