The healthy side of me

Very seldom you could see me posting anything related to sports or health. 

Because I am totally not in that category of woman..LOL!

But currently I am trying my best to change my eating habits and decided to involve in more sports activities to make myself sweat more. Don't ask me why. I've seen too many cases where lives are taken away just like that, and people going in and out of the hospital due to their health problems. One word for me to describe - scary. 

If some of you followed my twitter, then you'll know that I joined Celebrity Fitness but lately I'm so lazy to go there because it's boring. No friends to go together..hehhe! 

Lately I'm into swimming and playing badminton. Last week I started swimming and felt damn good after 10 laps. The boyf and I decided that we go for swimming at least once a week and same goes to badminton session. 

But no swimming for me this week because I just permed my hair. I hafta for at least a week before I can dip in the chlorine water.

Badminton will be on every Wednesday with colleagues in his badminton court. Today was my first session joining them and I played to the max. I believe I'm gonna wake up with muscles pain tomorrow. Played doubles with the guys and we won. But in singles with a colleague's wife, I LOST. My stamina is so limited sdn bhd, plus my legs are short..hahahah! Nevermind I will train harder! 

Today I woke up at 7am.

Surprise huh? Went to the hospital coz his dad was allowed to be discharged today after staying for 10 days there due to lungs infections. We waited til 2pm before everything was settled including the medical bills. And to my surprise, the medical bills came to a total amount of RM33k! omg this is a huge amount.

I commented, "It is expensive to be sick!"

"I've just paid down payment for my Mercedes Benz. Now I'm going to collect from the lobby," the boyf joked while driving from the carpark to the hospital lobby to pick his dad. Hahaha!

From here, I learnt that health is extremely important to each and everyone. 

It's useless to have a lot of money when your health level deteriorates. I lost my mum, who suffered from lung cancer, 5 years ago. Now his dad got lung infections. And I've seen too many cases where health problems ruined their lives. 

Both of our dads are of the same age and I can see clearly that my dad is so much healthier and stronger than his dad. One of the reason is my dad exercises very often, controls his eating habit well and free from smoking and drinking. A good example for me to follow and who knows I'll also be that healthy when I reach the age of 50..hehehe!

LOL that would be me at the age of 80! 

I hope you'll be the one who joins me sunbathing by the beautiful beaches.. ;)

Food Marathon In Penang

I just got back from Penang today.

This morning 5am we started driving back. I was so sober at that time because I slept at 2am and it is almost impossible to drag me up at 5am. Actually the boyf wanted to drive back at 12am but I suggested that we should take a nap for few hours since we were out the whole day already.

I had so much fun in Penang.

The main purpose of going back hometown this time was to QingMing for my mum. I went back on Sunday reached home around 11.40am. We had dinner in Tapah rest area and you know what? The chicken rice and the fish balls soup was awesome!


Monday

I woke up around 11 something to find that the boyf and dad has already went out. Wanted to go for my favourite kuey teow soup with my sis, but the boyf accidentally took out the car key with him. So we waited till almost 12pm.

Then we went over to Penang International Airport to pick my sister. She wanted to treat us for pork ribs but Dad was waiting for us to have lunch at home.

Food at home wasn't that nice. We regretted not going for pork ribs..LOL!

Later in the evening we went for assam laksa. I prefer the one opposite Berapit Secondary School or Taman Bukit Laksa. Qianhwei prefers pasar malam laksa and the youngest sis prefers Cendol House laksa. But luckily 3 of us loves the Jawi laksa..hahahah!

Look at Qianhwei's guitar..3 strings only..hahahah!





The noodles used to be clumped in round shape but now it's kinda different already. I still prefer the clumped noodles.


Tuesday

We went to QingMing for my mum. All of us were back for this year's QingMing and I'm sure my mum is happy up there. We had good laughs and I love the way my dad criticized my bro. He is so pro mann. LOL!

The night before we showed Dad my bro's facebook. Dad saw his profile pic where he was in the club drinking and posing with a straw on his mouth.

The next morning, Dad told us that his friend's son was suffering from lung cancer. He continued that his friend's son is only 30 years old, and he used to drink and smoke like nobody's business. And when he drink liquor, he uses straw..hahahhaha my bro pretended to read the newspaper.

Whereas 3 of us knew he was mentioning about my bro..LOL! Bro must be wondering why the story that Dad told us was so similar to his pic in FB.

Had lunch at home and then all of us took a nap. Planned to go over Penang island around 3 something but we all woke up 5pm.

Reached Penang island around 6 something.

Youngest sis brought us to this new seafood place in Tanjung Bungah. Hmm beware of the tempting food below. Heheh!


Seafood dinner on the beach ♥



Muka baru bangun.

The famous salted grilled prawns. Yummy!
Grilled meaty crabs
Lalalalala..
Fried quail


There are more varieties in the menu but we only ordered the few famous dishes coz we wanted to spare our stomach for supper.



 

This is how the place looks like. Taken from the carpark.


After dinner, we checked in to our hotel at Corpthorne Orchid Hotel. Actually Dad booked Berjaya Hotel for us but when we were there, there's none of our record and maybe the Berjaya Vacation Club management didnt confirm his booking or there's mistakes.

Instead of going back home, the boyf suggested that we'll just find a hotel at Tanjung Bungah/Batu Feringghi and stay for a night. We ended up in Corpthone. ;)

We drove out again around 9pm hunting for supper.

Ended up in Hard Rock Hotel. I wanted to go inside coz I've seen from magazines the interior is so damn nice.






To my surprise, the place is so so only. Not as beautiful as seen in the magazine, hmm..

 

Camwhore in the toilet ♥

I ♥ this pic very much!

Sis said she felt like eating wedges and etc. We came to a conclusion - supper at Hard Rock Cafe.

We ordered Jumbo Combo and a dessert. Jumbo Combo is my all time fav! Especially the buffalo wings..slurps!








Great night with good food and great people ♥

Wednesday

We all woke up late. Checked out at 1pm when Dad called us for lunch. He wanted to bring us to Penang Road for food but the shop was closed.

Dad called back and asked us to makan sendiri..hahahha!

Had our lunch at Smoky Jack - introduced by Qianhwei.





Boston Clam Chowder
Salad
Garlic Bread

Cant remember the name. I told them it's kuey teow basah..hahaha!

Grilled Chicken Breast Fettuccine
 
Australian Rib Eye

BBQ Pork Ribs

Desserts

Last night

Here's what we had for dinner last night. Thai food.



I really had food marathon in Penang. There's too many places that we wanted to go, too bad not enough time and our stomach couldnt stretch anymore.

Enough of food. I need to get back to gym as soon as possible before my waist starts to stretch..heheh!
