With my car temporarily out of commission, the mundane task of grocery shopping and buying food became a good workout. Walking to the supermarket and eateries each day not only fulfilled my practical needs but also allowed me to soak up the sun’s rays. As a result, my limbs and face sport a charming bronze tan, a testament to the resilience and determination that led me through the unforgiving heat. The daily walks to the shops also had an unexpected benefit – my arms grew firmer from lugging bags of groceries back to my condo, a feat that left me feeling stronger and more accomplished.
Hubby’s central kitchen had an abundance of delectable dishes from the daily catering events, sparing MIL and me from the usual cooking routine. From delicious chicken rendang to chicken Kuzi and an array of cakes and kuih, each meal was a celebration of flavors. And a celebration of being spared from cooking and cleaning up a greasy kitchen 😄
Just as I had adjusted to my car-less routine, Sunday brought a welcome surprise – the return of my trusty vehicle. The sense of freedom and convenience it provided was a stark reminder of the role it plays in my daily life. With my car back in action, I could once again navigate the city’s roads with ease and embrace the comfort of my familiar ride. However, I still walk to the shops in the mornings or evenings instead of driving the car, just to soak up some Vitamin D, have a good sweat out, and fulfill my daily minimum of 10,000 steps.
Amidst the everyday adventures, there were also moments of personal milestones. A visit to Cass’ high school on Saturday morning to collect her report card revealed her impressive academic progress, while also highlighting areas for growth.
The weekend took an extravagant turn with a birthday dinner at The Ming Room, Bangsar Shopping Centre on Saturday night, where we gathered to honor hubby’s aunt on her 70th birthday. The opulent spread featured delicacies like double-boiled whole abalone soup with fish maw, roast Iberico pork ribs, steamed Soon Hock fish, and longevity birthday noodles with prawns, a feast that tantalized the taste buds and created lasting memories.
From daily walks under the sun and lugging heavy groceries to indulgent feasts and collecting report card, the past week has been a whirlwind of diverse adventures.
