Finally! It's weekend, and a weekend which I don't have to work. But, I wonder if I would have the chance to bake because we were actually being requested to help with painting my auntie's new house. My aunt and family will be staying down the road (as in same street 10 houses away) as my neighbour soon. How convenient.
But IF I've got the time, I've bought dark chocolate for baking some brownies - in the shape of mini cupcakes perhaps.
So, what to do on weekend? My usual BP at LM with Hobbes, and today with MC in the class and BIL doing his cardio at the machines. Hobbes started his class with "I feel like working out today!" and "Good luck MC!".
Geezzz...
Okay. I suffered a bit today because of my heavy breakfast. The dried curry yee mee definitely did not agree with tough pump class and the warm up with quite many overhead press made me nauseous already. Followed by a "great" squat track (MC and I love that song actually, very strong beat, don't know the name of that track though) and Summer Rain for chest track. It's always hard when you have chest track with bottom-up moves.
Whatever it was, no body believed Hobbes when he said back track was easy and we should perhaps just do an extra 1kg during the last set. Nope. No increase weights. So many triple rows and 7-rows, how to add weight huh? But lunges track was actually not too tough, I would even say rather easy. Too bad I had to go through a shoulder track that I hate most - take your hands off my gal. I was generally very irritated by the song hence felt that the track was double tough. It is a tough track actually! Just when you thought the music comes to an end and the track is over, we had to continue with overhead presses. Arghhhh...
I'd to say, MC as a beginner did very well today, she was absent from gym the whole of last week but could still manage not to reduce the weights she carried. Well done sis! Too bad you will be away again next week. Would need to catch up again when you come back eh?
Can feel my muscle ache already.
We went to watch Indiana Jones tonight. Exciting, brought back loads of memory and it's obvious that they are preparing to film the sequel with Indi Junior. Overall worth watching, but I still like Ironman the best this season.

有一点点吗？
当你偶尔凝视着我的时候，你有别的话要说吗？还是你是因为我那异常的眼神，而将你的目光逗留了片刻？很费解还是开始有一点点的理解？
喜欢你说时常都会赞助我, 听起来好像是瞒特别的安排. 你知道吗? 其实你是赞助我最多午餐的人. 多希望你可以是我永远的特别赞助人.
我总是爱问你, 那个"她"是不是你要找的"她". 有没有察觉到我语气中偶尔会有点酸酸的? 你是不会多疑还是开始有一点点的怀疑?
最近时常建议你不如请我吃晚餐, 听起来我好像是个贪吃的小丫头. 你知道吗? 其实我不常要别人邀我吃晚餐. 我在想，你有可能是我身边那特别的角色吗？
有一点点感觉吗?

Impulse buying
Bought a dress yesterday during lunch time. Didn't even try on it because it was lunch time and I was wearing this dress with strap that I need to tie and adjust - so it's a bit "leceh" lah to be changing in and out from that dress. But there's this dress which looked SO cute and it was at best buy and really good price. So, there... me who seldom buy stuff without thoroughly surveying did the impulse buying. The result - MC said the dress looked like it's perhaps one size bigger. Which means I should be wearing size S! Hurray!! Will go exchange later.
I was so sleepy yesterday. Luckily yesterday was one of those days which I can go back early because I've sort of completed tasks at hand and new tasks can wait till the next day. Which means I didn't miss gym last night. Did a pump class and I'm not sure if there will be any muscle ache, and if not, does it mean pump is no longer effective for me? I'm aiming for a flatter abs and I'll be happy with even just a faint trace of 6 packs. Hee...
Anyways, due to fatigue I felt really weak when lifting the weights. I was like almost falling asleep during chest track. Was wondering then if I can just close my eyes and take a nap :p. Having said that, I tried to maintain the weights I used. Lucky for me, the tracks were not that tough and relatively short.
By the time I reached home, I felt like sleeping on the sofa while eating my vege soup - yeah, healthy eating! But still stayed up to watch AI (me no Astro, so one day delayed watching on 8TV) so that I could do a follow up on the discussions on this topic. After watching it, I also felt that the result is some how unexpected.
He said "Best person might not be the winner :)"

有时候
有时候，总是想把你逗笑，喜欢听见你的笑声，能让胸口有一丝丝温暖的感觉。
那时候，你能够感觉得到我那满足的心情吗？
有时候，总是爱把想告诉你的话说成玩笑，深怕真相会把事情弄糟让你有一丝丝不安的感觉。
那时候，你能够感觉得到我微笑背后那无奈的心情吗？
有时候，总是傻气的向你要求各种回报，期待的是再多那一点点相处的机会。
那时候，你能够明白我那刻意但小心的安排吗？
有时候，我总觉得你也应该有一点点动心吧。
那时候，我想你一定能够察觉到我那幸福的心情。
我什么时侯才能够告诉你呢？

