a fine week indeed

what a pleasing week it has been.

i had fun, the body feel good and so the person is lighter and cheerier.

one of the reasons is less stress i guess since i got all the markings done and could take a breather.

the second reason i can think of is being able to run twice this week despite the erratic weather.
yup, it was raining every now and then and my jogging plan could only be confirmed as soon as the rain stopped. i was desperate for a run that even though i had taken a shower earlier in the afternoon (i thought the rain was never gonna stop), i decided to hit the road as soon as the sky became clear and took another shower again after the run. it felt really good to run after the rain since it was less humid and the air was crispier. the perspiration was heavier too.

psst......there is this sports carnival in the coming saturday, hence, the running has to be intensified if i want to get a medal in my 5km run. hahaha....
took part in similar sports carnival twice and i came back with medals, so i cannot go downhill in my achievement. that medal must be in my hand!!!!

anyway, since i felt good, i also felt confident in whatever i was dressed in, or maybe because i felt good, i thought i also look good in whatever i was in?

had fun taking shots of my work attire 3 days in a row and posting them on facebook. it took consious effort to pull together all the looks actually....but it was fun. i love the accessoring part.

so it was all brown and nature tone in this one. the motives on the skirt matches the bracelet and ring which also have leaves dangling from them.

the colour to highlight in this one was red. someone remarked 'wow so red' when i emerged from the stairs....so i guess effect achieved! too bad my red watch was already broken and thrown away. that red sandals were kinda sloppy but it was a hot day and luckily it was not that strict at the workplace.

black is seldom my choice, but i just felt like going all gothic on that day. well, you can't see the little skull attached to one of the rings, can you? i wished the finger nails were painted black as well. been lazy to pain the nails....one of these days lah. a male colleague loved my bracelets combo too.

oh, did i mention that i felt lighter? well,the reading on the weighing scale was still the same so i guess it is the toned muscles that did the trick. oh, i also controlled my diet. there is no more dinner nowadays. i can't sustain that fast which i tried during the fasting month, it was quite a torture to withstand hunger haha. so instead, i choose to eat really light for dinner.
breakfast is still 2 pieces of toast and a cup of coffee. then lunch was a little rice with meat and vegetables. dinner, i have some fruits. luckily there was no hunger pangs in the middle of the night.
this here was one of my dinners. my housemate is getting married and she is in the midst of all the preparations hence this cake which is given to relatives and friends to announce the marriage. frankly, the cake sucked because the crust was too hard. but if i did not finish it, my stomach would be empty for the night. so in the end, i took as little crust as i could and finish all the red bean paste filling. i do not like those with lotus paste filling.

and the week could not be all bright and rosy and all sunshine right??

so there was this mishap that happened to the front left wheel of the car. i am a lousy person when it comes to maintenance of the car. it was the clerk at work who noticed one nut missing from my tyre. bless him.
so on friday before heading back to tg malim, i brought the car to one of the kids' tyre shop and this was what actually happened to the wheel.
one screw was broken!!! how did this happen??? did somebody try to steal my car? well, my car was parked inside the house this week, so it was quite unlikely. did the workers who changed my tyres few weeks ago accidentally exerted too much power and broke it? well, there are only guesses now and no answer. anyway, the problem is already fixed, a screw was found and a nut bought to replace the missing one. and the price?? 0. it was free. the kid's mom even wanted to treat me a packet of nasi lemak she bought for lunch. but i had to refuse the offer since i don't take nasi lemak. she was so generous and kind. i guess i owe her one.

another chip in the otherwise perfect week- i could not get my hand on mcdonalds happy meal's gift toy!!!! they are giving hello kitty light box!!!

can you see the picture?? the red heart will light up when one button is pushed. how cute is that? i went all the way to kampar just to have my happy meal and i came back disappointed. unhappy meal indeed. they had run out of stock ;(
not going to try other weeks anymore since the taste of bad mcdonalds fries still had a bad taste in the mouth. i think the fries had been left a tad too long before serving. horrible.
but if anyone wants to help me get one, i be very happy ;D

and of course, the week ended with the biggest news and widely anticipated one the whole world, the release of iphone 5. woohooooo!!! never had phone shopping been so great!!!

i am like a dog waiting for its bone now. can't help dropping saliva all over the place when i see the phone. i think this phone promises great things for a first time smartphone user. some say it is nothing to shout about since the changes are not that much since iphone 4s. but of course fans will say otherwise. i am just glad that the phone does not grow wider but taller instead. the reason that stopped me from buying samsung galaxy s-3 is its clumsy size. thank goodness iphone 5 is still more refined and classy.

and now i have to start comparing and doing studies on the best package for me. do i sign up with a telco and get their package and pay less for the phone? or do i just buy the phone at retail price and then get whatever mobile package i want?
will have to see when the new plans and rates come out on maxis.
pre-order has already started in the united states and the results have been so overwhelming that they have to delay the shipping, meaning customers have to wait longer already.

gosh, when will we in malaysia get ours??
