it has been quite a tough week for me. really… to get me out of my comfort zone and changing my lifestyle is something that I can’t imagine doing it.
but I had decided to just do it. after much reading and surveys done, I had determined to take up the detox program. I must insist that it is not a slimming program as I really do not believe in those but it's an intermediate detox program to assist your liver to clear the toxin that was kept in your body for too long and the best is you can do it in the comfort of your home. the turn down is to change my meal plan to have a better result. so since Monday, I had a pre-detox meal (just salad and soup). then came Wednesday, a public holiday for Hari Raya Qurban and my first day for my korban (meaning sacrifice in malay). it was quite easy for the first day with only fruits consumption and staying at home relaxing. but when it comes to the second and third day, reality hit me. so many temptations in the office (call for lunch from colleagues and friends) and the uneasy feeling of no warm food in the stomach. fourth day got me craving for hot and spicy food even though I can consume small amount of lightly stir fried vege and tofu. what more with my aunts in town and bringing them to savour asam laksa for lunch and curry fish head for dinner is really not helping at all…
today, marks my fifth day of detox also the day for my first long distance run after ditching it since secondary school. the run was quite a taxing one. 8km with 2 hiking trails up and downhill besides the normal connecting tar road. but I did it in 1.5 hours time. I would like to think that I had pushed myself to the max and it’s not bad of a result considering of my current form. yet, I insisted not having Milo nor 100plus even though it was much needed at that very moment at the finish line and the fact that it is just right in front of me :( but I failed at the breakfast session. I couldn’t find popiah at any of those stalls thus ordered fish ball noodle soup which I believe is the lightest meal of all the other stalls (I wanted beehoon but they didn’t have it so I was forced to take the oily kueyteow) and now I am having diarrhea. suspecting is the effect of the detox from cleansing of the oily consumption.
and tomorrow will be another full of temptations day in the office. but it will not bring me down because I can have hardboiled egg salad for lunch :P however to think of having to travel on the last day of my detox program got me quite worried. I do not want to screw up the whole program at the very ending point.
well… sometimes when the going gets tough, the tough get going. no doubt, all these out of comfort zone situations will definitely push you one step ahead. and believe me, it’s always about mind over matter.
so who's up for a curry noodle or tomyam noodle on wednesday lunch? :P

what goes around, comes around...
whenever I'm out late or 'early' (as in wee hours), mum will definitely call me to check on me. without fail, no matter I go out with who. and most of the time, I find it very annoying eventhough I understand they are just worried.
today, am home early as I can't join the jukari class and just being a good girl hanging out at home. I am now home alone with Shareen because mum has yoga class and dad has to work late. but at this hour, almost midnite and yet both of them are not home yet got me feeling very uneasy. so, I call to check on them. mum is still yumcha-ing with her yoga buddies and dad is having supper with his colleague.
well... talk about what comes around, goes around... I promise I will never be annoyed by those check-on-me call anymore :)

weekend comes, weekend goes…
although this weekend passes by so quickly, but it’s undeniably one of my most enjoyable weekend too.
got an impromptu invitation on Friday evening to join a halloween party. I was quite reluctant to join as I really didn’t want to make any effort to dress up, what more to dress up scarily. ended up I dressed up as a pirate slut. just because I have a pair of fish net stocking, a pirate hat and the one sided eye cover from my company d&d few years back. it was another crazy drink and crap session with those wackos…
the routine Saturday morning, all ready for a good sweat-out class. but this time was a bit dreadful as I could still feel the alcohol flowing in my blood veins (thanks to all the blood suckers :P). that aside, I want to announce something very important here(at least I think it’s important to me). I am now officially a bodypump intermediate-er. yes, my instructor had forced me to upgrade from the beginner 2.5kg to a 5kg and I pulled it through the whole class… woohoo… but now, my muscles still aching :( i guess, it's really no pain, no gain.
finally managed to meet up with Lai together with Adam for lunch. although it’s only merely a year knowing him, there’s this special friendship that makes me feel very comfortable with him. Lai… wish you all the best in New Zealand and enjoy yourself to the max. if time and money permits, I’ll come visit you next year ok… and we do bungee jump together… hehehe
as Rachel couldn’t make it for next Friday (dad’s exact birthday) so we had decided for an early celebration for dad’s upcoming 62nd birthday. dad requested for a western cuisine dinner but I didn’t want to go to the usual Victoria Station nor The Ship so I made the decision to head to the newly renovated Monte’s Restaurant at Bangsar Shopping Centre. one of my most satisfied dinner. not just because their escargots are real good (it was so good that we ordered 2 dozens of escargots), also seeing dad chewed all the meat off his lamb rack and mum almost licked clean her cheesy beef steak sandwich is my happiest moment that nite. I am glad they enjoyed the dinner so much. oh guess what, dad loves Dr Loosen too haha…
after a packed Saturday, today I slept all the way until 12pm. thanks to the sunday-serenity in the house and the excellent weather. I refuse to leave home due to the weather. no, don’t get me wrong… it’s not because it’s too hot that I do not want to go outdoor but the weather is so good that I just want to laze on my bed to finish up my Merde and just purely relax… it’s so rejuvenating after a good rest and the fact that it’s gonna be a 4 days work week, everything just feels so good…
yes, weekend came and weekend gone but the next weekend is coming soon anyway... and yet another short roadtrip with the regulars is what I’m looking forward to for next weekend :)
