finally.weekend

have you ever had a week where you just feel that you cannot cope with it anymore? this week is particular strange for me, i know i need to recuperate my energy and body condition but i never know that work can have such a toil on me. i was almost breakdown by the end of late friday where i had back to back call from noon till 7pm friday evening.  even then things are not all done, more work for weekend.

i was glad that i made a point not to do anything on saturday, just indulge myself in 13 hours sleep from 10pm friday night to 11am saturday morning. this kind of replenish my energy level.  i needed those sleep when there is no urgency to wake up at certain time to take a con-call or to-dos or any work mundanes.  i took my time, went to the next big city with public transport, the short walk to the station was refreshing, my face were cold and frozen but my mind and spirit finally awoke from a slumber.

i had some window shopping followed by a dinner with some gals, it was a lovely evening at a local japanese restaurant. although not entirely authentic but the quality of the food served were great!

 edamame as starter, i was hungry by then so i attacked with no mercy...

assorted sashimi for a lady who loves to eat and who had been abstaining from raw fish after nine month. in the meantime, when she's thrilled with the melting moment of sashimi in her mouth,  the baby in her is about to due any time. i admire her passion in food and eating and occasionally i caught the compulsive eating bug from her ^^

 finally our portions arrived...

the high light of the night - spider but in reality it's giant maki roll of deep fried soft shell crab, it's so yummy  that we had double portion.

the unagi and tako sushi are of generous portion too! there were another california roll which the photo didn't turn out rightly so you can imagine how much the four of us had eaten by now....

the desserts were great too, the gals had their portion of new york cheese cake with white sesame ice cream  and mango mousse cake with matcha ice cream....

while i had my tempura ice cream with assorted fruits.  this is when my honey arrived and i  left the gals and went on to my next appointment.  

last saturday i was in a miserable stage of suffering and not being able to eat anything at all, this saturday, i actually have two rounds of feast in a day. what i thought was lost was made up completely not only with the nice get together and catch up over the delicious food, but also a great way to end a rather hectic and roller coaster week.

freedom is not to let your yesterday affect your today. another simple truth i learned today.

i hope you had a nice saturday too!
