Exciting days are approaching!

Its has been a while since the last time I've updated my blog. There are so many things to write about!
First of all, out of no reason, and on my three children's request, they developed this sudden urge for cake, not ordinary cake, but the ones with cartoon characters on it. I have no idea how or why did they suddenly felt the need for it. So,
Of all the cartoon characters, my wife had to get the most irritating character of all, Sponge Bob! Notice the missing feet? That's because "someone" couldn't resist and took a bite out of it! While Isabelle and Natalie watches Sponge Bob, Leonidas looked at the cake with a weird look on his face, wondering what is this hideous looking thing!
"That has got to be the ugliest looking "thing" I ever seen!"
This year, Natalie is three years old. We enrolled her for kindergarten which Isabelle previously attended. As usual, every year during graduation, the kindergarten would organize a concert performed by the students, starting from the youngest, then to the oldest.
Natalie had to dress up like Minnie Mouse and perform to the song "Hey Mickey".
Was it just me or is that an upset looking face?........over the costume?
My three year old!!!! Previous few years was Isabelle performing while Natalie would be sitting excitingly watching the older sister performing. Now it's vice versa.
In just 2 years time, this guy will be in kindergarten. Precocious little Leonidas who goes "bang bang and piao piao" (pretending to shoot at me) each time he sees me, and i have to to act silly and play along by dropping my bag and lie on the floor as if being shot.
Whenever I need to get our groceries, there are times when we feel rather lazy to drive all the way to 1Utama, so we'll head to Desa Park City instead. You know how there are times when to promote how good a product is, they would associate it with your health, there are times when they try to convince the gullible consumers. But there are times when they don't get their facts right and ended up contradicting themselves?
Like this for example....
I agree the fact that watermelon may be highly nutritious. Do they know what is a diuretics? Diuretics are chemical that enhances dehydration by removing water from the body through urination, Eg. Diuretics being used in congestive heart failure to alleviate the burden on the heart and to prevent accumulation of excessive fluids in the lungs.
It states that it's high water content is great for "rehydration?"---I think it should be dehydration!!!
Ok, forget about this.
Now, as I am trying to get back in shape, I've been lifting weights 2 hours every day, and managed to increased my muscle tone and bulk now. But I think I am overdoing it. It felt like drug. I tend to get withdrawals and "something" amiss if I don't exercise even for a day, or if I start late in exercising.
Then once I get back home at 9pm, i would spend quality time with my children, put them to sleep, then go for my 20 km bicycling at 11.30pm!
Ladies and gentleman, may i present to you my grossly overpriced bicycle.
This is my RM3800 mountain bike. I actually went to the shop to get a second opinion and ask how much on average would a mountain bike cost? "You can get one from RM500" My jaw dropped! "Then the high end ones would cost around RM1500" I nearly fainted! But I told him I got mine for RM3800!!! I was relieved when he told me probably because I got a double geared bike which is used in jungle cycling for hardcore bicycling. That would cost easily that much. I felt much better as I thought I was cheated!
The Trek 3700, the same brand of bike the world champion Lance Armstrong rode during his 7 years reign as the world champion. I did some research on Wikipedia and went to Trek.com and realized that this bike is fully imported. They produced the world lightest bicycle in the world weighing only 1.26kg. And since my headlight went "kaput" after the battery leaked and spoiled the components inside, my dear wife got me a new headlights. How sweet of her.
When I bought the bicycle, that guy knew there ain't no jungle in KL for me to go jungle tracking on my bike, so why the heck did he sell me a "for jungle riding bicycle"?
A double geared bike specifically designed for jungle riding. I should have done my research and do more survey before purchasing the bike.
I didn't know whether the shop keeper was bullshitting me or what when he told me the bike is made from titanium. Yes! Titanium, the material used to make the space shuttle! I did some research and i found out there are custom made bicycle made by titanium which is 6 times stronger than steel but a lot lighter.
Well, remember my previous post where I wrote about attending Jacky Cheung's 2 previous concert with my wife? Well, he will be coming again this December, and guess what!!!???
I got the tickets for it. And this time, it's at the VVIP section, on the second row!!!!!
My friend bought the tickets, but later on found out he couldn't attend the concert as she needs to fly to US with her hubby. So, we got it from her! All I can say is......"Hooooooooooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!"
