The Weekend that Just Passed

Ok, I'm now at the Ford service Centre alone. This is my first time here alone. Normally my Darling Hubby takes care of all things related to the car or we come together. But today, he can't take leave. So here I am waiting for the car. According to them The car will be ready in 3 hours. I've only be waiting for 30 minutes of the 3 hours and I'm already feeling sleepy. So,to kill time, let's blog about what we did last weekend. On Saturday morning, Shah went to play badminton with his friends from Uni*ten. Maisarah and I stayed home. The little Princess watched Disney Junior while I got down to doing some exercise. I managed to do 40 minutes of circuit training consisting of star jumps, lunges, crunches, push ups, oblique crunches and burpees. The first round I did 30 repetitions each and the second round I did 20 repetitions each. By the end of the 40 minutes I was drenched in sweat. On workdays I normally spend 20-25 minutes doing 2 rounds of star jumps, squats, crunches, pushups, shoulder bridge and burpees with 20 reps in each round. However, I don't exercise every day. just alternate days. Ok, so back to our weekend. Shah got back at 10.30 am and after he showered we went to Our usual weekend hang out, Alamanda. I had one main mission in mind, to get me a special 'apple'. You see, I was away the previous weekend on a management retreat to Lenggeng which was 40 minutes from Uni*ten and like 10 minutes from Semenyih. But,the phone reception there was like I was far away in a remote jungle. There were Maxis coverage intermittently but my current phone showed no coverage at all. And to make things worse, somehow when I woke up in Lenggeng the phone decided to reset itself and I lost all contacts, photos and most importantly the video from Maisarah's first school concert. I can't remember if I have copied the video onto my laptop. But in any case the original is lost forever. Anyway, cutting the story short, I have gotten a phone to complement my iPad. With iCloud, hopefully I will not be losing any more precious photos or videos. Alright, back to the Saturday story, we spent the rest time in Alamanda buying goggles and swim cap for Maiarah's first swim class as well as grocery shopping. That night I cooked Ikan tiga rasa for the first time. I must say it is not at all difficult and Shah was happy with the meal I cooked.


Sunday started early. We were out by 8 am because I wanted to hit the gym earlier than my weekly schedule of 9 am. I worked out for 75 minutes and then hit the showers. I was ready by 10 am for some breakfast before we headed to the swimming pool at Precinct 16, Putrajaya. Maisarah was going to attend her first swim class at 11 am. She was all excited at first, learning to flap her feet, blow bubbles in the water and semi-float (with the instructor holding her slightly) in the pool. But halfway through the class she was cold and made excuses to stop. First, she wanted to pee but when we got to the bathroom she didn't go. Then, she was hungry. She excuses included about her goggles being too tight and the she didn't like wearing the swim cap. Anyway, she stayed till the end of the one hour after Shah and I reasoned with her. We also sort of bribed her to go to Alamanda (again) for lunch.





After lunch, she was in a more jovial mood and by night time she was teaching her teddies (whom she refers to as her kids) the lessons she learnt from the swim class. She was also excited to go to the class next week. I hope she will like the classes and learn fast to be a good swimmer, unlike her mommy. I've just got to remember to feed her well before the class and get her a swim suit that is like the diver suit so that she won't get cold easily. So, that was our last weekend in a post. Oh gosh, I still have another two hours to kill here at Ford. What should I do next? Hmmm.... - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