Aching
Missed step class again.
Sometimes certain things could just put you in pain, very unexpectedly.
Did combat yesterday, and guess what? Surprisingly, I'm having muscle ache. Now that the muscle pain has settled in, let me tell you where I'm aching - triceps (yes, must be the blaster), upper back (guess I've really punched hard) and abs (don't know how so but, I'm loving it!).
I also heard that if you miss too much, it hurts. I recon, if you love too much, it gives you heartache also.
My mind is not functioning well these few days. Very noticeable during combat yesterday, so blur and just couldn't take in anything. It was like I was "not there". I thought that it couldn't get any worse, but it did - I was SO VERY "not there" at work today...
Woke up early this morning feeling cheerful enough but mental note pad was blank - what IS my to-do-list for the week (day)?
Arrived in the office and got a call from my distributor asking me to attend and support them in a training session outside the office in half an hour's time. They forgot to give me advance notice. Great. Just great - still have not quite found out what my to-do-list consist of.
My new pair of sandals looks really pretty, I love it but it's making too much noise - the flip-flopping noise. Went to change my shoes before going out and waited downstairs for my client to pick me on the agreed time. She was late. Geezz... I was so tired and still without my to-do-list. Who said only Mondays are blue?
Finished the session and felt that I was not required there. Complete waste of time. Could have used that time to AT LEAST do up my to-do-list. Had lunch, which was really delicious. Not that I was hoping for a treat but hey, I came out purposely to support you, don't you feel like paying for my lunch? My lunches are usually sponsored. It's not the money; it's me being a bit cranky this morning.
Arrived back in the office and there were of course tons of work to do. I would normally be okay. Just need to multi-task a little, focus and everything should be smooth. But, not today. I was loosing concentration fast. I couldn't even manage to put up a smiling face - was replaced with constant frowning, hoping that THAT would help me focus.
Geezz... I was so wrong. Actually, until this very instance, I still haven't finished what my boss wanted me to submit. (trying to multi-task while blogging, which of course should be a piece of cake normally, but not tonight. So still nothing to submit).
Later the day, just when I told MB that I should be catching up with her at gym tonight, I was told to set up for a presentation at 5.30pm to a potential client. Humph... I'm all committed to work, but hey, I need a break sometimes.
Despite cheering from Carebear for me to do a good one, it was miserably presented. My big boss actually took over half way. NOW, that's REALLY bad... I was some how expecting some tough telling off after the session, but he was being really kind, just pointed out that it was "bad" (didn't use any harsher words) and agreed that I was "not there" but didn't give me any lecture. Thank god!!!
The night ended with me getting home through a really bad traffic congestion. And you could have just offer me dinner. No???
Didn't do anything constructive since I arrived back home. Should I do work or should I just go to sleep? I recall now that I sent Carebear a message at 10.50pm just now saying " 努力to both of us!" - both of us meant to be doing some work. Guess it's just Carebear doing some work (or have completed some work) now.
I need to clear off some stuff in my mind so that I can be more focus!!!
Not going to check spelling or grammar tonight.

Combating after a long time
No weekend bake this week. Have been working all three days from Saturday till today, the public holiday. And, I missed my usual Monday pump. If I didn't have to work today, I would have joined Carebear's. Nevertheless, in order to fulfill my gym ritual, I woke up really early to be at gym for the 10.30am combat.
I also "forced" MC and BIL to go to gym with me, therefore, MC was still looking like a sleepy head when she entered the class, declaring first timer. Half way through the class, Carebear the combat instructor announced that she finally figured out who was the person standing beside me.
Okay... Wookie who was also standing beside me might have mistaken that you were referring to him. No? MC did think that you were referring to Wookie and not her.
I've not joined combat for so long. The first few tracks seemed like new tracks to me, I don't remember doing any of those tracks before till perhaps track 5. My blur-ness was already quite extreme since I was not familiar with the tracks, plus have not done combat for a long time (at least 3 months or more?), and so whenever teacher pause to "cheer" me, I couldn't continue the moves on my own. Not that you have not prep me enough, my mind was quite full and hence must have visual cue to get me through the class! That's why I don't really like attending classes with instructors who likes to give way too many "tests" by leaving the members to do their own choreo all the time.
I thought the class was a bit quiet and I can't stop feeling "lazy", it's a public holiday after all, and it's quite early in the morning. Though MC was really sleepy, she actually said she enjoyed and liked the class, a big thank you from MC to Carebear. And a big well done to MC for lasting through the whole class!!
I wonder how much hints it takes before a guy could pick up the hints. BIL told me it's like never. Guys are not experts in picking up hints. On the other hand, I thought, some guys are prone to picking up hints wrongly. The other thing I wonder is actually, IF the guy had picked up the hints in question, how would I know if he had.
Something wrong with MSN, couldn't log in.
Tomorrow step class, I hope I won't miss.

Strange
Of late, these few days, I feel that some people around me are acting strange. Either that or I'm being a bit too sensitive. Strange...
MC is back! Got loads of chocolates. Thanks! I'll have to sort them out and make some "decisions". Hobbes being her regular (or the only) instructor would surely be getting his share. Hee...
