Good Carb Day : A Walk Around The Block

It was a stressful day. How you react to stress can make or break you - either you go absolutely bonkers or take it calmly.

These days, I am more philosophical. This is what happened. I submitted a statutory document and after the submission, I realized that the document contained a factual error. Darn! How did I miss it???!!!

My bad. I was careless. Is it the end of the world? No. Whatever is done, is done and cannot be undone. However, I can submit a rectification. Sure there is a penalty.

But that is the price to pay for being careless. Treat it as a lesson. An expensive mistake. That would make me more cautious in future.  Nobody is going to die. So it is all good. Move on.

Then I went for a leisurely late lunch. To decompress.

I was at Halla Holla, Damansara Jaya, a day after their refurbishment.

The decor does not look very much different, just that it was more airy and neater.

I had an iced latte. It was wonderful!

And my favorite Beef Focaccia sandwich. Beautifully toasted. I left a remark in my order for the bread to be lightly toasted only (leaving nothing to chance).

The latte and sandwich soothed my stress way. 

After a carb meal, I like to take a walk to run off the glucose in my blood. So I walked around block surrounding The Starling.

I passed by RT Pastry and saw them advertising their "Roti Lobak Merah Segar" (Fresh Carrot Bread?).

A new burger and fried chicken restaurant AllAce has opened at this corner.

Then I passed by Ryokan Chic Hotel. There are many such budget/boutique hotels in this area.

This is a Chinese restaurant called Tripod Empire. What a funny name. Tripod reminded me of my days at the science lab. You know, those tripod stands.

Then I passed by Uptown 37.

After one round, I was back at my starting point. Then I went for another round.

After that, some stair climbing.

Some more steps.

And then into The Starling for a spot of escalator climbing. Some of us are just bonkers.

I climbed up to the cinema. It was very quiet since it was a week day.

On my way down, I passed by Little Puff. They are now serving cream puffs with ice cream.

When I got back to the office (all sweaty), I checked my total numbers for the day. Not bad. That walk around the block and all that stair climbing took something like 40 minutes.
