POST-CONFINEMENT ERA

Yesterday was my 44th day of confinement... and HURRAYYYYYYY...!!!! Finally... I am able to roam free outside the vicinity of my home. But I was not all guilty-free of breaking some of the rules of confinement at all... I've been bad... very very bad...

Besides neglecting all the basic rules of confinement (things like wearing socks at all times, no cold shower, wrapping yourself tight with special cloth around your abdomen, etc.) while I was in my parents-in-law's house in Kelantan for my Hubby's father's funeral, I was also guilty of galloping Baskin Robins down my throat on my 40th day of confinement. Why..?? I was sort of celebrating the end of my confinement... how ironic!

But the worst crime that I had committed would be driving up to Rawang on my 36th day of confinement to my sister's new house. I had violated one of the most important laws of after-delivery code and conduct. Both of my sisters were appalled... so did some of my friends who visited me today.

But come on... being cooped up in your own house for 44 days or 60 days (well... not entirely true though... coz there was the journey back to Kelantan and the visit to the doctor for Afeeq's shot) could make anyone crazy... especially me - a being who is free-spirited and not to mention a mall addict.

Now that I've (sort of) completed the 44-day house arrest, I plan to enjoy the 2 or more weeks that I have before going back to work to do things that I want. For instance, getting a hair treatment, going to spa, revamping my wardrobe (that would involve shopping - a lot of it!), catching up with old friends (that would involve renewing my socialising skills).

Apparently, one of the activities that I have planned also involves some teaching at one of the local universities. Am I going to regret that? I hope not. Extra cash would come handy when I want to revamp my wardrobe... hehehe.

But, the point is, I'm just happy that I am officially certified by the society "healthy" to carry out outdoor activities and in a way to go back to my old self and routine... with one glitch though... I wish I didn't have to go back to work so soon...
