I also had to stay in the office to manage a few things and as such I had to deliver mum's lunch early.
This was my first meal of the day. Soup that I cooked on Sunday (with 3 eggs added when reheated).
Mum suggested that I get sandwiches for her, not just for that day, but for the next day as well. She wanted to save me the delivery trip on Wednesday (today).
My mum is a very considerate and practical person. I appreciated her thoughts and welcomed her suggestion. Besides, I hurt my back on Monday (but dare not tell mum because I don't want her to worry).
These were the sandwiches that I picked up for mum from 7 Cafe by 7 Eleven.
I took this photo from the overhead bridge when I saw pigeons enjoying food that someone scattered on the road for them.
I could not help taking notice of these two rose plants. It was a perfect time to snap photos (the light was soft).
Although it was still early and the sun was not strong, I was already sweating buckets.
I am a sweaty person. LOL!
Around noon, I nipped out for my second meal of the day.
Chicken Bakar N Rice at Red Kettle.
Of course I had to have an Ice Long Black.
The Chicken Bakar N Rice comprised rice topped with a grilled chicken leg doused with a delicious dark sweet and savory sauce.
I love the two chili condiments. There was also a small serving of sambal tempeh (which was really good).
A squeeze of the calamansi lime elevated the taste of the grilled chicken. I also love the coriander leaves on top of the chicken (I wish for more hah..hah...)
I closed my eating window at 1:30 pm after having a serving of kefir back at the office.
I found this amusing poster on Instagram.
I had a good laugh at the last cat - orange tabby fired on first day at work! And Ah Boi as security guard? LOL!
But I don't agree (based on IQ) because my cute and cuddly Girl is very smart.
But she may be fired for sleeping on the job.
And this was her partner in crime, Belle Belle. I miss Belle Belle. Haiz!
Dear friend, I am so sorry to hear that you hurt your back. I hope 🙏 you are not in much pain.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, Linda. I am on the mend and thank you for your concern. It's just a tad sore, other than that, I am up and about!
DeleteDear Ph, I like the quote and illustration. The cat illustration about cat 🐈 corporate jobs made me smile. Your meals look nice and your cat photos bring me much joy, as do your posts and friendship.
ReplyDeleteAh, so kind of you to say so my friend!
DeleteHey there high five to you and your mom! I am a practical person too. No LV, Prada, Kate spade bags etc, which you can only one miserable pack of tissues etc, muahaha. I buy my bags and clothes from Pasar pagi and pasar malam and they are so useful and practical!
ReplyDeleteHigh 5 phiak! hah..hah... yah, me too. All my accessories are el cheapo. Cheap and good!
DeleteI had eaten 7 eleven sandwiches before and they were convenient and yummy too! Your second meal at Red Kettle would be what I would love to have, balanced meal with rice, herbs, tempeh, white meat chicken, chili (which helps in metabolism) and last but not least ice long black to balance off everything.
ReplyDeleteI like the Family Mart sandwiches but sometimes they don't stock up the fresh supply early in the morning. Wah, I like your opinion about my Red Kettle meal!
DeleteBlack cats like ah boi got the evil eyes which can "scare off" any robbers, rapers, molesters and people with illegal acts muahaha. Their black colours also help them to camouflage in the dark and appear behind bad peoples' backs 😂
ReplyDeletehah..hah... what you said makes sense! LOL!
DeleteLovely past photos of Ah Girl and Belle Belle. Hah hah, your quote and illustration, either read from L to R or R to L, they mean the same thing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWell, it has opposite but positive meaning.
DeleteBelle Belle looked like my TRI colour neighborhood cat near Seng Shiong supermarket which I shared the photo with you before.
ReplyDeleteYes, I remembered that cat photo you sent me!
DeleteWhat methods you use to heal any back ache or back pain or muscle ache 💪? Western medication or acupuncture or ask your partner to massage for you?
ReplyDeleteI used what my doctor advised previously when I had a slipped disc. I use cold gel pack treatment, about 30 minutes each time, twice a day. It is effective.
DeleteGood. Natural remedy
DeleteYup. Just take out from the freezer and lie down on it.
DeleteHope your back is feeling better today. 🙏
ReplyDeleteMust salute 🫡 you for still walking so far to send food to your mom with a bad back 💪 please take good care 🙏💕
I want that glass of Ice Long Black 😋
Much better, thanks! Well, this backache is considered mild compared to what I experienced before. So I could still make the walk though it felt a bit sore. Ice long black is my favorite drink!
DeleteYour chicken looks well bakar-ed...and like you, when I see coriander as a topping, I always wished there was more. Oh dear, looks like your Girl is fired on the first day of work and my Poppy is an unpaid intern. Haiz, can't depend on them for finances, can we? Looks like they're our dependents for life! Wuahahahaha!
ReplyDeletehah..hah... we happily support our girls since they bring us such joy! Even when they are naughty, we can't be angry with them. Haiz! LOL!
