Selamat Hari Raya
What greater way to pamper yourself than to spend a night at the premier room in a 5 star hotel. Yup- there's where i am, enjoying room service and blogging. The room is excellent, the bathroom is more than what i have expected. I could stay in the whole day, just lazing and chilling...something which i have not done in a while.
The room is overlooking the KL skyline. KLCC is beaming proudly amidst the dark skies. With the Raya season ahead, the roads are extremely quiet. It would be a peaceful drive around town, and most importantly, peaceful and stree-free ride to work on Friday.
I am salivating thinking bout rendang and lemang now. hopefully i will have a taste of it when my colleagues come back to the office. Meantime, enjoy the holiday season because for you know, it's time to go back to work again.
Selamat Hari Raya and happy holidays!
My First PT Session
Last night I went for my first ever PT (Personal Training) session. Man, my trainer do know how to push... her favourite phrase is: 5 more, 10 more, etc more... MORE MORE MORE! :S
I was so tired after the session, my arms, legs and even neck felt like JELLY! It was good though, I must say. I felt that I have done well in my first step to staying healthy and shedding some weight along the way! :)
I will be continuing my session for the next 8 weeks while going for a bootcamp, twice a week. Hopefully by the end of the whole thing, I can see a healthier Sophie! :P Have to say, winter has done HEAPS of damage to me... (note the emphasis on HEAPS! :S)
I need to keep myself in good shape and most importantly, in good health. I think that's my main driving force, and of course, losing some weight is always a bonus! :D Need to tone up my body and bring up my stamina... I used to be able to play soccer without huffing and puffing. But now,.... :S
So now I have to keep telling myself, GO SOPHIE, GOOOOOOOOO!

Tiga sekawan
Had a great time with Rose and Shirley last night. Fed our tummies with some Vietnamese food and updated each other on the recent developments in our lives. Rose is expecting and we want to be there for her when she needs us, at least for the moral support from the girls.
See how fast time flies....could still remember the days when we were in secondary school, then form 6 ( how we struggled through the days memorising bio and chemistry facts), then off we went to uni. Rose got married and now she is having a baby!! I was telling Shirley, the one who is pregnant is the one who is the slimmest! haha. Yep, i have gained 5 kilos since i worked here in PJ. I cannot say it's because of the food (because it ain't as great as Melaka food anyhow), so i rather think of it as 'happiness'. You know how ppl console you and say that gaining weight due to prosperity? As how Simon would simply put it-kaya dengan cinta :D
Anyway, back to the girls. It's good to know that we are all growing up well with good careers and life's such a blessing to us in their own unique way. There's nothing more to ask for than to have good friends who stand by you through storms and calm seas. So here's to Rose, may you have a wonderful pregnancy. I am confident that u will be a superb mom!
