The Sunday Times VI: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

September 30, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

Wake me up when September ends, you say? Well… the time has come!

Tomorrow marks not only the start of a new week, but a start of a new month as well.

 

Yup, it's OCTOBER! *throws confetti* 

Anyway, my week has been a very pleasant & busy one. I was back in Penang for a few days to visit my folks. 

 

Outfit of the day!

 

If you're wondering if I'm dressed more smartly & corporately than usual, I am.

Mom and I attended a High-Tea buffet event at G-Hotel organized by The Star. Full of who's who in the business & corporate world, mom hinted that I should probably dress the part as well. LOL!

 

We had delicious sweet and savoury high-tea meals in a platter on our table.

My fave was the mussels served in a spoon! They were so juicy 

 

And then we did some shopping at the adjacent Gurney Plaza right after. Just like old times.

It's one of those mother-daughter things we used to do, back when I didn't move out of home yet.

 

Having a good night's sleep with my Lavender essential oil from The Body Shop after I returned to KL

Mom somehow got me into the whole aromatherapy burning thing again.

 

It's quality times like this, that I miss immensely about home. I guess home is always where he heart is.

We must not forget that while we're busy growing up, our parents are growing old as well

 

Okay, enough nostalgia. On to the more adreanalin-pumping, body-rocking stuff, hey? 

 

Did Monday's routine at the gym in our clubhouse, Bukit Jambul Country Club Penang

 

Imparted some fitness tips to mom too. She's a great gym partner – at 50, mind you!

I swear, when I hit half a century, imma be as fit – if not fitter than – she is. Hats off to this lady I call my mother!

 

Burning approximately 500 calories after my cardio & workout routines kinda gives me the munchies.

I have a knack of indulging in VERY sinful food as well. But no matter, at least I burn them off almost everday.

 

Triple Cheese Mozzarella Garlic Naan from Murni @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

 

You think that's bad?

Wait till you see this. Oh and if you care, I'm also eating a rich Chocolate Fudge cake now as we speak.

 

It's the Double Down by KFC!!

 

Yup, it's here… it's finally here! The KFC Zinger Double Down 

BoyfieKon and I ate this in Australia sometime last year. I think I might dedicate a blogpost to this! :P

 

One of my godsistas came over to hang out & spent a couple of days with me.

Guess what we did apart from having dinners, doing our assignments and shisha-ing?

 

I brought her….. to the gym LOL

 

Part of Thursday's routine

 

This week, I am thankful for my cat. 

My prized possession. My bundle of joy. My forever-attention-seeking fluffball. My affectionate little boy.

 

No, he is not at all as fierce as he looks. He wouldn't even hurt a fly.

Chivas is the most docile cat I've ever known.

 

I guess babyChivas inherited those traits from his purebred Ragamuffiin/Ragdoll mother 

If I ain't wrong, that breed is well-known for their innate characteristics of having a very placid temperament.

 

Confused babyChivas as to where I'm taking him LOL

 

Brought him to the vet for his usual check-up.

Gotta make sure my boy hasn't got any dysfunctional illness or caught any diseases from anywhere!

 

Look at the new Witch Hat scratch post mommy & daddy bought for you! 

 

Came across this while surfing the web. Caught my attention and reduced me to giggles,

I can already think of a number of people whom can relate to this haha! 

 

 

Yup… better not marry someone like that.

Lest you have kids that go..

 

LOLOLOLOLOL

 

If you're a gamer and feel the need to smash my head on your grime-filled keyboard and sweat-laden mouse after reading this, don't. You won't score any points or go to the next level if you kill me. 

Obviously, I was joking. I've dated a few gamers before in my life & they're pretty cool, nonetheless.

 

On Friday, I caught sight of a very exciting yet dreamy-like spectacle in the night sky. :D

As I live on the highest floor of my condominium, I was lucky enough to have the kaleidoscope of colours and fireworks in my direct line of vision.

 

 

I honestly wondered though, what's the occasion on the 28th September ?

