No Dipping Tonite

I had wanted to go for a swim tonite. Unfortunately, when I got there, it started to drizzle. I was hoping that the drizzle would stop and I could do a few laps in the pool. Then suddenly, I saw a flash in the sky. Urgghhhh.....that was the lightning. So, no can do. Looks like I'd have to forget about going for the swim.

Rain and more rain

The other option was to hit the gym and sweat it out on the treadmill. Not too bad actually. I kinda enjoyed the work out, much to my surprise.

Another Donut Joint

We stumbled upon yet another donut joint in the city - Big Apple Donuts & Coffee, located at the Gardens Mid Valley. It has almost the same concept as J.Co Donuts where you get to be aromatically tantalized as you queue for your donuts.

One thing I was glad though, the queue wasn't as long as the one at J.Co. It was fast moving too. In less than 10 minutes, I got myself a dozen of those donuts.

Taste wise how do they fair? Personally, I'd still prefer those J.Co ones. They are more fluffy if compared to the Big Apple. But all in all, I welcome the variety offered by both Big Apple and J.Co. They surely beat those from Dunkins donuts flat!!

Snippets from Last Week

Work has started to build up. My meeting schedule was all topsy turvy. When Friday came, I felt all my energy had been exhausted. My brains had been picked to the max. Proposals and presentations were lined up for submission back-to-back. Urgghhh...what a life...I need some breathing space!!!

I figured if I don't have much time to post in the blog in the weeks to come, I should at least try to provide snippets from what's been happening in the week.

Monday 11.02.08

The road was still OK. Driving to the office was a breeze. I fasted.
Work was picking momentum. The day ended with my swim & sauna (S&S) with Muni.

Tuesday 12.02.08

The usual traffic jam was back. More people had started work today.Had a meeting in the city. Came back to the office after the meeting. Was beat tired and still had a bit more to complete at home.

Watched the late nite news and Mr PM told reporters that there were still LOTS to be done in the country. He needed to still hold cabinet meetings...so he said, the parliment may not be dissolved YET to make way for the upcoming elections.

And why does something inside me say that..all these..they are a bunch of CRAP. Continued to finish my work. I finally went to bed at 2 in the morning.

Wednesday 13.02.08

Took the train to the city. Had a whole day meeting with client today.

At 11.00am received an SMS saying that Mr PM had dissolved the parliment.Yesss....my guess was right. The guy gave some award winning presentation when he faced the media yesterday. Indeed, it was a call only Mr PM could make....but why lah the acting??? Nak bubar parliment...bubar je lah...as if it made much of a difference to layman like us.

Thursday 14.02.08

VALENTINE'S DAY today!!! Got a surprise gift from ABE. OK...thank you...thank you. By mid day, my head was spinning like crazy. Something's not right somewhere. I could feel a flu coming. I just wanted to go home and sleep. Work was crazy and my heart was just wasn't into it.

Friday 15.02.08

TGIF..... However, I had some deadlines to meet. What a drag...Wanted to go S&S that night but my mood swing was just terrible. I'd better not lah...nanti ader plak yang kena screamed at for no reason. Must be the hormones...I tell myself...sob...sob... In the end, I went out with Nissa and ABE. Got Nissa the watch she wanted and I got myself a new bag!!!! And that got me smilling again.... and I knew it then, it was the retail therapy that helped swing my mood back to normal.

Saturday 16.02.08

Went for S&S. Did more laps than my usual. Gotta be really serious on shedding some of the extra kilos. The sauna was extremely HOT. It was like an oven. I stayed in there for a while. I wanted only to burn some fat..not bake myself. Mom & friends came over for lunch. I sent them later to Concorde Hotel for their Hi-tea. ABE & I later went back to Seremban for a kenduri at ABE's mom's house. Arrived back in Shah Alam at almost midnite.

Today - Sunday 17.02.08

Lazy day today...Finished my beading. Searched high and low for my Strawberry Shortcake recipe book. I was so sure that someone (ABE, of course) had done some cleaning up and the book was "cleaned" together with the other things. Dah jual kat paper lama lah tu...I told bibik with a bitter tone in my voice.

Anyway, bibik later found the book terselit under the wing chair. Kena mintak maaf la cam ni to ABE for misjudging him.

Went for S&S in the afternoon. The place was packed with the Le Tour de Langkawi guys. Officials, cyclists, media..the whole gang.

And tonight, the highlight of all...I baked cupcakes. This time I created my own recipe. I added a few new ingredients to the original recipe.

Nasib baik lah they turned out OK.

And my new invention got Nissa overwhelmed with joy. She ate 3 of those fresh baked cupcakes at one go!! So I guess my baking will continue...at least for now.

My 4Bs Option

I have these 4 Bs option to pass time tonite. I could choose to bake, read a book, do beading or go to bed. 4Bs - bake, book, bead or bed.

Should I bake?

Should I go for books?

Should I finish my beading?

Or just go to bed?

In the end I opt to blog instead :-) and that had added another B to the existing four.
