the test result was a negative

 I'm not pregnant! 

YEY!

I think the stress is slowly creeping up on me. Things are gonna change real quick real fast...........I am slightly worried if I cannot cope. Nah.....I got this!

I was sitting out with Ali Imran during his science class today coz they had to talk about materials. His teachers are so committed but he's just not very expressive so he looked bored and I had to tell him to speak up a little and show what he was doing. I think I'm gonna have to do this more coz I don't know if he's actually present during class hours.

I was also monitoring Safiyya tracing lines to help practise writing letters. 

Holy smokes,she was asking me about Medusa today so I showed her some pictures of Medusa and gave her a little background information about the Greek mythological creature. I personally like Medusa but some photos online spooked Safiyya out a little.

Then, for some reason we kinda moved on to Googly Eyed Octopus.....

After that, we were looking at Dumbo Octopuses........

And after that, the Vampire Squid.......

I think I should go to sleep.........but OMNIA is on and I really like this song.........

she's so pretty and she's so sure

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone.......

 It's been quite a weekend. We discovered last week that in order to get banking done these days, you gotta make an appointment using what ever numbering system the banks use. So, what could have been done on Friday last week had to be done this morning. I was lucky that the lady upfront at the customer service department and the security guard were both so very helpful. A little downside to the bank that I was at is that because it is a small local branch, there were no waiting room inside and therefore I had to wait outside. It was 9am so the sun was really hot. The damn thermometer in the bank went off coz I was hot........HAHAHA! 

Geddit! HAWT!

Anywho, because we were early, Shu parked the car right up front so I went in the car to cool down and tried the thermometer again. This is a problem if you're outside in the hot sun and suddenly inside where it is air-conditioned. Well, at least I got done what I needed to get done. The people at the bank are so helpful. Actually, a lot of people have been very helpful. I'm a noob who hasn't stepped foot outside in a while.........I'd still order coffee from a cafe and have it to-go -_-

This one time, I did that coz it's automatic and the lady at the counter told me that dining-in is not allowed so it has to be a takeout :)

I used to hate that stupid thermometer where you'd have to get real close to get your temperature taken coz I didn't want to get too close to it that I could touch it...........

June is coming to an end and I am running out of time. We are running out of time. I need to get a lot done before the month is over. 

Shu's birthday is coming up. Also, our season pass is expiring soon.........

I am so nervous.........

Shu's sister finally gave birth to her twins today

 It was a planned cesarean so it was quick. Her babies are big and healthy 😊

Safiyya built a fort from the sofa today and she's been in it all day. Shu had to migrate her fort to her room coz we're all going to bed.

I think I am coming down with something. I think it was too cold last night. It's been raining late in the afternoons.

If things go according to plan, major changes are bound to happen in the next few months. I can't speak of it just yet but it makes me feel both nervous and excited at the same time.

I've been doing a lot trial-and-error with the drill set I got a few months ago. We have a lot of shells and Safiyya wants me to make her jewelries and I'm trying to make her a wind chime. I've broken a few shells and ruined a couple of drill bits along the way.

Things would be so much easier if I could stop hurting myself! I burnt my finger(s) the other day. Prior to that, I cut myself from using the serrated knife 😑 

Today is one of those days

 When you've done your workout and feel like you died and you just know that you are going to be in so much pain in the morning 😁

If my grandma was still alive, we'd be celebrating her birthday today........ 

Just like the seed , I'm chasing the wonder

 Shu and I were having coffee after lunch today and had a talk about the things that annoy him about people in general. He said that lately, he seems to be surrounded by people who complain and whine a lot. When they were working and busy and had a hectic schedule, they were complaining and whining and now that everyone's got more free time, instead of looking for a hobby or just finding useful things to do, they have more time to complain and whine.

I think they just need an outlet. It's like blogging. It's an outlet and a place for me to let out emotions in the form of words. I don't mean to harm anyone in any way and I feel like they feel the same when they complain or whine...........or rant.........

Shu's just annoyed coz he too had plans that didn't turn out the way he wanted them to but he just kept it to himself. I'd usually talk to him or write or blog about things that bothers me. I think they need an outlet. Getting a hobby is a really good start. But again, I like to write out wherever and whenever and it's therapeutic. I highly recommend it ^_^ 

I've also noticed how people have a lot to say about a lot of things but most of the time, it's just comments and nothing more. The slight problem is that they like to say it out loud as if it makes a difference at all. Again, I cannot stress this enough already. DO something PRODUCTIVE even if it is a comment or a remark or a personal opinion. Be progressive and productive. Also, dream a little. It really helps to just plan out a huge dream that seems impossible to do but until you try to do something about it, it's not gonna get you anywhere.

Things change and plans sometimes doesn't work out the way you want them to but I am pretty sure you have other plans too. Have multiple plans! Shu and I are both dreamers and we spend a lot of time talking to each other about what we'd like to achieve someday and we are opened to suggestions from each other regardless if it sounds impossible. 

Today was our 11th year anniversary of being married

 Shu got us food from Shangri-la KL and desserts and coffee from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. We got dressed and even Safiyya had her makeup done 😊

It's been 11 years! And we've known each other for almost 20 years! Crazy how time flies. We have new adventures set up for us and there will be new challenges. The kids are old enough for new challenges. I think they can handle it 😉

I know that Michelle Branch's All You Wanted had always been our song but this song had always reflected how I feel about you ❤️ I love you, Foxburr-San! 

Can you say DELICIOSO?

 Who's that super cool exploradora?

Qarim got married on Monday afternoon. He got a call from the authorities to get it done before the lockdown coz who knows when they'd be able to get married after this. He and Izreen agreed to get it done and now they are married. It's actually not a complicated thing to get done but people like to complicate things. Shu and I told my mom so many times over that if you don't spend so much on the wedding, they can save all that money to start their life together.

Once again, I have managed to keep myself awake at night by thinking and overthinking unnecessary things like Rosie the Shark. Why? I don't know. It started with curiosity, I guess.

Anywho, Shu said that my workout posture is getting better these days. I really was working on my core strength all this while. I wanted to stay toned and maintained a certain body weight. I'm happy where I am today. I think I managed to lose about 5kg since March 2020. 

I have new projects to work on during this lockdown so I hope I am occupied enough. Shu and I have been jamming to the Power Rangers theme song. I'm gonna just say this though..........I don't know how Hetfield plays the riffs and sings without losing the tempo. Shu's guitar solos have improved so much over a period of just months. He plays Justin Hawkins' solos for God's sake! I'll upload it onto my IG jamming page once we are confident enough to record it ^_^ 

The studio is a mess. It usually reflects the state of my mind but I just can't seem to be bothered enough to get it cleaned up. I really need to rearrange this space badly!

Woke up today and Shu told me my friend's mom passed away

 She was battling Covid in Serdang hospital. Her dad recovered though. I asked her about the burial procedures and she said it was done accordingly. The saddest part is that my friend lives in the south and her parents and family are here in KL. She said she's OK. I hope she is. I hope her family is OK too.
