Busy as a bee….

I had a fulfilling weekend! The longer my weekend is the tougher it is for me to face Mondays. My normal mornings would consist of me lazing around for additional minutes after the alarm clock goes off and me asking myself, do I need to go to work today??? That is when my 'things to do list' sets in and I have no choice but to get my butt out of bed. Damn, this happens every morning.

Saturday morning is my favorite time of the week where I get to accompany my sis and her little one to her tumble tots session. So last Saturday, I had fun with the kids and was even contemplating on joining the center as a part time assistant :D Sanggup! Unfortunately they only have openings for weekdays and not weekends. My sis’s little one is only 14 months, but she likes to dance, giggle, run and scream. So I guess it was a good thing that my sis decided to send her to the tumble tots sessions. My sis will normally dress her up in the uniform with a little knapsack hung at her back. You should see her, it is as though she is marching to school. She gets all excited when she sees all her little friends running around. I just love to be around children as they always have something cute to say or do. Their antics will definitely make me laugh my lungs out. Nothing beats spending my mornings with happy kids. Food for the soul!

After tumble tots, we checked out Celebrity Fitness, which was also located on the same floor. I like the concept of the fitness gym, the aerobics instructors are from Brazil. They provide all types of classes i.e the body combat, kickboxing, steps, yoga, pilates etc with attractive Shower/Sauna/Steam rooms. Looking at the Celebrity Fitness and its concept, I would surely recommend it to my friends.

As for breakfast, we decided to have an all sisters breakfast at “Village Park Restaurant” in Uptown. This particular restaurant was featured in Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan with Daniel, the winner of last year’s American Idol. A friend of mine introduced it to me many years ago and till now I keep coming back for more. Well, I was already craving for their toasted kaya bread, half boiled eggs and the air kopi dinosaur so as soon as I got there I didn’t waste my time and went with the food attack!
****************************************************************
On Sunday, I went back kampung to visit my aunt for a while. She looks very much better and stronger. She no longer has that frail and weak look. But she can’t walk without the “walker” just yet. I am sure after a little bit more of exercising she will be back walking and running. Before she had a severe heart attack, she single handedly attended to her toddler grandson and how old is she, 68??!! Hopefully after what she has gone through, her children should let her rest and enjoy her precious life.

Oh and all those talk of dim sum, made me all hungry and I went marching to the Chi Dim Sum Café in Giant with my family. I had the wantan soup, mushroom dumplings, prawn dumplings and the sesame balls. That will cover my dim sum craving for a month or so. Hopefully!

Talking about food, I better get going or there goes my nasi lemak for today...Happy working people!
