Godlike parking skill at Mamak Murni @ SS2. Thanks Mau for the pic!

Here comes the blabbering....

I was bored and asked Eddie about what to blog about and he suggested I post up my overnight prawn meal. So tadah, here it is. I cooked it this morning for my lunch and tea. I don't plan to workout today....rest day. So Eddie, here it is...my screwed up meal.

• Pan Fry the chicken breast with butter
• Fried the rice with some sesame oil, butter and maggi cili sauce FTW(For The Win)
  
• Prawns were just reheated - FROM SUNDAY! w00t.
  
• Doh, cucumbers.
• I forgot to fry the rice with some garlic...fuck =.=
  

I'll eat some for lunch and some for tea.

Here comes my meals on any other random days. Be it for breakfast, pre-workout meal or just plain junk when I'm outside.

One of my breakfast before work recently...Steffi Peanut Butter...ROASTED NUTS. No hydrogenated crap


Chunky one


Sometimes, this is my breakfast after going to church on Sundays....Vegetarian noodles. I usually fry my own egg from home...fucking expensive at the stall..DOH. Mee + bee Hoon + some tau pok + fried egg

I went for my food scan recently at Schein Orthopaedic at The Curve. I went there, got my foot scanned and running checked. Turns out that I'm not distributing the weight properly on my right feet. I'm using only my forefoot and not much support of the heel during landing and push off, hence the pain on my shins.

What's for lunch after the foot scan? Junk food. Gee Gee

Milk custard with red bean


Borscht Soup?


Yin Yong Coffee Tea Cold!


My Cheese Baked Rice with beef steak and red sauce. They call it red sauce and beef steak when the beef is barely even 1CM thick. Fuckers...


Mmmmmm Cheese


My gf ordered Mix Grill with Spaghetti with Pineapple Curry gravy.


Moar cheese


Dessert, forgot what it was called (=,=)


Thick huh?

Full "goodness" of honey, butter and peanut butter. MMMmmmm

Gonna end this abruptly. Bye, Ciao. Adios.

My meals are good eh? GOOD right? :D

Valentine's Day!

So...............................................................................................................................

How did you guys spend your V day? Hope it was a good one as always but I still believe Valentine's Day is too commercialized and I'm sure most of you will agree.

Well, I'll admit that during the first two years of my relationship, I did buy a bouquet of roses for her but after that, I've stopped. I have treated my gf the same throughout the years as in giving her all the love, care and attention she needs. So Valentine's day is not really a day where I would do outrageous things. Why do those things ONLY on 14th February when you have the entire fucking year? It makes no sense don't you think? But that is for my case and she loves me very much. She knows I love her and care for her. Even my friends knows that! *ahem*

It's not a matter of money but seriously, I don't give any flowers often except probably her birthday. You might be saying "Girls will still like flowers" or "Other guys are giving flowers to their gf". My answer is "So?". Those guys probably give their gf flowers only on Valentine's Day. Also, are you giving flowers to your gf because others are doing so? Feeling left out?

Let's be practical here. Florist will raise their prices for a stalk of rose ranging from RM10 ~ RM God knows how much more for desperados to do last minute buying. With the current economic situation, let's be practical. Although I did not buy any flowers, we had a nice dinner together. I've even booked the place one week in advance! Seriously, I booked the place 1 week before V day.

Nothing like OldTown yeah?



We shared a cup of Ice Lemon Tea


Nice ambience


She ordered Assam Laksa


My Hainanese Chicken Chop Rice

Just kidding la. WTF You seriously think I brought my sayang to OLDTOWN FOR V DAY? I SAID BE PRACTICAL AND NOT BEING CHEAP! Here is the place I booked for Valentine's Day. I chose this place because of its environment. Nice and calm. Best part of all, its seems more private.

Nice place to dine as it was not really crowded and noisy. Calm environment


Nice decor huh?


Me and my sayang

Citrus Tingler for her


Temptations for me

Their menu was different for that day. The usual leather menu are just for the drinks. Appetizers, soups, main courses and desserts are on another simplified A4 size menu which will help speed up serving time.

My mouth watering Slow Baked Chicken Quarter ~ Doused in pommery mustard and scotch whisky


Seared White Tuna Steak ~ Laced with caramelized garlic butter sauce, set on a bed of cress, topped with grilled mushrooms.


Last but not least, after paying the bill, we were given a stalk of rose too

~Happy Valentine's Day!~

Eat, Sleep and Lift.

W'sup . Nothing much. Decided to re-check my routine and try something. Not really new but changed the way I'm working out. Instead of using heavy weights, I'm using a more manageable weight. I'm going for proper form rather than quantity of weights. It might be lighter but I feel my muscles being trained properly. The weights are just right, not too heavy and not too light. Its the 2nd week of this month and I'm trying this "new" routine for the entire month. I've been increasing my protein intake for recovery and growth(if any). Eddie, happy? LOL. I brought my whey to office today...it's a start! I'm mixing it with water today. I'll alternate between mixing with just water and low fat milk.

What about running?

I am training to do my usual 10KM per session as well. So far, I've ran two 10KMs this year. It quite hard to push myself nowadays. Probably lack of sleep but excuses aside, time to train.

I ran 10KM on Monday(09.02.2009) and my right knee didn't hurt. Sometimes I wonder, could it be my shoe? I might get a new pair of New Balance but I'm giving the Saucony ProGrid Jazz 12 another go. I ran in the evening and boy, it was HOT. 10KM was done at my gf's place and it requires 4 loops. I actually ran back to my gf's place after my completing the 3rd loop to take a water bottle which I have prepared earlier. It was actually half a bottle of honey + water. Although I did not run the entire 10KM, I'm happy I still achieved it without giving up. I stretched and walked around the padang for another few minutes to cool down before heading back to my gf's place.

Should I run today? I feel like running today although my biceps and chest are abit aching...more on the biceps.

My metabolism is also going nuts. I get hungry very fast! Signs of my body begging to bulk? Or other health reasons? Worms? LOL. Anyway, I brought my protein powder to office....with my GNC shaker. I plan to up my protein intake this month as well to speed up recovery.

Hopefully will have some results.
