TEACAKES

music: duffy:mercy
mood: numb

I woke up this morning with the limbless feeling, Thanks to my personal trainer's over the top G.I.JANE inspired fitness programme! It's as if the whole pregnancy/labour she-bang isn't enough for a female species to deal with, then along comes societies dire n brutal demands to get back into tip top shape over nite ! Yup its a harsh harsh body conscious world out there and i am caught up in the race to go back to my uk size 8 form, i am almost there.. at the borderline.. i think 2 more months and i will be satisfied with all this wacked out workouts inshallah it all pays off .... goshhh...

Yesterday my twin sissies hit the Giant 3 0 ! Yup the dreaded 3 0 is not to far off the growth chart for me either ! garr makes me wonder would i truly feel like i was 30 when i do turn 30 in a few years ? I am already past midway of my twenties but i don't feel it for some surprising reason! when i was younger i'd always envision 20 -30 something peeps as oldies but know that i am classified into that agegroup i am like hey it's not so bad life it's still fun and i am still proactive with nonsensical activities lol so anyway to celebrate i spent all day baking pretty tea-cakes using the readymix pillsbury cocoa cake mix, vanilla frosting, red food colouring and pretty chocolate leaf lattice shapes for decoration! The end result was a delicious set of fuschia and bubblegum pink smothered frosting on dark chocolate tea cakes... V fattening eye candy but i did manage to swallow one down GUILTLESSLY! i still have a sugar rushh hehehehe!

Also, i attended the first screening of the New York METropolitan opera in the madinat Salome' captivated her audience but i've come to the conclusion that opera ain't my thing maybe when i hit my 40's and i actually feel 40 i shall appreciate this dying art lol...

I <3 MALDIVES

music: Mylo:emotion 98.6
mood: witty and whimsical

Its been forever since i've been craving to set foot on the sandy Maldivian shores but for some reason or the other plans change and it never happens.. But this time my dream came true and Gosh! how magical a dream it was more beautiful than i could ever have envisioned. The Island, The People, The food, the Music, The resort, The beach, The sun, the marine life, the speedboats! WOW WOW WOW! i've been blown away!!!

But the best of all was our magnifecent resort's witty and whimsical approach to everything the fantastic branding approach made the W RETREAT & SPA MALDIVES the most gorgeous hotel i've ever stayed in on any getaway! i mean the staff never greet you with the usual "how may i help you?" but instead its replaced with a "What do you WISH for?" oooh aaaaah how could we escape this miniscule fragment of paradise on earth sub7aan allah! I also went snorkelling for the first time in my life and managed to see a giant turtle, baby sharks, massive human size lobsters and fishies painted with all the colours of the rainbow!! Breathtaking under the surface and above the surface viewsss!

Nature's beauty surpasses all in these circuit of islands and considering its only a 4 hrs flight away i am gobsmacked by why i have overlooked this relaxing holiday destination for so long! The hubby and i are undergoing serious Maldives Syndrome we have mutually agreed that we need to replace this crazy stressful dubai city-life of ours with those azure skies, turquoise waters and tranquility minus the noise, traffic and pollution.

Take me bacccccck , i'll live the robinson crusoe lifestyle just like the LOST survivors and build meself a l'il house under a coconut palm tree .. just take me back to Male' Nowwwwwww.....

OOOh and a belated 3id mubaraaak to all of youu hope u gathered tons of 3idiya hehehehe!
