More beaches

 I've got sunburn on my shoulders 😑

Today's trip was supposed to be a beach trip but we somehow ended up here and it's so beautiful and I was so happy to have gotten a room here........

The beach we planned to go to was right across the road....... 

It was a short day trip but the kids had fun. I skipped working out today coz this place took about an hour to get to........

I'm pretty good at it that I sometimes lose myself. 

I am here, not home but not somewhere unfamiliar. We just need a change of environment. A little bit of sun. A little humidity. A change of routine.

I'm still a little tired from the journey yesterday but I refused to miss my workout routine. So, I managed to get some sleep and late lunch and I was working out for about 20 minutes. I am pushing myself to stay on track with my diet and intermittent fasting but honestly, I'm not doing a very good job.

This isn't a complaint. I am blessed to be in a place where food is abundance and cheap. I see people happy just living their simple and happy lives.

I just wish that people have more sense to be more responsible towards the environment. At least the environment they borrow for free. Beaches are beautiful. Beaches are perfect for picnics. They just won't stay that way if you don't clean up your mess.

We used to think it was a generation problem. It's just a mentality problem. In the city. In small towns. In villages. There is no sense for just collecting your trash in just one place and take it with you until you have access to a proper disposal point.

It's frustrating enough to see trash washing up from the sea. You can't just leave your trash anywhere, really. It's fucking irresponsible. How inconsiderate and self-centered do you have to be to just think that someone will clean it up? Are you stupid? 

It's only the second day of October but I am pretty sure I've clocked about 8km in total

 

Yeah..... I joined another 5km virtual run. Only because Safiyya wanted a medal too and this cat medal is kinda cute. So, I decided to let her join in adding the kilometers to the run. She really liked my Pyramids of Giza 75km medal but she missed that boat.

I'm planning on joining another 42km run with Shu for my next Conqueror challenge. Gonna get Halloween out of the way first.

Oh yeah, we got our Ganbatte Malaysia virtual run medals and t-shirts the other day!

I'm usually not a big fan of the color blue but I kinda like how this tee is on me 😁

Took the kids to the Zoo yesterday afternoon. They had a blast. It was humid but there weren't many people coz it was a week day. 

Today, we decided to get up early and headed over to Old Town in Cyberjaya for breakfast. After that, we went to the park for a walk around the lake.

It was good. We walked a little over a kilometer. And we went to the other side of the lake on the never ending bridge over the swampy lake 😊

Suffocate me so my tears can be rain

I will water the ground where I stand

So the flowers can grow back again

Safiyya wanted to go to the playground in Cyberjaya and she wanted the ice-cream from the ice-cream man there so we stayed over at Le Meridien Putrajaya for 2 nights just so that we can be closer to the park. I also wanted to take the kids to Smiggle to get backpacks. 

This is our second time at this hotel in just a matter of a week. The kids love the hotel coz we took a connecting room. Shu and I need our privacy. Also both rooms have bathrooms with bathtubs. Coincidentally, I got some bath bombs from Lush so they coz to fizz away in glitter.

This time around, I brought my workout gear coz I don't like to skip my routines. The best part was when I decided to join the kids swimming at the pool downstairs. I managed to do laps. Later on, we came back to the room for lunch and then Yusuf had classes till about 4pm. I did a 20-minute workout routine. After that, we headed off to the park.

It's always nice to be back in Cyberjaya once in a while. Yusuf grew up there. Shu and I bought our first house there. Now, Safiyya loves the park. It was a good quick getaway. On the day we checked out, we decided to have lunch at El Cantina in Taman Melawati coz it's been a while since we've been there. Also, we managed to teach the kids a game of pool. It was fun.

Today, Shu and I decided to move some furnitures around the house and did some major cleaning. Also, today is my cardio workout day. I am tired!
