Ramadhan Mubarak

selamat berpuasa everybodeh.

i've freezed my gym membership to give way for puasa and ramadhan. last year i didnt, coming in only for yoga and pilates. this time tho, since i knw i'll be around longer i can afford to freeze gym time =)

daus randomly asked for my banana and sour cream cupcakes. i've forgotten all about them! but now that he's mentioned it, i'm actually craving for some! so thanx to him, i need to find the recipe (or similar to it) somewhere online so i can make some. if menjadi, then insyaAllah shall give him some. kesian jua org craving wah! hehe lgipun its puasa so yea.

i had a long day out doing chores ystrdy, most of it accompanying a brother buy stuff before he flies off to study in UK for the first time. and i did something which i am quite proud of too, and which i consider quite a difficult feat.. namely get four brothers decide on their cara melayu colour (because now they dont want to wear the same colour.. so imagine choosing 6 different shades of blue and making sure none of them has the shade sudah!), buy the kain and terus potong at tailor. all in one day. during puasa. i mean, 2 of them are forever complaining of fatigue bcoz of puasa and all 4 are indecisive as h*ll. so to make all of them choose a colour and terus potong is no mean feat. banaaarrr.

speaking of tailors and baju raya.. (and i had to go thru my past 2 posts to check if i mentioned anything last time, and i havent done so at all)

i'll start from the top.

i came back from uk thinking it'll be too late to make baju raya. my tailor from last year already refuses to take new orders and to top it off, i havent bought kain so kalau kan buat emergency pun, mesti pilih kain dulu. plus i was quarantined, so kan jln bali kain pun susah! so twas quite a dilemma to be in! first time back for raya for over a week and i had no baju at all!!

long story short, thanx to shopaholic mj for giving me access to gorgeous kain. i tink i got about 6 pairs from them.. 3 for my mum, of course! then iman found me a tailor.. so managed to potong baju raya as well! the new tailor is so nice and accomodating too.. so much so that when i went kain cuci mata with bf, te bali lgi kain because i knew the tailor wud still accept! hehe. and she did when i antared the kain ystrdy. so yayyyyy! as of now, me gots meself 3 baju rayas and the sole one i made last year has only been worn twice, so will suffice for this year's as well.

funny how baju raya can make me happy.

anyhoo, till next post. jaga puasa =)

much love

gyming

first day back at the gym ystrdy. did circuit training and yogalates.

as the day wore on, my arms and legs became sore. woke up this morning to pain.

no pain no gain tho. so i dragged myelf up and into steps class, followed by pilates. usually i go on the treadmill b4 class, but today i reli cudnt. steps was bearable.. but pilates was pain. had to stop every now and then.

now i cant feel my arms.

on a happier note, its good to be back at the gym!

much love,

change

obvs been out and about, hence lacking in updates. been uber busy running errands, specifically the ones involving MOE, reporting back and watnot. also been driving brothers around.. and hitting tiangs.

i kid i kid. i only hit ONE tiang so far. anyway, been coming over to mamacits a lot as well which equals to cupcakes which equals to size 4 jeans being a helluva pain to put on =(

first day out from quarantine and i managed to stop over at the gym hehe. met rose, my trainer, who is sadly leaving by the end of this month =( talked abt renewing membership and watnot.. and i found out that every trainer i knew is gone bar one.

regardless, i've signed and paid for the gym. used up my last hundred too hehe but i havent been able to shed this last stubborn kilo from the holiday weight gain and i am determine to let that go! i knw everyone i see lately says i've lost (more) weight and they havent seen me in yonks but i tink i trust my jeans waistline more. plus plus when i met rose she didnt say anything about weight gain/loss.. which means she was being nice about my weight gain.

prior to all this gym hoopla, i go jogging at tasek. it was bearable to say the least but mang oh mang the weather is HAWT. also parking was a bitch to find haha. at least at the gym i get parking easily, its air conditioned, can watch tv while running and i get water if i forget my water bottle.

oh also i get a locker so i dont need to worry abt car keys jiggling in my pocket/hand.

i havent started going tho. baru jua tdi dpt the card. will start tomoro so expect my next posts to be about classes, trainers and the gist of going to the gym!

much love,
be'ah xoxo
