La vie est belle

I am supposed to hop on a coach to Malacca (in Malaysia) later this afternoon but I am not going anymore. Our friend couldn’t get any hotel accomodation at  Equatorial Hotel for today.  I’ve called other hotels (Holiday Inn, Renaissance Melaka, Everly Resort and Bayview Melaka) but they are all fully booked too! :(  Bleahhhhhh …. I know, we should have booked earlier!

I’m not too disappointed because I was going there for a night only and besides, I’ve been to Malacca before. It’s only about a 3 hr journey from Singapore, so we can always go there some other time.

Speaking of trips, well guess who was recently in Singapore? Lash! I managed to meet him yesterday for some iced vanilla coffee latte. He’s flying back to Mauritius today. “Have a safe trip back!”.

This morning

I went for my Saturday 2-hr run in the early AM with my friend. We ran at a comfortable able-to-talk-while-running pace.

After that I dropped by The Coffee Bean to get a Muffin. I decided to try the Champedak Muffin for the first time. Well… it’s not that nice. I can barely taste the chempedak. The muffin is definitely very buttery but light.

And sipping some Ginseng Tea that my brother bought during his Shanghai trip. This tea is nice. It doesn’t taste like those Ginseng drinks. There’s a nice after-taste on my tongue. I like!

By the way, Champedak is a fruit which is easily mistaken for jackfruits.  It tastes a little similar to jackfruits and it’s supposed to be sweeter, with more fibrous flesh than jackfruits. Here’s a picture.
