Early morning chores done
We dined in at Geláre last night. We had seafood pasta and a Fruity Waffle with ice cream. We love Geláre waffles. We even went to look for a waffle machine after dinner but couldn’t find one where we were.
So the morning household chores are done.
- Vacuum the house
- Mop the house
- Dust-off the shelves and other dusty stuffs
- Clean & scrub the toilets and bathrooms including the shower screens and floors
- Clean & scrub the balcony
- Throw away unnecessary stuffs
All shiny now :) The living room looks dark in this picture because of the strong light in front. Mikey is scared of the vacuum cleaner and the mop hehe.
I am blogging from the tiny balcony right now and having a late breakfast. Speaking of the balcony, did you know that we were almost planning to make it an enclosed balcony with window panels around? Good thing we didn’t!
I didn”t want to eat until I was done with everything — I did grab a couple of grapes though. Last night I shifted the wireless router from the living room to our room because the signal is always low when we access the net from our room, making the connection unstable. Just now I had to shift the router back to the living room because I couldn’t get any signal from the balcony!
It’s egg whites and fruits on the plate and a strawberry tea in the glass. I don’t like egg yolks. So before I fry my eggs I remove the yolk, which I either freeze for later use or throw away. But it’s better to freeze :)
Well other than the household chores, I went for an 8 km run at the back of my place first thing in the morning. I ended with some resistance exercises back in the home gym.
I brought a small camera along to snap this! This is where I normally do my interval runs or runs that are less than 10 km. The whole stretch is only 2 km long but I always run back to back twice. There are distance markings on the ground, so it’s easy to figure out the distance without using any distance sensors.
The weather is lovely so far — cool and breezy. I am preparing lunch later. Probably a noodle soup.
A couple of things that I want to do this weekend:
- Plant catnip and corriander
- Bake a condensed milk cake!
- I also need to look for a skirt but I am lazy to shop for clothes …
- Watch the dvds that the husband rented (Marley and Me included!)

That was a healthy breakfast you had there :)
As for me, I just woke up like an hour ago. Took a shower, fed the dog and the birds… and that’s it! lol. No breakfast or house chores yet. I feel lazy!
Speaking of waffles… I buy a waffle machine a few years ago. I wanted the traditional kind of waffle makers. You know the one that makes rectangular shaped thick waffles? http://pastryitems.net/images/850%20waffle%20maker.jpg
I couldn’t find any so I ended up buying this one instead : http://www.cocktail.uk.com/images/shop/products/21843.jpg
Heart shaped waffle maker :P It’s just as good except this machine makes thinner waffles.

I wanted to laze on Sunday, so I did all the basic house chores today. We still need to dry the clothes later :P
I am looking for the rectangular or circle shaped thick waffle machine. I also like the thin waffles but the thick ones look nicer don’t they :)
Do you often make waffles?

I agree that the thick waffles look nicer. They look more traditional and I like that :D
I used to make waffles quite often when I just bought the waffle iron. But it’s been a while since the last time I used it! When I read your post, I wanted to make waffles again. Hahaha! Maybe tomorrow for brunch or next weekend :P
