Sexy Abs

Let's see, today i feell like talking about abs...not my abs...it's ABS..in general....I've downloaded a exercise video from self webpage last week, and part of my weekend activities was focused on strengtening my abs...(dah ketak sket...call me perasan, i don't care...but seriously....less flabby and guggly (ada ke word nie? who cares, i like this word) than before). And thank you blogspot for releasing the video uploading. At least I can place my favourites exercises here. At first glance when watching the video, you wouldn't feel a thing. Seriously! Yelah, no tightening and abs movement going what...but after trying the exercise, I tell ya, you'll have this cramping feeling at your lower back and other parts of the body as well, which can be translated into 2 meanings:

a) You're doing the movements CORRECTLY and feeling the contraction of your muscles .

b) Are you kidding me? You're absolutely trying to kill yourself with the wrong movement.






Do try this 3 times/week in non-consecutive days for promising result. Why do I sound like the advertising people pulak nie?

Cup cakes

I love cup cakes. In fact, I'm craving for one rite now. It's just very hard to resist and once you've got a taste of it, trust me, you just can't stop. It's like a ciggarete you see, except it taste a hell lot better. But of course, the maximum that I can take is two. More than that, it'll leave me bloating and the urgency to throw up.

What I like most about the cup cake is the frosting. They can come in different colors and with different patterns but with one conclusion, same level of sweetness. I like to eat mine by deeping my finger in the frosting and licking it. Yummy! .There was this one time I had a bad craving for cup cakes when me, hubby and firas were in KLCC. I made my way to the restroom while hubby had to take care of Firas. When I returned, hubby presented me with 2 cupcakes, which was nicely placed on a transparent box. It was a very sweet gift, as sweet as the taste. I didn't expect to find cupcakes in KLCC but according to hubby, the shop is kindda new. I can't remember the name of the shop though.
So, rather than buying cupcakes, I believe I should learn to make them by myself. I have to admit I'm not into making cakes & cookies, but it'll be a good try. In fact, I'm sure my son would love me for this. With that, my "Pencarian untuk mencari resepi cup cake akan bermula".....And when it does, let's just say I still have an excuse since I don't have an oven in the house to bake my cupcakes :)

Favourite photos

Among all the photos of our son, this is by far my most favourite...


It was taken during our U-alumni high tea this year. Firas wasn't in good mood the time we reached the place but after seeing kak anis' son, nafeez, (middle) his face just glowed.

And oh!oh!My favourite photo of hubby is definitely this. Let's just say I lurve guys wearing baju melayu (this include my father, my brothers)...They just look good in it you see. Somehow, it makes them look more gentlemen, and neat and more masculine...har!har!(What in the world am i saying nie,IGNORE, just IGNORE)

.Hubby's gaya? Let me see, I'll give you 8 out of 10...Reason being, Baju tu compang sketlah...and bahu senget sket.....and the misai, needs trimming...har!har!

  • I hate myself for being sleepy today!
  • I hate myself for letting my sickly son stays in his granpa's house while mama has to go to work!
  • I hate myself for not doing anything at the office today!
  • I hate myself for not fasting today!
  • I hate myself for spending all my money to I don;t even know where until I'm left with less than RM100 today!
  • I hate myself for hating myself at times!
  • and last but not least, I hate myself for writing this!

So there goes my proclamation on the things I hate about myself. Lega sket!

Down with fever

I'm down with double F today, fever and flue since yesterday. Somehow, yesterday wasn't so bad since I managed to drive the car to KLIA to pickup hubby and drove to Putrajaya to have our breakfast. But today, I could hardly lift my head from the pillow and then there was a phone call at around 9.00 am in the morning from my collegue. I almost forgot that the fire fighting foam pump testing was supposed to be today.


Collegue: Shar, eh!ko tidur ke?
me : Mana ada, aku dah bangun dah. Tak sihat laa...Rasa nak demam (the fact I don't want
to sound as if I just woke up eventhough that's the actual fact)
Collegue: Camtu ko tak yah datang la.
Me : Aku datang nanti. Dah nak start ke?
Collegue: Tak. Nanti pukul 10 aku call ko lagi. Kite buat tengah hari sketlah aa.
Me : Okey

And there I was, staring at the wall, trying my best to close my eyes but couldn't. My head was still spinning when I made my way to the toilet. Went downstairs but nobody was around. Then I remembered that hubby, firas and my parents were having their Bfast at the mamak restaurant. I did feel like eating but I couldn't let my stomach empty. Had a bowl of cereal while watching the TV.

At around 11.30 am, my collegue called again.

Collegue: Eh, ko datang tak?
Me : Kul bape nak start?
Collegue: Lepas nie. Eh, ko tau tak tadi ada accident, crane jatuh.
Me : Crane yang mana pulak nie (Suddenly, my head felt heavy. There goes another CSI
investigation)
Collegue: Alah, crane yang buat gutter tu.
Me : Ko biar betul. Memain jer.
Collegue: Betul. Aku pun on the way nie.
Me : Aku siap lepas nie.


