PC induced headache

Sheeesh... who would have guessed, dah lama sangat tak berkampung depan puter sampai boleh sakit kepala plak!!!!!!! yup, after surfing, chatting n surfing summore i ended up going to bed with a splitting headache. the kind i get when i succumb to the godaan of nescafe. mabuk, high, berpinar, senget dunia, segala macam la heh. tapi takpe, i miss my friends and all my fav hang out places.

Part of that world is of course the blogging circle. dah lama amat dah rasanye tak menjenguk dunia rakan2 blogger. for people like me, who hardly have a social life to call their own, its a great way of interacting with interesting characters... and sometimes they turn out to actually be people you know lol.

Today, i'm left totally to my own devices. since it was raining from subuh i had to abandon all thoughts of running (osso to be honest ada gak terasa perasaan malas yang menular skit2 hehe). lagipun pepagi lagi i needed to send sidaro ke sekolah walaupun today's a public hol... something about sessi ramah mesra pengawas. then it was mak's turn - to the state mosque for her usual POP (persatuan orang2 pencen) session. after that it was the MIL's place, i'd been so busy lately i hadnt had the chance to tunjuk batang hidung for at least a whole week (mesti kena leter nih). anyway tak dapat tenguk anak tenguk mak dia pun jadi la kan ;)

When i got back i found out that mak had another occasion lined up at 2.30pm - doa selamat n ceramah agama at the house of her perkumpulan wanita friends. sidaro masih tak balik bcos she had her KH folio to complete and she was doing that with a friend right after her pengawas thingy. Sibuk skit sidaro tu this year, macam2 even on weekends, maklum la nak PMR. last saturday dia, 5 other classmates n her english teacher pegi ke central market buat survey something or other, this saturday plak ada camp hafazan n qiyamulail.. she'll be staying overnite at the state mosque (silap2 anak nye seronok sakan ngan kenkawan tapi mak nye tak lelap tido sengsorang hik hik)

Hmmmm.... macam ni rasa nye jadi penunggu rumah ek!!


*Berita Caspian*
Its almost a week since Abe moved to the new apartment. tak dapat gak la kita ni nak merasa buah epal hijau fresh from the backyard of the previous house... baru berangan nak pegi dah pun pindah!! anyway the move is probably a good one for him since its an expat area n ramai gak org malaysia lain kat situ. i fear the rusky influence n the 'kay-gay-beh'.. mana la tau kan. since the weather has improved they've started their soccer games and belum apa2 lagi Abe dah terseliuh lutut!!! tu la degil, mesti tak warm up cukup2 tu, sesuaikan la dgn umur cek abe ku saye hehehe!!! seems that today's also a big day kat sana.... a VIOM (very important orang minyak) is paying a visit to the other org2 minyak kat sana and nampaknye tonite's dinner will be very berminyak2 indeed lol

Abe - glad ur enjoying the kelate version of pencinta wanita... "ambo meme giler ore tino" ekekeh!!! luvya :)

Running break because of the ... ughh... rain!!

Tersekat-sekat

So far i havent been doing any consistent running this year. pejam celik pejam celik dah pun nak masuk mei..... and here i am still struggling to set up some semblance of a workable n do-able schedule. betul la org kata bila dah tua2 nih time really REALLY flies!!!!!

I cannot deny that age does make a difference to the level of kesungguhan a person has on keeping fit n active. most of the makciks at my office admits to it. i call it the 'penat factor'... memang cepat penat when compared to the previous years. maybe it has to do with depleting hormonal levels or probably the slowly but surely advancing premenopausal n menopausal stages. apa2pun memang senang nak pancit and for me the worse thing to deal with is the heat. kalau lari masa panas? huh.... jawabnye nanti terkulai layu ler n by the end of the day tak guna satu sen pun. thats part of the reason why i try my best to run just before work every morning... even if it means having to go into high gear so early in the day... and even if it means that moi has to 'mandi bedak' je when i start work (i only get the chance to shower during lunchbreak). nasib laa kontraktor ke sesaper ke yang datang bertandang awal pagi tu heheh.

I dunno how long i'll be able to keep going like this but as long as i am able to, i'll keep pounding away at the pavement/grass/tar whatever. its a great feeling... when ur huffing and puffing and feeling the blood rushing thru ur veins, u cant help feeling bersyukur for the nikmat of being alive.

A puter that sorta works

Change of plans.... instead of getting a new home puter, abe wants to set up everyone with their own laptops!!!! great news eh... but like most 'grand' schemes that comes hand in hand with limited resources, it will have to be done in stages. and since AF's fujitsu took a nosedive right before his finals, he's been given top priority although AI will be next with his wounded acer (mind you a cracked hinge looks pretty ghastly but it doesnt really affect much of its functions). now AH... much to the disgust of her brothers (who had to wait till they got into college), all she needs to do is come up with 8As for her PMR and she'll be getting one herself.

So daddy says.

But what about mummy then daddy dear.... huh huh huh?

I'd probably end up with AF's old fujitsu anyway...... which, since the arrival of his new dell, has been unceremoniously dumped at home. but it has suprisingly decided not to leave the land of the living just yet and seems to be working quite fine..... albeit some funny whirring noises and blinks of light once in a while. *sigh* tak kisah ler..... asalkan connected akan bahagia :)

And at least i got AF to wipe out all traces of his ubuntu and install instead the all familiar microsoft windows. no ubuntu for me thank you very much (ubuntu buat otak ku buntu ekekeh).. familiarity doesnt always breed contempt you know :)

2km just before work

Feeling edgy

I blame it on the rain. yup if the weather had held than we would have continued to the very end....

And i wouldnt still be feeling as edgy as i am right now.

Sunday mornings and its aerobics at the dataran as usual. AH & i were unusually early (AH usually takes her time getting ready in the mornings... liat nak tinggalkan the warmth of bed lol) and when i saw that all 3 instructors were present (they sometimes just alternate) i knew we were going to have a great session.

Sure enough it took off at an energetic pace and the crowd were pretty enthusiastic. we were jumping about like hyper kids and was peaking when suddenly..... it rained!!!!! yup, much to our dismay, it suddenly just poured. alas, the timing was absolutely horrible because like i said we were hitting the peak of the workout, pulses racing, adrenaline pumping, totally charged up.... and to suddenly hit a dead stop!! almost everyone terpinga-pinga dibuatnya.

Imagine sneaking a quickie in the late afternoon and just when things are about to explode, theres that unexpected loud rapping at the door and one of the kids insist that you look at something or other!!!

That should just about cover the feeling... not such a good state to be in i can tell ya!!

Its better now but it just goes to show how important it is to go thru the paces and cool down. i guess like most things there has to be some sort of closure.
