Ge-Poh No More?

U know I haven't really blog about my thots recently. Mainly just the things that happened to me only. Cos I have no time for thots anymore these days. Over lunch yesterday with TT and Dougie, whom I obviously have not seen for months, I came to find out more stuff. Stuff in this case means things that happened which I was not updated of. And being the Ge-Poh me, I should at least know the latest gossip. Maybe work has overpowered me. It's true. I dont yum cha with the boys as much as I used to. My weeknights are endlessly meeting clients-to-be. Not that I am complaining cos some of the clients are friends who are I have not met for a long time as well. So it was a good time to meet up as well. Even gym has taken hmmm.... i dont even know where to position GYM. I haven't step foot there since .... I cant remember that too.

If you ask me what I think... I feel there is only so much a person can do in a day, a week or a month. Maybe being Ge-Poh should take secondary position now. Since my friends think I am a Ge-Poh and should be a professional integoorator. In fact, am I that? Is it wrong to show concern for a friend? Is it wrong to show that I want to know more rather than just the surface of things? Is it wrong to find out more? Does my friends see me as annoying?

I hope not.

Big Kids Skating

No one said anything about adults not allowed in the rink right? So Baby Bunny, Mr W, dimples and Porky Queen decide to "torture" themselves on a Sunday morning to Sunway's skating rink.

Yeah, you should be sleeping in on a Sunday. Not 4 of us though. :P Amongst us 4, Im the least experienced one and I am terrified of anything tat requires me to balance.. yes things like cycling, rollerblading.... (i cant do both.. or at least i cant remember anymore)

The rink was slippery and I was holding on to the railings until dimples said "It would be easier if you let go" And I was glad I did, though 2 falls wont stop me from skating. It was an enjoyable experience and even the 3 sifus had their virgin falls. muahahahahaha.. konon expert... hahaha

Though painful and tiring, it was still worth it. A good exercise to replace gym isnt it?

My Fair Lady

Never say NO to free tickets especially if each ticket costs RM350. So thanks to dimples' networking skills, we both were treated to the most boring play in town. Hahaha.. im just being MEAN. Or maybe I dont know how to appreciate plays with strong cockney accent. Even dimples fell asleep after the interval. Hmmmm... Imagine if he fell asleep on our first date?? hahahaha... But I must applaud the singing though the entire play was simply too simple and boring. Thank goodness we didnt have to pay. If not, I would have screamed.

Body Balance - will i like it more than Combat

For once (I think), i never sweat in gym. Yesterday Chelsea and I went for BBalance in Curve and man, was I impressed with the new Mind & Body Studio. But that's not why Im not sweating la. It was not a streneous class actually. Except for the pain on the thighs, BBalance was rather wat we Chinese people call "wet wet water".

Maybe the tracks Riyo taught was easier. Then again, how can I say? I never been to the class for ages. But I feel really relaxed after that. Oh wells, If I only find enough time to go to gym

p/s: And yes please go check out the new studio. Its very impressive.

PORKY QUEEN RETURNS

Time sure flies this year and the last time I took a peek into this blog was 2 months ago. I really have abandoned this poor "child". So its back to do some blogging...

Yes, so much have happened during this time....

1) Work still the same except Im doing "more" now and have less time for a lot of things but I guess the effort will pay off eventually.. :D I have a vision and I am working towards it. It's definitely not a dream. I KNOW.

2) dimples and I are still together. Still going strong and touching 5 months. :D We will be leaving for Phuket end June for a holiday with Baby Bunny.. muahahaha... my 2nd holiday this year... hmmm, where next?

3) Not been going much to the gym (only once a week) for BCombat or whatever class that comes along.. But my poor back has been aching and I noticed after BCombat. So maybe I should try less extreme classes like BBalance? That SUCKS. And not when the new release will be out soon.

4) Some friends say I am losing weight and my face looks sharper *blink blink*.. that's seems to be good news since my gym sessions are lesser these days and I am still eating like normal. I have a lot of feeding time k. Already, I am hungry now..

so off to tapau some food and I will try and return for more updates...

Sunny Day...Happy Day

What I felt? Surprised but definitely happy. Dimples know that work has been on a downhill last week and the sunflowers were motivation to keep me going. I know! How sweet!!! I guess when you least expect it, you will treasure it even more. My first flowers from him and he remembered what I like.... But i decided not to remove it from the packaging and transfer to a vase. Cos not like I have a big space on my table anyhow. :P Thank you sweetie for the sweet thoughts. Muacks.

p/s: i need to have skills to preserve my bouquet cos poor flowers will die in my hands...

I love being pampered...

I have been slacking so much that I have not been to gym regular enough lately. Well, cant blame da Queen when she has to make a living. But at least, I have tried Body Combat 31 last Friday. Frankly, the track was not that hard. Either that, my stamina has improved. Muahahahaha..... and best part is, some said I lost weight.. even though I haven't been visiting the gym....

