Adam's safety class in progress

Wow. Didn't know they have theory swimming class.
There is adam in his swimming class. Preparing to take silver standard soon.

Last night

Tonight will be the last night that risa will be spending in my house as my domestic helper.
She has been with us for more than 6 years. Did not know that at that time she would be with us for so long.
She will be flying off to semarang, and then another 8 hours journey by road to her home in east java.
She should be back in malaysia johor by christmas as she should be taking a marriage preparatory course. She is getting married.
We are quite apprehensive about the future that she will be embarking on but knowing her she should be fine.
It will another sad day for all of us tomorrow. Just like when tri left us. I hope things will be fine for us.

Not the right time to buy a new set of school uniform.

It has been some time

...since i ate prunes. I had a couple and a couple more and just like clockwork, it showed its effects.

As you know, prunes act like a laxative. It has been some days since i had a good dump. And its effecting my er daily routine.
So i had about 4 of them.

Four hours later i was at the dumpster having a good dump. It was practically spraying shit! And it felt good. And i was sweating. Sweat is good. I like sweat.

Gym, first day.

Just spent an hour at the csc gym. Did some lifts, leg raises. Also spent about ten minutes on the stepper, and about twenty minutes on the stationary bike. Cool thing that is.

Did not think I would last the whole twenty minutes. But I did.

There are tvs inside and the everton black pool game helped to lessen the anxiety.

Now here comes the bad news. My weight is 141.30. Damn!

Lets see if I can mak any improvements this thursday.

Soursop

I think I am having the best soursop drink I have ever had! Bought it at geylang market. How best to describe it?

Beautiful?

The stall selling it is opposite the stall selling the best chicken porridge of all time!

Did more

Went to geylang market. Bought fish and prawns. Things must be cheap there as my usual budget went under ten dollars. Have myself a treat. Had chicken porridge. It cost $1.50 a bowl. It was everything I wanted in a porridge. Its cheap, tasty and delicious.

Fetch adam from school today. It was a nice slow walk. A bit too slow. He was already waiting outside school when I arrived.

Went back home and he told me about his day. Can't remember much but he did say that he finish his composition test early.

Waiting for su to be back home. Risa cooked nasi lemak today. With grilled fish.

Tired.

It was raining when I reached home and stated to take a nap. But it was not to be. Phone rang. And rang. And rang.

Damn.  Besides the sound of a leave blower walking you up, the doing of a ringing phone is probably the worst thing that one could ever use to keep awake.

Ok. I have just finish washing the car. That loosen up my joints a bit.

Had a mcdonald breakfast just now. It was not the same without su. Oh well. I will get one each for both of us tomorrow.
Just came back from kampung yesterday night. A trip with more drama than usual.
And that was when I was first woken up by the sound of a leave blower. At 7 in the morning. Who wakes up at that time?

But had a good time. Love the food love the company and dad had a great time too.

Sick

Just finish washing the car. Driving it up to the blue deck to dry it. Finally some physical exercise.

Having a runny noise. Took telfast. Oh wow! Sweating like a pig now.

It almost noon. Just wax the car a couple of weeks ago. To early to wax it again.

Good day today. I can feel it.

Have a good day to you too.

At the pool.

Dear darling, how are things at home? I have already reached the pool. Adam is in the pool and I am sitting down near his bag. He went in first while I went to look for a lot. I must say that he is very brave in going in the pool alone all by himself. He is growing all too fast.

Anyway, I hope I did not cause a tremendous disruption to your schedule in cooking for the tahlil just now. It was just like magic. My knee felt better immediately after you left. It must be allah hand in making adam forget to bring his float and rhus coming back home. If not you would have left without me.

I prefer this time slot for his swimming class. Easier to find a lot.
Ok, I should be back home in about an hour.

See you.

goblock

Goblok means utterly idiotic in Javanese. One of those goblok moments.

Neck pain.

Having neck pain tonight now. Lying on the bed. Su is having flu and sore throat.

Tuition

I am giving tuition now but i am feeling so sleepy.

I was reading my past posts when i realised there are many spelling errors. Yes, those posts were written by me but they were typed using my samsung galaxy s. No spell check and the keys are so small.
Psle is next week and i have students who are taking the exams. I wish them the best of luck.

My Day

Its a tiring day. But I managed to get a few things settled. Firstly, I managed to send Su to school without blowing my top off. The rest of the day until now 3.30pm, was good. Simply because I could walked. Boy did I walked!

1. Sent Su to school.

2. Walk from car park to house.

3. Walk from house to car park.

Otw

On the way back. Cannot find my photo paper.

I did not know it could be so windy in the train.

It was drizzling abit on the way back to the station and apart from the spicy temptation emanating from all of them indian food stalls, my journey on the way back home has started.

Train

I cannot believe it. I am on a train heading to mustafa. I am listening to mp3 on my galaxy s and this rocks.
Its not the train ride, its not the mp3s, its the fact that i am able to.

Its like, look ma, i am walking! This is awesome. Its not like i have not done this before but this time i am painless. Well, not really painless, my waist has expanded and the belt is itching my skin.

Its now 1.41pm and i have just reached buangkok. Since i left at 1.15, it takes.me half an hour to reach buangkok station. About the same time taken if i were to drive.

Scanning, scanning

Hmm, not many girls to look at. Lots if youngsters, poly age.

Ok  just passed hougang. Its 1.44pm.

Anyway, need to buy photo paper, photo album and a ladle if i can find it.

Walk

I went for a walk today. It felt good. Twice in so many days! Walked with su and i think it was 1.2km one way.
It really felt good. Do not know if i had lose weight but i felt so energetic.
On another note, arsenal lost to sunderland yesterday. Whats up with that!

Adam and Wawa

This was taken using the nex 5.

They have grown haven't they. Time sure flies. I was looking through the photo albums the other day and as usual, tears would follow laughter. I hope I will remember all the moments.

Anyway, that is Adam and Wawa striking a pose after cycling for a few rounds. I can see that they are very close. I hope they will be like that all through the years.
