Friends

I attempted to do a work out this morning. I picked some of the exercises from my strength training book which targeted my thighs and butt and I also tried some shoulder and back exercises with my resistance band. I wasn't feeling great though after only having a little sleep so it was hard work.

I had all these great intentions to get things done today but instead I pretty much spent most of the day on the couch. I guess staying up to 2am had really knocked me around.

Finally at 2pm I decided to get moving. I got dressed and walked over to KLCC. I had a look in a few stores for some things for Ross before heading up to Harrods to meet Kiki and Rimma for afternoon tea. We were the only ones in the dining room for a long time and it was great to just sit and chat with the girls while we enjoyed our afternoon tea. The scones were excellent!

I left Rimma and Kiki about 5 andd went upstairs to buy a gift for Julia from Royal Selangor. I also picked up a few groceries before walking home. I watched American Idol and some of Glee before Julia rang to say that she and her friend Pat were on their way in a taxi to pick me up. We were heading to Mee King Fat for dinner - a Chinese restaurant that is popular with a lot of expats.

We had bought some wine with us and ordered plenty of food including a special Chinese New Year salad which included raw jellyfish. Everyone had to take turns mixing the salad as it is said to bring good luck. It was actually really tasty. The other food we ordered - butter prawns, beef satay and pork ribs - was good too.

We sat for hours just chatting and despite Julia saying that she had to leave by 10.30, we stayed until 1.30am and got through 4 bottles of wine! We caught a taxi home and the girls dropped me off before heading home themselves. I sat up and watched some TV before I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at 2.30 and stumbled to bed where I promptly fell into unconsciousness.
