Forbidden Sandwich...
I
have just gotta try THIS!
It sounds like a artery-clogging, fat-inducing meat fest but it looks really tasty!Just looking at it is making me drool (and put on 2 kg spontaneously!)...
To paraphrase Homer, "Mmmmm. Forbidden sandwich.... *gurgle*"

The Adventures of Silly Girl: Silly Girl Goes to Tokyo!
Silly Girl makes her
first ever trip to Tokyo! Ohayo gozaimasu! Hai!
Silly Girl discovers the wonders of the heated toilet. Ahhhhh, shiok. It's really nice to sit on a warm seat even if the room is a nice toasty 24C. The amazing toilet also does other tricks, like shooting water up Silly Girl's bum. Teeheehee. It also plays music that sounds like flushing water to hide the tinkle sound of pee and the plop sound of poop.
Silly Girl also abandons herself to the pleasures of Japanese food. Tonkatsu from a hole in the wall near her hotel turns out to be pretty darn good, whilst ramen under the train tracks is super yummy. A bowl of beef udon at Narita Airport leads Silly Girl to wonder why she doesn't eat udon more often. Best of all, MOSBurger! Silly Girl has a Cheesy Burger with Special Sauce and it is almost the best burger she's ever had. Silly Girl even licks up the special sauce from the wrapper.
Finally, Silly Girl gets to see the sakura up close and personal. Yay! Silly Girl decides that she likes Japan and will wanna visit more often. :)

Healthy Lifestyle, Anyone?
As part of my 2010 goals I decided to give healthy living a try. I thought I'd try to wake up earlier, get in some exercise before going to work, get more sleep and eat healthier.
3 months into 2010 and my batting average's hovering around .500. Thanks to a new boss, I'm waking up earlier to get to work on time. (Sigh. Getting stuck in rush-hour traffic is NO FUN. But nooooo. I have to be in on time.) And because I have to get to work on time, there goes the option of getting some exercise in before going to work, because I'll be damned if I have to wake up before the sun rises.
I'm also eating healthier by giving up my traditional curry-puff-and-kopi work breakfast. This used to be a workday staple, but now I've switched to muesli and/or granola instead, depending on which one is on sale. It's rabbit food, no doubt, but it's tasty and I get more fibre into my diet as well... I'm still sticking to the kopis and kopi-o's though - some things, like TV channels and lucky socks, should NEVER be changed!
As for sleep, well, that's irregular. All in all, I'd say I'm getting more sleep than before, but not on a nightly basis. Over Good Friday I slept 15 hours, and that was a good Friday indeed! Of course, the nights before I averaged about 4 hours each, thanks to the perils of late-night cable and a TV that's right in front of my bed. Still, the black rings under my eyes are now a lightish-brown so I'd say I'm having some success here.
Most importantly, I've started exercising. My sis dragged us all to this PowerPlate class over at Dempsey and it's tougher than I thought it would be. Pretty good fun though, and two days after the session my arms are still achey. I love the muscle-achey feeling; it's a feel-good pain!
Next up, to get my ass back to softball training AND to finally break 90 on the golf course. Stay tuned! :D
