Since the previous post, lots of things have been done but not blogged, nor face-booked about.
Sept - Oct:
Discovered how delicious llao llao yoghurt really is and how comforting it was to enjoy a Sanum, which I did after working on one Sunday. Just had the yoghurt version of it with 3 toppings, nice but I was shocked my favourite caramel crumble and caramel sauce wasn't available in my most recent visit. Now its a 15-20mins queue which if you do with a friend, is kind of ok but queuing alone unless you play the phone or listen to music like I do. But still worth it to eat it. I break my no-cold policy... can't afford to keep breaking it like every week so have to refrain from eating often... how sad.
Discovered this restaurant called Supply and Demand at Esplanade whole out with Tab and DF. I ate their pork pasta and flew to pasta heaven, though it was a second dinner. They had a tramisu and said it was good. The second time I went with Queen and we had the pork pasta, a half-half pizza and the tiramisu. It was superb, especially the pasta and the tiramisu. We asked ourselves if this pasta is really this good, what were those pasta we had before counted as? Really this is the one. I drool when I recall the pasta. The 3rd time was with Tab and Quetzal but there was a long long queue in front so we headed to the bar upstairs where one can only order bar food, pizzas. We had two half-half pizzas and two rounds of tea. It was raining that night. Good pizzas hut I would still want to go back for the pasta and dessert.
Octobeer:
Headed to Paulaners with Tab and DF. They had non-alcoholic drinks while I ordered the half pint octobeer brew and began the ritual to let it sit for 3 hours to 'reach room temperature' - which failed cos it was still a bit cold by the time i drank it, to Tab's chagrin. We still ordered a mountain of food. Each of us had one main - fish, chicken schnitzel and me, pork ribs. Shared out a half pork knuckle. Yumz but I wasn't at full gastronomical power so can't order more. Another merry year.
Towards the mid of the second last week of Oct, I was super sick for a consecutive period of 15-16 days before things finally cleared up and I felt like my normal self. It didn't help that I had to work still and yet despite going to see the docs twice and finishing the meds, I still wasn't fully recovered. I totally cleaned up my diet. No more over-eating, proper food for lunch not just bread or biscuits, tried to sleep earlier, no more alcohol. Haven't drunk a drop since last 2 weeks of Oct until now. Rested as much as I could but felt cooped up. This reminded me that Health is Really Important. After I made a full recovery, I continued to stay off alcohol and tried to eat proper food for lunch. Christmas party at Tabs place then I'll drink my Sminoff and Gentleman Jack.
Nov:
The Mustard Incident reopened at Ann Sianf hill area and we headed down and chomped on their duck-can-fit, frankinstein and green lambton hotdogs. I had my music theory book first marked by Tab then Quetzal. They helped answer some problems I am having especially with regards to connecting theory with playing. Finally I can see how to apply some of it to playing. But it was an intensive music theory this game even if it was just Grade one.
Just yesterday, I was doing the corrections in the book, reminiscent of primary school days... so if I can dig out some more time and energy to do the theory and practice my drums and also try out the theory on the guitar.
Resumed KM after a 3 weeks hiatus but in the recent sparring, I felt bad and came down with something...
On medical leave today due to headache and dizziness. Not nauseous but didn't feel up enough to brave through another day of work. Called in sick in the morning and saw a doc who diagnosed it as tension headache. Gave me meds and a sick leave off. Ate food and meds and was knocked out until mid afternoon. Then just laid in bed and look at the Internet. Evening time I went to see the Chinese doc for my weekly follow-up but still felt giddy. The pain has subsided but the giddiness has increased. Made it home and am now lying in bed after dinner and meds. I would use to sleep but not sleepy...weren't the meds supposed to make me sleepy?
