My Saturday & Sunday

Saturday : 5th. April 2014

Saturday lunch :-)

Sunday : 6th April 2014

Sunday lunch..a treat from a good friend...hehe..

:-)

A fresh start.

Into the second day of year 2014 and not only saying "bye" to days in 2013, but also to the old work place.

November and December had been a different busy months..apart from welcoming family members from home, entertaining a good friend and her son from Kuching that I had not seen for many years followed by many reunions with our other friends, I had been busy with packing as our office moved to a different location.

Bye to the old work place.

Phew...it was hard work going through recent documents and also ones that were more than 10 years, my body ache all over and its not completely done though we had moved by year end. Luckily the new office is nearby (more importantly still near my home...hehehe...).

A new one still not set up when this was taken on 31.12.13.....hope for a better environment. 

Have yet to finish unpacking, hope by next week could start work properly.

and wish I could go to a good spa for a bit of pampering. :-D.

Anyway, one of my aims for new year is to lose some (ehem..) weight, but so far I have failed...hahaha...,

Not all for me thou, bought these for a little celebration for a friend's birthday.

mmmmmm.....  :-D

Hope for a stronger will.....hehehe..

1.1.14 ~ New year and new school term started in some states and for my lovely nieces...wishing them a successful and great year.....,


..hope they'll enjoy their school days, especially to my youngest niece who is in standard 1 this year.

Hope everyone have had a great start.

mmmm....so many hopes...,

:-)

"Great escape to...."

..my hometown.. :-)

Taking a few days off for a bit of TLC, bit of fun and spent time this afternoon cooking...another of my favourite "de-stress" activity.

Cooked this "Laksa Johor" that mum had second helpings both during lunch and dinner just now...and I feel good...hehehe..

:-)

Eating session (2)...and walkathon

This was a potluck do and we had variety of food contributed by the friends who turned up

I guess I'd over indulged myself especially with the cakes, ice-creams, trifle, apple crumble etc...hehe..

However before the desserts were served, we had the chance to reduce a bit of the "kgs" gained earlier...a Walkathon was organised after the 'Asr prayer.

Odd one out  :-D

However I cheated, had a leisure walk, did some short cuts, took out my compact digital camera and did some photography instead...hehehe...

Peeping at some friends who joined the walkathon...haha

I returned to the house and became the first to "finish" the walkathon, but of course I was disqualified and didn't win the prizes...hahaha...

Had a pleasant time with great friends.

:-)

Eating sessions with friends (1)

First it was a "dim sum" on Saturday

Some of us were quite hungry by the time we reached the place., luckily some friends who had reached there earlier had ordered first...,

but I didn't bother with taking photos much....hahaha..

By the second set of order, we had slowed down...hehehe...

Had an enjoyable time with good friends...and were quite full after few hours there, but we still stopped next door for dessert of ice-cream and drinks...hehehe..

Next was the BBQ and steamboat at a friend's house yesterday (Part 1) ;

There were chicken, meat, crabs, baby octopus and prawns (have to say ~ the "XXXL" sized prawns brought all the way from Sabah by a good friend  ;-))),

but again I was too hungry by the time they were grilled (as I didn't have breakfast or lunch) and I just managed to snap away some using my phone's camera :-)

I'd actually eaten too much of the grilled food that I couldn't eat anymore...no steamboat food for me and definitely missed out on these ..

Will post another set of photos of yesterday's in my next entry....and will continue with my KK trip after that.
