Moanday.

First day of Active Health today. I foresee 4 days straight of Starbucks and Foodfare since the course is spread out into 4 days.. Not that I'm complaining but I can certainly hear my wallet screaming. lol. Not really a good time to be spending so much since I'm going for a trip next week. But then again, I still need to eat.....  Not sure what to expect for this course either.. Waiting for Love to go get breakfast pairing at STARBUCKS.

Dating at Work.

Feeling super depleted this morning. Woke up at 3+ in the morning (again) and went back to sleep. Was awoken by noises and realised it was already 6.30am! Hali didn’t bring home her keys yesterday and Abang Rosli is on MC, which means I have to open the sports hall and office by 7! Was really hoping Dicky was the FI for the morning cause Uncle Goh isn’t working on Fridays and only Dicky has the office keys. If he’s not working then that would mean more trouble for me cause some gym members are not easy to deal with. So I ended up opening the sports hall 5 minutes late and some badminton players were saying things like “wah open late ah. Need to complain to town council” which I totally ignored cause 1) I’m human and humans makes mistakes like waking up late too (and he should be thankful I wasn’t late for 30 minutes) and 2) we are not under town council. Didn’t want to make it spoil my day so I just left after unlocking the gates. Am so glad Dicky was working and the gym has started operating already.

Finally joined the Resistance Band class after missing out the past 3 weeks. The ladies positive energy is just what I needed. Love seeing how motivated they are and they always treat us like their own children. Even though I was super tired and sore, it was still as fun as always.

After the class, Love and I made our way to Suntec City for the 50plus 2017 convention. Love asked if I wanted to come along and do the workout with him which I (obviously) agreed to. I was more excited to be out of office this time cause it’s an event with Love and targets the seniors which Love and I have been running programmes for. Went for brunch at Suntec’s Starbucks before heading to the convention hall. Honestly no idea what to expect at all. Went through the plan while having our brunch and I was confident it would work out well because Love did all the planning. True enough, the whole thing went smoothly except for the timing but that was not our control cause the timing part was not planned properly by the organizers (I feel). Love did some alterations during the workout which was one of his fortes. He’s able to change things on the spot smoothly and seeing how time is running out, he managed to alter accordingly. Stayed a while to join the Basic Japanese class and boy was it entertaining. Love is leaving for Japan in a week so he wanted to learn some basics.

Headed to Starbucks again after to get beef pie for Love. I was still full tbh but I didn’t want Love to have to squeeze and eat so much later at night. So got myself the tomato flatbread and another cup of coffee! Walked the whole Suntec cause we made the wrong turn and only realised when we were reaching the North wing which was in the middle so continued walking to East wing to take the train from Promenade instead.

We headed to Sports Hub to train at the gym there after the whole day of movement. My energy level by then was only 45% but since I’ve already told Love I wanted to go to the gym again and I know Love would want to train. I wanted to bench cause I didn’t bench on Tuesday but ended up being super disappointed with myself when I couldn’t bench 25kg. Felt like a weakling. I was really on the verge of crying. As much as I didn’t want to show, I think Love got the feeling that I wasn’t happy. Didn’t want to give up so did other machine exercises instead. My wisdom tooth kept being a b*tch and I had to handle both the pain and my fatigue. Love kept saying “now you know how I feel” and “Rabak seh you tired” which did pissed me off but I didn’t want to spoil the day so I just kept quiet. Can’t complain about my aching tooth too. Spent 2+ hours at the gym with longer rest time today but I still had a decent session I guess.

The thing I loved most today was being able to go dating with love throughout the whole day! Perks of working together with the significant other! Brunch date after band class, dating at the roof garden while waiting for our segment to start at Suntec, tea-break date after event and gym date! ❤

Gym date at Sports Hub

Love didn’t have PTs today so it means dating! Went to sports hub gym to train lower body after work. I’ve always thought it was insane and I’d never be able to train for 3 hours. Today, I proved myself wrong. I followed Love’s training plan (doing lighter weights of course) and went on for 3 hours! >< Call myself insane.

It was fun tho. I love training with Love. I feel more at ease and safe with love around. There are times when his trainer instincts kick in but that’s what I need to. He guided me through deadlifts and other lower body exercise. Didn’t really feel tired until after training.

