Liberation and relief ;)
WHAT A RELIEF!!! Trial exams are over and we now have a two week break in order =) Tho yeah technically theres atill AS finals to worry about... but I'm definitely thankful that things are going to slow down a lil'. The trials have been harrowing but I believe I've done considerably better compared to my first sem exams...
Immediately after the final paper on Friday my coursemates and I, with Ernie in tow, hit RedBox at The Curve!! It's been ages and ages since I've gone karaoke-ing... and this was the first time I've gone with my college mates. It was loads of fun... and damn la Yvonne and Nisha couldn't come!!!! Tsk aiyo... next time la I guess... I didn't manage to take any pics as my camera phone couldn't pick up any images in the dark setting... so whoever that has pics, as usual, I'll be waiting for someone to upload! ^^
On Saturday hung out with Michelle and Su Fen, my besties from highschool. ^^ Been ages and ages since we all hung out together like this and it really brought back memories of old times together... It's been especially long since I've heard anything from Su Fen either as she was in Penang for three months for industrial training and we dont exactly see each other on a regular basis... And I actually couldn't believe Su Fen clicked back and read all my blog posts she missed in her 3 months away!!! Awwwww..... *touched* So much to catch up on and I can't believe I actually allowed myself to forget how much I loved just sitting with them both talking about anything and everything... how we'd sort-of intterupt each other here there and everywhere and somehow come back to the topic once again... lol. I love you two the most. Will always be that way. =)
I realised something.... three of us have never taken a picture of the three of us together. Ever. I guess thats something I must keep in mind the next time we hang together. Hehe.
Oh and on Saturday Ernie walked from 1U to the Curve to come see me for awhile, and then back to 1U again. Awww.... seriously.... I don't know where in the world am I supposed to find another guy like that...
On Sunday my parents took my paternal grandmother out for dinner to celebrate her 80th birthday belatedly. Mom told me to call Ernie along, and we went to Port Klang for seafood... mmm the only place I actually eat hor chien or fried oyster ommelette. Must be the freshness cos everywhere else the smell just gets to me. It rained on the way there, but am glad it stopped when we got there so we were able to take a walk along the coastline.
Then I went home and got sick =.= Maybe it was a build-up kinda thing cos I've not been well for the past few days beginning Friday... along with all that going-out and eating junk-food and not getting enough fluids... I guess my body just had it that Sunday and I was getting really paranoid cos there was a photoshoot to attend the following day, so Kimmie saw to an early night, praying for the best...
So on Monday... yesterday... I tore myself out of bed at 7am still feeling like shit... sipped just a little water... I make it a point to fast for all my early shoots. Maybe thats why I was feeling very sloppy and ugly for my Putrajaya shoots cos it was beginning 4pm and I don't have the willpower to fast that long. (Yes, Kimmie is a wimp...) Andrea from Women's Health and Beauty magazine picked me up from Energy Fitness at 10am+ and we headed to Myfitness in Seri Petaling to meet the photographer and layout designer.
By 12.30pm we were getting to work. The photographer, Damien was jovial and easy to work with. And there was also Victor, the adorable magazine layout designer who made me laugh so, so much when he attempted to carry the weights I was lifting... and failed. XD I was pretty much the director of the shoot... telling them what I was gonna do and what poses I will be taking on etc, and what equipment I will be needing. And I guess it's cos I was so caught up in doing what I loved best... being involved with anything related to the gym... that made me really enthusiastic, cheerful and geared to go. And I overheard Damien telling Victor that he was impressed with the way I was working so fast. That made my day big time =)
Apparently the magazine was going to do a new layout, which required them to employ the use of a huge screen for the shoots, and that was going to be a problem as the workout plans Ernie and I drew out for them involved a few machines which could not be moved onto the screen. Even with last-minute revising there was no way I could improvise as it would render the routines incomplete. But we completed the shoots that didn't involve the machines so quickly that we had more time to work at the set-ups for the machine shots. We wrapped up by 3pm. 6 months worth of pictures. Over 100 frames of photographs... 70 of which will be published. WHEW!!! Kimmie was STARVING!!!
And I guess that did it for me cos today I woke up entirely invalid and was sleeping for most of the day with a fever, sore-throat and the flu from hell. God I hate how I feel so weak... Still have to do a short write-up for the mag but I guess I'm gonna think about that later... x.x
If all goes well... pictures from my shoots.... which are actually for a 6-month series of workout programs done together by Ernie and myself... will be published in the May-October issues of Women's Health and Beauty Malaysia. =) Keeping fingers crossed!! Kimmie is hoping for the best.
Oh and before I sign off... The banner and sidebar link button I've been designing for the fitness forum, PROBUFFEDBODIES, where I also happen to be a moderator, has finally passed Terry's approval after weeks of editing and scrapping. YAY!!! The main logo on the forum was also created by yours truly. I offered to commission these link buttons as I thought it'd be great practice for my Photoshop-ing skills and besides... the forum IS in need of some seeeeerious publicity! Look out for them y'all around my Friendster and also on this blog, and don't forget to CLICK and show support to this new but growing community!! Kimmie has also changed the marquee on the bottom left of this corner to her bodybuilding mojo Power, Passion, Pride, Poise, PERFECTION. Tee-hee! ^^ Will be making other subtle changes here and there also... just learning to play with the html!
Nites... Kimmie is gonna go grab a big cheesy beef sandwich before she goes to bed... Who says being sick doesn't take the edge off your appetite????
