saturday

Still feeling kinda lethargic, that kind of lethargy that reminds me of dengue fever... ish touch wood.

Come onnnnn

Why I'm so lazy to work out these days -- haze, work pile and I hardly check tumblr for motivational quotes! Especially the fitness ones. Ish. This has got to change. 

Because i can..

I think i can safely say that the boys are asleep because I feel like having a good bowl of maggi right now. Have yet to check what type do I have in the kitchen though. Now should I add egg to go with it? I like my maggi plain a la university -- which means I don't need to boil them on the stove, just dump everything sans egg in the Tupperware, wait 2 minutes, then gobble them all up. simple.

Managed to get free tickets to see more kpop acts this Wednesday (the aia sponsored one). Thanks Suzie for understanding how much i need to see b2st in action. Now how do I tell my husband that I want to drag him along? :)

GD's concert review is in the works. In other words, I only have one sentence penned. Probably will never be published here because the haze is making me lazy lazy lazy (I skipped gym, naturally) but g-dragon's One of a Kind tour? Best 500 bucks spent this year ever. 

Think I'm gonna hit the sack now. Tiada mood pula. Night. 

Fickle.

Couldn't decide which filter I like better. It's a good time-killer, these photo apps, although I'd take curling up on a sofa with a good book anytime. 

Glad my event went well today. Bumped into a fellow colleague at the HQ and we laughed at each other "I can't believe we've been here for 5 years!". 5 glorious years and still much more to learn. I don't foresee leaving for now because until I can find a company that can offer better benefits, I'm more than happy to continue stressing myself out here. :)

Zumba in a bit with my colleagues. Should be fun!

Can't sleep! What else is new. Nervous about tomorrow's event which I almost single-handedly handled except for printing job, ordering people around a bit and got my colleague to help with the pointers for tomorrow because even if the hell freezes over I'll never be able to understand fixed income or sukuk yeuchhhhhh. The past 4 days I've been waking up thinking OMG I FORGOT TO HIRE THE PHOTOG or I DON'T HAVE A BACKDROP but seriously having a list helps. Which I don't, because making a list overwhelm things.

I have not seen Master Pok since Muay Thai on Tuesday. My abs have been hurting *insert #soretodaystrengthtomorrow hastag here* and my week is flying by so slowly at times, too fast when I least needed it to be and before I know it's almost the weekend already. Gah! Suffice to say it's one of those weeks where everyday is a deadline day. I can handle this, I can handle this.

This weekend: Gym | post-father's day lunch | G-dragon's concert | yoga | Mama | Monsters University (in random order).

Right, time for bed. I leave you with one of my all-time favorite lagu Melayu. Wish me luck.

vegetate

Oh God I have a press release to edit. It's for our Thailand team and I need to go easy on the language and choose the words carefully otherwise they won't be able to understand it. I love working with the Thai team, they're generally soft-spoken and kind. If any of them ever have to work with us in KL they'll die because we're pretty much aggressive and kiasu here. J

Thoroughly enjoyed Muay Thai this morning. Now I just want to take a nap and vegetate.

Monday & the emancipation of master pok

I'm so exhausted today. Not like I did much anyway. Didn't go for yoga but I did attend a wedding sans the husband who participated in a treasure hunt (placed 28th out of 200 teams not bad at all for a first-timer) but the heat got to me I guess. 

And don't you just hate it when your overslept in the evening? I am still feeling a buzz in head up to now. 

Busy week ahead. One colleague is hospitalized so I'm back to juggling 2 portfolios. Barf. 

Final session with Master Pok tomorrow. As promised we will be doing Muay Thai. Can't wait! Let's kick some ass before I head to work! I'm glad I signed up with him. It's like a having a cool kid brother that you feel like smacking most of the time but you can't otherwise you'll get fat (eh?). I've added ten more sessions with him and will probably continue training under a personal trainer until I have the discipline to control my food intake (tsk) and lose at least 20 kg or something haha. Master Pok asked me if I'm expecting a promotion this year. I said probably not, but it doesn't matter as long as I 'get promoted in health'. Wax lyrical lah sangat kan. 

My right knee is still giving me problems whenever I run so until I can run properly, I'll just keep trying. 

Right, bedtime. Refusing to iron my work clothes right now because I'm a rebel without a clue like that. 

midnight

Just when I'm watching something good (it's a K-drama okay) the internet refuse to work properly and I'm waiting for it to buffer and buffer...

