OK I don’t want to think of home, raya or anything sedih medih today (although right now, I have the malaysian radio playing on the computer…waaaah!). I wanna talk about something happy…like the icky weather today hahaha.
It rained this morning. All the cats were indoors as they don’t want to get wet. They were either sleeping on the sofa, the bed or on the warm carpet. Good life they have eh? If they live with Ely's family, even the raccoons have good lives…cukup makan!
The husband drove me to work. He needed to send the 4-runner to the shop before buyers check the beast up for test drive (we don’t own this SUV, he is selling it for a customer on ebay). Traffic was bad. I don’t know whats up with SF people….they can't drive when :
1) it rains…even a drop of rain will cause a 2 hour back up on the freeway and 45 minutes back up on city streets
2) its daylight savings time. The sun goes down at approximately 5pm, people don’t know how to drive in the dark even with their headlights turned on hence, they use their high beam lights on.
3) there is a small accident on the OTHER SIDE of the road/freeway…RUBBERNECKING (my husband loves doing that by the way).
Stepped into the office, thinking that I could get warm…duh! Its very very cold here right now. Everyone was yelling at me asking me to call the Engineers for them to start the heater. Of course I don’t own them Engineers! I called them at 9:30am, its almost 1pm and not one of them came by to see me yet. But instead, the security document guy came to take our locked bins for destruction! *Shhh, don't tell my boss that I blog from work. Can't stop ilham when it comes mah!*
Should I talk about my diet? Hehehe…my twin, jangan jealous OK! You know I sayang you much much!
I have lost about 18 lbs since I last weighed myself last Sunday. Kinda slow past weeks due to water retention, thanks to my 'monthly best friend'. When the 'best friend' left, the scale just went down. I had to re weigh myself 3-4 times…sanity check.
How do I feel? Happy of course, hard work! BUT BUT BUT…my clothes don’t fit me as they use to. The co workers told me to dump them clothes and start over. Aiyoh, I no print money ok! Remember I told you that I had to stitch up the right side of my jeans? I just stitched the left side now. So when I tuck in my blouse, you can see the 'gathers' and frills around the waistline. Getting dressed to work is a chore now. I have to change my top at least 3x before I am satisfied. Why? Cos my button down tops look like they were borrowed. They don’t sit on my shoulders and body well. Serembah serembih kata orang tuh? Knitted tops are the best, they 'grow' and 'shrink' with you and are more versatile. Just don’t put them in the dryer or Barbie will get new clothes!
Now I am very determined to reach that ideal weight…of my choice (as in, don’t even expect me to be 110lbs!). Maybe this great month of Ramadan will help me achieve very close to my weight goal.
The husband 'kecundang' on his diet when ramadan started. He lost 12 lbs but as his surgery date is getting closer, this losing weight thingy is serious business! So he lost another 3 lbs. Yeah…men tend to lose weight faster then women eh? Benci betul!
Bapak told me that mak is getting ready to make us pineapple tarts. And of course my 'wish list' grew each second as I talked to him. Nak serunding, paru goreng (kering pun ok), M&M cookies that my sister bakes, etc etc etc.
So I am hopeful…that I will get them tarts by the week of raya (read me sister? WEEK OF RAYA OK…so must hustle!).
Happy Fasting everyone…2 more weeks before the big day!

must be HAPPY for twin...Good job gal!
Terror la lu! Wa caya sama lu.
No, I am genuinely jealous, short of sending you all fattening stuff.
18lbs is like...whoaaaaa!!!!
hehehe, dont have to send me fattening stuff, mak is sending me tonnes and i am going to cook sayur lodeh and lontong for raya!
18 lbs is not enough babes!!!!!!!
hello ely! Thanks for dropping by. 8) Here in Singapore is cool too. No need for fan or aircon for these few nights. has been raining for the past few days.
Selamat berpuasa!
Ely, what did you do to lose 8 kgs? Atkin's ke?
I lost half of that over last one month by taking DXN Ganoderma. It is an appetite suppresant for me. However it brought out my covert illness and I had to suffer left ankle swelling for last one month. It is much better now.
Kak ely i envy u lah, u ni selalu stay positive. Takde worry. Even though i know deep down u sedih tak dpt raya bersama keluarga, but u kuat kan semangat utk urself n ur family. Syabas!!! And also congrats kerana dpt menurun kan berat badan. U go gal!!!
Ely,
kuih tart...memang sedap! My niece and my adik angkat here will make kuih tart next week..
I like you 4 being happy attitude..and able to laugh for a lot of things. But most of all you remind me that women are not weak.
Pasal losing weight.. I am on the opposite battle...macamana nak gemuk sikit..
