The Ends.

Phew...finally, I can blog in peace. These past few weeks have been hectic and infected the seasonal syndrome of MLSB within me. In retro of the past fortnight, it has been a fortnight's of ending. First, is the end of the Harry Potter movie, for which I went against all odds to get into the cinema just to watch it. Man, I wasn't disappointed! I loved every bit of it (and I also loved the Captain America teaser in 3D...my hands itches to get on those strong shoulders! *drools*). It feels...bittersweet (the ending of Harry Potter, actually).

Then, there was Amy Winehouse's sudden passing. 

Then, at work, I was given another English Form 3 class and that marks the end of my 24 period classes. My P.E. class was given to another teacher. I feel slightly sad because I've bonded with the students and I've just bought new volleyball and basketball for them to play with. Not to mention the jogging around the school field company. I'm going to miss that.

Oh, one more. I've chopped my long hair to a bob. At school, on the first day of short hair, my students  came up with a nickname for me, Miss Melody because my hair looked like the heroine in Cinta Melodi. At first, it was very flattering. Then, it got a tad annoying. But now, I got so used to it but I won't turn my head to my students whenever they greeted me with "Good morning, Teacher Melody!!" until they call out my real name. Haha.

As cliched as it sounds, sometimes some good things must come to an end to make way for the new. 

 I wonder what's new for me?

Whatever it is, I hope it's all good. :-)

Amy...

I was so shocked to hear about Amy Winehouse's passing. She's one of my favourite artists and to me,despite her struggles with drugs and booze, she is an extremely talented musician. But like all greats that has gone before her, she is forever immortalised in her songs. 

Gone to soon, R.I.P Amy Winehouse.

Let's get physical!!

This week has been a week of physical health enlightenment for me. After living a half-sedentary life, my colleagues invited me to join a gym with them. Although I was a bit hesitant, my excitement over the prospect of having a healthy, toned body overruled my hesitance.

Day one of my workout starts with a total body workout. I thought it was going to be like a normal aerobics i.e. jump here, shake here, bla...blaa... Well, I was in for a surprise. Punya main tough workout dia!! I felt like I was the weakest link in the group because everyone seemed to finish all the reps but me, I stopped halfway. Panting my life out and I started to regret. I felt nauseous, my arms and legs are wobbling like jelly and seriously, I can't feel my arms. The trainer was so kind to advise me to do it slowly next time. Me and my friends sampai confused because of the sudden adrenaline rush XD But, a crazy thing happened...
I WANT TO DO THE ROUTINE AGAIN!!

If you are a gym-noob who have no idea about what is a total body workout, click here.

Day two, I went to work with sore arms, sore thighs, sore throat, sore head (hehehe...headache), in short, semualah sore. Mau berjalan pun terpaksa control sikit, mau sneeze pun mau tahan-tahan sakit. But since we are so enthusiastic to try the next routine, we valiantly went to the gym again. For the second day, we tried belly dancing. This is by-far the funnest exercise - EVER!! I loved it so much even though I was clueless, clumsy, has two left foot...I look forward to this one ;-)

Day three is a rest day. Thank God!!! Kepala sia pun sakit2 sudah. I got my mum worried about my blood pressure, sekali check tension headache ja...nasib....

Day four and five, sia exercise sendiri di rumah...hehehe

Day six...sia pegi jogging di kompleks...

So, how much I've lost? After six days of workout, I lost a centimetre of my waist. I know it's small but a little achievement goes a long way, right. My goal by the end of four weeks, I'd be able to fit into my jeans...and lose a dress size ;-)

Gambatte!!!

Weekend Song

I'm feeling much better already. My recent illness has attracted so many well-wishers from friends and also from curious people who were apparently "shocked" with my sudden disappearance from work. I wonder, should I be touched or should be dismayed by these curious wishers?biarlah..hehehe...

Have you ever heard of Najwa Mahiaddin? I only knew about this talented singer recently. From now onwards, she is going to be on my replay list together with Double Take, Train and Owl City (and many others, it's too many to mention!)

Nah, cuba kamu dengar ;-)

I guess that's all...Have a Great Weekend!!
