Completely Random Bits Of My Life

When There Are Flowers, There Are… July 27, 2009

Hello! What’s a blog for if not to write details about your personal life right? Was a bit shocked after got linked on Facebook by XXXX. Just in case you’re his friend who is still visiting this site… sorry to tell you that you won’t be getting a lot of BA /fitness related stuff here (if you expect that). I usually don’t write that much about my gym life here. :P Just to briefly tell how life has been since BA — I haven’t started team-teaching / shadow-ing. :P

After the torturous 2 day training, I went back to dancing and Body Combat with a vengeance! OMG, how much I’ve missed dancing and Body Combat! My instructors also miss seeing my siao face (perasan!), but most of them are so kind… they have heard about my training and have been congratulating me for being able to complete it. Even instructors who I have known since I was signed up with Fitness First congratulate me… in a way, they have seen me “grown” from being a newbie who was so intrigued by Group-X classes to … whatever I am now. Hahaha.

This doesn’t mean I have forsaken or forgotten about Body Attack… of course not! I just wanted to give myself a break. But then my friends all started team teaching / shadowing sooooooo quickly. I started to panic and I asked Hazrin what’s the rush. Got dateline ka? And he said most people who take more than 2 weeks to start team teaching usually wind up not doing anything in the end. Zomg! I quickly asked him if I could shadow him next week. Kekeke.

Meanwhile, I will start to train in the office gym again for technique correction (follow book and look at the mirror… no one else to “correct” me unless I call up ***** to train with him), and then do more cardio and weight training to increase strength and stamina. The other day, I was just randomly working out on the machines when suddenly this personal trainer started correcting me and all that. No doubt I appreciate his help, and he was very nice about it. He even said that he’ll give me free personal training session to help me. Haih… I don’t want to get sucked in to buying PT sessions again. -___-” Actually, I wish that I can train with my colleague who is really into this bodybuilding kinda stuff, but he goes to myFitness… so inconvenient to train. Besides I know he’s a “Lone Ranger” type at the gym. I will be a pest to him!

Anyway, I’m really worried about myself. I don’t think I can shadow / team teach for long cos if I do it next week, by August 12 I will be gone for holiday til end of August. When I come back, I will require at least another week to get my stamina back (pls do not ask me to be training during holiday. Even if I could train, it won’t be hardcore and my friend will kill me for dragging him on exercising spree). So it’ll be at LEAST 2nd week of September before I can continue again. T__T But I’m looking forward to shadow / TT because I am getting pumped up about BA again. Very pumped up! Want to share my energy with others!

 


This week, I couldn’t do shadow / TT or support my friends who are on stage (really want to support them… I’m sure they are nervous, and a friendly face is welcomed right!) because my friends and I had already planned a trip to Bukit Tinggi this weekend. So funny, whenever I tell my colleagues / friends that I’m going to Bukit Tinggi, they say, “Bukit Tinggi? Why? You going to Fitness First there?” -____-” Haiyoh, if I want to go to FF, why would I go to the one in Klang?! Super inconvenient right!

 

Anyway, it’s actually a holiday resort in Pahang (actually, just about 1.5 hours from Subang), high up in the hills. It’s developed by Berjaya Resorts and they make it a holiday destination by building a French-inspired resort up there (dubbed Colmar Tropicale) and a Japanese-inspired tea house and botanical gardens. I went there about 3 years back? I don’t remember much about it, but the place has barely changed since then. Last time, it was just a day trip, this time, my friend Iza got a free room in the Colmar Tropicale resorts so we spent the night there as well. Had fun with my gal pals – Fuzzy, Dull and Iza Pizza. Haven’t seen each other for sooooo long because each of us had our own things going on. At least we had ample time to talk and catch up with each other’s life this weekend. :)

Road tripppppppp!!!!! Dull was shouting at me to not stick any limbs out of the car!

Actually, I don’t have many pictures with me at the moment because … the camera ran out of battery halfway through. (Which made Dull smirk, “Now you regret taking those crap pictures earlier right?” Probably referring to pictures like the one above.) The ironic part was that I brought two cameras with me because I thought that I had half battery life left on each, so add that together and you get one whole right? But my Lumix actually had zero battery life left.. so that’s that. And Fuzzy’s camera also ran out of battery halfway through. Ditto for Iza. Hahahaha! But it was ok lah. We got a lot of funny pictures in Colmar Tropicale and there wasn’t much to see in the botanical gardens because there wasn’t much flowers in bloom. Actually, a lot of the plants looked like they were dead / dying of thirst. I was also spending a lot of my time running away from moths / butterflies. T___T The climb around the botanical gardens is actually pretty steep, but wasn’t as difficult as I remembered it to be. Dull kept saying that one could get a cardiac arrest there. Drama queen. ;) Fuzz and I enjoyed ourselves camwhoring every step of the way.

Finally arrived! Thanks to Dull for driving us all the way there and back!

Colmar Tropicale.

The drawbridge.

Walking around the resort… still cooling in the morning and with lots of lush greenery.

Swan pond. Two black swans and two white ones.

Swan shaking its ass at me. Got nicer pics in friend’s camera…

Me, Iza and Fuzzy… taking pictures with the flowers. Too bad the morning glories don’t look as glorious in the pic, sigh!

Wah, looks like I’m seducing Dull here. She was actually laughing at me… forgot why! She’s always laughing at me. Boo hoo hoo~

Breakfast here! The pastries are awesomeeeeeeee. Pricey to eat here though. Pricey, but not to the point of ridiculousness. More food pictures in next blog entries.

Wonder if I’ll ever get to take a picture of the real thing?

View from the tower… which is only a 3 flights-of-stairs climb. However, only Fuzz and I went up! Grrr…. elevator konked out that day, so Iza and Dull remain ground-bound.

Fazlynn, myself.

Which picture is nicer? One was candid and one wasn’t. No need to tell which is which since it’s so obvious, haha.

Fuzz thought I was about to commit suicide.

Lobby of the hotel… we stayed at the “Fuschia” block. The blocks are all named after flowers, from Azalea to Heliconia. :D Sounds so high school…


Our knight in shining armour… hands off him biotch!

Bonjour, mademoiselle!

Iza, Dull and Fuzz on the shuttle ride to the Japanese gardens. Seriously, this shuttle has amazing horse power, lol.

At the Japanese tea house. Practicing my ninjutsu, currently only an expert at sexy no jutsu. ;P

Fuzz and I with the mousetail plant.

Guess who I met there! So random! Yee Hou! But he went off to Genting after that… hahaha. Really a small world right? While driving up to Bukit Tinggi, Iza saw her cousin as well. Is this place where everyone goes to to “get away from it all”? :P


Didn’t really drink much that night because we were so tired from walking all around and for Dull, she had to work night shifts and didn’t sleep at all because she insisted on driving us up. We spent most of the time eating snacks and watching romantic comedies (courtesy of Iza and her portable DVD player… apparently she has 3 DVD players wtf). Watched Definitely, Maybe which had the uber handsome Ryan Reynolds and gorgeous Isla Fischer. Next was What Happens in Vegas which is actually SUPER idiotic (what would one expect from an Ashton Kutcher show, hmph). And just this morning, we watched Because I Said So, which is yet another romantic comedy starring Mandy Moore. T____T Sigh, what a weekend.

Okay, work starts tomorrow! Both computer programming work and gym work! Gotta pump it up!
