People will forget what you said,

People will forget what you did.

But people will never forget how you made them feel

RPM Class wednesday evening in IOI FitnessFirst


Thought of trying different FF gym, went to RPM class Wednesday evening at IOI. 

I like the timing, I am already in Puchong after the class. No fighting traffice from MBF to home. and best part, there is a Wendy's right in front of the gym, they do have the garden salad to take out. Expensive, but healthy. Or go to TGIF, in the same mall. 

The class was conducted by Teng. Not too many people in the class. I like the bike, i think is a new spinner.

May change my schedule

Perfect vacation


Many of my current passion in life are related to cycling and cooking, especially Italian food, and traveling in new places is always things I look forward to. I already thinking of traveling to Tuscany and pick up some cooking lesson along the way.

Now, I found one that can fulfill my desire in one go.

Cycling and cooking tour in Tuscany. Perfect!!!!

It will cost Euro2300 for a 7 days 6 nights of travelling, drinking, eating, cycling and cooking. This is perfect, and next year schedule falls on my birthday. I am definitely going for it.

Who wants to join me?

Watching what you eat


As I was saying, I need to watch what I eat. Here will be a good guide for that.


Project BiggestLoser


Not doing very well. It is so hard to lose 900g in one week. But still on track. At least I am not gaining.

Need to keep an eye on the food intake.

Quick dinner last night - Cooking without recipe


Back home with Megan. Felt hungry.

Search the pantry and the fridge and gather some ingredient and made a cold tuna pasta salad.

Below is the recipe, enough for 2 medium size bowl, for 2 adults as light dinner. 

Ingredient
110 grams Farfalle (bow tie pasta)
3 eggs (hard boiled)
1 can tuna (in olive oil, drained)
2 tea spoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Steps
1. put eggs in pot with water covering the eggs. Turn on the heat, once water boiled, turn off heat and put a lid on for 10-12 minutes. Take the eggs out, put them under running tap water to stop the cooking process and cool down the egg. Peel and put aside
2. Boil a pot of salted water for the pasta and cook pasta according to the package, take out from the water and put under running water to stop the cooking process and cool down the paste.
3. Mix mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl and put aside
4. Assembly time, make sure all ingredient are cold. 
5. In a large salad bowl, mix all the ingredient, the pasta, tuna, eggs (chopped into small pieces) and the sauce. 
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Separate into two bowl
8. Sit on couch with daughter and enjoy, while watching Ben10.

Megan seems to like it, will make more often.

What can be different
1. Add in frozen peas (or frozen mixed vegetables) - no green in the salad, all just yellow
2. Use different kind of pasta (shell)
3. Try different kind of mustard
4. more pasta, maybe 140g

Sorry, no picture.