NO FREAKIN' CLUE. 

 

So pretty! I just couldn't stop spamming my shutter button!

 

Check out this pretty cute song by a Swedish artist.

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS6wfWu0JvA&feature=player_detailpage

Song of the week! Lykke Li – I Follow Rivers

 

 Although it is very unlikely of me to actually fancy an Indie Pop song like this, this is an exception. It was introduced to me by one of my French buddies. Stuck in my head since then! :D

 

Today is boyfieKon's birthday! We had a splendid celebration 

I bought him an Arnold Palmer wallet and double-buckled belt. Gave it to him at the stroke of midnight!

 

Could tell that he absolutely loved it! :D I'm glad.

Plus, he has this uncanny liking towards the smell of fresh, new 100% leather. LOL

 

Headed to The Apartment-cum-Malones in The Curve for a simple birthday lunch.

 

Outfit of the day! American Invasion 

 

The birthday boy had Jamie's Duck Pasta Fettucine 

I had Grilled Chicken with Creme Fraiche, Spinach with Dill Mash *highly recommended!*

Wouldn't recommend the Chicken & Mushroom Pasta Spaghetti that Pam ordered as it was rather bland to her

 

We finished off (or rather, started!) with the Chocolate Brownie

I'd have it again, it was that good! 

 

At night, we adjourned to our table-for-two affair

BoyfieKon & I proceeded to Concorde Hotel KL for the birthday dinner which I planned secretly just for him.

 

Outfit of the night!

Drew a little inspiration from Playboy Bunny

 

Last year, we celebrated his birthday in a full Playboy Bunny & Suit Up party in Melbourne!

So… that kinda explains why I wanted to re-live a little of last year's moments. 

 

Ordered their best-selling Chocolate Fudge cake & had GANGNAM BUFDAY KON deliberately written on it

 

It's an inside joke.

 

Dinner was simply marvellous. I cannot thank Concorde Hotel KL enough for our wonderful evening 

 *full blogpost coming soon!*

 

That marks the end of my seven days this week. What does October have in store for me?

October? Geez. I dread to be reminded that it's already October. That's two more months till the end of the year.


How time flies, right? Are you any closer to completing those New Year Resolutions already?

If not, you better get your arse moving. You only have approximately 90 more days to achieve that. 

 

Heading off to the gym now, dear readers

 

HAVE A GANGNAM WEEK AHEAD OF YOU!

 

Oh, did you know that Psy's Oppa Gangnam Style has hit the Number 1 spot in the UK Billboard Top 100, making it the first in Asian music history?  Now you do 

 

Much love,

Jessicat

The Sunday Times V : Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

September 23, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

Hellooooo dear readers! How's your week been so far?

7 days of sweat and toil at your workplace? Or 7 days of hard-pressed studying & assignments?

 

Whatever it is, hope you guys tackled it with a big wide smile!

This week has been pretty intense for me; I've had back-to-back trainings everyday to prepare me physically and mentally for my very first marathon!

 

 

Did my routine of strength, endurance and high intensity interval running at Celebrity Fitness

 

The ground WILL tremor beneath your strength, people! So push your boundaries and work that body!

 

A good friend of mine, Ken, shared this quote with me and I took an instant liking to it!

Decided to make it my motto of the week

 

On lazy days or rainy days (LOL excuses) I'd just go to the gym at my condominium pool!

 

Since I'm back in Penang for the weekend, I dragged mom & kakak to Bukit Dumbar to accompany me

And obviously to get them up and going too! No life is sedentary with me around :D:D

Ran 7KM in 45 minutes. I wonder how long tomorrow's session will take?

 

Got the latest Adipure 360 Born for the Gym sports sneakers!

Thanks Adidas Malaysia for these lovely pair of versatile gym shoes 

 

Decked in Adidas from top to toe on the day of their official launch party! 

(Full blogpost coming soon!)

 

Found this on Tumblr and couldn't agree more :)

 

Outfit of the day. Feeling a tad sporty one afternoon!

