Random Friday Morning

A good Friday morning to you all!

Last day of the week…the weekend is just knocking on the door!

Well actually for me, it already does feel like the weekend because I only have once prac class in the afternoon and that’s it. It’s so amazing not having to go to an 8 or 9am lecture, although I did end up waking a bit earlier than usual.

Did a liiiiittle bit of reading on lower respiratory tract and had a good bowl of oatmeal. I haven’t been having much hot oatmeal for breakfast these days because of the morning rush, but it’s really nice to just sit with a warm, comforting bowl and read through blogs without having to check the time constantly.

Added a bit of egg white to my bowl today, for extra protein.

Oh, and I also wanted to share a photo of something I got in the mail recently!

“Asuma” necklace, in sterling silver.

I ordered this right after Valentine’s day because I wanted to use up a discount card that I had forever and the expiry date was creeping up.

It had been about a month since I ordered and the company said they were going to post it in 2 weeks from the date of the order, so I was getting worried it had gotten lost somewhere on the way. Glad it got here safe.

On a different note, I did something really douchy last night.

Yeah, I broke my chair.

But I have a story behind it!

I always felt that the arm rest was annoying when I was working at the desk and wanted to pull the chair in closer to the desk (because it would get stuck at the edge of the desk), or when I wanted to cross my legs (the arm rest would get in the way of my knees).

So last night, I thought…hey, why don’t I just remove it? It’s only screwed on anyway.

And then this happened.

Apparently, the back of the chair was only attached to the base because the arm rests were screwed on to both the base and the back.

Lol, the story of my life.

But I managed to assemble them together again, so it’s all good now (I’m sitting on it as I am writing this right now, as a matter of fact).

Anyway.

I guess, since I have so much time before my class today, I’ll go to the Pilates class in a while, and maybe Yoga after lunch.

I went for Body Attack yesterday and got my share of cardio in, so a good core strengthening and stretching sounds pretty good for me today.

Oh and it was my first time doing a set of Body Attack tracks from the 80′s!!! Body Attack 45 and 47, I think, is what our instructor said. The music was so much fun!

So this ended up as a pretty random post…oh well.

Good weekend to you all!!!

P.S. Last night was the Medsoc Pub Crawl night…hope those of you who went to the thing had fun! Too bad drinking never became my thing (though I tried). Boo.

Last Day with Mum&Bro

So today was my last day with Mum and Hikaru this holiday.

The first 10 days seemed to go pretty slow, but after the New Years, time practically flew away like the wind.

I was sort of upset about them leaving and being alone again several days ago; my alter ego (the emo one) was totally dominating over my mind.

But now I’m sort of okay about the whole thing – probably also because now Mum got all teary and I had to be the optimistic one.

Telling her how everything will still be the same, that we’ll still text each other everyday like we used to and we can talk to each other any time we want, made me realise how some families may only see each other once in a couple of years even if they live in the next town, while you could be living in different continents and still visit each other more often than that.

Also, being apart from each other will also make you see things that you would not be able to by living under the same roof, and appreciate the existence of the other.

I don’t want to be too wordy here, all I know is that everything’s going to be just fine.

Today, we finished putting up the curtain rails in my apartment (I only used to have blinds), so now all I need to do is go over to Austvina’s place once she comes back from Queensland, and sew the hems of the fabric I got for the curtains from Ikea.

Speaking of which, I went to Ikea like three times (including today) over the course of a month, since Mum was here and we could just drive and get there in about 15 minutes!!!

Love that we have such a huge Ikea (bigger than the one in Rhodes) so close now.

I could easily bike to Tempe, unless I have something huge to buy.

I’ll probably go there just to chill and eat their Princess Cake anyway, like I did today.

<Shared these treats with Mum and Hikaru at Ikea, Tempe today>

Although, the cake tasted so much sweeter than I remembered…almost too sweet…sad, I know. But it was still good. And pretty.

But hey, I can still get free coffee/tea for the win!!! I love having my Ikea Family card.

So we just came back from Ikea without getting anything much, apart from the curtain hooks.

They’re clip-on, so I don’t have to make any holes in the curtain itself. Easy peasy.

Anyhow, since we reaaaallly didn’t do much today, apart from listening to LOL songs and the forgotten favourites, I’ll just leave it at that.
