Botak Jones

So good that appetite is up! tho I'm stil easily tired & abit groggy from the meds.
This evening, went TPY Lor 1 to check out the new outlet of Botak Jones.
Its actually next to SPH press centre, in a industrial food centre.
Its a weird location but seems its already starting to do brisk business.
I've heard so much raves about it & was so excited to finally try it!
Waited about 20 minutes for my order.....
Its my first time there so I started with the basic 'Botak Burger Set' that comes with spicy fries & coleslaw.








The portions are so huge!
Especially the fries.... covered almost half my plate!
The beef patty was thick & cooked medium well, so it retains its natural juciness ;)~
Yum........
Just as I started to dig in, by coincidence I met a group of fellow stompers!
Familiar pals like twinkles, black, croc, DK, Johan etc & some new frens I met for the 1st time.
Moved my food & stuff to their table and we had such a great evening of sinful food & casual banter!
Isn't that what life's moments are all about.....
Enjoying good food and frens, etc.... ;)
that makes Life so worth living for!

This evening, I went to Plaza S'pura with pal P.
Had a craving for burger and we went Carl's Jr.
I ordered this sante fe chicken burger....a little spicy, tangy. Quite nice.
Then, we went walk around & I had a macadamia nut ice-cream on a cone from Andersen's!


Talk about eating without guilt.....
The best part about being skinny is that I can eat anything I want!

Went Carrefour, managed to find beetroot!
Its about a dollar each for a beetroot thats about the size of a thai mini coconut.
Its not easily available and you can't find it at NTUC or Cold Storage either.
Some friends have been telling me that beetroot has detoxifying properties
& cleansing the blood.
It'd be good if I could take it regularly, especially after chemo.


Later at 9pm, we went to watch "Dreamgirls".
Jennifer hudson was FAB!!
She has a much bigger voice & literally stole the show from Beyonce.
The musical style made it lite & digestible though some parts towards the end got a little draggy.
But still I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
All-Star casts, great soundtrack, beautiful costumes, hip trendy furniture that made part of the sets......
Overall a good show. Loved it! Worth your every dollar.

Gucci Fall Winter 07/08 Menswear Full Show.

Seems skinny hipster pants and hand-carry duffel bags are still in......
The male models these days are so lean, almost on the verge of skinny.
Now that I've lost 8kgs these past few weeks (Not that I want to), I'm now at my lightest ever!
Oh well, anyway thin is 'In' if they say so......

To Market, to Market

Woke up early this morning.
Decide to follow Mom to the market.
We had breakfast at the food centre adjacent to it.
I had a hearty appetite today!
Had Nasi Lemak, then you-cha-kue (fried fritters) with soybean.
Not ate so full for a long time.
Then off we went to buy veggies & fish, etc from the market.
Its been such a long time that I've gone to a wet market. Nowadays it looks very different from the wet markets of the old days.
Not as smelly... and not as wet.
The old ones used to be wet & dirty.
(God forbid that you should ever slip & fall)
In the old days, as a child I remember they actually keep their chickens there.
You pick & choose the one you want and it will be freshly slaughtered & de-feathered right in front of you.... Yikes.