 

Anyway, apart from my vigorous trainings and running practices, I've been up to heaps of other stuff.

I gotta eat, too! I can now afford to eat like a starving pig – believe me, I have a voracious appetite! – because I constantly burn almost 500 calories everytime I work out. So, no worries! 

 

One I'd always recommend, time and time again –

The Dragon Roll from Sushi Zanmai is my absolute fave. Made with tempura prawns, avocado & roe!

 

 

Made a healthy dinner of Chicken & Vegetable Stew! 

All the protein & fibre I need to get me going

 

 

My current favorite morning bites which always gets me on the move!

A hot cuppa coffee + cornflakes with all natural yoghurt & a dollop of honey

 

 

Caught up with my Greek friend Jason as he is transiting/visiting KL before he goes back to Australia!

Why not bring the two Greek boys out for dinner + shisha at Herris @ Damansara Perdana

 

Had a great time catching up with Jason. Talked about everything and anything under the sun!

When we were eating, a filming crew shot footages of us eating, for a local program called 'Jalan-jalan Cari Makan'. So you might see me on TV when its aired LOL! 

 

 

Sent my car for a thorough carwash, polish & vacuum (finally!) at the neighbourhood petrol station

Now, even a single piece of litter in my car gets me in a frenzy. OCD time haha

 

Amazing how these petrol station/carwash boys only charge 4 bucks per car wash and an additional 2 bucks for interior vacuuming. That's real cheap, seriously. I know it's not rocket science to wash a car, but surely it isn't only worth 4 bucks?

They do a pretty good job too though!

 

Not going to tell you which petrol station, because the queue is long enough hahahahaha!

Don't wanna recommend and have to wait even longer ;(;( 

(But if you really, really wanna know you can always ask me la)

 

I can't wait to watch Hotel Transylvania!

Had always been a fan of freaky cartoons & Tim Burton-ish kinda movies

 

 

Found this and got so enamoured by the progress humankind has made over the years!

 

 

The shopaholic in me strikes again! Love this rugged pair of brass-buckled leather heels from Pedro. 

I know I can always trust Pedro for their exquisite quality of shoes 

 

As crazy as I am over high-heels (I have 35 pairs altogether, no, I cannot believe myself either LOL!), my love for pumped-up kicks & sneakers alike knows no bounds. 

I turn to the casual, street-style when I feel like kicking back on lazy afternoons!

 

My new pair of Playboy high-top sneakers!

Major, major love for them. It's studded and the Playboy Bunny has diamante blings for its eyes 

 

And no, just so you know, I'm not a crazy shoe lady 

I'm just a caterpillar with too many feet, hence needing many, many shoes 

 

 

Updated my iPhone software the all-new iOS6! Go update yours too!

It's heaps smoother & I can't stop listening to all the new podcasts I've downloaded 

 

Oooh I'm back in Penang for the weekend!

It's daddy's birthday so yes, here I am back at home to celebrate with the family.

 

Happy 52nd Birthday, daddy-o! 

 

Mom ordered giant freshly baked crabs during the birthday dinner!

I recommend Teluk Kumbar Seafood place for amazingly fresh & quality seafood 

 

Randomly, I just noticed how "unskilled" I am in eating crabs – that's the only reason why I don't eat crabs often! I will often end up wasting a good crab all because I'm dreadful at peeling the crab or knowing just where all the hidden meat are. :/

Watching mom's sleight of hand while cracking, breaking and twisting out the crab meat from the crab made my jaw drop. I guess she's a more pro seafood person than I am hahaha!

 

Thanks boyfieKon for sending me a piccie of babyChivas whilst I'm away!

Was beginning to miss my mischievous little ball of fluff

 

That's all for this week! Will be back in KL on Tuesday for a meeting and to continue the rest of my week.

Have a wonderful seven days ahead. Don't forget to ALWAYS stay fit & eat healthy too!

 

That being said, remember to drink 7 litres of water everyday

Listen to your body, it is powerful 

 

Much love,

Jessicat
