I have lots of pictures that I've saved for Wordless Wednesdays. Tapi selalu miss. Oh well.
How old were you when you first entered a karaoke joint? Me, when I was 21, I guess. It was at a hotel. With my dad! It was those open-karaoke places where you have to go on that small stage to sing. Horror tau but who was I to say no to my dad? (Nak cari pasal..?) Hehheh. But phew thank God all those pakcik-makcik audience complimented my duets with my dad. I don't like to be on any stage, small or big, but I think at that time there was some sort of army dinner event coming up so I had to perform a few songs (yes, forced by who else) so my dad dragged me to karaoke for 'training'.
Back to the main topic - I went to the karaoke joint at Alamanda Putrajaya today with Effie my sister..and my 4 kids. Yang paling terrer ialah Zuleyka. First time karaoke masa umur 3 1/2 tahun. Oh ya, my nearly 11 year old son can rap, apparently. Kena asah sikit lagi la tapi.
This karaoke place is kind of family-friendly..so okay lah.
Zuleyka's hair is getting more and more springy. *okay I don't know how to spell that*. Macam spring lah. The curls seem to get tighter and tighter. And The Mama only rajin to comb her hair twice a day, every time lepas mandi. She hates the comb. So just imagine me chasing her around trying to comb her hair (yes I sometimes malas and give-up, tak sikat pun takpe bila kering jadi spring balik). Tak berapa vogue but when you're a mom, you'll have to do a lot of non-vogue things that you never imagined you would have to do. Trust me.
Since coming back from our short holiday, laundry was never-ending. Well, actually, laundry has been never-ending since I had more than 2 kids (when I had a maid, even she couldn't cope). Ye lah, we don't chuck all clothes all at one in the machine, right? Must have categories, of course - kids, adults, undies (gentle cycle), sheets & blankets & towels, whites, handwashed items (shawls, some of my clothes).
Hmmm. Banyak pulak kategori. Tapi memang macam ni la kan? Err..kan..?
Anyway, I wanted to workout at the gym tonight but with the karaoke activity, buying some stuff at Alamanda while carrying a 16kg *more or less* sleeping lil girl, cooking, more laundry..nak drive pegi gym yang 5 minit dari rumah pun rasa malas. Penat. So I did an hour of workout at home. Kind of reminded me back in 2001 when I was back to work after my first maternity leave, I worked out at home almost every night. No matter how tired I was. More than once, I almost dozed off in the middle of doing tummy exercises! Tapi dalam macam nak pengsan kepenatan tu, it was worth it lah. All those 20kg++ gained during the pregnancy gone and I could fit into all my office clothes soon after :)
Actually, I gained a lot of weight during every pregnancy. The most was 25kg, the the least was 18kg. My body has gone through 4 times of 'weight yo-yo' so when friends ask me how I manage to lose all that weight every time, my standard answer will be, "Not.Easy". Why? Maybe I'll share some tips in another blog entry :)
Speaking of workout, I am in this phase of buying running & sports gear. I need to get out of this phase soon or else it will surely burn a bigger hole in my pocket. But so far I have no regrets on what I got..because I use them all. A few weeks ago I got this Adidas hoodie jacket. Proved to be a good purchase..so convenient when I have to make a quick stop anywhere nearby (macam beli roti ke susu anak ke) tapi malas sarung tudung. *oops* :)
