Size VS Stress

100820081537 100820081540

(L): Beef noodle at Marine Parade Hawker Center
(R): you can pick some crispy peanuts to go along.

Seriously delicious! Last week, suddenly I wanted to go Marine Parade. So, finally I got to try this beef noodle. The verdict is : beef is tender. Superb! Here is a macro view ...

*Slurp* And is only $4!

Where is this beef noodle stall? Here you are!

100820081543
There's always a queue outside this stall. There's only 1 person cooking, taking your order and money!

After having beef noodle last week in Marine Parade, I've decided to go South today. what should I eat??? I was really hungry this afternoon... Then I saw Swensons. This word caught my attention - Salad!

At the back of my mind, this voice ringing in my head ..."Siao! Go Swensons and pay $11.9 to eat salad?! Then why not buy $11.9 worth of vege + fruits from NTUC and throw all ingredients inside?"


But I were so hungry until I couldnt think anymore. I saw the waitor and without hesitation, I said "Table for one, please." Nothing in this world is worse than "gru gru gur" in your stomach!

I've 4 plates of salad!!! Wahahahah!!! Must make my $11.90 (exclusive of GST and service charge) worthwhile ya! : )

My 2nd plate of salad at Swensons.

My 4th plate... Vege, watermelon, gimchi (yes! There's gimchi at the Salad bar! Amazing!), potato chips started to swim in my stomach .... Ok... enough..

Suddenly, I felt very healthy after consumed 4 plates of salad. :) : ) : ) : )

I realised I have ate out more than usual. Ever since the beginning of this year, I felt stressed al
Ever since the beginning of this year, I felt stressed all the way till now.

Work is killing me. Work keeps flooding in and my desk is flooded with papers, books, files, stationery, forms, claims, acrylic rods, Jelutong pieces, some no-longer-functioning LEDs... Finally DnT courework submission has come to an end. The past 7+months were indeed tormenting to me and my students.

Honestly, DnT is a difficult subject. It requires us to THINK and DRAW out the thinking processes. Sometimes I am also stuck in the thinking process, so are my students. They can't draw or think and yet the requirements of DnT Courework are to DRAW and must THINK of solutions! Really killing them and in the end, the teacher (me) also felt completely burnt out after the 7+mths.

Battery goes flat.

So that explains why I've so many photos on FOOD! When stress level goes up, so does my size....

Now my husband came back home with 3 BOXES of food! The food was prepared by his clients.

When I opened the box, I was stunned to see these ...

Homemade cheese cake topped with 1 generous slice of mango + 1 strawberry.

The macro view ...

Such a THICK LAYER OF CHEESE (fat)!!! Oooooooooh!

160820081565
Chocolate cake!

I don't have the habit of eating super, however, the sight of those cakes is just so tempting!

I shall eat a bit... : )

Eat , Eat and more eating

18April is an Eating day 'cos I get to eat, eat and EAT.

Part 1 of 18April : Annual Sports Day.

Ever since Secondary School days, Sports Day is one of my favourite days besides Public Holidays, in every year. Not only because there's no lesson but is the day for me to run on the track and GOT TO EAT ALOT OF JUNK FOOD.

Yes, I am a junkie :).

Starts the Day with a beautiful sunrise

This year the weather was scotching hot as compared to last year. The only thing I could do is sit under the shelter and eat eat eat. Last year I could still cheer for my students under the not-so-hot sun.

3 more colleagues and I were super hungry after Sports Day.

We had Fries ... (sorry no photo. Just use your imagination~!)

crab baked rice The very spicy crab baked rice ...

Mango Apple Fizz and Carrot Soup Mango Apple Fizz and Soup of the day - Carrot Soup

I was very full by then. Then my colleague commented that no matter how full our stomach, there is always a compartment for desserts. : )

Sticky Chewy Chocolate Ice cream

So, I heed his advise and I end up ordering a very sinfully Sticky Chewy Chocolate and share with my colleagues.

Wah! I felt my tummy has increased by few inches afte this meal! But who could beat her?

Mango Apple fizz for Norita's baby~ The glass could rest on Mama Norita's tummy! haHa!

Part 3 of 18April: Shopping at PS

I was happily shopping with my dear sister. My mobile phone was naughty and would automatically shutdown by itself. It's time for it to retire. Anyway i've used it for 2 years. I didn't eat much. But I just drank a cup of very sinfully fattening Frappe Mocha from Mac Cafe.

End the shopping trip with a N82. *grinning*

Part 4 of 18April: The highlight of the day

EATING AT A JAPANESE RESTAURANT at Marina Square. I didn't take many photos as I was busy eating. Or the chicken, beef and pork were already in our stomach.
