Working out time...

Guess what? Last Friday night I went for my first belly-dancing class!

YEP!!! You read it right - "B-E-L-L-Y-D-A-N-C-I-N-G"!

I have no excuse whatsoever NOT to join the class, because -

(i) It is held just two doors away from Mak's house in PJ.

(ii) It is held on Friday nights, 8:00pm - 9:15pm, i.e. during the kids' Kelas Mengaji (Hmmmm...what a dichotomy - kids mengaji, and Mommy goes belly dancing! HAHAHA!)

(iii) Ayah normally finishes his clinic after 9:00pm on Fridays anyway.

At least all of us will have our own thing to do during that time, and I would feel less guilty leaving the kids at home!

(iv) Ayah has given the green light - in fact he's encouraging me to go! (Hmmm...exclusive private performance on the agenda?! HAHAHA!)

(v) I am in dire need to join a fun but effective sweat-producing workout.

And it WAS FUN, and boy...did I sweat! It's not as easy as it looks, especially when you have to do a "double/triple hip"! Errr....the next day - I sakit pinggang... Hopefully after a few lessons my muscles would relax and I would be more agile, insya Allah.

I look forward to the next session, and I also hope to start going to CF again this week. The last time I went for a proper workout at the gym was in November 2006 - before leaving for my 7 months Newcastle stint! Horror...horror... Needless to say, I could feel the kilos coming back...(with a vengeance) Eherks...

Wish me luck, guys! I hope my will-power will carry me through...

Wassalam...

IQ, UQ, WeQ...

Thoughts recorded on February 23, 2007...


I was taking a break this afternoon (hmmm...I seem to be taking A LOT of breaks lately!) when I decided to try one of the IQ tests which you can get access to through the internet. I did one test which (I think) I attempted about 3-4 years ago, and I got the score of 136....(and I seem to remember getting a similar score the last time I did the same test). Anyway, does that mean that I am still smart (or stupid) as I was then?

Anyway, the score of 136 CANNOT be good - considering I don't even know what that score means?!LOL!!! And I just did not have the time to find out more about my score, but it did say that I am a "Visionary Planner" (or was it "Visionary Philosopher"?) Well...whatever! I don't need an IQ test to tell me how smart (or stupid?) I am. But, I know that I am SMART enough NOT to pay GBP9 to have my score interpreted and sent to me!

Anyway, I will probably get Ayah to do the same test and see how he does in it, then I can roughly gauge where I stand with my score. He'll probably get a score of 272 or something like that . Errr....Is that POSSIBLE? See how 'duuuuhhhhh' I am? Hahaha!

Okay...break over. To those who have been taking too long a break, wherever you are, GET BACK TO WORK, GUYS!
