Alive And Awake

That's how I feel these days and I am so grateful. 


Come lunch time, I was not craving rice or sandwiches because I don't want to feel lousy again. 


So I went to Ding Xiang Sang Nyuk Noodles. Look at the cars outside. Damansara Utama/Uptown is very congested.


This eatery is still very popular. I visited around 1:30pm because I had some work to rush. I usually eat earlier to avoid the lunch crowd.


They are doing so well that they installed this type of seats.


I had my default order of Supreme Mixed Soup.


No noodles. All around me, other diners were enjoying noodles, slurping with wild abandon. Ah! I admit I was a bit envious. Madam! Your brain more important or your stomach?! LOL! Brain. Brain. Of course.


Meanwhile, my partner was having this lunch pack that he picked up from an event he attended.


That looks good. Haiz. LOL!


After lunch I went for a walk at the mall.

Apparently there are other people doing this as well.


This cream puff place, Little Puff is still around. It's a no no for me.

Then I went down one floor to SSF. This year is the year of the Horse.


Hey horsey horsey.... It somehow reminds me of my cute late tuxedo kittie, TuTu.


I thought these horse soft toys are cute.


This one is a funny looking horse.


At the concourse I saw a booth set up for free checkup for Arteriosclerosis. I don't trust these free checkups. I mean, is their machine properly calibrated?

Are the people doing the scanning qualified? Their mission is to get you to sign up for expensive treatments. That's just my opinion.


Dinner. Pork belly bites. Many people still think this is heart attack stuff.


It is not. It is sugar, (refined/processed) carbs, seed oils and ultra processed foods that destroy your heart and health.


I ate this with with kimchi.


I ate only half of the pork belly. I was very full after eating half the amount.


The other half I kept for the next day.

  1. Good morning! Last year year of the snake, we did not put up any CNY "snake" decorations as I do not like the animal snake (but replaced with lion dance etc, decorations). This year we don't mind putting up "horsey" CNY decorations as horse is one of my favourite animals. They look so graceful galloping in the field. When I was in my prime years, I once thought of attending horse riding course in the then Greendale Riding School but in the end didn't materialise. Horses symbolise freedom and gratefulness, they look so beautiful and handsome to me hee hee

    1. Yes, I also find horses very beautiful and elegant! It would be nice to be able to take up horse riding.

  2. Yes dear, gratitude and gratefulness are important as they keep us going. Compared to those in war, who suffered extreme physical pain with lack of food, shelter and clothes, we are already so much more blessed. I am happy to hear you are feeling alive and awake. The quote is so true, stress is the actual killer.

  4. Glad that you're alive and awake (as you put it) after your carnivore reset. Envy that you have a nearby mall which you can use daily to burn calories in such comfort...lol! One of my neighbours (an elderly couple) does just that...they go to Aeon mall daily to do their walkabout too but it's a distance away and I've to drive there (bummer). If not, I wouldn't mind burning calories in cool walking spaces also...hehe! ;)

    1. I am so lucky, right? hah..hah...hah... I heard that some retired folks like to hangout at malls to pass time and to enjoy the free air conditioning. Aeon Bandar Utama might become my second home when I retire. LOL!
