Having slept so much yesterday, I decided to make the most of the last day of 2011. The first thing I did was going to gym in the early morning! I thought I could wake up at 7 a.m. but when I found it was still dark at 7 a.m. I decided to delay going to gym. :p (It was not good to walk in the dark!) When I got to the gym, it was around 8:45 a.m.! I thought there would be few people but surprisingly there were already 5 to 6 people and even more later. Was it because people were trying to shed off the extra pounds they had gained during Christmas? I was not harsh on myself - I tried not to work too hard but got myself sweat a bit. Then I went back home and had a nice shower before breakfast.
I had a lunch appointment with the funny couple at a Chinese restaurant. We ordered 6 dim sum - char siu bao, beef rice rolls, siu mai, mini egg tarts, dumplings with Chinese chives (which the English husband of the couple described as coming from another planet!), and curry (deep fried) squids (which were quite tasty but not spicy). Surprisingly there were not many customers - I wonder if it was because the restaurant didn't have half price dim sum discount offer as it had done before, or because people had all gone shopping?
After lunch, the Chinese wife of the couple and I went window shopping while the English husband went shopping himself. The Chinese wife wanted to buy a breadmaker machine and so we had a look at some. It sounds a good idea to make your own bread and I was tempted to do so! :p But a breadmaker machine is too expensive! I guess I have to buy a new frying pan and chopping board first instead!
We then went to a HK-style bakery for a drink. I wanted to have a glass of red bean drink, which is my favourite, but I think I better get something hot as I didn't feel quite well. But later I found that drinking a cup of HK-style milk tea wasn't good for me either. =_='
I cooked myself a nice dinner after going home. I needed something warm, tasty and not too heavy when I didn't feel quite well - I felt like I was getting sick! Hopefully that's not the case. I'm wondering if my 'auntie' is arriving soon, according to my previous 'schedule' and if it's the reason for my being unwell (upset stomach, bloating, nausea, etc.) - I tend to be weaker before 'auntie's visit. =_='
Happy New Year.. Eve!! :p Hope 2012 is getting better! :)
A bag of chestnuts from Marks & Spencer has 40 chestnuts!
And I got them for 10p only! :p
I gave half of them to the Chinese wife.
Lunch: curry squids :)
Lunch: some of the dim sum
Dinner: 3 dishes for myself! :p
steamed salmon in teriyaki sauce, onion omelette & pak choy
(清蒸蘑菇三文魚, 洋蔥炒蛋, 薑汁白菜)
I only ate 1/2 of the salmon
I can start using this 2012 calendar from tomorrow! Yeah!
