Worthwhile Fatigue

Having fun two days in a row...now I'm feeling the after effect of all the moveabout activities.  Feeling fatigue and tired.  My skin, the sunburnt is getting from bad to worst.  My facial skin are highly affected by the UV ray.  The skin are starting to peel out and it's pretty unsightly, it feels rough like a pangolin.  Slept the entire Monday afternoon after returning from school (extra class).  Had a light lunch of toast, Omega half boiled eggs and milk.  Ah Boy's mum went to dreamland instead of Mars.  No Martians kidnap her.  She's safely tugged in bed under her comforter. 

  

Movie

The three of us went for a movie last night.  A Disney production entitled “Mars need Mom” ..  [click here to watch but reminder it's the spoiler]

This movie is a Sci-Fic , computer-animated kinda movie.  Guess..the last time, I watched a Computer animated movie was Toy Story 2 or was it Transformer !!  Hmm…am really outdated in this kind of genre.  Am not a fan or follower of the latest hits on the silver screen.  No time to catch up with the fast moving trend.  Lost touch with the youngters thingy….!!

Life begins at 40…that’s the reason why we’re back into this fun.  Gotta bring the generation gap closer to Ah Boy.  Moreover, we don’t wanna be so left behind.  Of course, we wouldn't want Ah Boy to label us as outdated or old fashioned.  As a result, we decided to follow the wind, blend into the youngters' mind.  Ain’t no “katak under the coconut shell”.  So what wrong.with ‘auncle & aunty holding hands walking down the aisle of the cineplex”..?  Munching popcorns and slurping Coke.  No weirdo, no funny!  Uncle aunty just wanna have fun too.  Haha…..

We loved the movie esp Ah Boy.  We watched the movie with full attention.  If the producer could have reduce some of  the action moves and chaos.. …too noisy for a fussy viewer like yours truly.  The noisy bing bang and explosion…not soothing to my ears.  Also no good for my pair of eardrums. LOL….

First time watching a 3D movie.  The characters sometimes moved close to my face as if they's coming right into you.  So real yet imagination..or simply the effect of dimentional views.  Pretty intrigued. The specs..initially was a bit uncomfortable with it.  Looking a bit awkward wearing two glasses.  (Luckily the entire place was dark and the room wasn’t packed..no one sitting nearby)  I wore the 3D specs over my normal specs.  My eyesight was really bad that I need to wear it all the time. Shy….

On the other hand, Ah boy looked handsome on his specs.      

Back to the story line.  Hmmm…Don’t intend to be a spoiler.  More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Needs_Moms

One our way home, while in the car…kept reminding Ah Boy to imagine losing his mummy dear to the Martians.  What if the Martians really do come tonight to kidnap his mummy ?  How’s he gonna survive without mummy? 

All these questions were actually meant for Ah Boy to appreciate dear mummy for her sacrifices.  Hmmmm….deep inside, I just wanted him to remember and cherish me when I’m old and immobile (hopefully NOT) when old….Ahhhhh.. not anticipating my golden years but can’t run away from it..rite !!!! 

There’s a strong message in that movie

Kudos to it’s producer ~ Simon Wells.

Sunburnt

We wished to take a dip at water theme park to celebrate the start of the 1st term holidays.  Where to..?  Tambun Lost World, Bukit Merah or The Carnival SP ?  After much discussion among us, Ah Boy suggested Bukit Merah, giving the reason ~ nearest. 

Today, we spent half a day at Bukit Merah Laketown Water Theme Park.  We drove down south, pull over at Jawi for a sumptious Dim Sum. 

Reached destination around 11am.  Changed into proper attire and off we got ourselves WET.  Fun..exciting ..indulging ourselves in the many activities.   

The weather was quite humid around noon.  The sun shoned mercilessly at us.  Basking under the scorching sun for good 4 hours has a price to pay !  My skin especially on my cheeks and arms are burnt.  They're reddish now and it may turn into some ugly tan in a couple of days.  Could feel the inflammation sensation on my skin now.   OUCH..

Although I did apply a generous amount of sunblock b4 getting into the water but my skin still burnt!!  Regretted for neglecting my skin. I did not take any precaution like long sleeves shirt with my swimming suit or have a straw hat covering my head......!  My face looked like tomatoes....sigh...!!!!  I had taken my skin for granted today.  Hopefully, my skin doesn't peel off like a snake tomorrow. 

As a home remedy, I applied lots of aloe vera gel (pure, natural) from my lil garden.  It soothes the discomfort on my skin. 
Also did the same for Ah Boy and Him.

Did not take any photos as it's inconvenient to bring camera at the pool. 

2 Minute Mee

Many a times, I need to resort to this MSG infested thingy because it's the simplest, quickest and best of all..hassle free.  Back from school at 4pm- too late for lunch but too early for dinner.  Such hour, it's difficult to get chicken rice (fresh ones) and neither do they offer nice economy rice.  I don't fancy char kway teow or any other mee at the nearest hawker centre.  Forget about McD and KFC.  Therefore, the best I could get was Ann's secret ingredient noodles.  

The many version of my 2 minute noodle.....




With lots of tomatoes

With mixed veggie

With spinach, tomatoes and onions

With egg, tomatoes, cabbage
