Bad Carb Day : No Choice

Yesterday was an extra stressful day.

I had to resolve a work issue since last Saturday. I kept getting errors and at some point I felt defeated. But I told myself "You are an accountant. You can solve this!" 

And indeed I did. Took me almost the whole day. In the midst of it all, I had to go out and deliver lunch to my mum. Then I come back, all sweaty, and worked on my problem again.

And then I had to eat. I wanted to go to Duo Kopi but they were full. So no choice I made my way to Yitcha Kaw Kaw Kopitiam for a quick lunch. I wanted something light and fast.

I swore not to eat such things as these are full of carbs/sugar.

But they were good heh..heh... Carbs somehow make me happy especially when I am stressed out.

The egg tart and bursting kaya puff were washed down with my favorite Kopi C ais kosong. All that for RM12.05.

These were the products on display at the cafe. Then I left to get back to my work. And praise the Lord, he gave me the wisdom to solve my accounting issues. Numbers all balanced and good to go woohoo!

And then my books arrived. Recently Open Trolley had a sitewide discount of 15%, so I took advantage of the sale.

Let's see what I got.

I read James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small (from my grandfather's library) when I was a teenager. It was delightful, stories from the Yorkshire dales when Mr Herriot practiced as a vet. There was a lot of humor too.

And then some gossipy stuff.

Meghan and Harry : The Real Story. Not that I am a fan of these too, I think they are a disaster. But rather I am a fan of Lady Colin Campbell (affectionately known as Lady C). I have already read Revenge by Tom Bower which was an excellent read regarding these two, Meghan in particular.

Lastly, How to Lose Your Mother by Molly Jong-Fast, the daughter of author Erica Jong.

For those of you old enough to remember, Erica Jong is the author Fear of Flying, a book which I have never read and most likely never will since it is not my area of interest.

So there, my books to keep me entertained and my brain ticking.

This was dinner, my favorite kimchi jigae. It was a good day after all.
