Heaven after hell...

23 July 2006, Sunday

My legs and arms are still aching from the Lambak climb... not that kind of very sharp pain but the gnawing type which trips you up at exponential levels when you conquer the stairs and recedes only to lurking below the surface, waiting to act up when you do something as innocuous as walking faster...

But of course, such episodes cannot keep me down...by 12, I was at The Legends at Fort Canning savouring the delicacies there....the array of salad condiments was impressive, so was the main course... but the truly unbeatable clincher was the dazzling spread of desserts... mouthwatering indeed were the piping hot, melt-in-your-mouth bread-and-milk pudding, the chocolate fountain for dipping an assortment of fruits/marshmallow (same as the one at Shangri-La that I drooled over on tv), the Nonya kueh, the extremely sinful pudding and calories-laden ...... too many to mention....

I piled on much more than I lost at Lambak, but who cares? Just have to go EBC to lose the excess calories, hahahaha.... Anyway, I realise this is a nice place to do marking.... good food, melodious live music from the pianist tinkling on the ivories, free newspapers to divert my attention from the less-than-perfect exam scripts, comfy sofa, pristinely clean toilets that you can sleep in, not to mention the entire garden at the back where I had spent one Sunday birding.... ahhh, maybe I'll get to see that elusive barbet again...

My pain dissipated almost immediately....
