Yoga and Pilates

I don’t exercise much after being a mom, so I drag myself for yoga class at least once a week to maintain my posture and body curve. Yes, I’m very curve, not those skinny type, ok? And I don’t go on diet, but just watch what I’m eating when I gain weight.

So, why I go for yoga and pilates class? Well, I took the class years ago, before I got pregnant. Then I stopped when I was pregnant and gave birth to Justin, and I continued back again. After that, I stopped for Isabelle. And continued again 3 months later. Actually, you don’t have to stop yoga class if you are pregnant, but you need to inform the instructor about it, so that you will be doing exercise like yoga for pregnant mommies.

I took the class to improve my backache that I got after my first pregnancy. It’s really getting better after practicing yoga, even if I’m doing it on and off. On top of that, it enhances my flexibility and improves my stamina. Besides, I hate gyms, so yoga works for me.

So, see the pictures below? Go guess which one is me……..

Ok, I’m here lah……

Car = Babe

I don’t have a car, and I’m driving hubby’s Ranger right now. Well, it looks something like the one above…. Same colour too!

If you ask me why I drive such a big car, the reason is, I like big cars. They make me feel safer driving on the road, as long as I don’t have to park them! LOL! It’s not easy to park a truck, so don’t complain if I occupied 2 parking spaces ok? I will try to be back from whatever I’m doing ASAP.

The other thing why hubby bought this car is he needs to carry goods for customers some times, and a pickup truck is more convenient. If the space is not enough, you can also add ladder rack.

So, this baby is beauty in my hubby’s eyes. Mine is Nissan Murano. Anyone wants to sponsor me one or not?

Get the Mouse!

If you come to my house now, it’s nothing much but messy, messy and messy. Things are scattered around everywhere as my maid is trying to catch a mouse in the house. She moved out all the luggages from the storeroom to check if the mouse is hiding in there. She could find it there, but both of us were taken aback from the number of luggages MIL kept in the storeroom!

Some of them are really old and wore off, so I told my maid to donate them away. But there is one Samsonite luggage which looks almost as good as new, after some cleaning up. It really looks more durable and long lasting comparing to the rest.

That’s why it’s better to invest in quality, but not cheap stuffs that can’t withstand the test of time.

If I Have a House

If I have my house next time, I surely want to have a big garden in Bali style. Then I will place some teak outdoor furniture at the parlor so that I can sip my afternoon coffee and blog from my laptop. Wah! Doesn’t this sound nice?

Furthermore, if it comes with red cushion, I will be screaming in delight! Maybe I watched too much Desperate Housewife where the actresses will have afternoon tea, chit-chatting and gossip on each other’s garden bench, that’s why I have fantasy about it. I want to have some girl friends over to my parlor too!

Ah…..can’t wait to have my own house!

Hair Loss

I went for a hair wash at the salon just now. The hair dresser said that since I have such fine and scarce hair, I better take good care of it as a minor hair loss will make me look bald! OMG! That’s nightmare!

How can I look pretty if I’m bald? Yes, there are lots of wigs but what if the wind is too strong one day and my wig is blown off? That’s very embarrassing!

Gee….I would go for hair transplant, definitely! My mom was on wig when she lost her hair due to chemotherapy. Even if she looks nice in wigs, but deep now inside, I knew she minded a lot about her look. So, I guess I will be the same too.

Better get consultation from New York hair transplants to get the hair back!

Plastic Surgery

I’m very open to plastic surgery. When I’m in my forties, and if I look really old, I will go for one. I have a friend who did double eyelid surgery years ago, and she told me all about the clinic in KL. We even joked about going together some day to get a face lift or eye lift. :P

However, there isn’t many choices of plastic surgery clinics in our country huh? If you are from the states, you can find plenty more, like New Jersey plastic surgery that offers lots of services.

But then, I have to got the money first before I can “buy” myself a youthful look.

Shopping for Hubby

I love shopping for my family. Most of the time, I prefer to shop alone, including clothes for hubby. I know his sizes for T-shirts, shirts, pants, and even shoes. So far, I made perfect choices of clothes for him, or he is just too easy going with my purchase!It’s time to get him some casual wears as some of his T-shirts are too old. He likes collar T-shirts as he plays golf a lot, but I will try to get some normal Ts too, like those from ed hardy clothing. He has nice body, so he will definitely look good in this….

Besides, he will look so much younger in it!

Nicely Decorated Themed Restaurant

When I’m eating out, I don’t just emphasize on the food. I like checking out the interior decoration of the restaurants as well. I like quiet and comfortable ambient that relax my mind when I’m dining there. That’s why I prefer western food at special occasion, as most Chinese restaurant is really noisy and full of bustle, even if you are dining in a room. The atmosphere is just not quite right.

If I’m going to San Diego one day, I will definitely check out those lovely San Diego restaurants that not only serve good food, but they are great vibes of relaxing ambient too. Mmm…got to go make more money for the trip!

Building Better Communities

In my opinion, beauty is not only about one’s appearance only. I think beauty includes a person’s characteristic, selflessness, willing to commit to society and etc. Just like George Lindemann Jr who is one of the committee members of Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC), that monitors the progress of building better communities bond program. This program includes:

  • Parks, Recreation and Green Space,
  • Culture and Education
  • Community and Neighborhood
  • Public Safety
  • Infrastructure
  • Healthcare
  • Business Development

These members are dedicated individuals who are willing to contribute to improve the livings of local communities. Their way of giving back to society is a special kind of true beauty too.
