Stared down by Four Golden Eyes

Yes, I ate a bit too much eggs today again…Four whole eggs, plus 3 extra egg whites, to be exact. Both lunch and dinner featured two gleaming perfect egg yolks, eyeing me steel-fully and accusingly. But I refused to let food make me feel guilty. I gulped down each four of them in one mouthful. Yum.

In my defense, it’s Chinese New Year here is Singapore now, and that is a big event here, equivalent to Christmas in America, so all the stores were closed. There were limited supply in the refrigerator, save the basics like eggs, cheese,some veggies…So I had to make-do with what I had in the fridge.

I think I totally sleep-walked last night! I definitely went to sleep last night on my bed but this morning I woke up on the sofa! What happened? I’m guessing on my way back from my night trip to the bathroom, I must have just flopped over the sofa instead of going back to my room. But anyway, since I was not in my room, I did not get woken up by my alarm clock, so woke up 2 whole hours later than I meant to!

I still had Chinese New Year service to go to this morning, so breakfast was really really rushed. I just threw together whatever fruits I had into a big bowl of yogurt:

The fruits: grapefruit, tangerine, apple, white nectarine, white peach. I would have layered this thing and made it look prettier if I had the time…

When I got back home I was quite hungry, but decided to have lunch at my usual time instead. So to satiate my growling stomach for a while, I ate another whole juicy white peach and a mangosteen (sorry, no pic!)

The extra fruits actually kept me pretty satisfied until lunchtime. For lunch I was really craving sandwiches…unfortunately I didn’t have any deli turkey or meats…I hate how all the deli meats they sell in the regular grocery stores here in Singapore are all full of preservatives…and most of them don’t even have the nutrition facts and ingredients list! Too suspicious…and the color is way too pink and bright to look natural. Ee-yuck. It angers me how you can’t even get a decent slice of meat without having to worry about artificial coloring and weird chemicals and preservatives and what-not.

But anyway, I just decided on an egg, cheese, and tomato sandwich instead. I made two open-faced ones:

You know what would have gone perfect with these? A bowl of warm, thick and creamy pumpkin soup! Too bad I finished it…I’ve gotta make another batch soon!

I had my sandwiches with some mini chicken hotdogs…

And in lieu of soup, I used the liquid from the broken yolks to moisten my bread crusts…

Here’s a bite, with the bread that mopped up the yolk! Per-fect~

After lunch, I went for a short stroll outside, then finished up a book I was reading. Then had some sweet potatoes for snack:

And then dinner:

Eggplasta pudding, this time with more cheese spread on the side.

I’m so glad to see that many of you have responded to my question on the previous post about 3 things you would like to do before you die! It’s great to have some goals and expectations in mind, as it helps keep us focused and motivated. I loved reading your answers, and send all well wishes to you that you may accomplish these goals!

Heartened by your positive responses, I would like to leave you all another question: What are 3 activities (art, sports, music, etc) you would love to excel in if only you had the time/talent/money?

My answer:

1. Figure-skating
2. Hip-hop dancing

3. Martial arts: EE-YAAAH! Jackie Chan wanna-be!
