I read New Idea, Hello, Woman's Day and occasionally when I'm at Nail Boutique ( doing the obvious pedicure and maciure) I read Cleo, Her World etc.
Now you may not know this, but I've been drawn to Jo Malone's scented candles as it's nearly always featured in Hello magazine in the pages towards the end after the recipes ( which I do read despite not cooking these days)
So finally Jo Malone has arrived in Malaysia. Their store is at Pavillion where the Tangs used to be. WHoooopeee. I found it on Sunday and the girl ( Shikin I think her name was ) was friendly and helpful and I layered many perfumes to test and got very excited with the different smells.
I want!

Curry Puffs
I've been calorie counting with this brilliant new ap and it's been keeping me very aware of what crap I've been stuffing into self. A good example would be today.We had a meeting this afternoon. Which meant food served for us to eat. My usual quota would be at least two curry puffs and depending on the length of the meeting possibly three.
1 curry puff = 190 calories
1 slice of chiffon cake 97 calories
Our total intake for the day 1200 calories.
And we wonder why we never lose weight.

Flowers from mum's garden
This picture was taken the year before last. During the Christmas break when it was very nice and sunny and we got out the paddle pool and I blew like a trumpet for many many minutes risking pneumothorax and other undesirable illness just so we could bob about in the water.
Here are some things the 6 year old niece said. ( This year)
1. Why can't papa afford to live in Malaysia?
2. When I grow up and work and can choose where I work I will get married and live in Malaysia
3. Let's play the "versus" game..."B" V S "G" ( translation in context of badminton between her dad and I...boy versus girl) Whilst her mum looks on.
4. Her ambulance siren goes NEE NOOH rather than Mee Mooh
5. In reply to her father's statement that he will attempt to jog to lose weight...she said " Mah khor ( that's me ) jogs and she doesn't lose weight. RRrrrrr
6. When she misbehaved and her papa and I decided to ignore her " MAma...your husband and his sister are bullweeing me "

Exercise!
I look like this tomato right now. Red and sweaty. Did my second 5 km for today. I really must do something about running 10km in a stretch.
Time for a shower a quick change into jim jams and ONE hour of violin practice without my mute. ( Neighbours...I apologise in advance but I have a certain level to achieve and FAST)

Shovel list!
Okay I'm sure you thinking what is a "shovel list"? Borrowed by Marian Keye's latest ( see two posts before this) it's a list of things you hate. Here's one for today...shoe laces that come undone while you are running at full speed on the treadmill and cannot stop.
Mask for softer whiter skin!
I look pretty much like this currently having peeled off the wrapping and gingerly opened the white mushy tissue soaked with soya Q10 and everything else that promises to make my wrinkles go away. ( Easy cos I don't have wrinkles yet) This is prophylaxis I think.It's now ( the mushy tissue) stuck on my face so I can't do much apart from surf the net.
The mystery of Mercy Close
I used to be a great fan of Marian Keyes. Then the last two books were difficult to complete so I went off her for a year. Due to the rather stupid resolution not to buy any new books until I've read ALL my books...I found self re-reading Keyes and liking her all over again.
Her latest creation is very nice. Fast pace with Irish humour thrown in at regular intervals. Speaking of Irish authors....Cecelia Ahern's latest book wasn't so nice.
Practice Mute
I've misplaced my mute. And after the long christmas break every day that passes makes it less likely that I should remember where I put it. In the meantime...I have two possible options
1. Buy a new one.
1a. Plastic
1b.metal
2. look again

Thosai!!!
This post is related to the previous one. Just a quick mention 1 thosai is equivalent to 91 calories. I had 182 calories for dinner.
Things I did today
The obvious thing would be the one related to this picture. Which is bible class the first for this year. I missed the last 3 ( okay make that 4 since I shouldn't lie too much)
Next on the list is calorie counting. Depressing. My HOU showed me this app on iphone which counts the calories of things you eat.
Something like nike+ and getting nikefuel. Anyway, looking at the calorie count of most things I eat was depressing. I'l rather take a drug to increase my metabolic rate ( thyroxine I hear you say?) then look at dishes and see number of calories.
The other things which I plan to do ( haven't done it yet) is get that hour long violin practise for the day. ( mini-resolution to appease my poor teacher)
I jogged ( since it's quite obvious the joys of jogging I shan't bore you with details.)

To help me in my Violin Exam
Am taking grade 7 violin exam this year. Oh boy! It sounds scary even as I type it out. WHy? Because this means loads of regular dedicated practice to achieve a reasonable standard to be able to walk in and play and hope to pass.
One hour of practice five days a week?
Someone wrote 195 hours.
Let's get started on hour number one...( right after my jog on the treadmill) Yes I'm trying to collect another medal...DOUBLE shot

Longchamp bag cupcakes!!
This picture is so cute...I want this for my birthday:) I got 4 more bags from Hongkong. It's an addiction I know:) Decided to buy a big foldable longchamp luggage bag.
Here i what I like about La pliage
1. It's foldable ( hence the name)
2. The colours are vast
3. I think its classless
4. It comes in different sizes big enough for bible/ipad/ipod/macbook in whatever combination and permutation. So tell me..what's not to like about it...really!!!
