Last week was a busy week for me and thus, I seems to have abandoned my blog for a week. LOL. Anyway, no worries, yours truly blog will reached the 10th anniversary next year, as I started blogging in 2007 in my previous blog. Thus, I still got a year to go before I can announced retirement... muahahahaha.... Just joking only.
Let me sum up what I have been doing for the Holy Week, which has just ended.
1. Yes, mentioning the Holy Week, I actually took a day off on last Thursday to attend church service as well as avoiding the peak hour jam at the causeway. The clever me managed to avoid the terrible jam and had a peaceful time in church on last Thursday night. Good Friday was a holiday in Singapore so I had a long weekend.
2. I thought of going to Desaru for a staycation but my wifey has other plans over the long weekend and we ended up visited most of the popular malls in JB, like Johor Premium Outlets, Aeon Bukit Indah, Tebrau City and etc. Not a bad idea as we jalan-jalan around instead of staying put in the resort which we just went last October.
3. Work has been piling up and that's the reason I didn't blog much last week and after a workout, it was very late and I feel like relaxing in my room with the air-cond fully blast. However, the workouts, especially running, is good to de-stress.
4. Though my next half-marathon will be held on April 10, I decided to take a break from long distance run last week as I just don't feel like doing it, though I did 5KM with my colleagues as well as in the gym. Not sure why, maybe I have been running weekly since CNY and decided to take a rest. However, I will go back to long distance running this week and next week, before the HM on next Sunday.
5. Oh..though I supposed to fast but I didn't and followed my Chinese colleague for a mutton ribs steamboat. The ribs were already cooked and we just needed to simmer it in the hot soup to warm it up. I love the ribs, it was delicious and the herbal soup was tasty. In fact, I felt warmed after the meal. I guess this is a winter meal in China, where they had it to warm up their body. And, not forgetting dipping the ribs in those peanut sauce.

| Besides the ribs, there are also ham, mushrooms, vegetables, 'spare parts' and etc. |

| The boiling herbal soup... |
I hear the jam at the Causeway was terrible! My niece was stuck there all night to get across to go to KLIA2 to fly back to Sibu on the early morning flight. Didn't sleep at all. So many Singaporeans rushing over for the long weekend?
ReplyDeleteWhenever there's a long weekend , you can always expect the causeway to be congested. That's very normal here.
DeleteOMG !! I've never tried mutton ribs in steamboat before, very fung-foo wei ! Usually just fishballs, hotdogs, sliced pork, some bacon..
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time too! It's very nice and cooked by Chinese . Very authentic !
DeleteGood Friday not a Public Holiday in Malaysia?
ReplyDeleteNope , business as usual there!
DeleteWow TEN years! That is a very long period of time to be blogging. Congratulations for lasting this long. I dunno if I can sustain my blog until ten years or not.
ReplyDeleteMutton rib steamboat? That's something new to me. I don't think we have such a thing here?
I started in 2007 mah , you already in the picture then and a famous and gorgeous blogger. I am sure you blogged longer than me.
DeleteWah! Like small kids, you gave lotsa excuses for hibernating your blog post.
ReplyDeleteI went over to see your old blogs which contain all about foodies! You love to eat since 2007 but now you add in some running activities to balance up. Good boy!
I saw familiar names of Wenn, Claire and Cleiffairy!!
Yeah, during then, my kids are small and we have the luxury to travel around and cari makan. My blog also focus on food then.
DeleteI do eat muttons but not in the steamboat as the smell might scare off other diners as many people do not eat mutton. I remember in Chengdu - China which is famous for the very spicy and hot steamboat with chilly oils. They eat a lot of mutton there and the whole restaurants smelled of kambings. Muahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI believe this steamboat could orginate from there.
DeleteWah nice! I have never had mutton ribs steamboat before but I know I will like it :)
ReplyDeleteThis was also my first time ! It's nice and I want to go back there again.
Deletewah, you also planning for a retirement after your 10th anniversary, hey, too few posts to do that lah, at least have 2000 posts before thinking of doing so!!! hahahahahaha.. wah, the steamboat looks very special, i love the herbal soup and all those veggie and shabu-shabu meat, but not the lamb, i do not like lamb at all.. you had that in SG, do they also have the same in JB??
ReplyDeletehahaha... I didn't know the no. of posts is also a pre-requisite to retirement, besides 10 years of blogging.
DeleteI have never been to Johor Premium Outlets, Aeon Bukit Indah and Tebrau City, usually when I go JB, I will go City Square and KSL, wow you really know how to enjoy life with air con full blast, yes life is short, we should learn how to pamper ourselves sometimes
ReplyDeleteOh please, please do not retire, life has been dull after SK stepped down so pls do not retire, keep on blogging :)
Well, maybe it's time for you to check out these malls too but a bit tough to travel around, though I know there's a bus to JPO.
DeleteYeah lor.. no more SK posts..sigh.
Mutton in a steamboat. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI also did not fast or go vegan last week. Hehe. Maybe will do so next year.
Another year 10 years anniversary! Time flies. I also start blogging in 2007. So next year is my 10th year too.
Well, according to my Pastor, we can also fast on some other things besides food, like facebook, surfing and etc., stuffs which took precedent over God.
DeleteI guess all of us started in 2007 huh? Maybe that was the bloggers booming time!
Being busy is good, live life to the max ma! ;)
ReplyDeleteI also abandon my blog for a week already :p
Yeah, you are right too! I am living to the fullest till I don't have the energy to do some other things...lol
DeleteHey, hey...don't be like that....no more retirement announcement, please :p
ReplyDeletemuahahahha...it's becoming a sensitive word!
DeleteThat's quite unusual! I seldom see Chinese places offering mutton (except very rarely). Maybe I've been going to the wrong places but it seems that Chinese are generally not big on mutton. It looks good.
