don't really know how to talk to wife

Jennifer:

I was very much a stay at home person - everyday at home was a playday when the boys were younger.

:hi5:

I did start to exercise since last March because of some drastic weight gain which scared me off my favourite couch. After reaching an exercise peak end of last year, I started to slow down again because of recurring knee pain, hip pain. Aiyo, I'm better off not exercising since I don't have these problems when I was a couch potato

Anyway, not renewing my gym membership and have since removed all cardio exercises like kickboxing and zumba. Now only intending to continue with ABT exercise classes twice a week since I'm taking classes together with dh.

Hey, I can't swim at all & can't jog at all (unless 50m counts).
But who cares :evil:

I am worse than you - cant swim, cant jog N cant cycle. Bugs my younger boy a lot bcos he wants to do the above but no kaki.

My elder boy told me cycling is fun after he went for cycling with his CCA club friends and the night cycle the school organised.

I am shocked to hear that you aren't into your exercise regimen anymore due to \"injuries\". Hv you visited a sports injury specialist? Do take care.

Thanks!

My gym trainer advised me to cut down on cardio exercises. I'm fine with weight training and floor stretching exercises (so will be continuing with my ABT classes) but gotta stay away from jumping kicking twisting kind of intensive cardio to avoid recurring knee pain.

I learned cycling when I was in p2. I seriously doubt I could pick it up any new sports in adulthood. Tried learning swimming when in Sec 1 and in my early 20s but to no avail.

My dh has been bugging me to learn inline skating the last 2 years. I obviously :siam:

inline skating - I tried. but with wobbly legs, really CMI. In the end, sold the equipment to someone.

Dowan to talk to Joule oredi. He doesn't know how to talk to me. Keep asking me change avatar. Either I am a distraction or I am not distracting him enough. No fun. Avatars are supposed to be fun.. for fun. :roll:


But aniwaes, am gonna share something shared by a friend of mine..

A very poor man lived with his wife.


One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed.

The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken.

She did not insist on her request.

The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.

He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife.

He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut.

She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band.

Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

MORAL : To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love, that is EVERYTHING. Never take love for granted.

I like the story.

To me, it is a communication breakdown.

When I was young watching TV drama, storylines usu. feature a man buying a surprise present for the woman, then the woman will be so happy that everything is a YES.

In reality, sometimes the man buys the wrong item. Intention to surprise is unreciprocated.

Then the man stopped buying surprise present.

Then the woman complains.

Hiaz, hard to please hor :rotflmao:

Must make an effort to conduct investigation before buying gifts

Oh, Oh - what is the name of this story !
It is a Mark twain or O'henry or saki or some one that times story.... :frustrated: Now I need to know

And no Joule- its not sad , its about love.
When I read this as a teenager , i too felt it was sheer waste. Argued with my teacher too.
But now , after being married , I understand the significance.
When you willing give up your prized possession to bring joy to to the one you love - without feeling martryed - that is what love is all about.

you gotta read the original. Wait I will google. and post

\"Gift of the Magi\" that is the name.
