Finally managed to attend my first yoga class for year 2005! Unfortunately, our instructor will be leaving and today was his last class with us…=( Furthermore, we all received letters from the yoga class management that we are supposed to finish all outstanding classes by 28 February 2005. The thing is that we bought a package of 25 lessons and at the time of purchase, we asked and were told that there is no expiry date…which was the main reason why we bought 25 lessons at one go in the first place! Naturally, I was furious when I read the letter and when I checked the calendar, the only we could’ve finished 25 classes was if we attended one every Sunday which was impossible cause there would definitely be times when we won’t be able to go! So Eric and I were prepared to argue our case after the class today…but the lady running the place wasn’t there. Don’t like having unresolved ‘issues’…it’s very bothersome. Anyways, if they are adamant about not compensating us in some way, I’m going to publish the name of the shop here in big bold letters and discourage anyone from ever going there again….! Hmppph. So there.

The afternoon was spent finishing up Still Thinking Of You by Adele Parks. I found the characters pretty shallow, and the story just sorta like skimmed over the 8 characters without giving much details. Some characters were given rather fickle minds in the story and while it was an OK read, I don’t think I’ll be buying anymore books from this author in the near future.

I’ve just started on The Five People You Meet In Heaven, just the first 5 pages or so…looks pretty promising so far.

Chinese New Year is just around the corner…well, exactly one month away. And it’s the whole routine of reunion dinners and visiting relatives again. How absolutely dreary. Over the years, I’ve sadly come to dread Chinese New Year. I hate being dragged out of KL (especially when it’s so empty and quiet…no jams, no queues for movie tickets…!!), get stuck in never-ending traffic jams and super-hot weather, visiting and making small talk with people that I see only once a year….it’s only a short period but it feels like a decade filled with nothing by utter boredom. Given a choice, I would like to spend time with my parents….but only them and not with people that truly won’t miss me if I’m not there. And that’s the truth! Does it REALLY matter if I don’t go? I doubt my presence will be missed. I bet my parents was secretly glad when I got married cause the burden of hearing me whine about CNY was shifted to my dear (and suffering) hubby! Sigh. If not for my parents not being around during CNY when I was in uni, that would’ve easily been the best (three) Chinese New Year(s) that I’ve experienced! Sigh…and I can already imagine all the questions that will inevitably pop up:

“When are you planning to have kids?”. Oh, I’m pregnant with triplets now!

“Do you know how to cook? Do you cook for Eric?”. No I don’t and he cooks for me. Ha.

“Do you do the housework?”. Of course not. And dirty my hands?

Ha bloody ha.

Truly…all I want to do is stay at home and enjoy the public holiday and do what I want to do at home…eat, watch DVDs, surf net, sleep…in the comfort of my own home.

Anyways…moving on…

The wedding last night was fun…pics are up here! And the seating arrangement was just superb. Everyone on our table knew someone else on the same table. Genuis!

The weekend has just gone by so quickly. It’s already the second week of January, though it feels like it’s the middle of the year at work. Monday blues again tomorrow…I think I wouldn’t be so grumpy in the morning if work started at say…12 noon? Just in time for lunch too…goodie! Am really not a morning person. Or maybe I’m just not a work person. That’s probably it. Though the days when I’m sick and stuck at home, I find it so incredibly boring. One can only watch that many dvds. Speaking of which…am planning to get the whole set of Sex And The City…it really is a great show, one that you can watch over and over again without getting bored cause the characters are so interesting and the dialog is just absolutely witty! I also love hearing Carrie’s comments and observations and the way the screenwriters play with the words.

Have decided to give titles to all my posts….it’s just too boring with the dates and for the life of me, I can’t remember what I wrote on a particular date…so off I go and a happy speedy monday to all of you!
