was surfing around for ideas as to what i should bake next.
chanced upon this website with regards to michael phelps and his diet.
what he consumes for breakfast is more than the average daily food intake.
the amount of food he eats is astounding.
he recommends 8000-10000 calories a day.
truth be told, i understand that swimmers require immense amounts of energy.
but when i read the article, i was expecting him to be a diet god.
like, high proteins and all that crap.
however, phelps is simply amazing.
he consumes oil-laden sandwiches and steaks, choc pancakes and such divine sins.
i think i understand..
i swim at the speed of a sick whale, forever taking breaks,
for about two hours tops.
i can eat like a bird.
for the uninitiated, birds eat up to ten times their weight.
so, go michael phelps!

those individuals who are dense and don't believe me.
check out the interview with the legendary phelps.

much too shagged to revise in school today.
had lunch in school with yijia and calvin, watched diving events for an hour,
trudged home with calvin.
talked about a lot of things.
school, home, families, work and a lot of other things.
it's pretty therapeutic to talk things out.
like, he asked whether i felt that the class has changed.
perhaps, just perhaps, it's due to the encroaching examinations.
thanks calvin, enjoyed the chat muchly!

went to sentosa on saturday with matt and gel.
took a glass cable car up, which wasn't really whoa.
but it was unique, since you could see what's below you as well.
got pretty freaked at first cause the whole car was lopsided.
it didnt help that we were posing for pictures and the whole car was swaying.

had a picnic at the beach.
super interesting.
the food we made earlier (at uhh, an ungodly time of 3am) was utterly fantastic.
i made pizza bread and brought cookies.
gel made pizza sausages and nuggets.
matt did this potato thingy.
we were all surprised that our culinary skills were pretty much intact at 3am.
though the lack of sleep showed later.

tempers kinda flared sometimes.
i was zoning out on the trip to sentosa.
matt was falling asleep at every possible opportunity.
gel was stoning..
the weather was a total bitch, and that didnt help uplift our moods.

dinner was interesting!
went to this amazing japanese restaurant at suntec.
koba something..
wait!
kuishin-bo!
the food was good. (:
like, sushi, sashimi, some fried stuff..
HUGEEEE crab pincers with authentic soup.
i ate so much, i can't remember it now.
but good food comes with a price.
our bill amounted to 140.
i'm satisfied, so hell, i don't really give a hoot.

ahh, i'm going to make peanut butter cookies!
yesh..
then i shall chomp on 'em during the volleyball matches this weekend.
perfect combination of candy and eye candy.

thinking of you makes me feel blissfully cheerful, it's almost illegal.
it's been barely less than 24 hours since we've last talked.
sometimes i wish that the barrier of distance never existed.
i yearn to spend more time with you.
the twinkle in your eyes as you laugh,
the merry sound of your laughter.
i simply miss you.

and all you nosey parkers.
i'm not attached! xD
i'm not!
