Of a meringue and other recreational activities

When I last posted about Pavlovas, have been told that the meringue at "Delicious" in Bangsar Village is better, so of course I had to go and try it out. Actually, been meaning to post this for a while already, so FINALLY!

It's a chocalatey kind of meringue, with a dollop of whipped cream, with generous strawberry slices piled mile high, topped with chocolate shavings....hmm.... :P

What's not to like? And the verdict? Well, I guess those who prefers the meringue at "Delicious" must like strawberries. Now, I am not a "strawberries" kind of guy, so found it so-so. The meringue was a bit on the hard side, and no, I personally do not think it is as good as the pavlovas I had previously, even if is chocalate!

And after a sinful kind of dessert, (main meal for some!), what's a guy got to do but to exercise? Actually, I joined the gym at the office, and membership subscription is by every quarter. Heavily subsidised by the company, mind you, so, works out to be about RM1.20 per day (or about US$0.35 per day at an exchange rate of US$1=RM3.45). Of course, that is if I go everyday to average down the cost.

In reality, the truth is not as comforting. The second quarter is almost ending, and I have only been twice!!! Cost per session is quite punitive then. Sigh. Planning to go again tomorrow to average down the cost some more! Looking at my calendar, have a meeting scheduled for 5:00pm, darn it, so hope won't be too tired out after that and find an excuse not to make a trip down to Level 7 for a little bit of "panting" and "sweating".

Each time I go, I have certain targets to meet, like run 3km within a time period (for those of you who snigger and say "What! So short a distance!", well have pity on lil' ol' me), or join the cramped aerobics class, with its ever thumping, heart stomping kind of music. Tried the aerobics class last week, and really felt how unfit I was. Really miss those days when I was super fit - or so I thought, and when my waist size was 15% less than what it is now. Alas, the "good ol' days, where forth art thou...".

Once upon a time, I attended one session of the yoga class (held every Thursdays), and my, it was tough. Me, being "slightly" on the rotund side, had difficulty bending and touching my toes, what more with all the other postures to try. Best one for me was just to lie flat on the floor with the eyes closed (almost napped!). :)

So what's my point? EAT!, but exercise... now where did I put my double sliced, cream filled pavlova! ;P
