Quotes by Oscar Wilde

People are either charming or tedious.

Quotes from Charlotte Bronte

When I pronounce French words, I seem to be talking to you.

Some Thought.

Is it just me or the day seems to be getting dull every moment?

Everyday, after sending the kids to school, I would be having my breakfast at Solaris. Toasted bread, scramble eggs and black coffee with my book.

Once I'm done with it, then off I go to work. I will be arriving around 8.15am to 8.20am.

I used to arrived at work between 7.30 am - 7.45am. Then I will be having my coffee in the office while browsing my emails. But after awhile I got bored. Totally bored with the routine and decided it will be more fun having breakfast outside. Plus the food in the office's canteen is terrible!!!!

They changed the caterer a year ago and initially the food is edible but recently after changing two cooks, the food has taken an overturn to horrible. Even a simple tea they make sometimes tasted funny.

They used to serve sandwiches, mostly tuna or egg with mayo. But now, even the bread is rarely available.
When they make scramble eggs, it tasted sweet and I wonder do they put sugar in it. And they they did!!!
Who would put sugar in their scramble egg? Or maybe this is a new style of cooking scramble egg, I wonder?.

I miss my sister!!!!

Exercise?

It wasn't easy...doing sit-up after a very long rest. I tried my very best. Starting last Friday, 100x in the evening. Didn't manage to do in the morning though due to times constraint.
Someone told me it is not good to do sit up at my age. Wow!!! it does makes me feel like I'm ancient. It is for good intention, I believe. To avoid any injuries. True but it made me feel like I want to hide under the duvet and never bother to exercise anymore at all.
Naaahhh!!! I can never hide under the duvet. Got too many things to do. The kids, the housechores, the officeworks, my life and the lists go on and on.

Options.....

My mind is wondering. Must have back up plan. I need to exercise. I cannot stop. The only thing I can think right now is :

1. Sit up 100x - am &pm
2. Swimming - in the process of enrolling my friends and I. Hopefully we can start this April
3. Elliptical exercise - been eyeing this equipment for sometimes. It cost about MYR4k ++ for Ogawa brand but this price is during sales !!!

My ankle still swollen a bit after 3 days. Wonder how long it takes to recover completely.

A Dream Within a Dream - Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand

How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!

O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Jumping Jack and Swollen Ankle

After two and half months, I have finally managed to squeeze in sometime to exercise. To convince my innerself this is what I must do in order to be healthy again. The long overdue task, my personal goal. Following the routine of kickboxing from an exercise dvd that I bought last year which I normally followed on weekly basis until there is a point of time where I'm down with fever for 4 days due to strenuous exercise and lack of rest.
There I go warming up before the cardio routine started. Stretching my body and getting ready for the heart pumping routine. Everything seems so good, all the steps are followed duly and I started sweating profusely and it feels healthy. After 30 min, suddenly I heard a sound and I found myself lying on the floor. I tripped while doing jumping jack and hurt my ankle. The pain is unbearable and immediately my thought flying to the freezer in the kitchen.
Nope I wasn't thinking about food!. I was thinking about getting ice cube for my ankle.
Ignoring the throbbing pain, I limped to the kitchen to get the ice and started dabbing it onto my ankle. It stings but I guess it work because next morning my ankle is not badly swollen and there is no bruises.
The only evidence that I have for the sprained ankle is a huge and round bump at my ankle. I can still walk but on a slow mode and I'm having difficulty to climb up or down the stairs.Off I went to see the doctor, he said, nothing is broken except for the torn muscle.
Lucky for me?....mmmmm maybe. Always look at the positive side. At least I can still walk and drive the car but no jumping for the time being.

Tears are the rinse water of an unhappy heart.

Going Healthy?

I was thinking of going for healthy breakfast. Hence when I saw this low fat mandarin orange and cranberry muffin, I couldn't help myself. Just look at the delicious texture and you can imagine yourself devouring it without adding any inches to your waist. Ok, I sound a bit dramatic but that's who I am. It does indeed taste excellent and I had it with a cup of hot tea. Excellent set for breakfast.

On top of that, I did bought this yumilicious mushroom melt for my lunch. Though it looks rather uninviting and tasteless, it does taste good. I will not mind going for another of it in the future.
