Weekend Getaway

We decided to be spontaneous last week… hence the trip to PD. I feel that the more we age, the more spontaneous we become…. yes? Mid life crisis!? (GBS, comment please!)

Last weekend Nik decided to ride to Avillion Admiral Cove, PD. I was thrilled. The furthest we’ve been was only to Cyberview, besides the usual trips to Starbucks Uptown or Taipan USJ for makan makan (what else?). The trips to Uptown were usually late night trips (because we just love to lepak lepak until Starbucks tutup... boleh?), and late because we wanted to avoid the traffic. Yes, traffic there is bad even on weekends … I wonder if the people there ever sleep…

Anyway, the plan was to leave in the morning so that we can have breakfast in PD … no rush and a bit relaxing… but when I woke up at 5am on that Saturday, it was drizzling. It drizzled the whole morning, so to kill the time, I decided to do some washing and cleaned the house while waiting for the rain to subside.

But the thing is, it never did… and the clock on the wall kept on ticking and it was already 10.30am… Patience has never been one of my virtues… heehee… so we left for PD anyhow. It was not that bad until we reached Seremban. It rained heavier so we stopped at Seremban Rest Area. I had nasi lemak and Nik had some kuih, despite my dripping wet jeans… hehehe... makan tetap makan… The jacket was fabulous because I was dry inside… thanks to Alpinestar.. hahaha

We left for PD about 1/2 hour later… and when we reached Avillion, it was close to 12 noon. We were lucky because it stopped raining when we were on PD Highway, but it was getting warmer (and HOTTER!) Nik was soaking wet by the time we reached the hotel – wet because he was sweating like mad. The hotel staff told us that the checking in time was only 2pm....and Nik went “whatttt?” hehehe. I looked at my watch and it was about 2 more hours to go… great! So slowly I ‘peeled off’ ..hehehe… my riding gear one by one and sat by the reception counter. Tired, wet and thirsty… I guess we looked so messy that suddenly the guy at the counter said… ok lah.. we can give you a room now…. Hahahahha so off to the room we went... and we spent the rest of the weekend having fun.. under the sun :)

** am having troubles uploading pictures, will continue later.

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...
Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
