a 'nutritious' day

so have your waistline expanded over the chinese new year break??

well, i think mine is still the same but after today, i might find the skirt for work tomorrow a bit tight. i better stay safe with expandable rubber waist line for these few days.

anyway, i had my first yeesang this cny- today, well better late than never. went to a retired ex-colleague's house and had a feast there.

we had raw fish and fruits yee sang. the plate was obviously too small, and with all the tossing with chopsticks, it was necessary to use that wok as the base instead. all the ingredients were tossed and they still remained in the wok. the ingredients were very fresh because we only bought this morning from a restaurant in bidor which prepared their own.
fried meatball from kampar.

the ever generous host prepared durian for us. according to the lorry driver, the durians were from bidor ;8. i think they don't come cheap as they are charged according to weight.

well, the pulps do not look that appetising kan? they are rather small in size and thin. but luckily there was one durian which produced thick, creamy and bitter pulps. those finished really fast.

and if yeesang and durian did not make you full, we went out for lunch at a restaurant in tapah too. had few dishes and 2 plates of fried noodles. need i still take dinner??

thank god for the good weather and i managed to go for a 30-minute walk. i could not jog for sure because i was still burping durian at 6p.m. luckily i managed a jog yesterday. phew! less guilty. can't be lazy this week.

dinner time?? i actually planned to just have a cup of drink and maybe a slice of bread, but NO, the kid (carmen la) refused to let me have that for dinner.

fyi, i had been having bread with dried duck meat every weekday last week since the caterer stopped catering ;(. and this week, i also brought back 4 slices of dried duck meat to last me for the week at dinner time. ok, roll your eyes.

had to finish those meat one way or another, so why not? and i don't have to think much about dinner. convenient right? but i will have to start thinking hard because there will be no more dried meat next week. what's for dinner??

anyway, i had dinner, and a scrumptiously wholesome one.
specially delivered to my house at 7p.m. by dear carmen- white rice with fried egg, sweet and sour pork and tomato and vegetable. i had to promise to finish everything including every grain of rice. since she went through so much trouble, i had to fulfil the promise loh.

this is what i will have tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. one extra piece of dried duck meat will go to my colleagues who said they have never tried it before.

i definitely need some supplements to make up of all those lost nutrients in my body kan??

anyway, something for the soul now. read about these 2 books in the star paper. don't worry, there are more pictured than words in the books and the pictures are really amazing. don't trust me?? click the two links and be amazed.
