It might sound like an excuse but…oh wells *shrugs*🤷‍♀️

I actually drafted this post on the day of the event. But the owner of this fat fingers accidentally ‘select all’ > ‘delete’ this post *smacks head*. I was 95% done with the draft, so, can you imagine my disappointment?

If not, let me tell you, it took me three weeks later to re-type this. Bahahaha.

Three weekend ago, was a long Saturday for me, I started with sending Broski to the airport for his Hajj, followed by can’t remember going where, then played Badminton with Momski.

and this post…is the story of playing Badminton.

–

My dad’s an excellent Badminton player.

When I was a child, I remember going to the Town Council – where the Badminton court is – with my elder brother, cause there’s always something that my dad will forget to bring.

When he’s nice, he’ll let me seat at the back of the bicycle and cycle us there. Or, when he’s not feeling thaaaaat generous, he’ll cycle slowly while I walk… or skip. Hehe.

While the adults were in their own world at the court, my brother and I would take dad’s extra racquet and we’d play with each other for five minutes? Before my brother give up on me and chase me away for being untalented. Bahahaha. Clearly, patience runs in the family 😝.

We’d put our racquets away and he’ll either play his Chapteh or his soccer ball if he brought it along while his younger sister, me, would run around the backstage or just…dance on the stage. Bahahaha. *smacks head* 💃

I guess we started young.

In school, my brother played rugby, floorball and God knows whatever sports involving balls. For me, I was a dancer and cheerleader. Yup, wipe that tea that you just spit out of your mouth. HAHAHAHA. It’s true.

–

The very first time that I played Badminton with Momski, I started the game by serving the shuttlecock to her end, only to swing the air. That woman was so caught off guard that she fell to the floor while laughing.

How encouraging. She thought sportsmanship could be inherited genetically.😒🙄🤦‍♀️

But, with time, my motor skills got better. *flips racquet* I still can’t serve the shuttlecock bottom up but, one day, I’ll get there yall. 🤘

–

The first session I had this year, was three weeks ago, with her colleagues, who were waaaay older than me.

I paired up with the ace of the court, Mr Lim… Cause that way, he’ll get proper workout (BAHAHAHAHA) and we’d win – thanks to him of course. Not gonna be shameless and take the credit here.

Sincere apologies to Mrs Lim for splitting the couple. You guy’s would be undefeatable and that’d be no fun now would it.

After few rounds, more players turned up and well, I got benched. So yeah, GO MR AND MRS LIM!!! 💪💪💪

Sigh…

One day, like what is said on the racquet, I’ll be a Champion.

Your hair might already turn grey when that day comes, but, it will come. Giving up is not in my blood. Bahahaha.

–

As we all know, after working out, we need the right food and rest for our body.

Nothing…

a Kaya + Peanut Butter waffles can’t fix 🤤😋.

Oh, and also

some Fruit Tart.. y’know, to balance the diet. 😈🤦‍♀️

–

When the day that your hair has turn grey, and I still suck, it’s okay. Sometimes some things are just not meant to be.

I’ll just put on some other shoe (literally) and be useful elsewhere.

The studio that I’m placed at now, doesn’t have windows. Only few glass emergency exit doors.

Which means, only few chosen ones get to have that Vitamin D supply on a daily basis.

Of course, I’m not one of them. 😂.

Yesterday however, due to some rush in a big project, some of us were pulled over to help.

This one, of course, yours truly got selected. 💁

It was at the newer studio with nice open concept, lots of natural sunlight, so of course, this opportunist was more than happy to drag her desktop from one end of the mall to the other end.

I chose the vacant seat riiiight at the back and riiiighhhhhtt at the end. #maximisingoportunity.

It’s really not helping to see the iconic durian building when you’re craving for durian. 🙈 But luckily, it was facing my back.

It was nice tho, to experience something new. I could get use to this…

But of course, it’ll be so much nicer if only I didn’t have to stay back till 3am…on a Friday.

Like I said… It was a new studio which I’m not familiar with… Cant even find my way out. Bahahahaha.

Another long day out with friends today. Let’s hope I can last till night!

Have a good weekend errbadeh 😘

Last night, I spot a pretty big cockroach in the room and my spidy senses just went wild.

Looked around for something heavy enough to weigh it down yet light enough for me to pick it up and throw at it with one hand.

The only thing that was within my reach was my bedtime book.

and nope. It didn’t even get near the big brown bug. I guess getting rid of cockrach isn’t one of the hundred exercises for successful living. pfft.

All that effort … sigh…

Cockroach – Me. 1 – 0.

Irregardless, I slept well that night. Just a cockroach right? Shall not lose a wink of sleep over it. bahahaha. *flips duvet*.

Then!

Earlier!

As I finished my prayers, just chilling on the prayer mat, the big brown thug made its appearance.

Not. gonna. lose. twice. No. way. Jose.

Got up faster than you can say ‘Bolt’, grabbed a new-and-yet-to-finish-reading-thick-book-and-the-magazine-on-top-of-it-in-case-the-thick-book-isn’t-thick-enough and *blows nail* the rest is history.

I’m not done reading this book yet it has served so much… sigh, you brave thanggg.

💅 💅 💅

Don’t know how you’re feeling right now, but on this side of my world, I feel like a hero(ine).

Cockroach – Me. 1 – 1.

Yall can sleep in peace tonight. Cause tonight, there’s one less cockrach in this world. *wink*

With this heroic act, allow me to hit into slumber land. Till next post, Toodles!

Warning: Post is image heavy.

This post is one of my few ‘I don’t wanna post this cause I love it too much to share with others’, ‘I’m gonna delay this post for as long as I can cause it’s mine all mine and I wanna be a little selfish about it,’ or even just ‘Nope, I’m gonna print this in big size and hang it in the house/room so I can appreciate it right cause no one can appreciate this as much as I can 🤘’ category. Which is why there’s quite a bit of missing travel posts here. Hehe.

But I know I gotta share this first(!…travel posts can wait heh) cause it means a lot to me… and good things are meant to be shared.

On the 1st January, the 1st Sunday in 2017, I had a photoshoot with Ain. Which is why I thought, I should publish this post on a Sunday also. 😎 Albeit 10 Sundays later.

Cause I was bored and she wanted to take pictures of me with/in my heels.

I could just send her the pictures of my heels, really, but where’s the decency in there right? Bahahaha.  Tak senonoh!

Since it was the new year, I figured, ‘Hey! Why not try somewhere new?’

And that ‘new’ place, is non other than a forest. They called it garden but really, it’s a forest.

I’m about to let the pictures do the talking. But before I do, just wanna let you guys know that Ain put in a lot of (great) effort to make me look decent.

–

If this is not a forest, I don’t know what is. *shrugs*

–

My favourite part of this place is this guy…

Running barefeet all. 🙊 So much respect.😱

Waitttt! Don’t leave me! Train me!

Close enough I guess? 🙊🙊🙊

Phew! That was a workout guys. Bahaha

Let’s not forget… Ain’s favourite…

My heels 😂

Till next post, I guess this is how girls like me would look like if we enlist in the army. 🙈🐒

Oh and, can you imagine if I were to print my face(s) and put it in my room? OMG. NIGHTMARE YALL. HAHAHA.
