The longest walk home!

Last week, I had a little light-bulb moment of what to do with my time. So I decided that it has been a long overdue for me to go back and do some exercise. I hate sports with all my heart and soul. I am the kind of person who would easily trip herself with her own foot (or even over nothing!). Ever since I was little I am far away from being a sporty person. BUT, there is ONE, one sport that I love: swimming! And I thought, 'why don't I start going to the gym and swim once a week? That wouldn't hurt, right?'.

Well, today, I went. I was glad the pool was not crowded, but I did have some blind moments (yes, I can't see without my glasses that well). Anyway, I have to say I was feeling nervous about it, but I went in. I did 5 laps (not continuously) (on a 33m pool) with a lot of struggles. I was quickly tired and running out of breath. Seriously, I think I need to take a swimming 101 lesson again! But I am glad I did it!

After that, I showered and walked home. I never felt like what I felt while I was walking before. I felt that my body was like a jelly and had no energy left in it. I had to take it easy, could not rush. That was the longest walk home for me, though it was only 10 minutes away, it was tough. On top of that... it only took 10 minutes of that walk to start feeling the sores and aches all over my body. Oh dearie old me...

That really shows that I should have exercised (aka swim) regularly not just from now. I am hoping I can do this weekly from now on. I am pretty sure it won't be as bad as today.

Happy mid week, people! Hope you have a blessed week. :)

    Aku juga 'gak suka sport, tapi yg basah2 alias berenang suka banget!!! Pindah ke sini ampir 3 taun aku 'gak sentuh kolam renang. Pas pertama berbasah2 ria, alamak saban 25 meter aku mesti brenti ngos2an, 'gak mampu aku nyampe target normalku. Tapi kali ke 3 udah aman, 1km non stop lagi.
    Sekarang nambah setidaknya kalo cuaca bagus jalan kaki 5km bareng Owen. Ke pusat desa trus balik lagi ke rumah. Pas pertama kali jalan, halaah.. pulangnya aku benar2 terkapar di sofa!!! :)) Sekarang sih masih ngos2san kalo jalan 5km, tapi jauh lebih stabil.
    So, pelan2 aja, ntar balik sendiri staminanya.

T uesday, 29th August 2006 has became a special day for both Lan and I. Why? Well... let me tell you the story. Around five in the afternoon, Lan rang me telling me not to cook, because he will treat me for dinner. So I just waited with no thought of what will happen afterward. In the middle of me watching Marrying a Mafia , my phone rang again. It was Lan, saying that he is outside the entrance door of the hall I live. It was about six o'clock. I quickly paused the movie, grabbed my keys and ran to open the door for him. When I met him at the door, he was formally clothed and holding a bouquet of roses (and a plastic bag). I was surprised... for him to buy me a bouquet of roses in United Kingdom was the first time, I don't ask for it, because I know flowers are quite expensive here. Suspicion came to me for awhile along with the question 'what is he up to this time?!' . But I quickly brushed it off thinking that maybe he was just being nice since we only have several d...

A khirnya ludes sudah kertas lipat yang dikirim mamiku dalam jangka waktu kurang dari seminggu! Sayangnya jumlahnya kurang, jadinya botolku hanya terisi separuh. *Ada yang mau nyumbang ngirim? Karena aku tahu di sini tidak ada yang jual kertas lipat yang seperti itu, adanya yang bujur sangkar saja* So, here is the picture. Gak terlalu jelas sih, tapi ya kanggo lah ya hehe... Tak terasa sudah 2/3 dari liburanku terlewati, tugas belum semuanya tuntas, tapi mata terasa penat karena harus membaca banyak jurnal dan buku tebal untuk mencari data... *sob* Jadi minggu depan, bakal full time doing homework deh! Tadi *jumat* aku bereksperimen di dapur. Bikin brownies... belum aku coba sih rasanya bagaimana kue yang baru keluar dari oven itu, tapi waktu mengaduk adonan, rasanya sudah pas. Aku bikin kue dalam rangka ultah si Lan tanggal 13 kemarin. Kebetulan dia sudah kembali dari Cambridge, jadi besok aku akan berkunjung ke tempatnya dengan membawa kue brownies dan hadiah ulang tahunnya . Semog...
