WII Fit! FUN!!

My dear fren, A, brought back a WII Fit fm Beijing for me. Collected it yesterday and decided to check it out with Matt and Nic today. It was really fun! And very 'intelligent' too.


We had fun testing our 'posture balance' and it turned out we're not too bad, just slightly off the optimum. Went thru the test run to test our reflexes. Matt's reflexes was equivalent to that of a 29yo! and Nic was that of a 23yo!! Luckily mine not too bad, just that of a 49yo. Only 8yrs fm my actual. We're gonna use this as our fitness platform. Hopefully it'll help get our reflex level back to our actual age! haha...

Trip

organising a trip for 14 pax to Fujian during the sch hols. it's not gonna be easy task man! Just getting the airfare checked and flights confirmed already a headache. Next will be the accommodation, transport and tour. got to work around so many pple's budget. Sometimes I wonder why the hell I agree to do this? I only wanted to accompany Dad for the trip. I didn't expect he'll hv so many pple accompanying him. Shd hv backed out earlier. Now too late liao lor.

Dun you love it?

do you salivate at the sight of this?? YES! this is 猪油渣! and it's my fav!! well, dun tell me about health issues and stuff. As long as i'm not eating it everyday or every meal, it's ok to indulge in my fav. And seriously, those well fried ones are not supposed to be oily, but crisp and dry. Best are those served at Kah Soh restaurants. So glad they made a come back after many years of disappearance. Now I can get my regular fix at the prawn noodle and fishball noodle stalls just outside my house! yippee!!

Our sons...

Suddenly, they've all grown so much! Godson is already taller than me! Very soon Drew and Matt will also be taller than me. At least I'll still hv a few more years with Nic. Was telling Matt, I better breath down their neck more often now, otherwise once they're taller than me, it'll be quite impossible to do that!! haha....

Phew...

Thankfully, Ina came back last night. Glad that she didn't disappoint me and do what most others speculated, left for good. Anyway, we'll only hv her with us for another 2 1/2 months. Sad.

Am also proud of myself bcos I survived 9 days without a helper! and I have to say, I'm proud of my sons too for chipping in to help here and there. Got to thank Dad and Mum too for helping in their own little ways. And I think, it's a matter of re-adjusting expectations, changing our habits and making do with whatever we can manage when without a helper. So now we know, shd the day come, we can still manage without a helper. hee..

Anyway, this was what I prepared for our reunion dinner. 'Sumptuous' steamboat spread and mandarin orange mousse dessert. Not bad huh?

now my bones are shattering! got to use the next week or so to recuperate. haha...
