Touched

Met up with King Kong for breakfast at Kovan this morning. He mentioned that there was a stall that sells good ba chor mee and wanted me to try. As I knew he would be cooking lunch later on and with the knowledge of my sluggish metabolism rate, I requested to have a few mouthfuls of whatever he was going to order. Guess what? Instead of ordering what he usually had, he ordered mee tai mak and a bowl of fishball soup (lest I would be hungry later on). I felt surprised yet touched at the same time. Despite not a fishball lover, I swallowed a couple : )
While we were on the bus, knowing that I am one who is afraid of the cold (it was raining heavily as well), he wrapped his big arms around me : ) I felt warmth : ) After reading the newspapers and watching TV, he went ahead to cook lunch because he was afraid I might be hungry (Um, not possible as my metabolism is moving like a tortoise : P). Lunch was Teochew porridge, soya sauced pork, fried fish and fried kailan (My art). Quite comforting to eat home-cooked food after a long period of eating unhealthy MSG-cum-oil laden food : )

This is lunch..

Porridge is one of my favorite staple!

After lunch, we proceeded to watch TV and chat. While resting on the bed, I dozed off pretty quickly (sleep debt incurred by insufficient sleep for the past few weeks). Not too sure how long I was in slumberland, but after a while after I woke up, we started preparing for dinner (Again!). Guess the process of preparing ingredients, like marinating the pork and chopping the veggies, is very fun. Usually I dislike getting my hands dirtied and hardly help out at home. Surprisingly, this time round, I actually had the initiative to do the chopping and frying the veggie (and I was glad that I did!). This time round, dinner was steamed rice, chunks of fish in black bean sauce, black-peppered chicken and kailan with succulent prawns (Yes, I was the one who did the last dish : P ). Had a hard time finishing the dishes as we were not that hungry...Had wanted to stop eating, but seeing the effort he had put in the dinner preparation, it didn't hurt to pile on some excess calories (this is the first and last time!).
