My First Rented Car

I was driving this car for a week before I went back to KL. Very light handling, spacious, in short, a very decent & comfortable car. But I'm a girl. Choosing a car is by how good she looks in the car, anything else about the car, I dunno loh... hehehe.... Seriously, I do not look "fetching" in this car. Sooo... what I did?

This is the car I'm driving now. Looks cool in the picture (and I look quite good driving it too... HIAKS!)... but not impressed at all and they call it "Impreza". Car handling needs improvement especially when turning corners. Mind you, I was NOT driving like a reckless mad woman on a hissy fit, alright. ;-p

By the time K arrives, we'll decided on a car to buy. I'm pretty sure Mr. Nut will be putting up the large (and rainbow coloured ;-) ) banners to support the Honda Civic. I kinda look quite good in a Honda Civic too... hmmm... ponder...

My First Experience of a Long Distance Relationship

First of all let me just say that me and relationships never hit it off. Besides this current relationship (now can considered legally married..) I had only one previous serious relationship. I'm not kidding anyone. No experience lar, to cut the story short :-p

I'm very certain LDR (long distance relationship) can NEVER work for me. I was prepared to end this relationship before I moved to Aust... erm.. more like I actually tried to end it. I could not hold on to a relationship without the physical touch or a nice warm hug. I can't hug my heater for crying out loud just to feel the warmth ! Hehehe....

Here I am now, going through a so call LDR. He is not coming here till end of next month. And if he were to spend his last few opportunities to hang out his KL-mates. I'll be looking at September for his arrival. Hence, approximately in total, 4 months of LDR. I know it's pathatic compared to some friends who had experience a much longer term. But this is me, I can't bear with it. Yes I'm impatient, I'm not afraid to admit :-p

I just don't know how can anyone sustain a mental focus with a constant plague of a feeling, longing for your other half. It's KILLING me right now !!!

Technology, to get "in touch" with someone is just a phone call away or a buzz on the instant messenger. But is this enough? There's still an emptiness. Just walking along the beach or the shopping mall, I see a very loving couple walk pass, I felt so sad. I have been trying to be patient. With every ounce of effort I put in just to control the thought of being without my other half, there comes some one, be it my closes pal or a colleague reminding me of him. This so tough.

Some friends advised it's just a matter of time till I get used to it. Get used to the feeling of being away from your partner. Well... I can say that the process of getting there is blardi difficult.

If fate has been twisted... coming to Aust alone, after the end of this relationship, the situation would be different... I think... I hope... probably the feeling would be channel to missing my family & my lovable doggies... hmmm... can I bring Yury over here? She would love the beach, I'm quite sure she would... ponder.... I shall check out the procedures these few days :-)

My First Emotional Ranting

Have been rather difficult to control my emotions for the past few days since arriving back here. I really miss my family, my darling, my home and my friends. I thought I would be strong, able to detach any such weakness. I thought I could be realistic, rational & practical. My heart is over-powering my mind now. I feel like fighting a battle.

Never knew, by just reading a sweet email, I could feel so touched. What happen to me? The only thing I could do is pray to be strong. I'm alone here. No shoulder to cry on. Nobody to give me hug and tell me everything will be ok.

Need to work off the blues. Feel so much better after today's gym session. Will be going more frequent. Next to try out... boxing, BodyAttack & aquarobics :-)

My First RPM Class

I did RPM18 today. It was nice, familiar music, heavy beats, instructor was motivating, everything was good except for my blardi bike. It was squeaking. Was so irritated, changed my bike half way through the class. Guess what, the next bike was just as bad ! The class was not as popular as the free-spin classes. I was rather amused when the instructor gave the participant the signal to go full speed. Practically all the members were bouncing on the bike. Before the class the instructor even promoted a gel seat cover to protect her bum-bum ! Also it was a rare occasion here that I actually sweat even though the fans in the studio were on full blast.. It's winter now, unbelievably cold.

The class was rather distracted. Just next to the cycling studio is the main hall, BodyJam class was on-going. And separating the 2 studios is a heavily tinted glass wall. So when participants were taking a break, they would turn their head to check out what was happening next door (probably trying to catch any eye-candies). I even caught myself several times looking the other way... hehehe...

After RPM, went for BodyPump. At last, a decent instructor on stage, enjoyed the class. Or probably because I "SS" as the mirror was right in front of me and I added on more weights compared to what I normally carry. ;-p Suddenly an image flash across my mind... me in my wedding gown next year, an ellegent attire covering a very lean & muscular bod with no boobs... HIAKS! *gasp* I would look like a drag queen in my wedding picture ;-p

***************************************************

Dear God,
I really need a PT. I need to look awesome next year. With the amount of milk, cheese and can food that I'm consuming, I would end up like a pig by next year. I need also to find inspiration to cook. I suck in this department.

