My Sewing Project

I mention in my last post about my sewing project.......well, it was those camera lens carrier. and...ermm.....it turn out nice and acceptable. I am still on the sewing project trying to sew nicer and more comfortable carrier for the lens, lols.
******************
This is my electric sewing machine, they don't make this kind of sewing machine anymore and I am glad I bought it 30yrs ago, at that time it cost $370sin consider very expensive and I save like hell just to buy it. It never fail me, I had sew countless stuffs, from clothing to doggies clothes, patch work, alteration and many many more I even sew a patch work comforter once. After 30yrs it still good. Like said before I am glad I bought it.

Good and Bad News.

Let's go for the good news first, remember I mention that I'll be going for medical checkup? Yes, I did and very happy and proud about it, I pass with flying colour again, even my doctor was glad with my medical report because is better than the last, so happy really, three cheers to me, hahaha.Check Spelling
*********
And now the bad news.......the very next day as I was driving home after work about 11.30pm, my car broke down, the car engine was very hot, panic and called a friend who stay quite near me and he call his mechanic, who came to help. Actually there is nothing much he can do except to drive my car safely home and pick it up the next day for repair. Conclusion, the thermostat spoil, water not going into the engine therefore temperature of the engine shot up. Thank God it didn't happen the day before or else I am in big big trouble, being outstation and the car broke down could be disaster.
Total repairs cost not too bad Rm160.00.
Honestly speaking I have been kind of busy with some sewing project, and worst of all was the Internet connection had been bad hopefully it will better.

Looking good life style....

After my bad experience of the expired sugar testing strip, I somehow felt that being healthy it's so important. Imagine me...a heart attack patient and add on being a diabetic, just can't stop that negative thoughts flashing in my mind. I took care of my mom for years, and I saw her going through as a diabetic especially towards the end of her life, it's quite sad actually. Nobody can predict the future but being healthy help alot. As a heart patient, I have many rule to follow, proud to said I am quite good at that. I am now enjoying my new life style. Being able to go to the gym at least 5days a week it's really enjoyable for me. It's already 18mths since I joined the gym, looking at myself now and before, I must said I look so much better now, much tone up, no flabby back, smaller tummy, better complexion, no more pigmentation, radian look and lost a kg....not perfect off cause,atleast a good medical report, I am most satisfied and happy whenever I get compliment, not one but many. Even though I am a heart patient, I tried my best to be as healthy as possible, not just excises, my diet has change too, less meat more vegetable and fruit if possible no oil, don't get me wrong I am not an extremist, I do take naughty food sometime, hahaha.....
A friend told me some time ago that "as a heart patient I am not suppose to exercise or over work myself ", "Thank-you" my friend for reminding me,but.... not to worried I love myself just as much as you love me and will not over stress but enjoying every moment of it....hahaha.

Expiry date..

Because mom is a diabetic, I am always worried that I might inherit it, therefore I'll check my sugar level once in a while, I did that 2 days ago. And it's a shocking experience when the result show 15.7 which is so damn high, at that very moment I just mumble, " mom why you have to love me so much to even pass me your sugar". I couldn't believed it, normal reflex.... to check the expire date, true enough it stated"EXP 02.2010", no doubt it had expired in Feb 2010, I still think my sugar lever must be high in order to achieved 15.7. I call my doctor straight away to made an appointment to see him on Monday, but... today is only Wednesday....... how can I stress myself for another 5days, can't wait till Monday, went to a pharmacy paid Rm2.00 to have my sugar level check, guess what..........6.2 in mid afternoon....that's great, normal and not high at all.....phewwww, what a relive, hahaha. ******* Funny right.... how expired product work......so made sure you check the expiry date on anything before you use it........

3Days/2Night at 'Ruby's Resort'

We arrived 'Ruby's Resort' at about 2pm just the right time to check in. There were some changes in the rule and regulation of the resort for dog lover that I am not aware of. Guests who bring their fur kids along needs to bring their own bed sheet and towels, after much persuasion kind Ruby willing to loan me some bed sheet, in the end I didn't use it. After checking in, we headed straight to 'Hai Peng' kopitiam for coffee lunch. On the way back to the resort we stop by at one of the supermarket and bought a set of bed cover that come with a comforter and is not too expensive so I bought it use it straight away and kept it for future use.
******
'Ruby's Resort' is a paradise, with beautiful beaches, cosy environment and very much at home kind of resort, it's a wonderful breakaway holiday.
******
We came here to celebrate 2birthday for Redbabe and Husband, and a 9yrs wedding ceremony for Evie and Dennis. We had BBQ on the 2Nd night as a celebration for the purpose of this trip, this 2 cake was compliment from 'Ruby's Resort'. We sang, eat, drink and watch the beautiful spark from the Bonn fire. Great place, nice bunch of people, met some new friends, we had great fun. Other then all those stuff that we did with our fur kids by the beach, like walking, burying(honestly Sunshine love it) running, swimming with them.
This trip I did so much more than the February trip because they were no game of mahjon so most of the time was spent with the doggies by the beach, woke up early to watch the sunrise, did a little yoga and my favorite stick exercises.
*******
As usual on the final morning of our trip after our wonderful breakfast,is time to mark our self after paying the bills, hopefully the next time to 'Ruby's' we can stay in the same room, and also hope that whoever stay in, leave this whole pillar for me to mark, hahaha. I'll be back.......

