botanically petrified

took the entire sec two kids to botanical gardens for day 2 of their sexuality education workshop. my colleagues had a gd time ribbing me about how they will be learning about the bird and the bees literally. but the program was such that day 2 was the amazing race around the garden to show the kids how to have fun with friends without the urge to indulge in sex. HAHA!

somehow i dont ever think some of my unmarried constantly humping hamsap friends would choose to run around the garden over a romp in the bed, anytime of the day.

but back to botanical gardens. yes, we had in all 15 stations and 15 groups. we had 4 hours to complete the entire game. my station was at the evolution garden where they had to find a bird's nest fern, take a picture of it and showed it to me before i gave them the next clue to the next station.

anyhow, out of the entire 4 hours, only ONE team came to my station. APPARENTLY, some of the groups did not participate in the game and was lepaking somewhere for the time to pass. so tercengak lah aku sorang-sorang bawah pokok. btw, at the evolution garden, you can see many Petrified Trees. Actual specimens of trees from the jurassic era which have been fossilised and turned into stone! its damn cool. apparently, (from what the signs marking said) these ancient trees sometimes were covered in mudslide which are rich in calcium carbonate. because the trees are porous, they absorbed the calcium carbonate and eventually slowly turning into stone!

i wish i could steal one petrified tree and turn it into a bench. lawa gila. one side is a tree, the other side is a marble-like rock.

anyhow, after the supposed 'amazing race' aka sexuality workshop, went back to school and went to yoga. almost fainted during the class. all i see was the room swimming around and black dots dancing infront of my eyes.

told the instructor that i want out and his look could have killed me on the spot. he whispered back fiercely, "hang in there. if you dont feel well, just lie down in child pose. dont give up and leave."

i ended up continuing with the remainder of the poses as i was too afraid of falling sick or leaving the room! garang!

after the lesson, he came up to me and started asking if i was feeling better and why i was not feeling well. told him i was fasting and he was quite amazed. said something like its excellent way of detoxtifying the body by fasting and doing hot room yoga. he was more impressed to know that i gave birth 14 weeks ago and now attends his lessons religiously twice weekly.

hah! take that! i am not a weakling hokay! i was fasting. that shows determination and grit. LOL. more like wanting to look slimmer for raya actually! but my instructor doesnt have to know that la.

the husband and every single member of his family will be down in singapore tomoro. his step-sister and her new husband will be joining us as well. the last time i saw the step-sister was 3 years ago. so it will be quite a reunion. i am just hoping this raya, they wont be so much drama and power struggle as to which parent gets which day of raya with the children.

anyhow, tomoro, the maid and i will be baking cupcakes and cookies for raya to give away to the in-laws. hope to blog a few more times before raya to wish some wonderful people online.

have a great weekend yall.
