Lacking inspiration

No baking during the weekend, so no wicked indulgence entry. Planned to prepare my pineapple jam for the tart making coming weekend, but the Sarawak Pineapple I bought was not ripe enough, not sweet and lacking in colour. Can't be using low quality ingredient right? So need to squeeze in jam preparation this weekend.

(now this is really slow... using MasterChef's UK version laptop and kept tyoong, I mean typing on the wrong keys... doe wzamle this ia what happwn id i adjust my finger wrongly)

Was trying to think of a blog title but was really lack of inspiration. Diverted my attention to Facebook (everyone made their moves on Scrabulous, so I'd spent some time there, didn't even dare to check out the other parts of the Facebook, else it will take all night) and tried to catch up with my blog reading hoping to get some inspiration for my own blog writing. Still, I'm here blabbering and not having enough inspiration to get on with my blog. Perhaps I should just have a blank blog like SSB (What's that all about ah babe?).

Despite not baking over the weekend and I vaguely remember having quite enough rest, I felt so tired and sleepy when I woke up yesterday. Asked around for remedy to cure my panda-look but mostly replied suggesting I get more sleep. Is there no "miracle cure" out there? Aiming to get more sleep as advised, I'd decided to give my usual late Monday gym night a miss. Hate missing pump (didn't do any last week, I shall say I pretty much need to start from zero soon), more so Carebear said she's changing out some of the new tracks to some really tough ones! (humphhhh!)

Went to LM for some free weights and 20 minutes stepper. While working out, I'd observed how different members at LM compared with other clubs, dressing for one - you don't see so much swoosh around. Doing free weights and machines can be quite a boring option, but it's a session of no brainer workout, literally, you don't need to concentrate at all on what you do and no need to bother about people around you. I still get satisfying muscle pain towards the afternoon today.

I was quite pleased with my decision, first of all, I managed to get home early and naturally went to bed early, woke up this morning feeling fresher and more alert. Secondly, I heard that Master C didn't turn up last night for his class at TC and the class was not that enjoyable. According to my source, not that the instructor was no good, it was just mainly because it was an "emergency" and this replacement instructor was not prepared for that class at all and what with members not being familiar with him.

Not sure if the combat master went to his most happening MML class today or not because I didn't go.

I have been preparing some presentation slide these 2 days, and was really lack of inspiration too in that area, only managed to do up one slide in the morning. The slides were only ready later in the afternoon, and need to discuss that through with boss, therefore missed combat today.

Decided to go to LM for some cardio and remembered then that FI was teaching at LM today. Tried to recall which attire I'd packed today while I was on my way to my car, and perhaps it's destined because I actually had packed my Nike from London, green top with pink ribbon (Ya, not so suitable for combat, but really wanted to wear that since I've not worn it for such a long time) - so as I thought, destined for body jam class! (If I'd packed my top, the one with "body combat" over the front, I won't have joint that class!)

Arrived at the gym with FI's rather blank face staring at me while I entered, I bet it took him a while to register that it was indeed me, since I've never been to his Tuesday jam before (well, I did before he went to Dubai but I was still working in KL then). Checked with him if he was doing old or new release and he said half half. When I asked early half or later half, he replied saying later half. Humphh... Told him I only planned to do half of the class... I actually like old release better - because they are shorter and I'm more familiar with the older release (and hence I won't look so clumsy in class).

While FI gave a brief "agenda" of the night's class before he started, I realized that I'd misunderstood his earlier reply, he meant second half new, not second half old. So, I was contented doing the early half with all those familiar tracks, among them the highly-cardio cha cha heels, which gave me my intended cardio workout for today (in addition, I went on the stepper for 20 minutes before class).

It's pass midnight and I'm suppose to sleep. Besides, I've got a very tempting Sabriel lying on my bed.
