Friday musing

TBH I can't recall where I took this.

What a tiring week! I was down with food poisoning mid-week (we suspect it was from the hipster sambal bought at Art for Grabs last weekend) and all I want to do is rest this long weekend. Lemau, sakit kepala, bloated, nauseated, you name it I have it. 

The Basics of Brush Calligraphy Class (25 September)

Yup I did it again. Went for another brush calligraphy class at Stickerrific last Sunday. Perfect me time! Perhaps partly because I need to work on my strokes (practice tak nak!) and it's also a good time for me to spend time with a friend. Dragged my friend Ills and we had 3 hours of brush lettering bliss. Learned new techniques and Sharon & Joy, sigh, such talented beauties.

Tak sah kalau tak beli sticker kan?!

That's Joy right there. Major love.

If you're ever at Jaya One, check out a cafe called Fest, right under Stickerrific. The waffles (try the Milo dinosaur) and salted caramel chocolate bar/cake! So sedap!  

In a bid to feel good about myself, I have started going to dance classes again. This terrible weight needs to go! But just gonna take it easy. I don't know.

The thing with being online

Was emailing an online seller (don't judge) and in one of her lines in the email:

"1) Please send the receipt here for payment proof (not via fb, twitter or ig. Excuses like my dad is busy, i dont want to disturb my sister, i cant/dont know how to attach the receipt, im lazy & others are not acceptable :))"

My reply:
Statement paling best! No worries, I am a responsible 39 year old. Haha.

People on IG stories are weird. Which is probably why I've never been on Snapchat (and probably never will be).

Case #1:

Wife talking to herself (or talking to the phone) because her husband is away and she has no one to talk to. Mostly ramblings, but ugh, creepy. But I still follow her 'coz her house is pretty. 

Case #2:

Socialites! They are strange beings. They talk to themselves a lot too. The one in London especially. And the jet-setting socialite (the one with the equally rich Malay bf cough cough) eats ALL THE TIME. Girl you gotta go easy on the desserts honey. 

Oh well, to each of his own. Don't like, don't follow. But still cannot resist stalking. Pftth.

legoland!

We finally made it to Legoland! We've been putting off the trip for the longest time (a) it's gonna be so crowded coz everybody wants to go to Legoland (b) it's gonna be super hot because there are no trees! (c) is it really worth it?

But those excuses aside, we packed the kids and off we go! Besides, Nana said that there is a hotel 20 minutes away which has a dinosaur theme pool. So okaylah. The boys kept asking why we didn't stay at the Legoland hotel though... er, dudes, because money don't grow on trees?

Rumi, enjoying a quiet swim alone while his Adik remained conflicted whether he should go down the water slides.

The minute we got there we hit the waterpark first because after lunch baru nak check out theme park. I'm delighted by how clean the water at the park is as compared to Sunway Lagoon. Sunway Lagoon's pools can get pretty gross by noon tbh. Legoland on the other hand has clear water and ample safety guards. Too bad I couldn't join because it was the time of the month. Boo.

The boys didn't want to get out of the pool but no choice lah. We paid for both water and theme park you can't stay in the pool forever! Oh btw, it's good to finally meet Elin / Kaezrin there! 

Lego Star Wars exhibition. 

Surprisingly, despite it being the school holiday week with 2 public holidays Legoland wasn't that packed as I predicted. Is it because of the Zika scare? Not too sure about that but if we had more time at the theme park I'd love to go on the rides at least twice.  

The thing I miss most about amusement parks in Japan (eh tetiba) is that everybody who works there are very passionate about their jobs. Even those tasked to be tukang sapu - you can see that they love their job. Why the hell not? Working at an amusement park where only happiness and laughter can be felt is like a dream come true, no? But alas, in Malaysia, you see staff having a chat, laughing away when they really should be concentrating on their job. Hello, is my belt/guard tight enough? I'm about to go on a roller coaster ride here? \o/

Yay a Lego dinosaur !

Tbh, Legoland Malaysia is pretty cool. Rumi is already plotting to come back end of the year because by then the Ninjago ride will be ready. InsyaAllah sayang, if murah rezeki.

A poke stop yay! 

Sightings at Legoland. Bosan.

On Malaysia Day, the boys once again hit the pool. Bagus juga KSL Resort ni, because it's connected to a shopping mall (yay for Starbucks and Auntie Anne's!) but the pool is a dinosaur theme park. Water quality is so-so but nobody's complaining man! I also managed to catch up with Nana who has 3 boys. 

Imaaaaaaaaaaan! a.k.a. Lobster Child

Can't wait to bring Edward here. Heheh. 

Before heading back to KL, we went to JPO to look for some running stuff. I somehow managed to injure myself at Nike (not sure how a massive thumb tack got into the pants I was trying wei) and my poor thumb bled! Terima kasihlah team Nike for tending to my thumb. Bought a perfume for my sister too. 

Ride back to KL was smooth too. Here's to more journeys with my family! 

batman vs superman run 2016

Been feeling like Rob Kardashian lately (fat and hormonal haha) and after looking at my recent photos I knew I need to get back into shape. Fast. 

Yesterday I took part in the batman vs superman run 2016 at padang merbok. it was my friends' idea since the last time we 'ran' together was at the Music Run last year. Here's the deal about running with my friends - we meet up, have a chat, at the starting line we say our goodbyes and "see you at the finishing line". They will then disappear into the horizon while my poor husband pace with my walking. yes, I walk.

I will just say it that I hate running. Partly because I am heavy and with this weight I can only walk and enjoy the view. Okay what? I still sweat nonetheless hehe.

  

Guess it's time to make use of my gym again. Been paying for nothing the past months. I want to go back to dancing! 

Obligatory feet pic with Serena. Also our growing collection of silly selfies. I love her. 

My beloved badass mother runner headband, which I wear to impress people haha. 

This is what friendship is all about guys. GOOD FOOD.
Nasi lemak Tanglin. 

Will write about our short trip to Legoland (I typed LEGOLAS just now) in the next post.