Birthdays

We will be going to Ruby's Resort again since last February, this time round it's for a wedding anniversary and 2 birthdays celebration.
Since 'Ruby's Resort is doggies friendly, Million and Dollar was invited to join the party. I was in Kuala Lumpur a day earlier to spent sometime with my 2 birthdays child, Redbabe and her husband Harrison. It was a smooth journey until the last toll(Sg.Besi) that I took a wrong exit and I was lost, and this is all because I was so confident that I did not double check the routh and forgotten that the last I drove to her house was in February, the other of the trips was by bus. So...with the help from Redbade though the mobile phone and "Bingo" I arrived safely in 1 hour, with Redbade standing outside her gate shaking her head and laughing her guts out to welcome me, and what did I said in one of my entries.....the age thing.......hahaha! So conclusion was I seriously need a "GPS".
Ok, ok back to the birthdays part, got Redbabe a present and went for dinner in 'Unique Seafood'. We had a great time here laughing and eating especially the foods........so yummy.We order the usual stuff, prawns, our favourite Kai Lan with ikan bilies, bamboo shell and this time round we order 'snow crap', it was my first time to have a taste of this high and mighty snow crap, it's really very different from those local or sri lakan crap. The crap meat is thicker and sweeter, we had it cook with salted egg, thump-up yummy, so is the bill, hahaha. Thanks to my son-in -law.
And that concluded the first day of my arrival in Kuala Lumpur.

One of my Day Off.

It's all because the town council is coming to washed up the whole area where I worked, so I need to close shop and have a day off. And my day off started as, I woke up at 8am had my breakfast and left for the gym, only intend to stay for half an hour, but, only manage to join the class for 5mins because I had an appointment with Tenny and St.Chaire for asam(sour) laksa(curry), I don't want to meet up sweaty. For the laksa it's all because.......St.Chaire is pregnant, and she has been asking for this asam laksa so both of us had been bringing her to all kinds of curry noodle like, Indonesian curry noodle, Malacca curry noodle and many many local curry noodle until somebody told me about this new shop that sell delicious asam laksa and I promise to bring them to satisfied that pregnant woman, hahaha, it was nice, so delicious but forget to take picture. ***********
St. Chaire will be moving to Kuala Lumput pretty soon for her childrens' education in international school. That's the reason Yvonne had arranged the lunch at Bunnys', kind of farewell for St.Chaire, 'sob,sob'.......not many people, just 4 of us, Yvonne, Gwen, St.Chaire and me as St.Chaire guest. Both of us just couldn't take anything heavy, because the asam laksa still not yet digest. It sure is a good lunch, the resturant is fill with our laughter. One thing for sure, I am going to miss her very much.
**********
At 2.30pm both me and St. Chaire left for JB together with our gym friends Ivy and Maggi to Nike factory hoping to get some nice gym wear, unfortunately all those stuff they sold there is out dated and mostly for man, do not fool by the name"factory", nothing special and it's not cheap at all. Came back at 6pm. When for steamboat dinner at 7.30pm with super maid. And atlast my eventful day ended here, came home at 9.30pm, and have a relaxing evenning in front of the TV.....

Back to Normal

It's back to normal for a while since the world cup ended. I must said this world cup had been different for me compare to those before, because, it was the first time that I put in abit of betting, won a little, watch most of the game and sometime with a glass of red wine,and at the same time trying very hard to minimise my excitement when my team score, hahaha.... because some game was passed midnight therefore I have to be very discreet in order not to wake up my neighbors up, and hug Million(pet)instead who is always sitting next to me, staring at me wondering what's that hug for, hahaha.

****** **

There was an occasion that I watched it with my brother and family who came back for a durian party arrange by my elder sister, shouting for our team to score and having red wine at the same time was really fun. Now that it's all over, somehow something is missing in my daily life guess some of you must have felt the same too, the withdrawal symptom, hahaha......But one thing for sure the tiredness set in...... it take weeks to recover even now I am still very tired, and with all those lost sleep which I am still trying to catch up, age has a great part in this, hahaha. Wonder what will it be in the next world cup, probably it takes month to recover......, maybe it will be the game watching me instead of me watching the game.........

*********

Let me tell you about things that happen during this month. Firstly my sister Irene had arrange a durian party for the family, those were really good one so many different breeds, T9, T12, D24 and so on....it was Delicious, but mind you it's 100% calories and it made you fat hahaha.

***********

Other then the durian party we have a birthday celebration of my grand niece, Irene's grand-daughter Rhona, a sweet little thing with big round eye. *****

Overall, I had great fun watching the world cup and off course won some extra bucks made it even better.....can't wait for the next world cup in Brazil 2014.

It's Nice!!

I mention in one of my entry about meeting up with a friends that I have not met for more than 30years. And here is, 'Mimi'.....a big sister to me, I remember when we first met I was less than 10yrs old. At that time we were living in a fruit plantation, where my youngest brother was born in 1964, her late mother was a nanny to my brother and that's how we met. Mimi stayed with us even though her mother was no more taking care of my brother, we were into our teens together, slept, eat, play we even went to the same school, honestly.....there is so much to write about, memories just kept flashing back in my mind, don't think I can write them all. ********* Thanks to Rose (the one in maroon ts')also a good friend who is now staying in France, and she never fail to look me up whenever she is back in Malaysia. This time round she brought Mimi her classmate staying in Johor Baru. I couldn't recognize Mimi when she walk into my shop alone to surprise me, because we have lost touch for more than 30yrs, and 30yrs is a long long time. I was almost in tears when she told me who she is, what should I said.......it's was really nice to meet up, really great, unfortunately mom is no more with us or else she'll be just as happy. ****** We promise to keep in touch, I'll bring my little brother who is now married with 3kids to visited her, next time round it will be a surprise for her..........

Tracking

I think there is a rat in my house, because Million and Dollar had been so busy tracking it down, see...... Million even track it way up high on top of the cupboard. She insisted it's up there and so persisting about it, therefore I have to put her up there and nope it's not there. There is nothing on top neither is behind the cupboard, but...my instinct told me the rat is still inside the house, so let see how good is Million and Dollar at the job this time.
