Slack Week

Super Duper Slack Week ....  

I cut down on my exercise this week due to the pain on my leg ... Spin on Mon & Wed, swam on Mon.  By Wed the pain was enough to make me feel totally wiped out during the spin ... I knew I had to rest ...

But I'm glad I had a pretty good sociable week ....

Tues
Met up with Al, my long-time friend, for dinner and to get something from him. Had dinner at New York New York, AMK Hub. Weekday and yet got to queue for dinner! -__-"
Food turned out to be quite lousy, with staff who doesn't know the difference between wedges and fries, and who gave me the bill when I didn't ask for it, only for me to realise it was a bill for another table, with the change in it! *shake head*
Only saving grace was their mud pie. That was the only thing that tasted nice. At least Al enjoyed it.

Wed
Spent a relaxing and wonderful afternoon with mom.  Had lunch @ Victor's Kitchen, followed by retail therapy and lots of easy chit chat during the shopping spree ..
Also had dinner at one of the places that I've been wanting to go for ages - Curry Flavour.
We both loved the curry! I'm also quite surprised that mom enjoyed miso soup! Mom isn't a Jap food fan and I thought she would find miso soup a tad too odd for the taste buds. Boy, was I wrong! :P
Was a good afternoon off for me ...

Thur
Met up with a friend whom I have not met in years! Ever since she got married and moved to Paris. She is now back for good, and very much living like a tai-tai (just without the airs). Its very good to hear her voice after so long. She is someone whom is so full of zest, so easy going and happy, its almost contagious. We had dinner at Clarke Quay while catching up ... always nice to hear her stories ... and she just has so much to tell ... while I'm always the boring one just happy to sit back and listen to her stories ;P

Fri 
Home cook dinner! Yumz!

Sun
I'm going to bring mom to see the movie 881 tomorrow. Yah, quite surprised that I would want to watch that show, but saw in the news many old folks seem to enjoy that show, so thought it would be a good chance to bring mom to catch that show. Anyway, its been decades since she last step into a theatre i think. Let's see whether that movie is any good ...

Leg still hurt though ... losing the momentum to exercise and haven't got my lazy butt off to try and run.  But on the other hand I also do not wish to aggravate it any further ... not sure when I will resume my regimen ... but I better at least go for a swim or something before i lose all motivation.  I even went to the doc's to get some muscle relaxant.  Not sure it would help, but at least the mild pull/pain wouldn't bug me as much ...
