dear diary

It's a Saturday, I was up early, but lazed around since I was tired. Since I returned from the gym yesterday, I had been beat. Not sore but achy all over. And I still am.

Today the plan is to settle lunch for the boys at home and get going to the gym again today.

dear diary

It's 4am and I am still awake... I hear Ivan sneezing away in the second floor. So I go over and bring him up. He however is still very much awake, as I. I wonder if I am excited about hitting the gym today.

During the Hari Raya holiday, Merlin came over with the girls, and we got to talking about fitness. We picked up a brochure from AMORE but the prize was never shown.

On Thursday, I had an early day. It was Ivan's IEP meeting at 7.45am. I had to get up at 6.30am to get ready and get there in time. Due to the rush, I had to dash over in a cab. After a good meeting, I took the bus back to AMK. Once there, I had to run some errands. On the way out, I thought since I had time on my hands, I would check out the GYM there.

As the lady was talking, I knew that I didn't feel a peace, but I still wanted to get on with it. I hold on to the promise, that the Lord will fix all my mistakes. (so happy that I serve such a great God)

So I had already signed up and Merlin was on the way to sign up too. I was to start on Saturday but Merlin was too impatient, she wanted to start on Friday itself.

Since I had been up the whole night, I was thinking of cancelling our workout. But then I told myself that it was a start of something new, and I had to get up.

We reached Fitness First, and I went to get changed. We decided that we would hit the threadmill. I had never been on one, and asked for help. I started at grandma pace and progressed slowly. I must say that Merlin shocked me, she was really running her but off. But I knew that I was going to keep to my comfortable pace until I was ready.

I completed a 30min cycle on the threadmill. Holding onto the rail all the time, as I was afraid that I would fall off. After the workout, I kinda felt dizzy, and moved slow, to avoid creating a scene. We headed over to McDonald's for a very small breakfast. Then we departed.

I came home, took a shower and tried to sleep. my mind was simply just not shutting down, but the body was exhausted. It was all good I would say.








Catch Up Diary

It's been a while since I wrote...
Let's see, I have a new maid now, out with the old and in with the new. She much of a help.
I managed to get my wisdom tooth extracted, am doing much better now.

Notice that my parents are still doing the Tango (to sell or to rent their house). Even at a time like this they are so concerned for my sisters, accommodation.  Seriously!

Anyway, my sis called to meet for breakfast a couple of days ago. And its so like her to call when she needs something. True enough, she wanted to stay over that Friday, as her husband was going for a BBQ. So I am thinking, its okay, she is my sister after all. But get this, she informs me that she will arrive in the evening, to stay over.

My mum comes over in the morning itself, with a bag full of cooked meals for my sis. Whatever! I tell myself, I am just glad that I have moved so far away. I finally told myself that I was not going to be like before, accommodating everyone's schedule. I have a life too, I have plans too. So when Merlin invited me over on Saturday, I accepted the invitation.

I got up that morning, informed my sis that I had plans and she had to sort out her day. I guess, she wasn't too thrilled. She had planned to bum at my place until her husband was available. Well, if he is such an ass then he should look after his own wife. Loser, can't even sort out his life, but judges others around him. I hope my sis is happy with him, I just don't see it. But then again its her life, if the gay looking loser can make her happy then, I guess she made the right choice.

Anyhow, my patience are running thin with my family. Here I have my dad who is waiting for my husband to get home to ask for money. My mum who is caught up in the past fights that dont even involve her (so annoying). And my little sister, who only thinks about herself and only herself. All these year I was treated like a second fiddle, still nothing has changed, so its time for me to change.

dear diary- wisdom tooth extraction

Today, is the faithful day that I have yet another wisdom tooth extracted. I so dread this day. I rushed over to the dentist to get it done fast. However, upon reaching there, I find about five people there before me. Oh crap! The receptionist then tells me that I have to wait at least another hour. Since I have time to spare, I went over to Merlin's place. She needed to settle some forms for Fugro via email.

When it was already an hour, I headed off to the dentist. Merlin insisted that she and the girls accompanied me. She wanted to be there should I need someone. I was truly touched. I mean, a couple of people knew about my tooth extraction today, but only Merlin insisted on being there for me.
The girls were so sweet as they showed sympathy for me. I had to take the jab and wait some more. Merlin left with the girls as it was going to be there lunch pretty soon. I sat at the clinic feeling so nervous, I had already gone to the toilet twice. My heart was pounding so fast, I keep telling myself that I had to calm down. I needed to... how I wish my husband was here.

Merlin came back after a change of clothes, we were to go to the AMK HUB later to draw and transfer some money. I had settled the dentist and we were on our way. I helped her get her currency exchange and I left in a cab as the pain was progressing.

I came home, took my meds and slept awhile. Later that evening, I asked Immanuel to pick up dinner for me with the maid. I knew I had to stay away from the maid, as she would only increase anyone's blood pressure. I slept through and recovered.

dear diary

This morning, I got up pretty exhausted, after staying up for the Harper's Island marathon, with Immanuel. Ivan had school today, so I got him ready and he was off. I lingered as I got dressed for my daily duties. Just then, I recieved a call from Pat Schoolhouse. The principal, wanted to check regarding my medical. I decided that I would make some changes, with my plans for the day.

I had so much to do. I needed to buy Yasmin from the clinic, as it had been closed since Saturday. My hormones are all out of order. Then I needed to get down to Pat Schoolhouse to pick up the medical form. Then I needed to get the medical done, and then I needed to go down to Sembawang to get my mail. Peter had sent me am email today.

I headed out, to start this busy day. The clinic at Simon Place, was still closed!!! So I headed off to the next agenda, to pick up my medical papers. From there, I headed to AMK. Went down to Raffles Medical to get my health check done. As usual, peeing in a cup doesn't come easy.... so frustrating. After taking the tests, I headed off to AMK HUB. I walked around, weak headed. Bought some jackets from Cotton On for work.

I then headed off to Sembawang. Picked up my mail, and headed for my lunch, ayam penyet. I enjoyed a slow lunch and got my Yasmin from the clinic. Got my eyebrows shaped and drew out some cash. I was beat, I needed to head home. I took the train to AMK and then took a cab back home.

Later that evening, I received a very belated call from NCC. A lady called to inform me of the cell group that they have for parents of children with special needs. Overall it was a good day. I also heard from my sweetheart, via email.

I pray that it will be a greater day tomorrow.
