Happy Valentines Day!

Yesterday, Ivan and I met up with Dharmain, Devan, Ben and Lorraine at TGIF's in Sunway Pyramid. THe initial plan was to have dinner there and then go to Rainforest for dinner. In the end, we ended up hanging out in TGIF until they closed.

It was fun. We havent hung out in a long time and I haven't seen Devan since my wedding in 2007!!! So it was good to meet up and hangout again like the good old days. Too bad dear Jason couldn't make it.

Loraine and I started out with huge frozen margaritas - Melonberry flavor which was pretty good. Then we moved on to a couple of tequila shots and then mojitos. Ivan had 4 beers and got a bit high.. he made the night quite fun with his funny stories and nonsense talks :-)

Biggest mistake I made, I sat for almost 4 hours - only getting up once to go to the ladies. Even with the pain, I just pushed it aside. So what happens? Well, today is Valentines Day and I have absolutely spoilt my darling's surprise for me... Why? My back pain today was even worse! I almost passed out this morning dragging myself to the bathroom. The pain was so intense and it spread down my right leg. When I tried to walk, of course I have to use my right leg, I saw stars... It was pretty pretty bad.. ! I called hubby (who was on his way back from Slim River) crying! I just kept praying and asking GOD for his Strength and Healing. I managed to drag myself downstairs and just stuffed a slice of the daging salai so that i could down my meds. The painkillers helped a bit - thank God!

So anyway, Mama and Rayna came over. Rayna had to take pictures for an audition for some ad so Ivan took the pictures for her. It was quite funny seeing her carrying Mama! After a couple of hours, we went out for lunch. We went to this new Japanese restaurant, Rakuzen in SS15. There are 4 Jap restaurants in a row - I have no idea how they make business with such stiff competition! Anyway, it was a good choice. The food was good and even the desserts were good. I had to stand a few times because of the pain but I made it through.

After that, Ivan dropped Mama and I off at the chiropractors while he and Rayna went to Carrefour. Gosh.. after the first 30 minutes of the treatment, getting off the bed was torture. Mama had to help me up and the pain was so bad again. I had to hold on to the wall as I slowly inched my way to the doctors room... and there the torture continued. Doctor Andre had to adjust my back and press on my sore areas... I literally screamed a few times!

Doc says I have to stay off my feet and lie down and rest my back so he has told me that I have to stay home the next few days - so I wont be going to work on Monday and Tuesday... sigh.. I have so much to do!!! :-( He said the fact that I have been going to work, sitting in chairs for long hours and going out has of course delayed the healing...yeah I know I am an idiot!

So anyway, I have to stay put the next few days - well tomorrow Im going to mamas house to spend the night - it will be a bit easier for me because its a condo so everything is nearby... easier than me having to come down the stairs and then I cant go up after that again to lie down.

Will do my work at home - thank God for laptops!!! Gosh... I hate this! I really really have to lose a lot of weight so that I can stop going through all this. Poor Ivan wanted to take me out tonight but instead we just ordered Dominos... sigh... He is really upset with me.. not because plans are spoilt but because I am not taking care of myself.. Well he is right... And I really need to do something about it!