Then I tried to change the font of this blog but I don't know how to edit it...

Then I thought okay we sleep now.

*cough*

normalcy

"Give me 20 squats"

Ah, music to my ear.

wants and needs

Eventually I will need a new Mac. Takpe, priorities first. What I need right now is tickets out of this country. Watch this space.

Round 14

You know what, it's not easy to stay motivated. It's a constant struggle and I try to fill my head with positive thinking. My battle with my weight is far from over. I just hope I could stop being impatient and expect to see fast results. Because there won't be any shortcuts.

Training has gone from okay-I-can-handle-this to hardcore. It's gonna be harder but I'm just gonna march on with whatever thrown at me. Squats, lunges, rpm, give them all to me.

In the meantime, bila nak control food ni?

Round 13

Ohhh that Master Pok has trouble waking up early! Arghhh our 7am sessions are often delayed by 5 to 10 minutes but today he was late for 15 minutes! I'm sorry but 7am is just not on for me let's do 715 next time, he said.
Hmpfth.

Maybe I'll just alternate morning and evening sessions. I really hate showing up late to work (not that anybody care) but morning workouts are the best right? Feeling great about myself today. And no visible pain whatsoever. See? Thoroughly enjoyed circuit training today although RPM (cycling workout) got me sweating like a pig in a sauna. >.<

Okay time for bed. Yes I'm aware it's not even 10 yet.

Minor feat

Just realized that I can now button my favorite jacket at the office. :)

Monday tee bee

So a colleague contracted TB recently and because I was in the same training with him few weeks ago, I (with 50 other colleagues) had to go through a TB screening today. What they didn't tell us was that we needed a shot too. Shit. 

Oh well, it's for our benefit anyway. I was nervous of course, until a colleague reminded me that child birth is more painful than getting a tiny jab. Oh-okay. 

Follow-up with the nurses on Thursday. I'm sure I'm okay, since I'm not showing any symptoms whatsoever.

On another note, I skipped training today.  My arms refuse to co-operate -- they're so painful! But as passé as it may sound, no pain no gain la hoh? Went for a light cardio workout at the gym near my office instead. 

And rewarded myself with panini chicken sandwich. I've been craving panini for the longest time. This is quite delicious I must say, despite the burnt look. :) 

Session with Master Pok resumes tomorrow at 7am.  Murdahhh! 

Round 12

Dapat pep talk pulak today. Master Pok said by end of the year, you'll be feeling great you'll look great but I need you to jaga makan! 

Okay will do my best. I'm serious! 

Circuit training today. I must be crazy to think that I can handle 2 trainings in 2 mornings in a row. But I did it anyway. We spring-cleaned in the afternoon and me, body aching and all, fell asleep until evening. I swear I dreamt about kettle bells flying above my head. 

Watching tv. Shit, Rachael Ray lookin' great these days. Ha! Jaga makan lettew!

Round 11

So Master Pok been feeling under the weather since he got back Thailand last Monday. Gastric katanya. So our sessions this week, although still strenuous, are more mellow (in other words I didn't feel like smacking him so much this time around). He said he is okay but he seems kinda pale lately. 

Me: Dude, you're looking kinda pale. Are you okay?

MP: Yup I'm okay. Of course I'm pale. I'm Cainis!

Me: Of course la. But there's a difference between a pale Cainis and a pale sick Cainis youknowwhatImean?

(>.<)

Round 12 tomorrow. How time flies!  

Splurge of the weekend: Bought a new yoga mat to replace the old one. Reebok gittew. 

Ok I'm off to bed. Today I sent my kain Raya(s) to a tailor my friends recommended. Oh the price. *gulp*

ttyl.

Round 10

First thing Master Pok said to me this morning: "Murdahhh"

Oh I was murdered alright. -_-

Paella.

Hmm now I'm craving paella from la bodega. And their tapas. And lamb cutlets!

Seems like the morning crowd in bangsar  are flocking Antipodean (non-halal) next door now. Guess la bodega has to step up a bit. Their usual chicken tandoori was pretty crappy today but I absolutely love their latte. 

Went to the park this evening. Managed a 10 mins brisk walk. Tried running but my calves still refuse to cooperate and there were too many things in my head. Sigh. 

Here's to a better and forgiving week. 

Mea Culpa.

I won't delete the post about my siblings. Just a grim reminder for me that terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata...

Thank you for reading.
