My First 5k Run

My first 5k run did not went well, it did not start or finish well ( I did not even finish sob .... sob ...) I really don't know how to explain nor do I want to at this present time BUT I do want to redeem myself in my next run ...... YES already planning for the next run since I know I can do 5k even if  I only walk most of the time.

Trip to Kota Kinabalu - Sabah !

On the last week of May, we got an extra day for the Weekend due to Wesak Day. Nurman and I went to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for my friend's wedding.

We almost miss our flight! (normal reason - woke up late, sleept late because we pack at the wee hours of the nite, my handphone was in the hall so I didn't hear it rang when the Taxi driver call us 11 times - we ask him to pick us up at 5.30am!, AND Nurman's alarm clock was not turn on ..... SIGH !!!) Anyway we woke-up "basuh muka - gosok gigi - salin baju" (mak's fav instruction everytime we are late, translated wash face, brush teeth and change clothes) and of we go to the LCCT. Praying on every km we will reached there on time and there was a flight delay. I guess lady luck was on our side, there wasn't a flight delay but the check-in process was slow due to a group of people on tour while their agents try to sort them out we check-in .... PHEW :-)

In KK we stay in Sutera Harbour Hotel and was pleasantly suprise when they upgraded our hotel room to a suite ..... The hotel suite was nicer then my house!! Clean, beautifully decorated, have view of the ocean and fresh flowers. While we there, we manage to do some sight seeing and snorkelling. Didn't buy any pearl though..... Everyone said it was cheap there but the one I saw was not exactly cheap. But then I never bought pearls before so don't know if it is really cheap over there. Without Along guidance in bargaining I was afraid of being dupe so decided against buying anything over there.

We went to my friend's wedding, went to the wrong hotel at first!My mistake I got the name of the hotel confused and remember the name of a wrong hotel. Anyway the wedding was beautiful, it was a beach theme wedding. Got to meet my old Chermai Jaya friends. It has been a while since I last saw they all. Perpetua (the one who was getting married) was the only one I really stay in touch with.

All in all the trip was a fun but it was to short and hectic. I need to plan these trips more carefully and no more early hour flights please .......

Night Out Siblings

Health Conscious Choice ! That was the tagline of the Vietnamese restaurant me, Tina and arif (my siblings) went for dinner.

This is when Mak went back to Pontian for a cousin's daughther wedding (hmmm don't think she were missing us much with all the gossips she manage to store for us hehehe)

Anyway the steamboat we had was for 3 to 4 people. Biasalah .. had to go for more rather than the 2 to 3 people set, we were really .... really hungry. One of us even wanted order extra fried rice but I won't mention his name ....... hahaha

The soup was blah ... but then I never really like clear soup. Tina and Arif didn't complain much only that the service is slow. We didn't even get the second drinks we ordered.

CHICKEN RICE

Last Sunday, I decided to cook Chicken Rice, and it has been a while since I cook anything. There is no fun cooking for 2 and you have to clean afterwards lazy ... lazy .... lazy

Anyway check out my chicken, it is to much for 3 people (Tina, Arif and me) I know, but cooking 1/2 a chicken will not get the same effect. Hehehe because some time that day I already decided to send the pictures of what I cook to Along (phew!!!!.... nasib it turn out right ......)

The whole spread of our dinner last Sunday . I also stir fry some vegies to accompany the Chicken Rice..... YUMMY.....

As desert, I serve chocolate cake white vanilla ice-cream topping (inspired by Nigella - The Cooking Goddest)..... I baked my own cake using one of the recipe i found in one Along's cook books.

My Make-up Bag

At Along's request , I am showing off my pink make-up bag . I saw the need of the bag when Along went to Miri with ALL my supply of free make-up (so sad ... why Along ...... why ....) Anyway as you can see, top part of the bag I put my lipsticks, lip liner, eye liner and mascara.

I just bought some new lipsticks from Dior coz I love one of Along's ...... its pink + purplish colour. I also bought a Dior lipbalm (stupid !!!!!! I blame the salesgirl)

Anyway, these a re some item I put in the lower part of the bag. Just your basic everyday stuff, foundation, loose powder and eyeshadow.

Angah Found My Blog

Hmmm .... so Angah found my blog ... was hoping no one did so I do not need to actually write anything and it will all go away. So now after being discovered I have to think of something interesting to write on my blog ............... (Ssssiiiiggghhhh) Things I do for family .......

This weekend I watched Sherlock Holmes (the Guy Richie version). I like the movie, would definately recommend people to watch it and I would watch it again. Over all I gave it a 3 1/2 STAR.

So there .... Its a start ....
