The weekend was a good one. Friday was a Tampines 201 Bar Chor Mee day with darling. We took a nice long walk after the meal. It's an attempt to put in some cardio exercise into our unhealthy lives. Well, it is indeed good exercise. Did you know? Experts say that walking 5km and running 5km used up the same amount of calories? Hung out at darling's place until late afternoon before went off to meet the NYP BB Primer friends.
Huishan, Jialing, Weifang, and wat's-her-name looked glad that their exams were over. Kenneth was there too. Had KFC and watched The Princess Diaries 2. It's another chick flick and I love chick flicks. I may sound like a himbo, but I really enjoy chick flicks! Haha! After that, after lots of walking around looking for a nice place to have a drink. We've decided to settle for Indochine and Wisma! There was a live band! The resident band led by this guy called George sings amazingly. Soft rock's the way to go! Jialing was really high, on both the drinks and the songs. I must say. It's a really good place to chill. Anyone wanna go jio me...
Then yesterday, and nice a not so sunny saturday was spent at darling's place again. helped her dad move old furniture for dumping. Her dad is slowly but surely starting to hate me less. I've figured that girls' dads always hate their daughters' boyfriends... They must be thinking: "This S.O.B is stealing my precious little girl from me... wat if he influences her into bad habits, what if he..." and the list of possible bad things go on. But hey! I'm a nice guy leh... so i feel. Went for Bar Chor Mee again at 201. This time, I've convinced darling to eat her BCM without oil.
Did you know? Between a serving soup fishball noodle and dry fisball noodle, there's a 200 calorie difference? This 200 cals comes from the oil (usually pork lard oil) and the chilli. Have you seen the aunty throw 2 big table spoons of oil into the bowl before adding in the noodles? Well, one table spoon is about 5-6 grams of pure saturated fats, and 1 gram of fats is about 9 calories. That works out to about 100 calories. Cutting the oil in the BCM would save us 100 calories and the quality of the noodle doesn't drop much, maybe not as smooth but a spoon of soup will do the trick! Healthy tip from the health-nut!
Went to a welcome party organised by the Singapore Society of Radiographers. The BBQ was good. Had lots of fun cooking and eating. So much for healthy eating for the night. Most of the people weren't exactly friendly. Only a handful bothered to get to know us. I felt sooooooo welcomed...
As least there was good food, my dear friends from the clique and a really good frisbee...
