IT WAS FUN!!!

Some couldn't join us cause she was super sick, so it was just Char, Somester and CoCo. Some missed out a great class! :D We started late due to some late comers, the instructor also gave the class some pointers before class starts as step aerobics was considered high-impact. Don't want anybody to get hurt!

It wasnt full attendenace but the studio was full nonetheless. We ended up standing right at the front and me next to the instructor! Stress... Guess what, she actually recognise me!

Instructor: "hey you're from my class..."
CoCo: "Yah, monday ABT class..."
Instructor (Face lightened up): "Oh yah ABT! So where are the rest of the group?" (and looked around)

-_-

We're like some silly fan club, so onz... Paiseh...

Anyway, the class was intensive! We had to REALLY concentrate or else we'll miss a step and fumble around stupidly.. Haha.. It happened a few times for me as my 'kapoh-ness' got the better of me. We were working so hard to keep to the steps that before we know it, the class was over and we're sweating like mad.

***Feels great to sweat it out!***

Initially, I didn't want to go as I wanted to go buy the CD for my wedding dinner. But later I got Cobby to buy it for me after work. Boy was I glad that I didn't skip class! The instructor said that next week she'll add in tummy workout. Looking forward to it! Yeah!

Poor Connie~

Connie's not looking too good recently, she seems to be losing weight, her appetite has reduced and she seems pretty lethargic most of the time. Mom says that she must be sick or something, so I'll be taking her to the vet this sunday.


An idea struck me yesterday, maybe she's having teeth decay problems! She's a pretty old cat, so I guess her teeth would decay like all living things right? If I have tooth decay, and my only food is hard cat feed, I wouldnt be able to eat properly without pain, and that would in turn make me tired and lose weight too right?


Anyway, that's my theory. We'll see what the vet says. Sigh... I'm worried. Would Connie pass away before my wedding day? I'm preparing myself mentally for bad news. Hope that it's not anything that can't be fixed...

Waddling Waddle

On the bus to the train station this morning, a plump woman stood next to where I was sitting. I don't understand why she had to squeeze herself into that small space. There were definitely more standing room further down the bus. Anyway, she looked really uncomfortable, standing there holding on to the railing with her left hand while carrying her bag in the other. When the bus started to move, I had an unbearable urge to laugh out loud...!

While the bus was moving, she kept trying to balance herself by tightening and lossening her grip, causing her round and flabby arm to twitch uncontrollably. What's so amazing about a twitching arm you say? Well obviously you havn't seen a FAT arm trying to twitch! Each twitch sends a ripple up and down her arm, so watching her was like watching a radar screen... Beep... beep...

Control we have an unidentified boggie... Beep... Err we have confirmed that it was a whale...

Hahaha... I am so mean.. I swear Karma would one day turn around and bite my ass... I would turn into a old auntie with a huge butt and arms flabby enough to fly.

Hiyah!

Missed me? Haha... very busy recently, I don't even have the time to blog anymore...

On the surface, I have to::

1. Prepare for my wedding in August
2. Moving to my new house
3. Work - Now basically juggling two job profiles

Beneath each point up, there are endless things to do! Not forgeting the things that I dont blog about.. :)

I worry about our future constantly, Cobby and I. I can't say much now, but I don't think I would be able to rest until the issue is settled. So far I have not spoken to anybody about it, as its not confirmed. But I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

I miss rotting around and being worry-free! But I guess I have to push through for another few more weeks... then it will be over! Jia You~!

Transformers ~ Not Transforming Leh

DAMN IT! I STILL HAVE NOT WATCHED TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Argh! The whole world have watched it but me! I'm like the pre-historic creatures that crawls under the rock. I just wanted it to be perfect so I was very stringent on the cinema, timing and seating location. If any of the factors is sub-standard, I'd rather postpone it for a later date.

Meanwhile, I have to suffer the whole world telling me how great the show is...

-_-

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nightmare

I believe that if I voice out my dream or nightmare, it would not come true. That's why I wanted to share with as many people as possible about my horrible nightmare last night.

