Not So Lazy Sunday.....

This morning I was pottering around in the apartment before I managed to get out the front door for my morning walk...... one of the things I did was stepping onto the scales..... hoot! hoot! the needle did not reach 70kg.... 152 (not 159) lbs!!!

Managed only two rounds of 1km walk - first round I was busy snapping pics of the recently repaired roads within the apartment complex and other things (not to be mentioned in a foodie post!).

After which I prepared for my trip to the wet market.... green tote bags x 2: checked! containers for wet produce: checked! used plastic bags: checked! purse, hphone, car keys.. checked! After getting into the car and starting the engine...... there was a 'ping and crackled' sound - OMGosh! what was that sound? turned around and saw that my rear windscreen is now nicely MARBLED! Aiyoh! Whats with me and windscreens these days!?? My front windscreen was damaged just before CNY and now the rear one pulak! Tomorrow have to take taxi to work!

Anyway consolation for today was that DH took me and my mother out to lunch at 'Purple Cane' which is located within the Chinese Assembly Hall building in KL.. and the food is rather GOOD!

Above: The three of us shared one helping of.....
Above: Almond jelly in Black Tea, with a squeeze of lime! Interesting!
Above: served in a tiny bowl!
Above: Lastly, Green Tea Tong Yuan rolled in pounded peanuts!

And I won the guessing game of how much the bill will tally up to: RM91.00 after less 10% gold card discount, add service tax! I guessed RM99.00 (which is actually correct if not for the 10% gold card discount!)
