Colours

In my last post, I expressed shock that July had arrived so quickly. Now the weight of August just tumbled out of nowhere! August means the start of a new academic year. I am not really looking forward to the hectic schedules of projects, lessons and assignments. :/

Anyway, yesterday was the last day of my internship at Channel NewsAsia E-news. Felt really sad because I have grown the working styles and the lovely people there. Had a very enriching time there, but guess what, I will be back to work there part-time when semester begins. The schedule is really flexible and the pay is pretty good. Figured that I should get my own income and start a proper investment plan for the future.

Anyway purpose of this blog was to chronicle the food I eat, but I am a little disappointed by my lack of commitment to it. I don’t think I will be giving it up, but I’d most probably only make infrequent (photo) posts.

So here are some of my meals the past month or so… I can’t really remember. I wish I had the time to come up with more creative dishes in the kitchen, but lately I am tired out from work that I either eat out, or just eat whatever my maid cooks which is not bad at all.

One reason why I love eating fresh produce is the vibrant colours.. I swear just by looking at them, I am happier! 8-) I know I am such a dork.

1) sweet corn without any salt or butter because you will just spoil its natural taste! Jap cucumber usually eaten with miso!, tomato with sprinklings of balsamic vinegar.

2) Orange and yellow peppers, celery sticks!

3) A packed lunch to work. Chickpeas for protein, grilled eggplant, steamed broccoli, stir-fried french peas and cauliflower, tomato.

4) A fruity snack consisting of watermelon wedges, grapes and yogurt

5) Sauteed carrots and cherry tomatoes in balsamic vinegar (the cherry tomatoes would be literally bursting with flavor this way!), 1/2 grilled Portabello mushroom, omelette with rest of the mushroom and cheese

A close up of the omelette. Check out the cheese oozing out! This would really tide your hunger over for hours!

Ok I am going to start on my community service report, which is due in 2 weeks time. I vow not to procrastinate next sem… let’s see how that goes.
