Why is it that whenever I have tons of assignments to do and purposefully load myself up with caffeine in preparation for burning the midnight oil just to make a measly USD80 (of which I am desperate for, mind you), my baby will undoubtedly decide to find every reason under the sun to stop me from working?
After not having worked out for almost 3 months, I had my first workout today. Needless to say, my body is ouch. I made a priority list today (after I saw how absolutely LARGE I was in the mirror! I have no more neck and that is quite serious…) that exercise shall be a priority. No more making excuses of not getting enough sleep, nor T2 being demanding and wanting me to carry her all the time (she’s just going to have to cry!!!), nor being busy with other things like cooking and cleaning……and ironing. Gosh!!! Ironing!!! It takes me 3 hours every week!!! I asked friends abroad (the blond ones) how they cope and they say they only iron an item the day it is going to be used. Gulp. Back to the drawing board. Shall I outsource? I was told it was RM1.50 per piece. Ouch! I cannot afford that! So for now, I’ve changed my mindset. Ironing is my new therapy…..in addition to shopping, of course.
I have a recurrent eye stye or whatever it is and it seems this has started since I started wearing some make up. Tonight, the eye is really bugging me as it keeps producing tears and makes my one eye all blurry. It is also itchy. Urgh.
I have an addiction to dessert. Seriously. I cannot go a single day without something sweet. How? I am considering hiring a personal trainer. At least then, I know I cannot waste my efforts. It’s RM120 per session. F%RK.
T2 still doesn’t sleep through the night. What is wrong with her?????!!!!!!!!!
My nose keeps dripping and dripping and dripping……drip-drip-drip…..
It’s 2.22am. Enough grumbling. Good things have been happening too. But I’ll save that for another day. It’s always better to let the shit out first……

outsource the hubs shirts.. the darnest thing to iron.. cotton long sleeves.. over at my place it’s 1.20. I hate ironing too n u know what ? I’ve found quick way to iron tshirts.. fold then iron.. not iron iron fold one side, iron iron, fold again (and in meantime cursing too !)
over 4.5 months without maid, i make do whateva i can. shortcut a bit here n there..
go see Dr Wong, pls !
tell yr hubs, Tangkak has VERY nice beef noodles.
hahhaaha.. you are so funny lar!
Ok, I stopped the ironing after my hubby thought wearing T-shirts to work is the best thing that could ever happened to him! So, I just wash, dry them and hang them except the occasional long sleeves shirts which he will iron himself when he’s in the hotel… 😛
Talking about turning into a pumpkin… I’m not too far from there too! After the Melbourne trip I have been ‘awarding’ myself a few pieces of Tim Tam a day! My hubby just complaint that I AM FAT! 😛
Oh yeah, I am without maid too so just do whatever I can… hehheehee
I think I was in the same lift with you in GE Mall yesterday. I wasn’t completely sure cause I only saw your side profile. Were you wearing a white blouse and carrying a LV Neverfull bag?
I am also trying to lose some weight. Now no more excuses of not going to the gym. H went to check out the personal trainer…aiyo! USD 700 for 24 sessions and they recommend 3 times per week. I told H that if I go religiously 3 times a week, sure will lose lah. No need to pay USD 700 to some bugger who is going to get on my nerves!
How about getting a part-timer to come in twice a week? Do all the heavy stuff like Mopping floors and cleaning toilets, and then ironing? 4 hours each time is waaaaaay sufficient.
