Actually, it's hardly called a move, I just shifted exactly 11 doors down from where I used to live. But anyways, 11 or 101 doors, it involved lots of packing, loading, unloading and unpacking. This time around, I was determined to have a more cosy looking room. I shopped for lots of ideas from Ikea and also browsed through the volumes of interior design http://themouthmarathon.blogspot.com/2010/02/room-makeover.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ohkulala)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354620984632128772.post-6900817450753407961Sat, 27 Feb 2010 12:05:00 +00002010-02-27T20:12:05.914+08:00musicOne of my most favourite class at gym is Body Balance. The first few times of class had me really pushing myself very hard to stay balanced. I had the "shivering" legs and knees, which of course the instructor said was part of learning.

She was smack in the middle of the road and neighbours grouped around to admire her. She must have been afraid or still shaky because she didn’t budge even when cars honked her. And no wonder she attracted a crowd, she looks really cute.

It is always the case of not really having the time to do this, at my leisure.

This trip was a real adventure, from sleeping in a small tiny hotel (which was kinda haunted), to having seafood 5 days straight for lunch AND dinner (oh no, my cholesterol levels!), sitting 6 hours in a van to get to the provinces till our bodies ache, lugging around the luggage bags, laptops and files, the language barrier which was more funny thanhttp://themouthmarathon.blogspot.com/2009/07/vietnam-travel-adventure.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ohkulala)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354620984632128772.post-17754964133675828Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:28:00 +00002009-06-30T08:18:37.637+08:00kvetchThe last week has got me gritting my teeth with people who are just plainly blind and oblivious to simple, basic, manners.
