i love gymnastics. i recently joined a gym, and i'm starting to get control of my body. this is fabulous news! i feel much happier in the gym now (especially because my body didn't cry when i woke up this morning and had to get out of bed like all the other times).
just chipper! going for a facial and massage tomorrow because i'm spoiling myself rotten since no one is here to do it for me :D
love,
sans

Char Siew, Rice and Roast DUCK! Yum yummmm! + 328 KATONG LAKSA!!!!!
After tea break with MamaBear :) who is finally BACK in SG!! [mee pok soup - just like mi nuoc], I had dinner with Jack!
My gymnastics place is around this outdoor mall-ish area in Toa Payoh...so we ate around there. Originally we were going for chicken rice (*doh) but because it was closed...(it's ok. I've had enough chicken rice for this week) ^.^
I had...(as you surmised from the title of the post).....char siew (sa sieu in Vietnamese), rice, and roast duck! yum yum yum!
Ok in all fairness, the char siew was a bit overcooked and burnt. And the roast duck was decent. There is an accompany black sauce that was drizzled over the plate of meat, and it was a sweet/slightly salty mixture.
And this is a super cute white grape drink! SO CUTE!!!
So today for lunch I am a bit full despite the small bowl of laksa I had. I usually go to a place in Roxy Square, but we decided to try the one across the street. Here is a shot of it on the overpass on the way there!
The coconut broth of the laksa was so delicious, but it was a bit too heavy (I can feel the cholesterol building up in my arteries) for me. It was more spicy than the "Original Katong Laksa" in Roxy Square, but I think it was a bit much. The owner's wife of this 328 Katong Laksa is actually "Classic Mrs. Singapore," and despite her interesting hair color, she is quite cute! She has a nice smile that makes you feel warm inside! Hooray! There are pictures of her all over, as well as local celebrities inside! You have the option to eat in the A/C (or as Singaporeans say, 'aircon') area or outside (with fans blowing every which way!), so we chose the A/C spot.
OK but afterwards I was feeling 1. lethargic and 2. kinda sick to my stomach, so I suspect that something didn't agree with my body. Oh yeah. This one goes for $3.50 for the smallest bowl (then S$4.50, S$5.50) - which is 50 cents more than other comparable places.
Due to the unhappiness of my stomach (despite the enjoyment of the spicy kick), I don't think I'll return here again. I prefer the one inside Roxy Square (agreeable and doesn't make me feel like my arteries are clogging).

hi my name is so-and-so
Friday was low key. I don't know why I was so tired after work (especially from sleeping so well on Thursday) but I just went home and slept early.
Saturday was a nice and cloudy day (but with a few breezes which were appreciated). I went on the MRT to City Hall, which is right next to a mall (and bought some Aldo shoes to match the black/blue dress that I bought).
By the way, Baby, you called me today! I was a happy goon but I was, as you know, headed towards a meeting, so I couldn't talk to you. Sorries baby. You better call me later!
So then I went to the Art Museum. I uploaded all the pictures onto the facebook/picasa (including a pictures of some friends haha) that I managed to take before being told that photography was prohibited. I did write down a few names of some of the artists that I really liked from the "Post Doi Moi" (Doi Moi I'm pretty sure is for "change" "new") where various Vietnamese artists painted - some had political themes, other had historical/family themes. One that I thought was interesting was four vietnamese women in their own respective panels representing hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil - and a fourth - think no evil. But the artist said something along the lines of: to be happy, don't look too much, don't talk too much, don't
listen too much and don't think too much. I will put up some of the pictures later.
Then Saturday night I went to a friend's place (who is from Brooklyn) to eat some dinner and watch some movies. I bought some Mrs. Field's mini cookies (in the shape of reese's cups) along. We ate hamburgers and hot dogs as well as chips. I love seaweed crackers. LOVE. I think I love them more than sesame breadsticks (gasP!). And there are these 'veggie sticks' that are bbq flavored - SO DELICIOUS. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!
Sunday's plan was to go wakeboarding, but everyone was too tired from Saturday night, so I ended up meeting a friend to play some pool. After looking around Boat Quay for a place to play, we ended up walking around Dhoby Ghaut for some Chicken Briyani (which was nice) and somehow saw a sign for the toy museum. One of my friends told me that he went to a toy museum, so I decided to go and check it out. Yeah...lots of pictures on Facebook/Picasa.
After the toy museum, we actually went to meet up another friend play pool on Orchard Rd. I was pooped though!! Then we went to this guy's condo to swim for a bit and eat homemade spaghetti. I miss fettucine alfredo a lot :(. We just had a show and tell session of youtube. I showed some of my friends America's Best Dance Crew (2) and Muto. You have to check out Muto. It's a little disturbing, but the amount of time, effort, and art that went into it makes it amazing.
I did a back tuck into the pool and two aerials. My first aerial wasn't so great (ouch) but the second one I did much better. The tuck was fine, but let's see if I end up going to Dubai anytime soon. If I won't, then I won't go sign up for a gymnastics open gymmy thing on Thursday nights. The first one was for stretching anyways). I did some jumps, but I'm starting to do some yoga stretches (from youtube), so hopefully by the end of august I will be back in a flexible condition then. Toe touch was all right and r herkie were ok, but the pike was awesome. I was really happy with my pike for some reason - maybe because you feel more secure doing it into a pool. I didn't try an around the world just because I probably would have severely injured myself. I still hate the double nine. STUPID DOUBLE NINE!
I was exhausted when I came home, and after a long meeting today, I am at home and about to nap after uploading the pics on FB.
Love, sansies
