Too good to be true

Set my alarm at 8am but only woke up 2 hours later. Poor little baby was waiting patiently. But tomorrow I will have to wake up on time to give baby her bath.

Perhaps due to sufficient sleep and rest, I felt rather energetic and actually clapped when Hobbes said he wanted to do a non-stop class - circuit training according to Hobbes. Felt like I was up to the challenge. Well, I survived! But it was REALLY tough! Just because Hobbes won't be seeing us in two weeks time, or are you taking a break for the whole of June dear?

So, went through a no break BP, we did this chest track which I'd never done before, from the era of BP 30's as I was told. We worked the whole track from bottom, many many bottom halves followed by super slow. By the time I got up from the board after chest track, I felt my head spinning already. When we got to lunges, I felt my heart beating fast and hard against my chest. While doing the biceps, I could almost agree with the song that said "I'm in a bad bad mood, and it's all because of you...". Okay, I don't mean we hate you Hobbes, of course we love you so much, but it was really tough leh....

The parting advice from the instructor was since we worked so hard, don't go ruin all the hard work by eating Nasi Lemak. That was when I mouthed "Baskin Robbins" to Hobbes and immediately got the gleaming look from his face too. Haha... Ice cream is perfectly okay. Nasi Lemak, cannot!

So at 3pm, I headed towards Baskin Robbins, followed Hobbes at his heels without him noticing until we all reached BR. The queue was EXTREMELY long!!! When we checked, the then number being attended to was 107. My number was 128. I thought it was quite reasonable. So decided to wait... since I got company, I was chatting away and before I knew it, it had been 45 minutes of waiting already. Thought of giving up since it was rather late and the line was moving really slow. We found out that there were some inconsiderate customers taking their own sweet time in tasting the flavours before deciding!!! Humphh...

Finally at 4pm, Hobbes and gang decided to leave. Besides, Hobbes needed to rush for another class. So I was left to decide on waiting or leaving.

I waited because if I give up, I'd wasted one hour for nothing. The number being served at that time was 117. Okay lah. While waiting, I had nothing to do so sent a few text. And calculated the time BR used to serve its customer. The answer - 5 customers per staff per hour! So slow and I wasn't sure if that was entirely the customers' fault. So when I got my ice cream, it was 4.45pm -

Time taken - 1 hour 45 minutes
Cost savings - RM26.66
Reward - 2 quart tubs
Reaction from family (including 2 cousins, uncle, aunt, BIL, mum and MC (when she comes back)) - priceless :)

Okay lah, I'm all patient when it comes to pleasing my beloved ones. Cousin sis was already longing for me to get her BR ice cream when I mentioned the 31% BR discount for the day. My uncle was also very happy since he'd gotten into this dessert-mood recently. The other tub waiting in the freezer for MC to come back - Rum & Raisins + Jamoca Almond Fudge ^_^

After that was a major rush to TC! Fizz already called earlier to say she will be there early. But due to me waiting at BR, I only made it on the agreed dinner time. Farid and her had already spent 2 hours at Dome Cafe. Thanks for waiting patiently for me gals!

So handed cake to SSB (during which I managed to say "hi" to LadyNina) - thanks for the feedback and thanks for choosing TTB as your preferred baker - and rushed over to Dome.

Had a great gossip, or rather, story telling session and I am feeling really contented now. It's great to have my gal friends enjoying my stories, what more, agreeing that it's a good idea. And yeah, I'm occasionally quite smart too. Thanks for the compliment :) If only I can remember the brilliant lines Farid had came up with during the session. Farid, I seriously think you should blog too. Hehe...

As I quote Fizz, it's now Season 1 and story to be continued. But I sometimes feel that things are too good to be true and am loosing my judgement and instinct. I need help!