When I told my friends that I had a terrible nightmare last night, they immediately ask if it was the usual, ghouls and ghost, falling, trapped, etc. I felt that the scariest type of nightmare would be the ones you find it hard distinguishing the real from imaginary.

In my dream I was told that a family member of mine was dead.

I was so devastated and shocked that I defiantly refused to believe that it was true. I remember repeating "it's not true, it's not true!" The pain and the anguish of losing a love one was so real and overwhelming that I had to force myself awake to escape the dream. The worst thing was when you fall asleep later and the horrible dream continues to plague you instead of changing into another dream.

I awoke and slept again so many times, that after awhile I can't distinguish whether I'm asleep or awake, and that's worst. Because I started dreaming that I was awake, asking others if this was true and having people confirming that yes, he is dead. Do you know how scary that is?



So this morning I woke up feeling very exhausted and weary. During breakfast, I know this sounds crazy but, when I was chatting with my parents and I mentioned the person (who died) in my dream, I actually paused for awhile and watched their expressions, half expecting them to react just like how they did in my dream, with sympathy and sorrow and tell me that he's passed away. Thankfully, they just looked back at me and waited for me to continue with what I wanted to say. So I'm happy to confirm that it's just a dream. No one died.

SO I guess the only victim here would be me, because that bloody dream robbed me of my precious slumber. But even as I passed my day at work half awake, I’m secretly relieved. And just to make sure, I'll take every possible opportunity to tell my tale.

Ready - Get Set - Go!!!

Humph! Didn’t really feel refreshed after the weekend because we did so many things! On Saturday morning, woke up at 8am to go have breakfast at my sister’s place with my parents and cobby. We discussed about the wedding preparations after breakfast and we sort of listed out all the things that needed to be done.

Well, on one hand, it’s good to list things down as it gives us a clearer perspective. When you put everything into words it seems more organized and less scary. But on the other hand, it also showed us how much we have NOT done and that made us pretty green in the face after the meeting.

-_-lll

So, it’s ok! It’s not too late; the wheels have been turning non-stop since then. After the meeting we went to collect the wedding cards, grab a quick bite and tried to find my kua embroidered slippers all over Chinatown. I found one that I quite like, but no size!!! Disaster!! Ok lah, if by the end of next week die die cannot find one that I love, I’ll just get any other designs available. Slipper can’t get, end up with another pair of blue satin heels and a yellow spaghetti top. Sigh hopeless…

Quickly get home to start the ‘production line’! We chose to buy and tie our own ribbons for the wedding cards. After an hour’s work, we had to set off again to meet Cobby’s family for dinner at East Coast. We could have finished early if people could only turn up on time. Tsk. Anyway, I don’t want to repeat myself, you can read my last blog to know how LONG we’ve waited.

By the time we reach home, we’re so tired we can’t do anymore work. Slept like a freaking log… K.O.

Woke up at 8am on Sunday morning. (again) Because 1 July 2007 is the day Cobby and Cobby mama come to my place to 提亲… (To ask for my hand in marriage) :*)

It didn’t take too long actually. In summary, we spent a total of 10mins having small talk, 30mins talking about what both parties need, and another 10mins in awkward laughter. Haha… Overall it was pretty ok.

According to Cantonese tradition, Cobby need to give the bride lotus paste pastry on the day of the wedding, so we went down to Chinatown (again) to show Cobby and his mama where to buy, but the shop didn’t open on Sunday! Oh well, now that they know where’s the place, it’s their problem now. Bought some more stuff for the wedding before finally escaping from the mothers and went home to continue working on the cards.

Let’s see what we’ve done so far. We’ve folded 225pieces of inserts, 205 cards, cut countless ribbons and tied 100 cards. Today both my index fingers are slightly redden and swollen. Think I’ll take one day break before continuing the rest on Tuesday. Looking at the pretty ribbons I tied made it pretty worth while. I’ll target to complete by Wednesday! I can do it!!!!!!!
