巧克力雪糕好棒噢！！！

突然想起上个礼拜吃的巧克力雪糕，超好吃的！那是我第一次吃Awfully Chocolate的雪糕。用来装雪糕的盒子非常特别，我最爱这种可爱的包装了！

看起来是不是非常地可口呢？

盒子很特别吧？跟一般的雪糕盒不一样！赞！

吃甜食可以保持心情愉快哦！

我是怪人！

I wonder if there is anyone else who loves eating and/or drinking on a bus. Because I really enjoy doing that. Be it a Starbucks latte, a hastily prepared sandwich from home, or a steaming hot bao from the nearby kopitiam, I derive unexplainable pleasure from eating/drinking during a bus ride. Mostly I’d be reading something while sipping or munching away, sometimes I’d be people watching (or blatantly ogling at some weird/hot/interesting character on the bus), and other times I’d just be staring out of the window. It is not cheap thrill nor some weird satisfaction that I get from this, a more accurate word to describe that feeling is probably contentment. Even if it is just for a short 20 or 30min, I have this sense of quiet contentment which makes me happy. I don’t care that it is short lived happiness, because that is better than none at all. 小小的幸福不管多短暂也是一种幸福！

This morning I went for Collin’s 7am spinning class. It was an Intervals ride but my legs felt heavy so I did an Endurance ride instead. Even though it wasn’t a high energy level workout for me, I am satisfied. Sometimes I think my expectations of things are getting lower and lower. Did a bit of my own light resistance training after that before making my way down to Raffles Place for my appointment with the gynae. I was too early, and she was a little late, so I ended up waiting for almost an hour. Fortunately, the sofa seat was comfy enough for me to snooze while waiting. Heehee! I should have gone to grab breakfast instead to appease my growling tummy, stupid me!

Anyhow, by the time I was done, it was about 11am, and I decided to allow myself a little treat and went to Juiced bar at Republic Plaza to da bao a salad. I say ‘treat’ because I find the salads at Juiced overpriced. The quality is there, but still … I think they can afford to be a little more generous in terms of portion. Nonetheless I love the salads there. In fact I used to eat there at least once or twice a week when I was working at Raffles Place.

The bus ride home was a pleasant one. I got a good seat away from most of the other passengers and away from the blazing hot sun, and spent the 30min or so eating my salad and reading my book. I know it probably sounds a little inconsiderate to be eating on the bus, but I always make it a point not to drop bits of food on the seat, and to avoid any strong smelling foods so as not to annoy the other passengers.

Oh and for those who love celery like I do, Mr Bean makes a pretty good celery soy milk drink. And if you are not a huge fan of celery but don’t mind it, it is still  worth a try because the celery smell/taste is not overpowering. On the other hand, if you are into a sweeter and thicker drink, try the papaya soy milk. I wanted to order that earlier but they ran out of papaya. Boo!

Better go prepare for my interview now. I NEED COFFEE!!!

Random Party @ Majestic Bar

Big thanks to Jonson for letting us have Level 3 free of charge to host our random party. We call it a random party because it is one where we (‘we’ being the core group of us, or what I usually call the ‘Velvet gang’) invite random friends to get together for a good time. This time round, we decided to make it a ’singles party’ where we were tasked to bring 2 or 3 single friends of ‘good quality’ (haha!) so that the single folks (myself included!) can meet other single people, and the attached ones can make new friends too

I must say the party was a huge success. The turnout was pretty damn good, and I am fairly sure almost everyone had a good time whether or not they met someone who catches their fancy. The night ended with me playing 5-10 with Andy, Rick & Fiona and me getting kind of drunk on Whiskey and had to be sent home by June, Fi & PY! Heh heh.

A few photos to share … everything else is on Facebook …  Enjoy!

A slack week!

Thanks to my right knee which is giving me problems again, I didn’t manage to go to the gym on Wed and Sat! 2 days which I normally get very ass-kicking workouts! Grrrrrrrrrr……..!

Fortunately, my Sat was salvaged by some friends who very kindly popped over to my place to play mahjong with me. First  it was Fiona, Pearl, John & myself (while PY entertained himself playing DOTA), then John had to go for his dinner appointment, so the rest of us went off for dinner at Aston’s. And one round of MJ is never enough. So we called Wai Leong, and at 9pm, we resumed MJ-ing (while PY resumed DOTA-ing) and we played another 2 rounds

Fi was the big winner overall, I lost about $13. Not too bad really. I was actually kind of surprised that I lost under $25 because I barely won and I kept drawing crappy tiles. So even though I didn’t win any money, I was still very happy with the whole MJ session. At least I didn’t waste my Sat stoning away or lurking online.

Hopefully I will get some workout done on Sunday. I am so so so craving for a good spin. I know it sounds totally mental but I miss miss miss spinning and pumping!

Yes I am a psycho gym addict!
