My Actifit Report Card: October 28 2018 (Out and about in Penang)

Hey, Actifit Steemians this is my first ever Actifit posting. This week has been a week of firsts for me and it is exciting. Actually, I started using Actifit in early September. However, it has never really worked well for me. I am a super active person! I commute every day to work on the train and my job requires me to move around a lot. I am a recruiter you see and I have to meet with a lot of candidates and on top of that, I go for meetings with clients as well. Then when I get home, I have to run after my two little boys so you can imagine?

But somehow the app doesn't seem to capture my activity properly even though I start the app in the morning. I have also enabled "Aggressive Tracking" but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I checked with some of my fellow Mamas and the app seems to work for them. It has been frustrating as I have been trying to be diligent with the app but unfortunately, it just doesn't work for me. My own health trackers tells me everday that I do a lot more activity than what is captures on the Actifit app. Since it has been over a month now since I started using the app and still couldn't get it to work for me, I decided that I was just going to post it anyway today once and for all. Future postings are probably not going to be forthcoming unless I figure out what I am doing wrong. By the way, I am using a Huawei Mate 9 and I am wondering if this is an Android issue or just a user issue! All in good fun right?

So today's activity was all about walking, sightseeing, shopping and eating! We are in Penang with hubby's parents for the weekend to visit his sister who lives here. This is a once a year tradition that we make an effort to keep as it is one of the few times a year that we get together as a family for a few days. My sister-in-law owns a Montessori pre-school in Penang and every year around this time she has her school concert and graduation ceremony. It is a big affair indeed yesterday.

Today, we spent the morning at the Penang Botanical Gardens, eating melt in your mouth chapati, roti canai and tosai. We also drank a lot of teh tarik and then went to check out the Sunshine Farlim Shopping Mall. It reminded me of the local version of the Tesco hypermarket. Price wise, I expected it to be cheaper overall but I reckon I could get some better deals in KL.

Then the other highlight of the day was going to a Biscuit Center! It was a shop that sold every kind of biscuit that you could think of. It was nostalgic because some of the biscuits were what I used to eat before when I was a kid so I had a pretty awesome time there! You can imagine my Chapati and Murtabak went bananas when they saw the shop!

We got home to rest a little while and after the kiddos had slept for a good two hours they were ready for the pool of course! They never miss pool time when we come to Penang. We are so fortunate that our condo has pretty decent pool facilities complete with a jacuzzi!

We finally ended the day with dinner at the Batu Ferringhi Long Beach Cafe. (I think...can't remember the name of the place but I am pretty sure) Basically the food court/hawker centre just after the Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort. The boys fell asleep pretty quick and Mama here finally gets some peace to finish this posting!

Thanks for reading my super long Actifit post everyone!

Love,
Khim
