Circumferentially challenged

I am.

Cute eh? Just like me! haha!

I skipped gym yesterday evening, a throbbing headache being my excuse, and went shopping for trekking shoes with Chiu instead. And as (my bad) luck would have it, the 2 shops at Beach Road that he frequents were closed. I was disappointed. If I go out with a goal in mind, I usually like to be able to check it off.

He, being the optimistic one, suggested we could still shop around in the area, Bugis, Suntec. And in a bid to cheer me up, he said he'd treat me to dessert. ^_^ We walked along, passed a 'Mr Bean' shop and when I stopped and looked at it for a brief moment, he said my eyes seemed to 'light up' at the sight of the 'soya bean ice-cream'. (I've wanted to try it for the longest time but for some reason, just never seemed to do it.) So, he very gentlemenly suggested I have it and without giving me a chance to protest ('I've just had an extremely calorific weekend!'), ordered and bought it for me. I made him share it with me. 'Sharing the fats' make me feel a little better. ha. :p

In the process, my head had lightened immensely. I wonder if it was being out of the office or indulging in sweets that did it.

Our initial plan was to head to a dessert place around Bugis street for some Chinese-styled ones. After the ice-cream though, I had thought that was it. Chiu surprised me by saying he thought we were still going for more. (See, I really can't hang out with friends like this much. O_o) Anyway, we went ahead. Ah Chew's desserts. He had a hot 'yam sago' and I had a cold 'papaya steamed in milk'. Interesting eh? The Chinese believe papayas are good for, *ahem*, nourishing certain female assets. But no, (yes, it was) that wasn't the reason why I chose that. It's not a commonly encountered dessert, so must try mah. :D It looked like boh boh char char though. Payaya's one of my favourite fruits (an acquired taste) so it was good and the milk tasted sweet, wonder if that was from the payaya or if they added sugar. It shouldn't come as a surprise that I 'bounced' (sugar-overload) home. haha.
