Keep moving…

victory

…I am so inspired I woke up with a very active brain. The people I met, activities and events I attended, books I read and things I saw are giving a lot of inspirations. I feel so much alive to keep myself heading towards my goals.

To kick start my action plan, I will spend my holidays with making a harem pants with the new fabric I bought a few days ago and a baby belly bag (rice bag) – I don’t know the name of it yet for a friend of mine, a grandma soon to be. There are a few more things in the list but, mum’s the word until I got them done. I don’t wanna jinx it. ๐Ÿ˜›

Waking up early is not as tough as before anymore. Trying to be as discipline as I could, my morning routine will be wake up without pushing the snooze button. That is one.ย  Two, pray and chant. Three, geared up and to the park I go. Walk, jog and stretch. I love stretching with the equipments we have in the park. Just be a little creative and have fun with them. I am loving every single thing around me and my every morning!

In conjunction with the National Day, there is a festival called Vintage Festival in Stadium Merdeka starting from the 28th of August to 1st of September. This is my first time consigning my GOPAKO pants.ย My sincere thanks to Shakirah for this golden opportunity for me to learn. I am really happy about it that my pants and some products are out there physically displayed. Go check out booth number 17, by Hey Summer. You will get to see nice stuffs there.

After meeting with Shakirah, of course it’s the time to feast !! Abner and I had our lunch at Petaling Street – Sang Har Ying Yeong and Beef Hor Fun. We went to check out some fabric stores. It’s motivating as always. And without fail spending moolah, I bought a fabric back for harem pants, a 250g packet of chestnut and end with a nice cup of coffee.

Honestly, I am loving my everyday. ๐Ÿ™‚

Wishing you all a lovely and wonderful day. ~ Melle

Good Morning…

… today is my 8th 7.5k steps walking. Yes, I am getting myself back on track with morning walk and jog sometimes, depending on my condition. I will end my session with 15-30 mins stretching, including a few yoga poses.

As usual, I spend my own sweet time stretching and enjoy the beautiful sound of the birds chirping. Then comes Virabhadrasana I (Warrior I) pose which is one of the exercises. As I lift my head up to finalize the pose, I saw these beautiful leaves from a tree. It has been sheltering and giving me fresh air during my entire stretching session. Silly me, how can I not notice this earlier?

It is so beautiful and from now on, this is going to be my favorite spot for my morning stretching. I am grateful to God for the beauty of nature.

I wish you all a beautiful Tuesday. ~Melle

The Color Run…

color_run

… yay!! The happiest 5k run on earth is here in Malaysia and I am missing it so much already. Waking up early like 5:00 am is a tough thing to do… blerk. I must be over excited, I woke up at 4:45am. ๐Ÿ™‚ And because that I have to drive on my own to Lake Gardens, I decided to leave home at 5:45am just in case if I lost my way or couldn’t get a parking space. As always, Waze is my best navigator.

Upon reaching the place, the entrance was blocked. In fact a number ofย  entrances were blocked. A few U-turns I have made and still couldn’t access to the car park area. It is so near and yet so far. Best thing was I ended up in Jalan Ipoh. Oh. My. God. Panic!

In my final U-turn where I have no idea at all where the hell I was, I saw people crossing the road and walking in groups. Cars in long queue heading towards Jalan Parlimen. I was at ease knowing that I am at the right way. Not long after, I managed to park my car and lastly, joined my friends. Phew~

Music started cranking up loud. People start warming up and cheering. Happening-nya. I likey!! ๐Ÿ™‚ Flag off at 7am and here we go get COLORED!!

We were colored in yellow in our 1st km. Followed by orange in the 2nd km, blue 3rd, red 4th and purple last. Viola~ rainbow!

Why the happiest 5km run? Because it’s not a race run. You walk or jog with your friends and enjoy the moment together taking selfie or groufie or wefies, you name it. Throwing colored powder on each other and have FUN!! So cute. So much fun!!

It is awesome to have fun like a child! I want more of this. ๐Ÿ™‚ I am looking forward to the next fun run with my friends and loved ones!

Cheers, Melle.
