Weekly Blogger, Kids, Kevin Zahri..

I was looking at the dates of my previous postings and noticed that on average, (especially recently), I post an entry per week. I think I used to post more in the beginning of my blogging days, due to over-excitement to "fill-up" my blog. Tapi kadang-kadang banyak kerja (anak-anak, rumah & home-biz) yang buatkan blog tak ter-update seminggu lebih :(

But that's fine with me. After all, we should set our priorities. Rasa bersalah lah bila duduk depan laptop tapi Armand tarik-tarik mintak attention. Tak betul lah tu kan :P

Armand just loves The Papa's scrambler (he bought this secondhand, I guess to "upgrade" his weekend hobby..from mountain bike to motorcross..). I just found out that Armand can climb on and get off from the bike himself. Alahai takut terjatuh la.


..and some more recent photos of Three Boyz and One Girl...

The brothers trying to get Zuleyka's attention. I think they are secretly competing for the "Zuleyka's Fave Brother" title :)


When The Boyz wake up in the morning, they'll either look for The Papa or Zuleyka first..no looking for The Mama. I guess they just think that I'm at home all the time. Here's Amsyar and Zuleyka, dua-dua belum mandi lagi:


This was taken yesterday, about 6.30pm. The Papa plonked Zuleyka at the back of the family car so I called The Boyz too for a Kodak Moment. We just came back from a birthday celebration of the kids' second cousin, behind our house. Weekends, especially petang-petang macam ni...are usually the time for we neighbours to chat and catch up while the kids ride their bikes around the block:


This photo is not recent, it was taken a few months ago when The Papa first bought the tent. They, The Papa and The Boyz spent a few weekends sleeping in the front lawn. Of course I asked him to bring along a stand fan, electric ubat nyamuk..padahal kat garden tu je haa. They even brought a laptop (the Boyz were crazy with Need for Speed at that time)! One night it even rained..heavily!! Konon-konon macam camping betul la tu:


A few weeks ago I registered for Shape and Men's Health Night Run '09. Just the Fun Run and no-prize category of 5km. Being someone who only participated in 100m and 4x100m relay in school, this is a quite a distance for me. This morning my right leg ached a bit after my 4km run + 1km briskwalk yesterday. I told my husband, "Ye laa, I have never ran that long (i.e. did not stop) and that far IN MY LIFE". Hubby went, "Haaahhh??". "Betul! Paling jauh sblm ni, 2.5km (I think..). Itu requirement masa exam untuk sesiapa yang ambik ko-kurikulum sukan masa kat ITM dulu.". Tak percaya some more.

Since giving birth to Zuleyka, I only started exercising a bit about 2 months ago. Mula-mula dulu malas, so cuba lah Herbalife, GCL coffee etc..tapi takde shortcut lah. Exercise kena buat jugak. Last week, I made an appointment to see Kevin Zahri . I was googling around for the nearest gym to my house..then found him instead. I can't believe I've never heard of him before! And I even told him that *me feel so jakunz and katak bawah tempurung*

So I had a personal consultation with him on Wednesday. Having him directly explain to me about daily calorie intake, how much, what and when I should be eating, the difference between running for performance and losing weight...baru lah I faham. All these years of flipping through magazines, the internet but still struggling to understand (well, maybe i understood a bit while reading it but forgot about it the very next day)! The consultation came with a free copy of his book which has guidelines on our diet, training & exercising, supplements and food calorie guide.

By the way, before I went for the appointment, I emailed The Hubby these links. He texted me, "Wah wah apasal Kevin Zahri ni hensem sangat ni?". Kahkahkah!

All in all, this week was busy but fruitful *alhamdulillah*. Two companies requested for some samples of VIP doorgifts and VIP Ramadhan gifts. So not a lot of cooking done this week (I have many meal photos that I want to share..). I have another muffin gift basket delivery tomorrow *yaayyy because every time I ask my friend to make the muffins, I'll get a few extras for my kids..and myself!*. These are the pictures of the recent orders I received:

A good friend, Islah and her husband ordered these..thanks for the order, dear!

Head to Toe Herb Spa Bag ordered by Linda of MAMPU, for her boss. Thanks!!

Oh, hampir lupa!! I went to Pullman Putrajaya with two good friends of mine (ITM-mates) last weekend for lunch and just to chill out. The place is so cool and looks much better than pictures on their website. Very suitable for a family weekend trip (or weekday trip..). Check it out..! *sorry no pics, didn't bring my camera..but some pics are in my photos on Facebook*
