Why am I not surprised that Sydney is raining all weekend? Ah well, at least it isn't storming as badly as last weekend. At least I've got some bright blue skies on Friday and an hour or two of sunshine now. I managed to squeeze out pockets of me-time. I read and chilled. I went walking and soaked in the fresh air.
Despite the gloomy weather this weekend, I didn't stay in. Had to work out the kink in the neck on the machines at the pilates studio. Glad to have met the friends for lunch on Saturday; got some hugs, laughter and delightful conversation that didn't involve more killing of brain cells. Those are food for the soul, priceless.
Fancy meals, light bites; posh restaurants, chic cafes and homecooked all. I'm thankful that on this trip, there's been plenty of good food. They're healthily cooked with the freshest ingredients. There's been alot of barramundi and crisp salads. The one unhealthy thing I had was probably the fish and chips. Hehehehhehe. It's by far the most oily item ingested and the stomach definitely protested after that.
It does help that food is delicious and I needn't think too hard about what to eat or where to go. Weekdays are filled with arrangements done by colleagues or counterparts. Only this weekend, I get to rest and think about where I want to go. There isn't any Singapore dishes I'm craving because I'm eating all the things that are usually on the my plate at home! Although I do miss the Bedok chwee kueh a little. Most of all, I miss that pungent smell and spiciness of sambal.