After waiting for hubby to return from the doby, we went straight to the station. Some of my office mates were already there, with the DGM and 1 manager. At the crime scene, there was this crane, tilted at the end side while the front portion was hanging in the air. It was raining heavily at that time and we had to proceed with the investigation while everything was still fresh.


What planned to be a fire fighting foam pump testing turned out to be something else. It took us around 3 hours to sort everything out. Shoot straight to my parents' in law's house to take my car at around 4.15pm.


As I'm writing this, nobody is in the house except for me and my 4 cats. All of them decided to go to my sis' house to taste her Soto. Me? Let's just say I'm trying to complete my AKP slides. Well, up until this time, I'm still not in the mood to do the slides. Err, I think my temperature is getting higher now. Somebody, please get me a panadol!!!

Here goes my definition of AKP:




AKP = $%#@!^&* S%^U$C#$K^&%$S%B&^I^%$G^T%$I$%#M%$E (if you know what I mean)

My Fitness plan for August 2007

I've drafted my very own fitness plan for the month of August 07. Looking at another perspective, I'm kindda glad that the trip to Italy has been postponed. This enable me to focus more on my training plans. (But yang, pleaselah try to push it before the year ends). Problem is, I'm not consistent when it comes to executing the plans. So, rather than keeping the plans hanging inside my PC, I've decided to include it inside my blog and get a printed copy pasted on my office wall to ensure it's being religiously followed.

Here's comes the plan:

Italy, please wait for me

I received a devastating news from hubby last week, about him returning to KL from Italy due to problems associated with visa and work permit. Don't get me wrong, it's not about him returning home becomes the devastating news, but the fact that I have to postpone my trip to Italy. I've been looking forward for this trip and haven't being progressing well in office lately.


There's a lot of things need to be re-organized such as:

a) Picking up my cutie cats from Nannie Annie who is ever willing to take care them for 3 months straight (And yes, I do pay for the cats' accomodations and mahal pulak tu..isk!)
b) Reschedule my training regime with Jane
c) Postponement of my unpaid leave and explaining to the management the reason behind it.
d) Reschedule my flight to italy and from what i heard, it's fully booked in October.
d) and the list goes on and on and on

According to hubby, it'll take around 1-2 months for the permit to be issued. Yeah rite! It takes the company a business class trip to Italy for them to discover that err..well, the new regulation just took effect 2 weeks ago....

I do hope the whole document will be ready by middle of October so that i can still proceed with the plan.

Hubby was thinking to bring me somewhere (tioman eh, or was it sabah???) to mend my broken heart kot....But as for now, i don't feel like going anywhere for this heart of mine is still burning with fire.

Gym dilemma..

I'm not an athletic person at heart but i do believe that I'm quite active. I discovered that staying active is the only thing that keeps my mood and energy high. Question is, why is it lately i feel so worn-out? I'm sure it's got nothing to do with my mood swing since i've passed the cycle a couple of weeks ago.

Now, now... I'm not going to rumble about my emotions you see. I've got an appointment with my gym instructor today and I just don't feel like going. Not that i'm making excuses not to go but I feel a sharp pain on my calves due to previous day's training and I'm pretty sure if i continue today's appointment, it's going to get worse. I guess i'll just tell Jane that i prefer to focus on my upper body and not doing vigorous training on the treadmill.

The worst part is, i didn't even take my breakfast today and while on my way to HQ to see my GM, i drove straight to McD for a set of Quarter Pounder Medium Set. Ahhh!So much of exercising betul...How will i ever blast the fat at my butt nie..

Wednesday, August 1, 2007

Hubby chatted with me yesterday and told me to update my blog. Yeah, the blog hasn't been updated since God knows when....and i'm just soo not in the mood to write anything now, and my laziness has reached tahap cipan....isk!what did i ever do to be this hopeless? What to write lah yang, my days consists of routine things, getting up from bed (eh!no..tilam lah, since i've been living in my mom in laws house since the day you went away and the fact that firas and me lurve to sleep under the cold air condition.), rushing to work, do this and that, running around, going to the gym, returning to firas and sleep while waiting for the sunshine to rise the next morning....

I've got a lot of things in my head lately, things that i'd rather keep to myself...(ladies do have secrets, ok)....but okeylah, to tell you the truth, i'm looking forward for the trip to the city of renaissance...olala!the leaning tower of pisa, the food, the hot looking guys (har!har!gotcha)... most importantly, the fact i can get away from my boss.

Some people ask me, do i care about taking unpaid leave to got to italy? Nope. Do i care it's going to effect my promotion? Hmm, nope. Do i care it's going to effect my pre-retirement benefits? Nope. Do i care if my boss cares? Hell no!

So, italy, I'll be seeing you next month. And yang, I'll try to find something nice to say after i manage to tune my head.
