guilty pleasures (2)

21 03 2006

my guess is yesterday’s lunch is the most expensive i’ve been to - i don’t do expensive food unless it’s for special occassions - reunions, anniversaries, the likes. good thing is mr amex yang blanja. and not mine. nyehnyeh.

to m.e.s.b. - thanks for the treat.

i normally shy away from food that’s not fried, grilled, baked, boiled (basically every possible cooking method that either adds fat, kills the nutritional value or basically very indulgent) - sushi and the likes was listed as ones i would avoid.

anywho, a few forays into the conveyor-belt-dining experience (genki sushi was introduced to me by ash), i get me an offer to dine at a posh restaurant just next door to my office. only dumb people would turn down the offer, no?

so wasabi bistro was visited upon by 4 talkative ladies + one overwhelmed guy. it’s been awhile since we met up for lunch so it goes without saying that our group was quite noisy in the supposedly intimate bistro setup.

we had sashimi + sushi for appetizers, the tempura + teriyaki set for main and *drum roll* durian pancake as dessert.

have u ever done bollywood aerobics?

15 03 2006

bollywood_dance…. i have!

yup! yessirreeeee… when i walked the mile between klcc (kuala lumpur city center) thru klcc (kuala lumpur convention center) to hla tower, i never would’ve imagined i’d be doing those bollywood moves in a gym (of all places)

yeah, i did perform an indian dance for our price-giving ceremony when i was in primary school. also did some ‘modern’ dancing with my sister to the tunes of old hindi movies in our own home (that was the time pre- ps-oriented dance games & para para sakura)

but seriously, i’d never seriously considered having to do it as part of an aerobics class. i went there on monday thinkin’ i’d be attending a latino aerobics class - salsa, mambo, rueda, cha-cha. we did that for 1/2 an hour, then the instructor asked whether we’d be interested to do bollywood style.

the whole class (twas a big class - all 4 of us!!) were a bit perplexed - but i was curious too. so we went ahead and i started imagining myself the likes of preity zinta, rani mukherjee, manisha koirala (dun ask how i know these names - grew up with a mum who loves hindi movies and ended up with a brother who’s nuts abt preity zinta)

it was definitely something different. no wonder most of hindi stars are curvy. the moves that they do really demands a lot.

will i do it again?

depends on the instructor’s choice of music. the last one sucked big time - sounded more like bhanghra than anything. not that i have anything against bhanghra

anyone interested? meet me at the lobby of tower 1 @ 6pm, mondays.



tagged and finally dun it!