Skipped gym on Sunday as I have an overdue appointment with my manicurist. Thanks to Baby Bunny for her giving me her spa pedicure voucher at Amante. And since I had to wait anyway, I added french manicure.

And this is me getting bored waiting for my nails to dry...

The outcome.. Voila.....

Guess its worth the 2.5 hours for such delicate and polished finger and toe nails... And poor dimples had to wait for an hour as I have not expected to take so long.

Now you know!!! Keep your bfs at home when you have your nails done. Maybe to fix your study table... hehe.. since I have such delicate finger and nails, I just watched the man in action.

I feel so pampered - all in one day... hehe

Queen of Gamblers

Before I forget, this I got to blog.

I haven't not been to gym on Monday for the longest time. Plus, I haven't done BPump for I think what we call half a year. So after BCombat, I continued my back to back class with AW in BPump. As usual, I kept to the usual lightest donuts available and even that is hurting as I am not used to it.

So fast forward.. after gym, headed to mamak session with TT, AW and JW. Was telling the boys how hard BPump was and AW had to contribute by saying "Heloo... the donut is only 1/2 kg each la."

But I know it was not. It was 1kg each. But boys being boys just wont believe da Queen. Plus, I was so certain cos I just use them and saw the "1 kg" there. And without hesitation, our dear gambler friend, TT offered a bet. RM100 worth of makan-makan if its not 1kg.


Well, I have nothing to lose since Im 90% sure that it was 1kg.


And guess who won???

CINA New Year

So what happens during CNY? Makan, Minum, Tidur, Rehat, Judi.....

Of course, we had a simple reunion dinner which mom whip out for her children who cant possibly cook.
Then you have the house visiting on CNY where we collect angpows from the married ones. And of course, attack their cookies and oranges There will also be gambling with the relatives where you try to win their angpowsAnd of course, what is CNY without Loh Sang??

Bangkok Shopping Trip

What do you call a person who goes to BKK every year? I cant help to mention that this is my 3rd consecutive year there. Each year, the trip involve some sort of shopping and eating. No sightseeing usually. Not much to blog apart that i think my trip was definitely worth it. My empty luggage bag returned with 15kg of 20 tops, 15 pants, 6 pair of shoes, 4 bags, some lingerie and loads of accessories. Not to mentioned i had even stock up shampoos from Boots. What to do. They dont call it CNY shopping for nothing.

Sigh. I miss Bkk already.

Slack Queen

I know I have not been Blogging but thats cos Im very tied up at work plus I just came back from a short shopping spree in Bangkok. Yeah, love that country for their clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. And of course FOOD. Will update more very soon.

Senn's BBQ Birthday Party

This is quite a backdated entry. No thanks to the birthday boy only sending me the pictures today. Senn invited us over for a BBQ at his place and despite the pouring rain, we still managed to get our asses there.

So after pigging out on all the food, nothing will ever stop the gamblers from earning some pocket money for the upcoming CNY. And guess who was the God of Gambler that night?

Yup, time for some candle blowing and cake cutting. The cake almost caught fire k. No joke.

Happy belated birthday to you, Senn. You are officially 26 years old now.

Movies and Theatre

It's been a while since dimples and I went to the cinema. Last Saturday, we watched Berbagi Suami and Epic Movie back to back. No regrets definitely. Both movies were worth watching and provided great entertainment.

Berbagi Suami talks about polygamy issues faced by Indonesian women today. 3 different stories and how each of them are connected somehow. While the Indonesian accent was a bit strong, the subtitles helped and demonstrated a great but twisted lives of humans in this modern society.

Epic Movie was on the other hand a lighter film. Compressing various characters from various movies like Harry Porter, Nacho Libre, Click, Narnia, Pirates of the Carribean, Epic is really a good laugh and a good de-stress. Way silly but who says anything about watching only deep movies.

And on Sunday, watched Okiku: A Tragedy Retold at KLPAC with mom and sister. Reason Number One (and prob the only one) for watching: Cousin is the director so much show support le.. Good show but the venue is just too far le. And I dont like horror flicks.
Still.. the movies are cheaper but the performing arts offer you a more personal touch. Maybe I should just stick to DVDs...
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn..................

Blogger Skills Needed

I really should be careful what I write next time. Refering to my previous entry, I think I over-exaggerated sometimes. From the comments I received, I think my friends misunderstood what I was trying to say. I dont blame them. I wrote the entry ma.

Nothing serious happen. In fact, nothing happen at all. It was the slightest problem. In fact, if da Queen dont get fed, thats an even BIGGER problem. Honestly, I think I should really scrutinise my entries and make sure it does not contain false reporting. Or inaccurate reporting.

I may get sued.

Then again, if i do, I get MNG aka Uncle Lim to solve that for me :P And that if he never again FFK Lady Di and I for dinner.

Not perfect after all...

The moment when I called him after gym felt like I have been in a relationship for ages. It's the feeling where couples start losing temper at each other. Shocked! Confused! And Sad! Why shouldn't I be? Especially when you have done nothing wrong and was just there to be a punching bag for someone's anger.

