Burn that fats

I've been trying to exercise more regularly recently and found one really nice spot near to my working place, around 10 minutes drive and about 20 minutes away from home. Since I discovered this place, I've been there 4 times (if I counted correctly) and each time I brisk walk for 5-6 rounds (around 3km), 30 - 45 minutes each session. Sometimes hubby accompany me, he will jog while I walk, twice the kids tagged along.

The place was visited by quite a lot of people in the evening and I believe in mornings too, it is maintained by MPPP - Penang local council with ample of greens, flat walking/jogging path, exercise tools, a badminton and basketball court. It is situated in Taman Sri Nibong, behind the Crystal Point complex.

I can see a lot of regulars there, at least for the first 4 trips I was there. I observed people in different colors of skin coming together and chatting with one another like good old neigbbors, what a wonderful sight.

Let's hope I have discipline to keep to this healthy regime...

"Ngoi leng ng ngoi meng"

Hubby and I brought our girls for ear piercing last Saturday; Michelle has been bugging me for quite some time. I promise her we’ll have her ears pierced during the school holidays so that in the event things turn ugly (ear lobe got infected…), we still have a few days at home to tackle that.

As usual Emily wanted to follow suit lar.... I know I know, it’s a bit too small for her, since she’s keen and Jeh Jeh did not even made a single sound when her ears are being pierced, she wanted it too… so give her lar… (Girls…. “ngoi leng ng ngoi meng”).

Ta da… here is Michelle’s… Emily refused to be photographed. Thank God nothing “ugly” happens…. And they have been very discipline restraining themselves from touching their ear lobes…


I only had my ears pierced when I was 17, how about you?

Garnet - my birth stone

I spotted this darling at the airport and decided to pamper myself, according to the sales girl, Suriati, it is the birth stone of Januarians and I guess it is fate that we end up together, ke ke ke.... there goes hubby's pocket....

Fats fats fats

Hubby bought a blouse for me from Bangkok... it's a long, loose, fluffy blouse, the type where people normally match with a stretchable tight bermuda? I have a few of those too but I normally match with jeans. Last week I went to get this tight and yesterday was trying on with the blouse that hubby bought......... hmm.... I look like a blomming flower, the cutting is not suitable for me, made me look so plump... hubby commented "Hmm....lately you gain weight and I think you are at your fattest now, go and weigh yourself....".

Finish....it is finish when your hubby commented like that, it means you are finish..... I brushed aside his comments and said "no lah just XX kilo only mah, I took little rice for dinner tonight, got to start with my exercise regime already, or you subsidize for slimming session loh?". Hubby kept quiet....

I hurt my toe last 2 weeks, had been travelling, less mobile and physically active for the past weeks...... So I've decided to start on the weekly aerobic session again, when I travel again (next week) I must make good use of the gym facilities...and desperately need to work on my tummy....Wish me luck and discipline too..........

Make-up session

Every morning my girls witness my make-up session and they know the sequence quite well; toner, moisturizer, blusher and perfume (I leave the lipstick at the office after breakfast). Emily will climb onto the dressing table and sometimes passing me the items, at times they attempted to trick mummy into applying for them, below are some of our conversations:

E (Emily) : Mummy, can you apply for me too?
M (Mummy) : Children cannot wear make-up.
E : Why leh?
M : Because your skin is already very smooth, no need make-up, make-up will damage your skin.
E : Then why you make-up leh?
M : Err… because mummy old already, got wrinkles, skin not smooth , that’s why got to make up loh
E : Mummy not old yet, still pretty…
M : Smiling, that’s so sweet… but you still can’t wear or touch my make-up things OK?
E : OK loh….

Mi (Michelle) : Mummy, can I put on lipstick?
M (Mummy) : No, lipstick got poison, not good for you.
Mi : Eii…. if we eat it can die ar?
M : Cannot, but if too much, I don’t know
Mi : Then why you use it leh?
M: Mummy know how to control from eating it, mummy wiped away before eating.
Mi : Oh……

M : Emily, you have been playing with my eye shadow hah? (seeing the area around her eyes all in pink color)
E : He he he (smiling cheekily)
M : You apply at the wrong area….
E : I don’t know mah…. (wanted to cry…)
M: Do you spoil the whole thing?
E : No…
M : I will go and check….
