Have been feeling fat and bloated for the past week and that's probably part of the reason why I am so grouchy. Sometimes I think I'm just being paranoid but when the elephant stares back in the mirror, I know the fats don't lie.

It's the evil Seafood Buffet, I tell you. We brought our dad to the droolicious Vienna Restaurant where they have a wide array of choice seafood and top-notch delicacies. It was also a dinner buffet. After a bowl of 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall' (where the only big-shot is the lone abalone; okay the herbal soup was really nice too), it was literally Let It Rip with the rest of the food.

Fresh oyster baked with melted cream and cheese,(topped with fish roe!),
Fresh LIVE oyster in the shell,
Abalone fried rice,
Random slices of abalone in sweet sauce,
Sharks' fin soup,
Steamed spanner crab,
Chilli spanner crab,
Normal pepper crab,
Baked crayfish topped with melted cream and cheese,
Tiger prawns,
Cereal prawns,
.... WAH serious.

Plus! Japanese fare like sushi--and not the low-cost egg and crabstick kind--
Full-fledged stuff like salmon hamasaki, unagi, premium salmon roe inari, salmon sashimi, maguro sashimi, octopus sashimi, chawanmushi, hashima (xue3 ge1)..

AND they have LOADS of yummy desserts!! They have cold prawns with peaches in dainty little cups, fruit cocktails with other stuff that I didn't try, also a small selection of cakes and pastries, puddings, cocktails (in glasses and test-tubes[?!]), ice-cream...

Oh they also have a teppanyaki section where you choose your dory or codfish or salmon, or other stuff like beansprouts or kailan or whatever, and they'll cook it for you on the spot.

And the cherry that tops all these goodies off is: they are Free Flow! Replaced as soon as they are out, steaming hot! And you are not charged for 'food wastage'. So if you don't like it, leave it, and move on to greater delicacies! Haha.

Yah, see. That was the most guilty pleasure in a long long time.

So what was I saying... Oh, yes, hence the sudden impulse to RUN today. Actually it wasn't that sudden--except it rained on the first day and then I woke up late on the second... etc. SO I attempted a 4.2km run.

First run in a long time.

Needless to say it was a rather sorry attempt.

Oh well. Ok lah, will attempt more er... later this week. Wahaha.
