a little bit too much foodelicious

i think there's a little baby fat around my tummy. oh sweet lord what have i got myself into?

although it makes sense actually. i had it all coming. think about it, i didn't exactly lead an active life schedule recently. no tennis, no badminton, no swimming. what i did after coming back from work, is slump on my bed and watch friends.

can't really blame myself because i just went through successive hectic weekends. when you're being deprived the luxury of resting on that precious off days, the body kinda tend to compensate during the other 5 weekdays.

i blame the human anatomy.

remember the christina aguilera concert? that was 2 weeks ago on saturday night. i must say christina rocks! my god that girl has a horse power lung, george bush better forget iran and whatever nuclear craps they're building because this baby jane has the original reactor pipes that could blow you away.

a pity that the singaporean concert crowd sucks on an otherwise a perfect night. i mean, i know that the hall looks a bit like lecture theater but that doesn't mean we have to act like being in one. stand up for god's sake. while christina was blasting her moulin rouge number, my legs almost wanted to jump off my pants and people still sit as in detention center?

at least 2 caucasian ladies came up with their senses and stood up to dance but the police came over to ask them to sit because they were obstructing the view. duhh..

anyway i still enjoyed it, although i swear next time i must fly out of this dull-jud city and watch with other fun crowd. or at least take the free standing ticket instead because i guess the way singaporeans see it, unless the ticket states 'standing', they are gonna do what we normally do on seats. sitting.

that was followed by a late night supper at tampines ave 2 because after that rush of energy and adrenaline, we just needed time to calm down and bring our heartbeat to the original level. that black pepper roti john special flooded with mayonnaise didn't seem that sinful then.

on wednesday we had this FoodMoreDelicious team building event for our office department started at 2pm, which meant a short working day. i love team building activity. ok the bonding thing is pretty ok and it's all paid for, but most importantly we can escape work and got regarded as good and supportive employees. it feels like christmas for some people.

what we were supposed to do after being divided into several groups, was to solve 10 given clues that would pinpoint a location and the food each. we must then travel there and eat to get points. it's kinda like the amazing race, except we have our bosses to drive us around, and get to eat all those free famous food.

so among the clues we solved and went to were the yu-tiao, beancurd and durian in geylang, takoyaki in bugis, gelare waffle ice cream in holland V (is gelare originated from australia? someone should question the validity of those clues), paper curry rice in kitchener road, meatball in IKEA and wantan mee in old airport road.

never had i so many food to eat without actually realized the consequences with each bites down my throat. any consolation though, we got 2nd in overall, and that yet rewarded us another large box of food goodies for us to further consume. urghh...

on food hunting around the island

on friday after work i took a bus back to kl because it has been, i dunno, last january?? .. since i last went back to my parents house. plus, my brother just came back from the states for summer holiday cum work practical so we were gonna have a little family reunion. except unlike chinese new year reunion which only happens at dinner, this time it felt a bit like harry potter grand hall dining when the food magically appears on the table around the clock. in a span of 2 days, we had fried macaroni, durian deserts, sandwich, mee jawa, lemang and rendang, roti jala and chicken curry, kfc and chocolate cake, you know, on top of normal rice meals.

home made chocolate cake

it was nice though, being pampered once in awhile like this. until you spot those unwanted bits around your tummy which even the biotherm homme abdoscuplt couldn't not fix. i so must resume my workout regime now.

and yet i still plan for a durian eating escapade in jb this weekend. what was i thinking?
