Happy Tummy = Happy Weekend

Its time to grumble again as the weekend comes to an end.. 
What an enjoyable weekend, with the theme being "Great Food"..

What is weekend without sleeping in? No alarm clocks.. just when it feels right (read: when hunger strikes).

Pic from PenangInfo.com - me forgot my camera sigh..

On Saturday, I finally went over to Ecco Cafe. Been wanting to go like forever since my French teacher told me about the place. Just never know exactly where...


I like the place.. one small quirky shop lot, with some interesting old charm deco..


The BF ordered Chicken Pot Pie (my recommendation hehe) and he loved it. This coming from someone who rarely eat western... ;)

I on the other hand, went back for my all time favourite - Hawaii Pizza and pineapple juice.

 I left my camera at home, so no pic.. this is from google..
Ecco Cafe is now open on Sunday too. Closed on Monday.

Address: 402, Chulia Street 10200 Penang
Opening Hours: 1130 - 1430, 1830 - 2230
Actually came to think of it, I ate pizza for brunch, tea, and dinner .... o.O

I headed Leo Books @ Island Plaza next, also a place I've been wanting to go.

Tucked at the right corner on the first floor. The BF kept suggesting maybe the shop went out of business by now? :P Very bad fella...

I found a book by Chitra Divakaruni - Queen of Dreams for RM15 only! Still in very good condition :D Too bad that is the only book they have by the same author. I was hoping they'd carry Mistress of Spices too. (I got very interested after watching the movie a couple of weeks back)

*to insert pic after I download them*

After about 2 hours browsing.. tummy was making noise.. so off we went to Edo Ichi, Japanese Restaurant.



Absolutely love the Salmon & Unagi Pizza RM30, and Salmon Fillet RM28..
Generally on the pricier side, but I love the food there.

Next stop, MPH @ Gurney Plaza. I wanted to get a book which was featured in the papers - Good Boss, Bad Boss. There was a 25% coupon which made me wanting to go badly haha. RM59.90 before discount.. and got a couple of mags as well.

Time to go home after spending half day out.. Went for a jog downstairs, there were kids cycling around. Arrgghhh jogging with constant "roadblocks". Had a really good sweat though.. hoping to maintain this :)

Dinner at the coffee shop just outside my condo. Hmm yep pizza made by middle east guy. What I didn't like was his friends nearby was smoking!
Other than that, the food was just ok.. for RM4.

The BF went to watch his footie and I spent the night reading and ahh keeping up with all the blogs I've been wanting to read..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Today is meant for more relaxation lol. I had the best curry mee near the Kuan Yin temple.. I forgot the name of the coffee shop.. But my regular murtabak stall was closed, so I opted for curry mee. Great choice Foxy!

After lunch, went back home. I started to clean my wardrobe (ughhhh) while The BF zzzzzz (yes, such a pig lol). We chose Tom Yum for dinner tonight, skipping the jog.

And it started raining... perfect with a bowl of tom yum noodle.. ahhh...

Time to sleep for a better week ahead :)

Bleh-ry Day

Today is such a bleh day for me..

Apart from the grogginess since Friday, nothing I did seems familiar / right.

- I've got shaky hands just getting a couple of dollars out of my purse.
- I felt like I'm walking on pebbles in the office (office floor for Pete's sake).
- I can't type one freaking sentence without making 1763653 typo errors.
- I feel high / dizzy / dungu (stupid) most of the time.
- My head feels like being hit by a rock.
- I have body aches all over, suddenly out from the closet. My knees feel wobbly, my waist as if a giant just squeezed me dry.
- I ate normal today but am feeling a lot of gas in me now, trapped! Blarrrdy hell...

Hoooyah.. ok I'm done whining.. 
Now what can I do to knock myself out?

I need quality sleep, yo!

 ... When I met up with a close buddy - twice in a week, after work.
Lol, usually I'd be slaving at work till close to 8pm, and then lug my ass to a quick dinner before heading home, feeling dead.

Ok, yes I needed a trip to the mall because I have to pay some bills (there you go!), add a great company who can yak like theres no tomorrow is a bonus, no?

It was supposed to be a quick trip to the mall for:

- We want the Lancome sample kit
- Quick dinner (both must eat, she has hyper metabolism, I'm groggy from the medication)
- I want another set of Gui Ling Gao (yummy!)
- Yes, the bank to pay bills
- The Loreal Shampoo Exchange

So what happens when you put two crazy women who can yak, together?

- We got the Lancome sample kits. It was a breeze, no sour faced SA treatment what-so-ever. The SA even taught us to use the pinching method in applying the serum and cream. Likes!

- We didn't get to exchange the Loreal Shampoo.. the promoter went home!? Heck the flyer states till 8pm! We were there at 7pm! Sulks!

- Dinner. Ahem... we kinda stretched it wayyyy too long lol. Topic ranged from anything under the sun Nevertheless the Kimchi Fried Rice was good, though I can't finish off the huge serving (sorry God, my stomach really won't allow all of that).. Cool!

- Gui Ling Gao.. I was supposed to write about this last Friday. Obviously I procrastinated... So anyway, I was also supposed to write about my allergy reaction on my face.. and you obviously ... I...  (ok lah, so I sort of delayed it!). Got 5 tubs of Gui Ling Gao for RM10.


  I ate one everynight, and loving this alot. I actually fancy this for the detox properties, and this keeps the complexion healthy.  Some may not like the bitter after-taste, but I like it. Slightly sweetened, so honey is optional.

  Why did I went back for another 5 tubs? Cause I actually saw an improvement on my skin. (I didn't really take my medications on time hehe. If you know me well, you wouldn't be surprised). Gui Ling Gao is cooling, so if you're a lady and you're expecting the time of the month, slow down on this yeh. Also if you're a bloke.. they also say you shouldn't take too much of this.. else.. hmmmm

  Anyway, in short, I really love this. And would be going back for more - trying to establish a healthier eating habit.. Each batch of this is encourage to be consumed within 5 days - without preservatives (I don't know how true though). Love!

- Yep, settled the payment @ the bank before heading to the carpark, still yakking. Accomplished!

*Gee suddenly my mind went blank.. what the hell happened?*

Oh ok, single! Well I'm not saying those that are attached don't do all the above. Just that it crossed my mind that all these went by without me worrying about my dog at home (he is at mom's hehe), or will The BF gets worried (he is too far to do anything anyway lol. But yeah he usually prefers to drive me around cause I sometimes gets too tired to drive properly..)

So the 3 hours were fantastic! Came back to a clean home (I spring cleaned yesterday), stored my Gui Ling Gao away, except for one, took a quick shower, wash my face, slap on a cream mask, enjoying GLG (how many times I wanna mention this right?!?), and downloading my thoughts to the blog.

Am currently very attracted to this whole Webs.com thingy.. lol. Just how much time can I spend to maintain my blogs / sites?

Ok bedtime now.. I hope no more insomnia. Didn't sleep well last night.. just as I was falling into deep sleep, I felt a jerk... Halloween?
