While watching my kids performed during the rehearsal as well as the actual event and service during my church's 50th anniversary celebrations over the long weekend, I must said we have a thing or more to learn from them. Without any stage fright, they just come onto the stage and did what the church teachers had taught them to a beautiful singing and dancing performances. Unlike us adults, we tend to at least if not more, some stage fright before a social event. Definitely, they never think so much and just go out and do what they have learned, even though they may make a mistake or two.  

It was a busy weekend as after the rehearsal and the actual event, we drove off to the malls and reached home late. Though it was fun attending events as well as going around, we finally had a rest day on Sunday and we only went out for an afternoon coffee break. I truly enjoyed my church's service and celebration very much but it's also nice to wind down on a lazy afternoon.

Mushroom soup for my kid ... strange he wanted to have soup in the late afternoon.... hahaha
It's been a while my little princess never ordered her strawberry short cake and there she is again...

I also had some as she can't finished all
My wifey and I shared these kaya toasts while we trying to finish up the kids' meal.

And, Americano for both of us
Have a good week!

Oh.. I have started working on my lower core while at the gym this evening. Well, after running the half-marathon as well as those long distance trainings, I realised my leg muscles especially the thighs and calf easily tired and ached after 10km-13km. Thus, I guess it's time I add in back the workout of my legs' muscles which I did three sets with 4 reps each for the thighs, calf and upper back leg muscles which includes the butt. hahaha... Well, the leg press is good for the butt and my upper back leg muscles. 

I didn't really workout my legs all along as I hurt my knee many years ago. And, in addition, I disliked working on my legs as years ago, when I workout with my personal instructor back then on my lower core, I usually ended up walking like a crab or Sadako from the Ring... hahaha.. The legs muscles are so tight and painful that I can't even walk properly.

I had a lamb chop to reward myself after the workout which also included 2 sets of shoulder and a 5KM run on the treadmill. It was good. I also did chest, biceps, triceps, abs and back workout last Monday with a 5KM run too on the treadmill as well as another 5KM run on Tuesday at the east coast park. It was a full body workout and it's really good while the Lamb chop was awesome and delicious! 



Looking forward to the Raya long weekend and spend time with my family, but before that, I have to brave the crowded causeway this evening after work. Wishing all my Muslim readers here a happy EID Mubarak! Stay safe on the roads! :)

It was pleasant last weekend as I took a day off last Friday to make up for the previous weekend for my family, as I was involved in the Sundown Half-Marathon in SG. Well, nothing grand but I did spend some nice quality time with the family, especially the kids. Friday is an off-day in Johor thus my kids enrichment classes are held on Fridays. I usually visited my little princess ballerina classes where I can watched her dance and train in her ballerina steps, as well as enjoying the air-cond. there and checking out some gorgeous moms and ballerina instructors.

However, last Friday I decided to ask my wifey to drop me off together with my kid at his badminton academy as I like to check on his progress. It's been three months since he joined the academy. To my surprise, he improved a lot and was practising his footwork, where when he first joined, he can't even hold a racket properly. It seems a very tough training for 2 hours and he finished his water bottle after an hour. Thus, I went out to grab a bottle of mineral water for him. Anyway, I guess all these physical training is good for his body and health, unlike his dad, yours truly, was a sickly child then.

After all the classes which starts and ends at the same time, we went to Stulang Laut for a bowl of Laksa. This was the first time I am here and I must say that their Laksa was very delicious as well as there are a lot of yong tau foo to choose.

Lots of stuffs to pick for the bowl of Laksa

Its located near to the Pasir Pelangi Istana, in Stulang. Just a few stores there and most are halal including this store.

Yummy... my hearty bowl of Laksa
