Yes, that combo makes for a great weekend!
Woke up early last Sat morning (I know, such sacrifice!) to make nasi lemak for brekkie. Got carried away at the excitement of finally knowing how to make sambal that I made 2 types of sambal for the nasi lemak....sambal udang and plain sambal (but spicier). Since I was excited over the fact that I managed to cook my first nasi lemak ever, I decided to invited lil’ sis and BIL (i.e. the Koalas) over for brekkie. I even fried some chicken for em’ (good thing I did since the first thing BIL asked when I called to invite em’ over for brekkie was “Is there fried chicken?” :P)

| Need to work on my presentation skills but who cares, the proof is in the pudding |
 |
| The Koalas with their "this better be good!" look. They are not morning people so for em' to come all the way for brekkie just to try my nasi lemak means a lot. |

After brekkie, went over to the Koalas pad to play Kinect and ended up playing every freaking game they had (yupp, pretty much schooled BIL in every game...BOOYAH!). Had to play at least 2 rounds of each game to prove to BIL that me winning was not a fluke (yes, that’s how bad BIL was losing....hahahah). At one point I even paused the game to change from my jeans into track pants for better flexibility! You know all those Kinect accidents that people seem to have and proudly posting em’ up on you tube? Well, if lil’ sis had a camera on me, my vid would prolly be up too. I got so carried away with the track and field game (I was freaking dominating the event!) that during the discus throw, I over spun and ended up spinning around in the living room, knocking my arm into the tall standing lamp thingy (thank God it didn’t fall over!) and then knocking into the coffee table and landing hard on it (miraculously there was nothing on the table at that time as normally there would be plates and glasses and random stuff). Oh and I found my niche....I KICK ASS AT THE JAVELIN THROW!! (I kick ass at everything actually but the javelin throw especially!) :D

 |
| Game face on |
 |
| Good try BIL but...... |
 |
| BOOYAH!!! Show no mercy |
 |

 |
| No shame in crying.....especially when losing to ME... :D |
 |
| Track and field |
 |
| On your marks....get set..... |
 |
| GO !!!!!! |
 |
| Need I say more? :D |
 |
| Lil' sis with her "my sis is so awesome!" look...haha |
 |
| Yupp, I wasn't kidding when I said we played every game, even this kiddie game which BIL bought for lil' sis but ended up playing it himself (it’s prolly the only game he’s good at...hahahah) |
 |
| How BIL got his groove back |
Later that night our cousins came over and we had a Kinect orientation night as BIL and I demonstrated every game. We ended up staying at the Koalas till 2 am playing Kinect. I swear if I had Kinect, I would prolly play it EVERYDAY as my form of exercise. Am even thinking of making it part of my weekend exercise plan by popping over to their pad every weekend (regardless of whether I’m invited or not..heh).
I did however have to pay the price the next day as I could hardly lift my arms over my head (which is a nuisance when it comes to trying to dress/undress). At one point I even had to ask Mi Madre to help pull my shirt over my head coz my arms were in so much pain. Fortunately all that pain didn’t stop me from the ATV Adventure I had planned that Sunday morning with friends.
 |
| Believe it or not, seeing this sign while driving to the ATV place only got me more excited! |
 |
| I normally think adverts are misleading but this one is true....I wanna go again! Any takers? |
After the awesome ATV adventure ride, we stopped for lunch at some Halal Indonesian Chinese Restaurant called Wong Solo and believe it or not, that was my first time ordering ayam penyet (Mi Amor loves ayam penyet but I have never really ordered it for myself since I’m not a chicken person). The ayam penyet was delish (I heard the ayam bakar is just as delish) and the only way the meal could have been perfect is if it was washed down with Jus Alpokat (Avocado Juice…..I know it sounds gross but trust me, it’s the BOMB!) but they were out of avocados :(
 |
| Trying to figure out what to drink..... |
 |
Aha...this sounds interesting! I know what you're wondering..."what kinda juice is THAT?!" Well, it's a mixture of 4 fruits (which I can't remember except for honeydew). Wanted to order this but they were out of honeydew :P |
Later in the evening (by this time the pain had spread from my arms all the way down to my legs) while laying on the sofa in front of the TV (TV is my form of painkiller), some delivery guy came to deliver a bouquet of flowers to me (with the way I was lying down and groaning on the sofa, he prolly thought that the flowers were meant as a “get well soon” gesture). Of coz the flowers were from none other than Mi Amor since it was our 10 month anniversary :D Of coz it goes without saying that I LOVE the flowers (receiving flowers is always a nice surprise) but what I love more than the flowers is the personal message that comes with it (oh and also the ‘other’ message which I’m sure wasn’t meant for me was also kinda cute....heh)
 |
| See what I mean by the 'other' message? : ) |
All in all, I may have been in pain that weekend...but I was happy and contented. Sighhhh....I want more weekends like this (minus the pain).
