Yes, I feel terrible for not blogging yesterday. However, I do have a good reason why I didn't.
...Is "I'm tired" a good reason?
Yesterday was indeed a busy day. I'm still jet lag. There's a 4 hours change in my sleeping schedule. In other words, when everyone here in the middle-east are awake, the people from back home are probably fast asleep. I am definitely following the Malaysian time.
I also have not been feeling very well these past few days. Well, since I came to Oman. Whenever I get into a car and go for a ride, I get this really annoying headache and have this feeling of puking half of the time during the ride. It's really putting me off!! I mean the only transport to get to anywhere around here are cars. I cannot be sick when riding a car. I CANNOT! It's weird, because when I'm in Malaysia, riding a taxi, I feel fine. I wonder if it's because I'm homesick, or maybe I developed a sudden carsick sickness!! NOO!!
Fine, that was a bit too much. But still... Shopping malls here are not in any walking distance. I need to use a car to shop. Hmph! Screw this feeling of carsick!!
Back to reality, believe it or not, yesterday was a shopping-free day =) I enjoyed yesterday having lunch at the Bosch's family house with my mother and her friends. While my mom resides in Muscat, she and her friends joined Muscat Woman's fellowship. Apparently, she bought a ticket for me to join her. So I did. Usually, I find it very troublesome to go to these type of functions, since I'm really not interested in what the women of Muscat do during their free time. But yesterday, I thought Why not? I had nothing to lose AND it was also an excuse for me to dress up and try on my new clothes I bought.
It was very interesting. The Christmas Celebration Lucheon was held at The Bosch's Family House. There's a nice story behind the family.
..ahem..
Dr. Bosch came to Muscat about 50 years, when Muscat was nothing but sand, desert and dunes. There was practically nothing in Muscat; no water, no electricity, no ports... basically nothing. He was the only doctor that came to help with Muscat's growth.
During his stay, the Sultan's mother fell sick. Since Bosch was the only doctor available at that time. Sultan called for him and he took the role of being the Sultan's Mother's personal doctor. What an honour! And so he nursed Sultan's mother, took care of her, treated her and provided her with any help possible to keep the Sultan's mind in peace.
Afrer his retirement, Dr. Bosch received a gift from the Sultan himself. This was a thanks from the Sultan for taking care of his mother and for the services Bosch had contibuted during his stay.
Bosch now stays in a luxurious house, having he's own private beach, personal chef, personal driver etc. Yes, he's staying in that house with his wife, who is a teacher.
While his stay in Muscat, he also walked along the beaches of Muscat and collected varities of shells. He named two shells he discovered after his wife. So romantic!
The End.
My, what a life. He really does deserve all the good things the Sultan has offered. He had done SO much for the country.
While I was visiting the house and had lunch there. I was also playing with the camera I had recieved from my mother. The first one was the pink Olympus. I had problems taking picture with that camera. So I persuaded my mother to give me the silver Canon camera. And I did get it. Yea! It takes really really really great pictures.
I really ate a lot. A LOT. I've got proof!
Strawberry with chocolate mousse.
Perfect combo!
So I decided it was time to hit the G-Y-M. And gosh it felt GOOD to be in one. I pushed myself to the limit and jogged non-stop for 30 minutes. Usually I can't do that when I'm in school. After the jog, I went for a swim. It was good to swim again and wearing a bikini. The one piece swimmers makes my body feels so constricted. The jog was AMAZING. My body felt amazing after I had my shower at home and I was checking myself out in my mirror. Hehe.
May it be my friend for the this whole month!!
For the sake of the joy in EATING, I SHALL jog!!!
Damn.. not trying to be vain or anything but my body looked fit for a while. ONLY for a while. If I was a guy, I would so date me. Pfft Ha Ha. I'm just kidding. I look o.k. for my size. I do wish I could be a bit slimmer though.
I also had a universities-search-in-UK time with my daddy. That took almost the whole night, and we weren't even finish looking through all the universities. So much to look for, so little time.
I didn't have time to go on MSN, Facebook or Blogger. I was just too busy and too tired to bother with it all. However, I wasn't too tired to watch dvds I borrowed from the club yesterday. I borrowed 17 again and Push. Good movies. I mean I like it =)
Well, that was all yesterday. The past.
......................................................................................
Continuing with what happened today...
So basically I spent another shopping-free day. Gosh.. I don't know how I'm going to last if I don't get to buy another piece of clothing soon! I need a new BIKINI!!! My current bikini is a bit... small.
Today started off pretty early. I had to make a resident card. So I had to go through all these annoying procedure, which I don't feel like explaining cause it is a VERY boring story and a long one too. But, long story short, I had to go to this far away place, waited for more than 3 hours just to get the resident card. OMG! I would not want to go through that ever AGAIN!
After that, I went back to the apartment, thinking I would catch up on some sleep because I woke up so early, 6.30am. DAMN EARLY FOR ME! For anyone actually, who are now, should be on holiday. But I didn't sleep, I switched on mummy's laptop, connected the line, and just went on facebook, 4shared, my blog and other people's blog too. I did what any normal teenage girl would do to entertain herself, surfing on the internet&MUSIC.
I was SUPPOSE to go to gym today. However, after that intense exercise yesterday, my body felt super tired and I still feel lethargic from the lack of sleep and also due to the time difference. So I decided not to go last minute and just rest and watch T.V and eat. Yes. EAT. I love food. [Hence, the need to go exercising. So I can eat all I want, and still look good in clothes]
But today, didn't end so bad. I went to see my friends' performances and I absolutely LOVE it. The orchestra, the jazz band and the choir. I miss seeing high school students performing live and AMAZING! Bravo, student of TAISM, BRAVO!
It was good to catching up, but not so much though. My friend has exams this week and next week, so right now, she's kinda quarantine. Well, she wants to study and I understand. So I'm giving here space for a while. But I still have to tell her so many things. The OBS stories, the S2K stories, the ups and downs, the school.. EVERYTHING. I just can't wait =]
Anyways, I'm out. Feeling really sleepy now. Still suffer from the lack of sleep. I miss Malaysia. I miss the food and the atmosphere.
I can't wait till I'm in Dubai, maybe the atmosphere would be better. I do hope so.
I bought a new one.
