My Blue Heaven

Shoot the moon

Its 11:24pm.. and I’m full, content and tired. Spent most of the evening exercising and just finished my rather filling dinner of 1/4 crispy aromatic duck with pancakes, hoisin sauce, cucumbers and shallots. Mmmm.. (Its become one of my fave takeaways from Mr Liu’s. In fact its the only thing I ever order there. Just 6 quid too!)

I had myself an awesome session of exercise tonight. Finally decided to go for a swim at a nearby leisure centre. But before that, I decided it would be a good idea to incorporate a jog.. so taking a very roundabout route, I spent the next 20 mins jogging to the pool, with a backpack on my back. Then at the pool I broke my record…. for the first time ever… I swam 1km!!! Yep, 40 laps of the 25 metre pool. I’m proud of me! 😀 Spent a good 15/20 mins relaxing & stretching in the sauna, had a shower then walked to buy dinner and walked back home. Boy did I feel goooood after all that. 😀

It’s been a while since I’ve had a really decent exercise session like that.. where you feel really relaxed afterwards. I totally needed it too – after the amount of food I consumed over the weekend. Kazzart = Piggy. Heh.

My weekend was pretty good. Went to see The Island at the nicest cinemas I’ve been to in London (West India Quay, out near Canary Wharf). I rather liked the movie – it was very exciting and action-packed, and quite well done. I like Ewan McGregor. And Scarlett Johansson is quite pretty in this movie. Raised some interesting moral questions too. Other than that, went to a friend’s birthday do on Sunday arvo. And also did some chinese grocery/food shopping! I was taken to the main asian grocery stores and cake shops in china town.. where you can get all your typical chinese goods. It made me feel all nostalgic… coz I guess its the thing that is most similar to home for me – chinese are the same everywhere! And guess what else I discovered (for you WS guys!)… they had INDO MIE MI-GORENG noodles in one of the shops!!!! Hahahahahah. How cool is that!! I was so happy I bought 2 packs. 😀 They also had milo! So I bought myself a tin of that too. Other purchases included some fresh udon noodles, instant cup noodles for work, and a few packs of frozen dim sums to steam at home (some man tao, har gao, and siew mai), and some fresh baked bor lo bao!

*yawn* Anyways, tis getting late. I should sleep. Gonna need rest to help my body recover. Esp as I’m gonna do a jazz dance class tomorrow nite! Going hardcore… yeh!!!