But I soon realise he must have a bad day. And John Gray once said, when someone is angry and not at their best, dont add to the flames. Just hug him and let the person you are there. I guess that works. Cos dimples was ok as soon as we left Curve.

So he is not perfect. And so am I. We have our flaws. Our dark sides. He complains. He sighs. Who doesn't? I will be worried if he keeps everything to himself. At least he shares not only his happiness but also anything that troubles him. I wouldnt say I like him being angry and shortfused. Im just not used to it. Im short tempered too. And im sure he puts up with my weaknesses as well.

So I guess that makes him special. Though not perfect.

Combat in Manulife

Lady Di and I made plans to go FF Consplant. But at 6pm, she msn me and said she prob cant make it in time for Combat. So she will have to ffk me. And I ffk Doug before that and told him I cant make it to FF Manulife. Muahahaha.. so i quickly msn the dude and told him my reverse plan.

It's been a while since I step foot into FF Manulife. But decided to attend CC's Combat yesterday and thankfully the class was not as packed as I tot it would be. I mean there were not a lot of people but just good enough to make the studio look like a pack of sardines. As usual, the class was good though I think I find it hard to adapt to the small area unlike Curve and Consplant studios. And rushing for 6.45pm class can be quite a nightmare. And I cant stand the sit-up track towards the end. Sound like a broken record and really gave me a bad headache.

Joined Karen for one track in BJam. But my poor strawberries was probably dying in the car. So had to go. Anyway, BJam is not my favourite. And surprise surprise Lady Di turned up in Manulife. But she was heading to RPM. Silly gal... hehehe...

I Need Another Weekend.. SOON

Weekend was a good time to recuperate. But was not too sure if I actually did. No gym though cos I had to use the time to colour my hair. More $$$ to the saloon. Fortunately for me, I think they forgot to charge me for the scalp treatment. :P So that means I paid lesser.

Had a wedding dinner in Federal Hotel in the evening. And baby dimples was so sweet to offer to send me there and back. You know how KL can be really unsafe these days. Especially for female drivers like me. Had to be there earlier as I need to coordinate with my co-emcee on the script. And poor baby dimples had to find some place to chill and kill time.

Sunday again no gym. It was Baby Bunny's birthday. My first time dining in Social Bangsar. The food: not too pricey and taste above average. Baby Bunny had carbonara pasta while Mr W only had caesar salad (thanks to eating too much in the spa). dimples love his lamb rogan josh while I had my al funghi pasta since my tummy was not feeling all good that day. I blame it on the Yee Mee Soup I had for breakfast. The company was great. Brenda, for the first time, was earlier than us. Maybe bcos Jessica was the one driving. Muahahaha... It was a great dinner with great company though we should have taken some pictures that night. Even the waiter tried to be funny (or smart) when we asked him for the pappadum. He had the guts to tell us that the pappadum is the yellow rice. Muahahahahaha..

The night had to end young cos all of need to work the next day. And, we all embraced the heavy rain to our cars.

Busy Month

It’s true. I’m so busy that I have no time to even blog.
I haven’t uploaded the Hanoi pictures on multiply.
I was busy being sick and have to visit the doctor twice to get a stupid MC.
I would probably get lost on the way to gym. But I think stress is helping me to lose weight. Unhealthy I know.
I haven’t see dimples since last Sunday. That’s how long I haven’t been to gym too. And I haven’t even try the new release for BStep and RPM.

These sucks.

Hopefully, next week will be better.

Last Day In Hanoi

The flight was not until 6pm. So ML and I had a early start to do more last minute shopping.

And Eating. We went to Cylco Bar and Restaurant.

The ambience was great though I cant say much about the food. The waitress was very friendly. ML and I got a free cocktail each but since ML is not at a legal age to drink, we had to return one. And before we bid farewell to Hanoi, we went to Quen's Cafe to tapau more vegetable spring rolls and salad prawn.

Additional Info
Where We Stayed - Ngoc Kiam on Chu Dong Street
Paying with Dongs are worth it than paying in USD. 16000 Dong = US1D = RM3.20
Time difference - Vietnam is one hour behind

Oh wells... heading home already... miss homeland so much already....

Day Four In Hanoi

Its the last day in Hanoi for my friends. ML and I are staying one more night. Thank goodness we extended cos we managed to catch the water puppet show. And our flights were not delayed. Cat had diarrohea. Poor gal. So ML and I went to explore the Old Quarters - shopping and eating non-stop. And we also found a delicious cafe near hotel that served vegetable spring rolls. Yummmmy....
And after the water puppet show which ML and I have no idea what they were saying, we headed for dinner by the lake. The pizza was ok but we could not finished it. A romantic place to dine and enjoy the scenery though the food was a bit pricey. But money cant come in the way when we are holidaying. And the Vietanemese Coffee was really bitter. Maybe it was me.
