Go GB!!

Olympic fever is here..

even our little missy is so keen to watch the games. last nite we cheered for Becky Edlington who got a bronze in 400m Free Style. today little missy was cheering for Tom Daley & Pete Waterfield for the Men Synchronised 10m diving. she knew about Tom from school. unfortunately the boys only managed to get 4th place.


then we watched Gymnastics and so chuffed when the GB Team got a Bronze..

art attack!

she did this all by herself this morning..

when asked, who's that? she said "thats me!"

thank you teachers

mummy is a bit disorganised, bit delayed in getting thank u cards & gifts for kids teachers. thursday is big missy's last day of school and lil missy finishes on friday. but fear not, thornton to the rescue!

lil missy told me her friends gave presents to all their 3 class teachers (teacher + teaching assistants)  and also to their dinner lady. mummy bukan lah nak compete dgn the others but if i dont give to all of them, nanti dia bising..the shirt choc is for big missy's home tutor. but then again, all of them deserve a big thank u.

arent they cute?? got these for Mrs Chilton, lil missy's class (& favourite) teacher.

addicted

sapa cakap exercise is not addictive?

weather last week was just AWFUL..couldnt go briskwalking all week! and having to go to the office every morning didnt help either.

on Saturday afternoon, lil missy went to Emma's birthday  party. thanks to Fiona who offered to take kenit to the party with her daughter Chloe, took the girls to the park after and then let kenit stayed at theirs for tea. soon as they left, kamar & i walked to Wollaton Park and we did about 2.5 miles walkabout. it turned out to be a glorious afternoon after all.


then on Sunday afternoon, drove to Bramcote Hill Park. while lil missy played with Aida at the playground & the green, Kamar & i walked in the woods and twice round the park. stopped for some exercises - sit up and push ups. and guess what?? my stiff back was gone!


kira not bad lah for a woman who's approaching 50 kan? u tell me how many msian woman my age can still do sit up? jgn lah kira dengan woman my age kat sini, mmg ramai yg still active & very fit.
below : my CHUNKY trainer.. he claims he still has the 6 packs. i reckon he's got a 12 pack which has disintegrated & became a 6 packed big stomach bone!
 dah penat exercise & briskwalk, kita makan icecream!!

bargain hunter

saturday morning i took aisyah & aida to Leicester, met up with Eva who took us to the staff shop at Next HQ.  thanks Eva for meeting us at the station, took us shopping, then back to her house for lunch and drove us to the station again.

its been ages since we last went shopping berbuntil buntil at Next. kalau tak dulu, pantang Next summer/winter sale aja, maka both kamar & i akan terpacak depan pintu Next at wee hours in the morning to grab the kids clothing.


sampai notts, singgah H&M pulak to get baju raya for my 3 little anak saudara - najla', adam & arif. anak2 saudara yg dah besar panjang tu, sorry lah ya! i must admit i couldnt resist buying for girls and i ended up buying few pieces (lots) for Najla'.
