Working out

The main reason why I wanted a PS2. My form of exercise... DDR! ( DDR = Dance Dance Revolution )

( My trusty mat and Chester's DDR game which I've been holding captive for a looooooooonngg time! )

Exercise "was" DDR and my occasional run at the stadium with ck. We used to be so regular with our exercise regime. Now, it's more like "what exercise??"

Yesterday, was introduced to Pilates for the first time at Body Active Studio ( Thanks Vun! ) I was surprisingly nervous before class. Now, I'm not flexible.. Not very strong. Quite unfit with all the cakes and cookies that I've been baking.. I was quite nervous of making a GREAT BIG fool out of myself. Thankfully, it was a very small class.. Plus! It being the first time, all self-consciousness I initially had was vanished very quickly with me focusing VERY VERY hard trying to get all the positions correctly done!

We did this particular position..

It's not easy I tell you! My arm was wobbling quite a bit. The instructor got us first in a crouched up position then straighten out to that with the bottom arm as the support. Then, you have to weave your other arm down and up like "threading a needle". Boy am I going to get nice triceps and biceps... *grin* More Pilates tomorrow morning! A "fusion" class. Let's see how well I'll do then. Expecting more "wobbling"! hehe..

I want to be able to do all these by the end of the year! Without shaking!! or show any signs of wobbling.. ( If that's a reasonable goal.. )

What do you think ck?

Toys

I'm getting a new toy!

Most probably . Instead of my original plan of ... It refuses for some reason to come to Asia.. Even palm customer service in Singapore can't give me a proper answer if it's going to debut in Asia! Or maybe, they can't! Hmm....

Red's such a nice colour isn't it? Have been waiting for an antenna less Palm Treo ever since the Treo 600 came out in 2003. 4 years! That's how long I've been waiting.. Should I wait some more for the Red version? Since it has been 4 years. Then again, don't want to go get the Graphite and suddenly a few days later, they release the Red one! I'll scream!

Anyway, by getting the Graphite, our take is to "cover" the Treo with something at least. Now most cases are opaque which in a sense defeats the purpose of a Red Treo. So, we've come up with the solution of just getting the Graphite version and cover it with a colourful sticker skin to make it stand out! ( Got a friend, Aubrey, who just opened up his shop in Q-lap Mall. He specialises in skin stickers for anything mobile. You guys should go check him out. 1st Floor )

Can't wait for my new toy.. Just got to decide when I'll get it.. Definitely will! Just.. w-h-e-n

At the mean time, I'm going to be selling my current toys.

Zire 72s & Nokia 6280

Any takers??

Ck's waiting for his new toy too! ( If it is not JUST a rumour )

From his current e61
to the 'rumoured' E61i

Which is supposedly coming out this quarter... What's the diff? A camera! For him to take tons of pictures so that he can send me MMSes. PLUS it's black!

What shall I serve?

We eat in ALOT now.. More for the past month than we had for the past 6 months combined! (Ok, that's an exaggeration but you get what I mean..)

All meals are cooked by me of course! ( Ck only does instant noodles and PB&J sandwiches.. But if he had to choose, PB&J sandwiches as there's no need to cook! ) Cooking everyday is no easy feat.. Now not the cooking part mind you but coming up with the menu for the meal. Sure, there's tons of produce and meat products to choose from but which you use to make a meal is not an easy task. Choosing from a list made up of prawns, chicken, bacon, ham, beef, lamb, fish, capsicums, all green leafy veges, eggs, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, onions, cheese, bread, tortillas, noodles, beans, corn, pasta, mushrooms, potatoes... See! It really isn't easy!

PLUS! we all need a little help in the area of "weight watching". Especially with all the baking I've gone mad with for the past month. (Ck bought me a gorgeous BIG oven that can take a double batch of cookies easily when we moved in)

My BIG oven/stove top that has worked really hard since Day 1.

Cookies, cakes and pavlovas.. You name it, I'm attempting to bake them. So we're going to have no carbs for dinner since we seriously don't need any of it when we often stuff our face with chocolate chip cookies or Serious Orange cake as snacks! Thank God I'm Chinese ( Chinese cooking - stir fried veges and meat ) But then again, I'm a true b-a-n-a-n-a or as some cultures may call it, a t-w-i-n-k-i-e! Yellow on the outside but white on the inside. I've eaten Chinese food ALL my life but I truly truly truly fail.. No, that sounds too harsh. I "barely pass" when it comes to Chinese cooking..

So.. what shall I serve the man of the house today?
