Gentleman's Dignity, korean drama again?

I found this new drama over the weekend..while trying to find something new to kill time. Of course hubs wasn't quite approving whenever i get hooked on any korean drama, I will ignore everything around me..hee heee

If your favorite are among these shows;

1. My girl
2. Fullhouse
3. Secret garden
4. Spy myong wol
5. Lie to me

then you will looooove this one tooo..i have requirements when it comes to korean drama, 

• both lead actor and actress have to be gorgeous (exception to Rain in fullhouse) or at least the they need to have charisma
• Not overly silly
• Not too easy to win each other..the play-hard-to-get must be prolonged to at least half of the  drama...(then you will find  it thrill..:))

I started to get hook on this one from the 1st episode:) 

You can watch from this site http://www.kimchidramas.net/2012/05/gentlemans-dignity.html 

Btw, they are still showing this show in Korea, due to clash of schedule with Olympic the last 2 episodes (19 and 20) will be continued after Olympic games.

happy watching!!

PJ Dawn 2012

Hi peeps...I hope it's not too late to wish "happy mother's day" to all of us mothers:)

Had a very busy mother's day..started as early 2am, getting ready for my dawn run at 4am, came back and stop by at Mamak's for a quick breakfast and reached home 6:30am. Then, took a nap for 1 hour before getting ready for Allysha's bff's birthday party at 11am, which I realized I haven't bought any present yet, so get hubby to drive me to MidValley to grab the present and rush back to the party at Bukit Jalil Golf club..stayed there for a while, then we went to a Thai restaurant with my in laws for Mother's day lunch treat by hubby...I brought along my sister and cousin and my niece..(since it's free lunch kan??) my twins came back on Friday with 2 bouquet of flowers (their school project for mother's day) and I left it at my mother-in-law's place..(should have taken pic of the bouquets)

Btw, the highlight of the day was my first run in 4 months and my very first 12KM, the last run was in January,as a ghost runner during Mizuno Run. This run, I registered last month when I suddenly realized I'm running out of time. my first ever half marathon is in June...less than 2 more months..I freaked out and started to look for running event....Helpp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To tell you the truth..I'm soooooo not ready for half marathon..what was I thinking when I registered myself then..too ambitious I must say:( isk..isk!!!

Mr hubs didn't join, he wants to concentrate on his squash this year..according to him, when he runs..his action in court affected...plus he just hurt both of his ankles last week..*sigh* that's my avid squash player hubby!

Unlike my previous runs I was so nervous, which something I never felt before.

All other runs..it's just like going for jog in the park..but this time I was afraid I may not be able to even finish my run..I was totally "unfit' for any long distance run. My only preparation started last week with 3 runs of 4KM each at KLCC park, that's all......it took me 3 days to complete 12KM where I'm supposed to finish in less than 2 hours.

I'm not kidding when I told hubby that I just need to complete the run..hell with timing..it was really hell for the first 3KM..I was huffing and puffing..trying to keep up with the rest of the runners..I was thinking to myself..I definitely not going to run half marathon anytime soon..to top it up..remember the girl from my bootcamp? She's there..not only fit as ever,she was jumping up and down...daaaannnng!!!!menyirap darah mak tengok!!! but this time around..I told myself..forget about trying to compete with her...isk..isk..isk...!! so, pathetically I ran at my own pace...like a kura-kura

and guess what???at KM9...I saw this "rabbit" walking and no longer jumping up and down like she did earlier on...so i gulped down the last few drops of 100plus..suddenly I feel the surge of energy....and I started running to overtake her...I feel like a scene in a movie with slow moving affect....like yeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!!! with my scarf waving left and right....:)

ok peeps...not that fast laa actually..I clocked 1hr 22mins for 10KM, and 1 hr 39mins for 12KM (that's according to my GPS) and the remaining 500 meters to the finishing line ..i just walked, and add 3 more minutes....My GPS showed 12.47KM total distance to the finishing line...my nett timing for the run 1hr 42mins.

Definitely not my best but also not my worst considering I have stopped for a while..thanks to Ms Rabbit:)

my next run in 2 weeks time, fun run standard chartered 8KM.

until next time...take care!!!

happy running!

Effortlessly chic..and loooove this song!

P/s this is the performance during Conan O'Brien's show..how awesome is that??

Candy buffet anyone??

Had a great weekend last week, celebrating my niece's 7th birthday. My mom was around and she cooked nasi dagang and her signature dish Nasi kerabu goreng which my friends raved about it...normally she will cook extra for my friends to "tapau" back the food.. and she loooved doing it..:)

Btw, the highlight of the event not only my mom's yummilicious cooking but the candy buffet done by my beloved friend Suria. She did all the printing and organized such a beautiful set-up..and oooohh..her rainbow cake is equally yummy!

Check out part of the pics..will upload more from the camera later..these were taken using my iphone. 

Suria's yummy rainbow cake- thanks to Zarin for the recipe shared earlier:)

The only thing we baked our own here is the cuppies:)

until next time..take care peeps:)

Couple that sweats together stays together!