Promise I'll be a good girl. Please answer my prayers.

Praying hard,
Lynn

My First Journey Back Home

Where have I been? 17days no blog...

I went went back home, home sweet home. I never knew how much I miss my home, family and friends after being away for 2 months. Now where am I blogging ? Kris Flyer Lounge flying back to Aust tonite! Sipping champagne & wine, getting tipsy and sleepy too ;-p

I missed home so much, spent every dinner at home with family, played with Yury & Max, got them new toys from Aust :-) And of course the main event during this holiday break is.... my marriage registeration.... Yes, I got legally married. Can't believe myself. I never knew I would get attached and now married. 5 months of "whirlwind dating". And NOOOO! I'm not pregnant!!! It's not a shot-gun marriage. Though I gain weight, it's from the lifestyle change not getting pregnant !!! Picture will be up soon when I get hold of them ;-p

I'm now having a pang of emotion. A mixture of emptiness, loneliness, sadness... result... feel like crying. I would only be back next year. And that's for the wedding banquet. By then I would not have time for family too. Leaving the family nest is so tough. Back home I never thought I was close to my family, always a wandering soul, coming home late at night and would get to listen to my mom sing her usual song (nagging...)

What else have I been doing for the whole week? Furniture & electrical goods shopping. It's not as easy as I've imagine. Complication expecially when the home is to be shared with a husband... :-p All of my entire life untill now, I've been living with my parents. So this kind of shopping would never, ever, cross my mind. Spent a small fortune on this stuff !

After a week sniffing my home-ground, flew to Singapore for training for a couple of days. Had a very small preview of how a married couple spent time together ;-) (frankly speaking... it's like dating... hehehe)

Oh, almost forgotten, had a really nice romantic dinner at Top of The M, Meritus Mandrin Hotel. The view is really scenic, I'm not suprised that there were plenty of marriage proposal carried out at this place. The romantic feeling didn't really last, stop abruptly in fact, when the bill came. I took the tab coz we were celebrating his belated birthday. My first time spending on a romantic date actually (unbelievably expensive date if I was earning MYR), outside the norm for a change :-p

Met up with some old buddies in Singapore & relatives. Had a good "catch-up" time, but the night have to end as it's a working day the next morning... sigh...

Didn't know it's so easy, I managed to pick up my wedding gown while in Singapore. Something simple and inexpensive. When the time comes, the picture will be uploaded ;-p

My First Movie with My First Happy Fren

Transformers was the movie. Blardi Good !!! I don't mind watching it again but forking out another A$15, I rather not. Guess what guys, it's free-seating here. We went in early (kiasu ;-p) and crashed our behinds in the best available spot... hehehe... Transformers is my all time favourite cartoon during my childhood days. You should be able to guess my age by now :-)

Smack right in front of the cinema after the movie was a Proton Gen2 !!! Quickly whipped out my phone. RpmNut this picture is for you. The car is the same colour as your's !!!

Normally, back home after movie with the usual suspects, we would head to the mamak for supper. I didn't expect this routine to be following suit and I was rather surprised that there were restaurants open at such wee-hours here... a Chinese Restaurant :-p

Saturday, My First House Cleaning Day

In the morning went to the gym. Had my first experience of a spinning class. This class is so different compared to rpm. Cadence to the music is na-da, nothing to pace myself on, just hearing the instructor say "turn it up" like bazillion times during the class. Then went for BodyBalance, instructor played one of my favourite releases. I didn't know how much I actually missed this class until I attended it after a LONG break.

Got home and start my dreaded house work. It's a practise here when tenants moves out of their premises, the place has to be professionally cleaned. Hence, my flat is nicely cleaned when I move in and a good excuse for me to delay house work ;-p I hate to admit it, back home I hardly do any house work, got maid maaa... and she is amazingly reliable. My whole family can totally depend on her.

Took my own sweet time, cleaned every corner of the flat up to doing laundry & ironing. Was poof-ed at the end of the day. Didn't want to cook, grabbed a quick bite & went grocery shopping. When I got home, switch on my notebook to do some net surfing.. ARGH!!!!! My brand new wireless modem is not working. I'm able to blog now after the service provider changed it.

Had a nice chat with my landlord today, Mr. Tai and his wife, Yen, Vietnamese family. Their only son has moved out to enjoy university life. They are really nice and friendly people. Probably they took pity looking at my living condition right now, they loaned me a computer & dining table, a stool and allow me to use their washing machine... *phew* Hand washing a whole load of laundry is really harsh on the hands (I was just trying to save some $$)... ok ok... I'm quite a princess (and stingy). This will change soon enough when life moves on here without mom & dad taking care of me. I'm growing up !!! hehehe... a late start hor... :-p
