A New Year in Japan

 

It is sunny but quite cold in the afternoon with a temperature between 4 and 5 the whole day. I kind of like the slightly cold weather but does not like the chilly wind.

As far as Covid 19 goes, it is bad in the big cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Fukuoka is not as bad although it is worse than in SG. Tokyo record and average of 1,000 new cases a day. Japan as a whole record around 3,500 to 4,000 a day in recent months.

Celebrating birthday with my close relatives. Ambience and food is good but best of all is the companionship.

Sheng Siong supermart overcharged by mistake?

 

We bought 2 bundles of spinach (1 red & 1 round) from Sheng Siong supermarket this morning but was charged for 3 bundles (2 red & 1 round). We didn't realised it until we got home when we, out of curiosity, checked the receipt. Could this overcharging a mistake on the part of the cashier? Could this "mistake" be made frequently without the customers knowing it? We seldom check the receipt against what we bought as we trust the supermarket. We could have disputed the matter but the supermaket is a distance away and it's not worth our time and effort to travel all the way to rectify the issue. I blog the matter so as to bring awareness to all.

Still maintaining my weight

I cooked the bee hoon and spinach or bayam and had them for lunch.The curry puff was for dinner. The bee hoon was stir fried with chopped garlic and small pieces of meat. The same went for the spinach. Of course, I used a little bit of oil and light soya sauce. I also made my own yogurt and had it for afternoon tea. All in all my weight still remained the same (69.4 kg) when I got up this morning.

How I made my yogurt

I mixed a teaspoon of honey and apple cider vinegar and stirred well. Then I poured fresh milk into the mixture and voila my homemade yogurt!

 Bingo!my weight is 69.4 kg on waking up!

My weight has stabilized

 Since my weight has stabilized around 69.2/69.4 kg, I am able to enjoy my favorite hawker food without feeling guilty.

I had sliced fish in soup with bitter gourd and lettuce plus a bowl of rice for lunch

and a bowl of Eng's noodles as well as some hay pia for dinner. With these food, I am confident I will wake tomorrow morning weighing in the low 69 kg. Below are pictures of today's meals.

Determined to control my body weight

After 2 days of gorging on tim sum and Thai food,I gained 800 grams of weight. As a health freak, I was terribly disappointed with myself. So to counter the weight gain, I stuck to food like vegetables and fish with a bowl of rice over 2 days, I managed to not only lost the 800 I've gained but lost a total of 1.6 kg.
