1st Week of 2009!

I am currently on board MH727 - heading to Jakarta (34,000 feet above sea level, at the speed of 800km/h)

You must have wondered, how can I possibly have internet connection in the air? Hehe...I am writing this in my Notepad. By the time you are reading this, I have checked into the hotel and hooked on to the broadband internet access in the hotel to get this entry posted.

First week of the year has been fantastic. I started my Sunday with 1 hour non-stop running at Kelana Jaya Lake Garden at 8.30am with a few gym buddies (it covers approximately >6km). Part of the reason for us doing this is because we have registered for 20km Marathon (organised by Great Eastern) on 18 Jan 09. {10 days from now}

Upon completing the run, we rewarded ourself with nice Malaysian breakfast - Nasi Lemak at Village Park, Uptown (They are really well known of the Nasi Lemak and seriously, it is DeLiciOus!!)

We took some rest after that and continue with another set of workout at the gym - RPM!!! @ Fitness First, The Curve. We had another crazy calories burning session. Hahaha!

With the heavy and sinful breakfast we had, we decided to go for something more refreshing - Noodle Soup (Vietnamese) -- Errr...can't remember how to spell the restaurant's name. :P We played "TABOO" after out lunch at the restaurant until evening...Planned to go for a movie but could not find any nice movie at the right timing...Hence, we asked ourself, "WHAT CAN WE DO WITH RM10?" Blink blink! We thought of Bowling!! And there we go! We went to One Utama and had 1 Game!

It was still early to call it a day at that time. As you may know, bowling ally and GSC cinema is just next to each other at One Utama. So, we took a look at the movie schedules again and went for a movie - "Diary of the Dead". Honestly speaking, it wasn't a pleasant movie to end the day with. The quality of the movie was horrible! If you have watched "Cloverfield/Quarantine" last year, you will know what I mean. They falls under the same poor category. So, please don't waste your money! I went home with headache :S

Back to work in office on Monday!!! and Tuesday and Wednesday ...and on and on....nothing exciting but just WORK WORK WORK! Afterall, it is still a fulfilling week because rushing for work completion and travelling from one city to another in a week can be tiring yet exciting!

Small Win to Celebrate

Finn woke me up this morning instead of me doing so for him. He has been waking up feeling lousy and would whine non stop during school days..he would not stop until I started scolding him. Last night I prep him and put him to bed earlier than keith (rather than waiting for Keith to pack his bags). I managed to pat him and he slept at 10.15pm (not early but it seems enough). Right before he sleeps, I asked him to promise not to whine when he wakes up and he did well. He woke me up instead. He came to me and said, mommy….i want to wake up already….

Mini Lobsters I ate in Shanghai!

My job required me to travel very frequently to Shanghai last year. Somewhere during the 2nd half of the year, mini lobster has become our favorite. We will walk all the way to the stores and order few kilos of the fried mini lobsters each time. Recently, I received an email from a friend of mine reminding the danger of eating this mini creature! Please be alert of this food item... It may infect your lung. Do not eat these mini lobsters.These mini crustaceans are literally the garbage cleaners in the sewage treatment plants. The 'dirtier' the water, the fatter these mini lobsters become.Their lungs are full of worms and their flesh saturated with poisonous metals.Unscrupulous merchants somehow found a way to get these marketed to eateries. Do not order this dish. Pass this to those friends who may want to try these mini 'lobsters'. Even with this email, i think it is still worth it to try coz it is niceeee!!! And you do not get to eat them all year long! A kilo of thi
