Hello Everybody! Hello Dr. Nick! So today I'd the last day of the 4-day long weekend. Coincidentally today is Easter Monday and April Fool's day. If that's so; do you call today as Easter Fool's day? LOL. I didn't do any fooling around nor anything Easter-y. First, I don't have much money for play so I stayed at home... Alone. Also its been a rainy Hong Kong; so lazy to go out. Second, I'm not Christian or Catholic anymore; I only do Christmas because its a game to me now that is fun to play. Talking more about holidays another one is coming up this Thursday. Ching Ming festival where Hong Kong-ese visit the departed.
So what have I been doing the past 4-days? As I've said last time , day 1 I went grocery shopping. Day 2 I went to my colleague's wedding. It was a lunch buffet... An all-you-can eat buffet. Quite sad when I'm on this diet, I can't eat too much. I did liked this mushroom salad. It's a mix of different mushrooms and with this sort of soy-saucy dressing but it wasn't salty. I didn't take a picture which looking back I didn't take that much food pictures. But I always do on previous events, probably because I'm on diet and I don't want to drool and crave. Now if you all remember I did make a sort of deal about what I was gonna wear. I went shopping the day before for this red shirt with very small plaid design. I was looking for red with tiny white polka dots but that was the closest I can get and it was on discount too. So my whole getup was the red shirt, blue pants, blue suspenders, a silver tie and a hat. It didn't dawn on me when it was brewing in my head but when I got the whole look together I looked like Mario. We were supposed to go karaoke afterwards because we were done by 15:00 but everybody was ill. Either ill already or starting to be.
Day 3, I went grocery shopping again after doing my bank run. So I added some changes to my current diet. Lets look back first, my current diet includes, fruit shake for breakfast, lunch either healthy (subway or kebab) or a full meal, then another fruit shake and egg (or egg salad sandwich) for dinner. I added blueberries for my fruit shake. My recipe before was soy milk, banana and protein powder (not the body builder one, just for shakes) and now with blueberries. I was expecting a bit of zest from it but I didn't get any. A lot of people do say that blueberries are good for a lot reasons like its blue, it's a berry and Starbucks sells it with their cheesecake LOL.
Then I bought a lot of instant oatmeals which I am experimenting for now based on the taste that will replace my lunch. I got all Quacker, which costs about HK$ 20-30 for 5 packs. So I got chicken and mushroom flavor, corn, ham and cheese flavor and strawberry flavor. I had the chicken and mushroom flavor for lunch today I added more salt because it didn't have any taste. I know, I know, I'm not supposed to but it did bring the flavor out and I liked it. I will definitely buy that next time. I also have a sandwich together with the oatmeal that is why I think I didn't feel hungry. I also have some kernel corns left so I might add it as suggested on the box. I have been drinking a lot of tea the past 2 days as well. To detoxify my body; get the toxins out and clean the body. I was thinking of buying avocados for my fruit shake but I didn't because they are a bit pricey; HK$7 each and it's not even a big avocado!
I have started my Spring Cleaning. I rearrange my kitchen, cleaned out some crap in my room like winger clothes and duvet. I was able to clean the toilet as well did some mopping as well on the rest of the house. I added some antiseptic liquid and Clorox... Bleach! I forgot what Clorox is actually called because Clorox is the product name and not the product. So I mopped the floors to disinfect and kill some germs and bugs that human eyes can't see. I haven't finished cleaning and sorting the place but I will get there. I changed my bed sheets and washed the dirty ones as well as do laundry. I also did some redecorating while I was procrastinating my cleaning. I've added pictures above my TV which I really like but I'm missing 1 more and I only have 2. So first picture I put up is the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco. Second picture is the Buddhist Temple of Singapore. Why did I choose this 2 picture? It's because I dreamt of working in either of the countries/cities.
Of course while I'm cleaning (actually sitting and laying about) I am watching TV shows which comprise of Grand Designs, Miranda, The New Yankee workshop and Ghost Hunters. I'm re-watching a lot of Grand Designs, I think I will make more posts on some of the episodes which features houses or construction that I like. I didn't like Restoration Home and Restoration Man, mainly because there are too much crap and gimmicks. Unlike Grand Designs, the 2 other shows focuses too much on the gay guy and girl dweeb going through the history of the place they are covering which is very annoying. Same goes for Restoration Man it even has the dude make fake drawing or pretend he is drawing stuff. Not good. I prefer the Grand Design style where they focus on construction step by step. I think I will also write about Miranda because I am loving it, especially Gary he just cute and funny.
I used to watch the New Yankee Workshop when I was younger. The show is about woodwork featuring the craftsmanship of Norm Abraham. I was and still am, fascinated with the projects he does. It goes from Gazeboes and cabinets; just a lot of Woodwork. While watching the shows, I do feel like I want to be like Norm but after awhile there's too much work and I will just watch then buy from the local furniture shop LOL. Lastly, I just discovered Ghost Hunters which I found out is different from Ghost Adventures. The latter has an annoying cast and felt too fake. Ghost Hunters is like Ghost Adventures but with less testosterone and Arnold Schwarzenegger-ism. This show is sort of like My Ghost Story but with the actual following of the investigators. I think I will write more about some of the episodes on later posts with more details from the episodes.
So that's it for now, work starts again tomorrow which I'm dreading because it is a sandwich holiday which is always a bad feeling. It is because it feels like a holiday but it isn't and you have no choice but to work. Anyways... Have a good night and good... Wink wink!
