i survived the first week

almost one week since i last posted anything. well, i still have not got the notebook from work yet. hahaa...okoko....i think i am the only one in the office without her own personal notebook. so what if i refuse to buy one? the one from work works well for blogging and typing and surfing....except going on my cafe world....i am not complaining.

i am surprised that i am still all alert, light on my feet and cheery after the first week is over. i am amazed with myself....hahaha. i thought i was going to be complaining everyday for the whole week and i was going to be bogged down by all sorts of new challenges which i could not face, and yet, none of that came. i must have feared too much and expected the worst cannons that in the end, what i got was soft spongy balls thrown at me.

the kids have been supportive and most of them are co-operative and understanding. except for the last class that i have, gosh, i think i need to bring extra dose of motivation and adrenalin to move those lost souls who are planning to while their lives away.

i am satisfied with the pace i had the whole week. it was manageable and i still could find time to breathe. the weather is a bit gloomy and wet though. clothes are not dry. but the nights are wonderful for sleep. i have finally finished the book-wolf totem i started last year. what a relief. no, the book is not a drag. in fact, it is a very good book. i am relieved that i finally have found the time to read again- bedtime reading. finished another book this week too- percy jackson's adventure at the sea of monsters. so i guess i will be catching up on my reading which i abandoned in the holidays.

now to food. haiz....food at the canteen sucks. so little variety and the prices are inconsistent. i crack my head everyday thinking of what to eat at mid-morning. my apple and coffee filled my tummy till 10a.m. then it is hunger time. dinner is settled as i have food from the caterer. lunch? i just snack along with whatever i can grab hold of....but i do try to avoid rice and fattening food.

so one day, i got myself a bottle of chocolate milk and i had cereal for lunch. bought this box of cereal last year and it is finally opened this week. have you tried this before? it is yummy. they have almond and dried cranberries and multi-grain clusters. i think i can eat them from the box. so my morning snacks for next week???

mom told me we still have two glutinous chicken rice in the fridge (lo mai kai). so that can be my lunch for 2 days.

weekdays will mean moderate eating. but weekends.....feast lah at home. and today....durian feast again.
these 3 durians cost rm60.
had half for lunch just now. burp. i know friends in kl are craving for it, unfortunately, i am not going down. i think i can make special delivery if i go down. mom actually bought 4 durians, but she let one go for a pregnant lady whom she met who was also craving for it.

i am going to be filled till dinner time. i am still taking the chinese medicine i got last week. but i won't be taking them this afternoon lah. don't think i should mix them with a stomach filled with durian. dinner....enough of durian. so will have proper home-cooked dishes and then medicine.

can't believe that i am ending this with a smile :) i loved my week.

*i wonder if it is because i can see $$$ rolling in already