Went foodfare for dinner. Love still hac 1000+ more kcals to eat and I know he would not hit if we were to go back straight so suggested to eat at foodfare. Nice down time for us too. As much as I wanted to have what he had, my wisdom tooth was giving problems and my gums were sore so had to go for yong tau foo instead. But it was still lovely nonetheless. 

Mid Week

MID WEEEEKKKKKKK!

Our dates are usually either watching movies or chilling at cafes (most of the time Starbucks) or just having early dinner together. This time we decided to do something different! Love was complaining about his messy eyebrows and I needed to go threading too so I jokingly said that we should go together since I still have my membership card. And so we did!

I didn't know that Love have not tried threading before until today! Loved seeing how he was throughout. I think, being his first time, he was worried his brows was gonna be too thin or even worse, gone. I totally understood how he felt cause I went through that roller coaster feeling when I went for the first time too! He was super cute, with that worried but still want to look macho look. Kept saying he's fine but I'm pretty sure he wasn't 100% fine... The lady was nice and kept assuring Love that it will be alright. I, on the other hand, couldn't stop smiling looking at him. Super adorable. Love is a more serious kind of person compared to the childish me but when he showed this side of him, it made me fall for him even more. Threading turned out well! We were both satisfied with our brows and Love wants to come back so this means more threading sessions with Love!

Headed to Nex at Serangoon to have our early dinner before we make a delivery. Today's date was a combination of self-grooming, dinner date and AFI meetup at Serangoon. Knowing Love, he'd want me to choose a place nearby in the east so that it would not be too far for me to go home. But I didn't want him to be running around so I suggested to eat at Nex's So Pho. We've talked about trying So Pho but never really been there. Googled the dining places at Nex and saw So Pho so why not! That was prolly the best decision ever! I fell in love with the Pho! As usual we took quiteeeee some time to decide on what we want and ended up going for their simple beef pho. I fell in love as soon as I tasted the soup! Loved how it had just enough taste, not too salty and not too bland. Wished they gave more beef but it was alright! Had a lovely dinner while chatting with Love. I mean, what better way to spend the midweek than to spend it with my love right? ;)

We ended the day heading to meet the buyer at Serangoon MRT. Love let me pass the item to the girl and I awkwardly did. Hahahahah! It was my first time and the girl seemed eager to leave so I just quickly passed it and collected the money! XD

Ladies Day Out!

The super overdue ladies day out! 

My off days are always occupied with my own plans cause staying home on off days means just lazing around. Off day usually starts with Pool Walk in the morning, brunch with Love at Starbucks followed by either staying on and doing work or going home, shower and head back out. 

This week, Love had a course to attend to so I conducted the Pool Walk alone and headed back straight after. Ibu mentioned that she wants to go Halal Hub and asked if I have plans on my off day. It's been a long time since I last went out with her so I asked her last night if she wants to have breakfast and go Halal Hub today. Didn't know kakak's off day was on the same day too so she ended up tagging along. For once I actually drove independently without any other drivers in the car! 

Had brunch at Chick-a-Boo which was obviously not my choice. The food was alright. The chicken tasted like Arnold's but I did like the sweet potato fries. Sat for about 1 1/2 hours chatting and laughing. It feels different now cause both kakak and I are in our mid-twenties now. The marriage age they say. Ibu brought up a conversation she had with Bapak when they were in JB about us getting married and how it'll be. So started all the marriage talk. Both kakak and I do not agree on having a big event. As much as I've always dreamt of a grnad wedding, I don't think that it's feasible, especially in the current economy state.

The conversation continued for quite some time and more crazy ideas popped up, like getting married together with Pak Busu and Hadi so that we share the cost, getting married in Australia so we dont have to invite so many guests and many other different ideas. I naturally started talking about Love and the buffet spread consisting of greens and meat he mentioned about. I'd want to take the simplest way and just get married at ROM without any big ceremonies but doubt that would be possible. 

We went Halal Hub after we got tired of laughing. I personally think it's overpriced there! I mean, there's nothing really wow about it. Ended up getting 2kg frozen chicken breast from the FROZEN SEAFOOD shop opposite Halal Hub. Lol!

I needed coffee badly and it was a Tuesday which meant Gelare 1/2 price waffles. Had our tea break there and continued chatting. We were all getting sleepy thus the coffee. 

Lovely day it was, just spending time like that. Once in a while is fine but not too often! :P

On a side note, chubby cheeks gotta go!