I got this phrase from Giulina Rancic..and I got inspired once again to continue running, I hope it does the same to you!!

I've stopped running since last January. I only run once in a blue moon on a thread-mill, I even suspended my gym membership. I seriously could not find time to head to the gym after work ever since Allysha started her school. She's on afternoon session, hence I need to go back early to make sure she has her dinner early, by 8 she's already fall asleep nowadays:(

By the way peeps..happy weekends!

Kidzania

It's been a while since I last blogged..been a while tak jengok langsung blogspot, sampai jakun tengok new format, tak jumpa cari edit button:) 

it's a phase where I lost the mojo. Partly due to my work commitment, started with the new department, new boss...my previous boss was assigned to a new portfolio, we had to be disbanded and bringing with us the projects to the new division.


Still trying to adjust to the new team eventhough the nature of projects are still the same. Havent been running much..last was Mizuno as a ghost runner (last minutes decision to join hubby)


Btw..just want to share with you peeps..the new place during this school holidays..Kidzania, they just opened on 28th Feb. I bet many of you already explored the place..


Since we just came back from Singapore 2 weeks ago, so this school holidays we just spent in KL, plus hubby is a bit busy nowadays. My sis in law raved about Kidzania in Jakarta so when I heard they opened Kidzania here in KL..we decided..ok, should go there this school holidays..


Mann...it was crowded, I should have bought tickets online..at least can save time queuing up for tickets. By the way..that's not the only queue, you had to queue all the way up to level 3 because of the big crowd trying to go in.


Time was also limited..they opened 2 sessions, morning from 10-3 pm, minus 1 hour queuing..you ended up only few hours left..by 2:15 most of the establishment won't take any new recruitments..so the most you can only do 2-3 jobs if you are lucky and aggressive enough the kids can take up most 5 jobs...so one visit won't be enough.


Every job, you need to queue at least 30-45 minutes..so overall a bit dissappointed for me and the kids.


Few tips to parents who intend to bring the kids there:

• Pack some snacks (queue for buying food can be long..and slow moving plus food there can be tasteless for some)
• Bring your own water (in case you want to save some times queueing)
• Purchase tickets online (esp school holidays)
• Try to be as early as you can to beat the crowd

btw, the kids have to be accompanied by at least 1 adult, and the adult can't leave the premise, must be inside the premise at all time.


In case you want to check out..go visit their website, and purchase your tickets there..perhaps the experience would be better once school holidays is over

My ballerina

Allysha dah masuk standard 1 this year..being the first born in the family masuk darjah satu..kecoh semua orang, atuk nenek..mommy lagi laa..cuma Baba aje yg cool..(macam biasa, suka ambik sikap berkecuali) I took a week off just to make sure she settled and kids nowadays..memang independent, the 2nd day dah larang I tunggu...akhirnya mommy siap make new friends dgn other mommies yang bosan menunggu kat sekolah:)

Now she's adjusting her hectic day..in the morning, atuk and nenek will pick her up for her agama class, and noon she will be going to her sekolah kebangsaan. Sometimes..at 8 pm, while we were busy preparing for dinner dia dah mengantuk tak boleh tahan2 dah mata..so kesian.

On weekends, she has her ballet on saturday and Piano on sunday, since Ballet I think is the less important (ikut perkiraan mommy) so I told her to stop after taking her exam in March..she's soooo furious...insist to continue her dance class....she has her bff in the same ballet class with her, that's make it more fun for her. This is her 2nd year in ballet class which she took in Beaconhouse last year and continue with the dance school this year. After her exam in March she will be moving to a new level.

My dilemma now, I plan for her to go for other classes related to her academic..and ballet is not something I want her to pursue further...somehow she loved it so much..mommy pening fikir how to send her to other classes kalau jadual packed macam gini..Friday night, mommy sure dah bising2 paksa dia practice piano...nak kena practice ballet lagi for exam..now considering Enopi and English at British council.

I know I should chillax and not worried too much since she's still small, but I guess..I need to train her early....get the right foundation..and once the foundation is strong she'll be ready to face the challenge..I takut sangat she's left behind...you know laa how school nowadays, PMR aje berpuluh ribu dpt 8As.

How do you mommies out there handle this kind of pressure?

I had a conversation with a friend recently, I think being a mother I feel obligated to give the opportunities to my kids..even now nak get a handbag pun berkira2 unlike before..the kids matter kena settle dulu..so kalau nak kelek Prada tu..I nak kena make sure the kids must be given the priority and dah fulfilled..now I understand my mom's dilemma when we were kids. Lucky, this year just the twins go to pre-school. .at least a quarter of our yearly fees has reduced. Last year, Allysha and the twins' fee dah boleh beli LV Speedy Multicolor (one of mommy's dream hbag)...mengeluh je mommy bila awal2 tahun macam gini:( Nampaknya..mommy kena keep dreaming and tak tahu bila mommy's dream boleh tercapai:(

Not a wordless wednesday

It's not a good thing to start a new year with a drooling:(

But, people said if you dream hard enough it might comes true..so for now I will keep dreaming:)
