As mentioned earlier, I had banana leaf rice for lunch with the Churchmans and felt quite full. I thought of skipping dinner and by 7.30p.m. a girlfriend popped by to tell me that her mom had finally chosen her wedding date. Then she asked me to accompany her for a food tasting journey at one of the hotels in Penang.
Frankly, I did not want to eat any more but went along to give my opinions. Over dinner, we talked about the wedding gown, table arrangements, tea ceremony and the usual paraphernalia needed for weddings. During dinner, my cousin from Hong Kong called and when he heard that I was at yet another dinner, he said, "Weyyyyy!!! Watch that waistline!"
Sighs...I know. :-( It almost feels as though there is a food conspiracy going on to fatten me :-(. Here's a preview of what I had tonight...
It is not just the waistline but also my reading. I have not read the news thoroughly for the past few days and have no clue as to what has been happening. There is so much to do and so little time to do it. I just hope that I can wind down by tomorrow.
Hence, I have not been able to do any social-political posts for the past few days.
Honestly, I surrender already!!! No more makan sessions please!!! I dread to think of what may happen to my already missing waistline.
Do bear with me. I will definitely write on some current issue by tomorrow!

Stanley Goh You are in a very enviable situation for someone who just loves to eat. I just cannot see good food go to waste so I happily let it go to my waist instead.
The time for feasting is just around the corner so go the extra mile for those lovely things piling on the table. You can always peel of those pounds after CNY. All the best and Happy Chinese New Year to you and your family.

:-) Thanks for your encouraging comment. Am glad you like my blog. Positive feedback such as yours gives me the impetus to carry on. Oh - I have put on a lot since I became a blog addict. Previously, I was a gym addict and my mates are still trying to lure me back haha. Take care and may you enjoy the festive season with your loved ones and friends. Do keep in touch!
Cheers

Great to hear from you! Thanks for your supportive comment. Alas, at my age, it is not as easy to peel off those pounds like in the past. Still, life is worth living...:-) Take care and have a fantastic new year with your loved ones and friends. Do keep in touch!

Chester Khuan No comments on your waistline cause I'm fighting an expanding one myself. I would like to crusade for the plight of sharks though. Would you recommend your friend to change sharkfin soup to other soup that is equally meaningful?

Unknown Hi Chester
Welcome to the no waistline club :-). Oh that one was not sharksfin soup but fish maw soup with seafood. I stand with you in campaigning against the cruel slaughter of sharks for the sake of tickling the palate of some. Take care and have a happy new year! Do keep in touch.
Cheers

Don't need to woory too much about putting on weight. You don't look too overweight. I am sure you eat moderately and as it's the festive season that's the excuse.
