Pre-trip

Feeling a bit guilty about last nite dinner calories yet again..but just a bit since my fave item(pizza) was not available - '1 less pizza to burn' as 'someone' helpfully pointed out..but still there's the $50 wine which hurts my pocket somewhat more than my waistline..i should start spending less..given that i'm not exactly the highest earner in this part of the world..

ANYWAY...

Forgot exactly when and why we started talking about going for a trip..was it cos of BF? Anyway, so wei & i just sort of, anyhow, decided we wanted to go for a trip together..somewhere..sometime..

A random search on airlines threw up some possibilities(read as: those with $0 airfares), and we agreed on Kuching(wat's there - the most common qn asked before and after the trip; till now my answer is 'nothing much but it's doesn't really matter')

So wei & i met up one fine day..with the intention of settling some details, such as air tic, etc..But with not much research done by either of us, we didn't go too far into planning the 'wat-to-do's..and ended up pretty much just talking and chatting about everything other than the trip..

And as i was sending Wei home, we realised tat's all we did..confirm dates of the flights(not even booking the air tics due to unstable connection)..we didn't even discuss about accomodation..hmm..not too fruitful for a 3 hours meetup..

A chance article in some random magazine mentioned about a certain longhouse stay in Kuching - seems like a great idea for people who're not too much into planning - a booking for 2 was made.

And this sums up our pre-trip preparation..

Oh wait, we did discuss about our check-in bags too..while i was on the way to the airport..a fact that wei realised when she heard the mrt announcement over the phone 'i can tell you're already on your way hor'..

Diet & ZXL

Came into my blog..with the intention of blogging about the trip..then i saw the word 'Diet'..so i decided to off-track a bit..

Yes, i need to diet..a weigh-in at the gym yesterday revealed that i gained a teeny weeny bit of weight..i'm usually ok with some, but not too much, weight gain..but this time i'm convinced that my weight gain is due to excessive eating(as opposed to muscle gain)

Before i even worked off those Kuching calories, i went for a $52 buffet on Tues..where seafood and desserts were like the main courses..darn..felt so guilty, walked home after tat..'someone' commented i was crazy..

And later today, i'm going to wine & dine again..after which i will 'whine & diet'..

'Someone' help me ok?

Diet Coke & Wei

Oh yes..that's what i realised after travelling with Wei for 4 days..our first trip together in 16 years..

Wei is a BIG fan of diet coke..after chugging down cans & cans of diet coke during the trip, or more specifically, at the longhouse, where the said drink is happily available 24/7, foc..

More about the trip coming up..
