Mommy's day out

Going out with the boys today to meet my uni friends (haven't seen them for ages). Yup just me and my kids. I must be losing my mind. Me with the boys who only listen to their Ayah?!

Wish me luck. But in case you see a frantic mom chasing after two kids in rainboots, send help.

Stop.

I keep forgetting I'm not my siblings' banker nor financial advisor. Macam ni lah, I'm done with all three of you okay? I'm done preaching, I'm done telling you about how to save money, about your future savings, about your retirement, about long-term investments...

I'm tired and I'm done. The money of the dead can only bring you temporary joy. My only hope is that you don't come running to me when you need money. I've done my part as a sister. I hope you're happy. 

Round 9 and the weekend is here~!

Early morning session today, and most likely I'll go to the gym in the morning if possible. It feels fresher to go in the morning and I won't die of  heat in the car or worry about trying to beat the evening traffic if I were to go for an evening session. Or maybe do alternates. We'll see how it goes.

 

I thought there's only one type of evil planking but I was made to do 3 types of planking today (apparently there are 22 types in total) - spider planks, cat and bird plank (I made this up but I swear he mentioned some animals) and plank mountain climb while Master Pok did some push-ups to stay awake. I AM ROLLING MY EYES AS I TYPE THIS. The rest of the hour went by in a blur.

I kinda miss drowning myself in a good book. But reading doesn't burn calories! No lah, actually I can't seem to find a good book to read right now. Either that or my attention span is as short as how I can keep the house in order haha.

 

Have a good weekend. Thinking of going for yoga on Sunday morning. My trainer is on leave until Monday but he ended his session yesterday with a caution: "Jaga makan".

 

Pffthh.

 

OK I'm hungry now. Peace out.

It's alright. Round 8

Had my first weigh in with Master Pok yesterday. A little bummed that my weight didn't show significant drop but it's alright (maybe I'm going through a weight loss plateau?). I'm thankful with the encouragements and support that I get from my family and friends but by the end of the day, it is still me who needs to sort myself out. Workouts yes, bring them on but I'm still having issues with saying no to unhealthy food. I CAN NEVER SAY NO TO FRIED RICE! *whimpers* I had nasi goreng for breakfast today.

 

Funny how Master Pok has a new word/phrase for every session with me. The other day it was "I'm feeling murderous", yesterday was "torture". I also get words like "suffer" or "Beyonce" etc. And I don't think personal trainers are paid to laugh at their clients!

 

We did 64026841 sets of lunges and push-ups and squats yesterday. I swear I could almost feel my legs ready to snap into two. Or four. Or nano-smithereens. When I say 'we' this means I make my trainer suffer as well by working out alongside with me (although he did it without even puffing at all. Pffthh). You know I have the right to torture him as well for laughing at me. Hah!

 

That aside, managed to secure G-Dragon's concert ticket in June. Hoping that this will be my last concert for the year then bam, I found out that CN Blue is coming in August. Shit.

 

Anyways, here is a picture of my eldest trying to make friends by doing whatever the other boy is doing. Whenever he make new friends he doesn't ask their names but automatically calls them 'kawan'. I don't know why some boys just don't want to be friends with him maybe because they think he's a girl? Boleh blah. Ibu will kick their sorry little asses.

Round 7

I ate so much last weekend and of course I had to work my ass off during Round 7 with Master Pok yesterday! Magically enough I can now maintain the same pace in ten minutes on the stationary bike and stepper. This is wonderful because it's a sign that my stamina is getting better. 

The only thing I hate to do is jumping because I still feel heavy. It's okay. Easy does it. After all we are working on strengthening my knees and legs first. Blah blah blah. 

You guys, Mustafa Jones' New York steak is delicious. Just sayin'.

Life is beautiful.

Happy Mother's Day

Hope you guys had a wonderful Mother's Day. Can't wait for the boys to grow big enough to understand Mother's Day so that they can throw a tea party for me or something. Hee hee.

Eurgh Monday tomorrow. Work piling up.

Notes from sore limbs.

• My eldest baby turned 4 recently!!! Such a beautiful soul this boy.
• I pretty much cut down on my twitter time since the GE13 (or weeks leading to the big day) because, okay, I get it, everyone has something to say. It's your platform to voice out your opinion and disgruntlement (shit is this even a word*). These days tumblr is my new friend because there's no politics there, only a disgruntled teenager (my niece), kpop stuff and fitness inspirations. Ha! Ha! 
  
• Glad that the weekend is almost here. Road trip to Raub tomorrow. I heard nasi hujan panas and ayam masak merah will be waiting. Can't wait.


• Session 5 & 6 with Master Pok were good. We've gone full cardio although lifting weights made me want to cry a little. I need to cut down on cursing though. Can't help it! 


• Mother's Day this weekend. Can't wait to see my pretty Mama.

You know, when life gives you lemons, just cut a few slices and drown them in warm water and drink! Especially in the morning. Good for digestion, boost immune system, balances PH levels, clears skin, freshens breathe etc!

Have a good weekend.
