| 170608 youKbox session with ABS :)
finally a complete abs outing in ages. we're still retarded and LATE as usual hurrhurr. it was my fault that things became what they were. my inability to muster enough courage to face up to the consequences of my actions, or even, to simply apologise. i hope i'm not too late, i hope i haven't lost it completely. on a lighter note, at least we haven't lost touch with our well-honed skills at retaliating the stupid cheat of a kbox who was so intent on confiscating our food and chasing us out even before the time was up. they might just have succeeded with anyone else but since it's us the AMAZING WASHBOARD ABS, they can dream on, long long :) plus i think we're getting better and better at SINGING... off beat, out of tune and out of context (how bout like wrong song for wrong tune). of course not forgetting all the spastic 洗刷刷/ 果汁分你一半 songs that got us through HMT mugging sessions last year that got us bookings for RECESSIVE NOSES etc. the past two years with ABS/ 409 indeed pales every other experiences i've had in comparison. and i know, it is the best that my life can ever get. Pig out session with SAL!
so sal and i embarked on our routined food hunt yesterday, after i stuffed myself with food at the buffet on mum's bday the day before. hohoho given how we're so good with unraveling amazing food havens in the most ulu and inconspicuous corners of singapore, we set out to explore joochiat/ marine parade. and of course, our good foresight never fails us. we found aston specialities just before lunch time, before the packs of hungry working crowd started to flood in and we managed to get quite a good seat albeit the rather stuffy atmosphere. since sal and i are both super noobs at steak (think someone who once responded to "how'd like your steak done" with "cooked" and someone who thought the red liquid on the meat was some sort of sauce/gravy) we initially wanted to give the steak a miss. but being the thinkers leaders and pioneers that we are, we of course, eventually chose to venture into the untrodden path. we ordered our steak medium rare and it came looking and smelling real good with two other sides (pasta salad& onion rings) 
but the other set of hickory chicken took quite a while before the waiter came to inform us that the chicken had been overcooked and they were redoing it.
that half a piece is actually the hickory chicken which i didnt get a chance at shooting it. the food was considerably good for the price that we paid. for the steak, the meat was juicy and tender and the taste was just right, not too strong nor too mild. whereas for the chicken, we both loved the bbq sauce that was used to marinate it. in the end, the bill, to our utter amazement, totalled to a mere 18 bucks. sal and i were so happy that we decided that we'd treat ourselves to a nice piece of cake afterwards. all in all, considering the price that we paid, the excellent service (which i believe is due to the many many waiters but small crowd) and the better than average food, we were happy yay :) like they said, nothing ventured nothing gained. and of course we gained. we'd not have been satisfied with anything less given how we always never falter on our food hunts. we gained happy stomachs, happy wallets, happy legs that took us through our adventure for the next 7hours and finally, we gained weight. but we couldn't careless, could we :) then we wanted to give obolo a visit since they have wonderful cakes and the owner happens to be my bro's friend so there was hope for a discount, hehehe. but unfortunately, the shop was packed with photographers and flashlights which meant manuevering through it, given our size after the meal, will prove to be quite an adversity. later in the night, i was told by bro that the shop owners just won some competition and that he was in the very same shop sampling a whole new addition to the cakes the afternoon that we walked past. damnnn what a waste! sal we should have just walked in and maybe we'd have gotten some cakes too! but it's such a wonder the world's so small. fast forward. we eventually settled for coffee bean's cranberry mitchel after a tour of all the cake shops around. 
look at the melted chocolate! the entire cake was flourless and was made out of ground almonds, butter/sugar and the whatnots that we'd rather we didn't know.
the cake was so good and pretty that i think we couldn't bear to eat it. as a result, we took ages at it. like maybe 45 mins? hahaha. oh and fyi, this piece of cranberry mitchel was the 4th slice of a huge sliced cake i had in two days. thanks to the buffet the day earlier. and that's excluding the cedele carrot cake that i had later on at night. i wouldn't be surprised if i became the next one to suddenly collapse out of the blue due to cardiac arrest. on the trip, sal and i reminised our childhood by buying sweets that we grew up eating from those traditional commodity shops. they still taste as good albeit having shrunk in size due to the price inflation of food over the years. after i got home, at around 10 plus, we cut a belated cake that i got for mum! cedele's famous carrot walnut cake! since she aint an ardent fan of cakes, a carrot cake seemed like the best choice among all it's chocolate counterparts. 
i couldn't get a shot of the entire cake before it was cut so this was as best as i could get.
really, cedele aint famed for it for nothing. they weren't stingy with their ingredients and the entire cake was covered with walnuts and cream cheese and the cake itself for some weird reason, had some alcoholic taste to it. i was supposed to give sal a slice if it hadnt been because we couldnt get the cake cut in time. hahah sal if you dont mind a one week old cake, i can freeze a slice for you just that if you wind up gettin a diarrhoa, not my fault ah xD yess so that constituted my 5th slice of cake in two days that is also likely to constitute my sudden death, ahem ahem. physio
but at the very least, i haven't been all too sedentary with my lifestyle. i finally got my knee checked in the past week and the diagnosis kinda stumped me, both with it's nature and with not knowing the extent of it's severity. so, there's absolutely nothing wrong with my knee( thank god) so i can finally stop taking those glucosamine. but the doc said i've got some leg length discrepancy. sounds kinda corny doesn't it. so i have absolutely no idea whether it's a serious condition or not. but the doc did say that in the long run if not rectified, i'm gonna wind up with serious knee, hip and spine injury as there'd be some sets of muscles totally unused and dormant and blah blah. and hence, he referred me to a physio. i had no idea what was coming up until the first session where the first thing i was made to do at 8 in the morning was to run 3k. actually i was glad that he made me do that. then i was holed up in some corner of the gym for the next two hours, doing weights and conditioning. two hours of conditioning, that's a first. but im okay with it, and somehow even liked it. so the physiotherapist decided that the running should be increased to 5k for the next session. i guess, if keep going, he's gonna make me do a full marathon soon. but i dont care, this might just be a god damn good time for me to get the fire back. to burn for the track and to stop succumbing to my fears. so even though the physio context might seem just a tad too weird, imma push for it. remember how you used to love running? people don't get over such stuff that easily.
