meet and greet

greetings from sometimes sunny island of sri lanka. monsoon season is upon us and its been raining gallons. been catching up with the relatives and revisiting the food that i've missed. take my advise for those of u who might someday tie the knot, elope- its kinder on the wallet and ur saved the trouble of the many sqaubbles that are bound to occur when deciding on issues such as colour and food. god. i just wanna officially become mrs mahamooth, i don't give two hoots what flowers you put with the black n mustard tablecloth!sigh. i think i need a massage. the fact that my wisdom tooth is playing up isn't helping.

thus we've chosen the location for the registration dinner as well as the menu. we're also catering a meet and greet dinner at one of my aunt's place. we'll be checking out a few hotels for the wedding banquet next yr as well as looking into invitations and bridesmaids stuff. lucky imthie, he'll be here on the 31st when most of the leg work would've already been done.

oh! i forgot. i met imthie's family the day after we arrived. i know it's highly unconventional to not have met ur intented husband's folks till a few days before you get married. but well as azira said convetional is boring.i was so nervous before but we got on famously. they've got a cat like princess too! i've got pictures but unfortunately no usb cable so it'll have to wait.one of my biggest concers at the moment is that my cousins will inflict too much bodily harm on imthie when gets here. i'm hoping too that we get thru this without my mother having a nervous breakdown. pray for us..missing you guys la!!

almost time

its been a busy week. getting things together is harder than it seems. can't wait for sunday when i finally get to sleep on the flight. for 3.5 hrs anyway. haven't been able to hit the gym this week. but trying to be careful with the food. its been a uphill struggle but i pat myself on the back when i stop at or two kuehs instead of having the whole bottle. the boy has lost some 5 kilos and wanted to know how much i'd lost. i was like hehe, none.

in other news got a brazilian yesterday. whilst not nearly as painful as extraction during a facial, its not for the faint of heart. but the results are worth it i think.

gotta go get some IT stuff for a cousin back home. sigh. men n their preoccupation with gadgets. love to all. will post pics as soon as possible. see you guys soon! hasta-luego amigos

working on my fitness

you know when you have one of those when you're tired for no reason. a blah day so to speak. today was one of those. didn't help that i had training with din. tried my best to get myself in the zone but ended up whining mostly. if my muscles worked half as much as my mouth i'm sure i'd be closer to where i need to be :) but regardless i love how you feel all your muscles after a weight-training session. even as i type i'm aware of my aching triceps. i guess its that awareness that i've missed mostly.

went to jb yesterday to buy kuehs for the mum. it wasn't even remotely cheap with 8 containers amounting to bout $100. couldn't resist (yet another ) pair of wedges. these ones were strappy gold n black that'll be perfect with baju kurungs. that'll be my last pair in a while i promise. bought a coupla t-shirts as well so i don't flash the poor unsuspecting kids at school too often in my low cut tops. and most excitingly they were having a sale on vanity fair lingerie and i bought 3 bras that do amazing things for the girlies and at only 15 ringit each! i have to say tho that the malaysian experience isn't quite the same when you remove eating from the equation.

am working till the end of the week afterwhich i'll be on leave for a week to make sure i get everything sorted before leaving for sri lanka. will be seeing the bf in 21 days. yes i am counting down, so bite me. seriously, i might actually enjoy it. heh. to kick off my transition into domestic godess i learnt how to make chilli beef spagetti. sigh. so many dishes so little time.

am hoping the days go quickly by. selamat hari raya puasa to all my muslim friends in case i don't update my blog for a while. love ya guys :)

viva la france!

sport teaches one many an important life lesson. yesterday's rugby world cup taught us never count anyone out till the final whistle is blown. oh and of course that french men are divine. the french came from behind to beat the tournament favourites new zealand. do they have a hakka for when they get their asses wupped?? apologies to the many all blacks fans out there but i've got a soft spot underdogs.

in other excting domestic news spring cleaning in full force at home what with the festival a mere week away. seriously where did these last three weeks go?? there's actually enough room in the storeroom now to fit more than a foot in. i had forgotten that the wardrobe in there had a mirror. was supposed to pop in to jb to get some kueh but the late night watching rugby kinda negated that possibility.

spent saturday getting the shop on with azzy-bazzy. sigh. now if only everyday was that fun. but then of course we would quickly run out of shoe space. talking of shoes i've confessed my fondness for them to immy, who says the rule of the house is gonna be that for every new pair purchased two are gonna have to be gotten rid of. but he's open to creative use of negociation of course :) i've bought three pairs this month alone. two wedges and a pair of gold ballet flats. le sigh.

ok i've got two weeks before i leave for sri lanka. looking to step up the workout routine, especially after fasting. gonna go on the no-carb-at-night diet. and start the food log again. i'm at peace with my body at this point but miss the tone and muscle definition. will get there again with a little more time in the gym and waching what i put in my mouth. i'm now 68kg, looking to go down to 60kg by next july. so watch this space.
