This is the day. I am temporary out of the corp world
and I feel ...... good. No more cubicles, no more
cappucino vanilla at 2.30pm, no more work and
best of all, no more waking up at 7.30am. Hmm, I
take back the last last 7.30am thing. Since I am at
flexi hours, I usually get to my office around 9am
and that means I usually FINALLY wake up at
8am. The alarm from my cellphone rings at 7am
and me......give "no hue"(don't care in hockkien).

Have a good good sleep since I don't have to worry
about TAPE-OUT(a jargon in IC design) anymore.
So.....what's next? A healthy good old break-fast of
course. I had toasted english muffin with Smart
Balance(0 trans-fat OK) butter and, a cup of
Shamrock chocolate milk. I felt good and healthy
u know.

Next on the list, the lady from REMAX property
management agency came. She checked my house
inside out. Well, I may let this agent take care of
my house as my rental property since I will be
moving to beautiful sunny San Diego California.
YAHOO!! HOORAY!!

She said things are looking very well to rent out
at a reasonable fee and rental. I am thinking about
it. Later, I met up with a friend, V and had Indian
buffet lunch and of course, it was awesome. Traffic
is bad from my house to this restaurant. I think it
took me 45mins to get to the Old Pueblo(Tucson).
Those people.....they should once and for all, drive
like me. It seems like they need to learn how to
drive like a pro, like the people from
Republic of Penang.

After lunch, I went to this place called Frost where
they serve gelato. Gelato is a kind of ice-cream,
italian style ice-cream and of course, it is so GOOD.


Here is some explaination from
www.frostgelato.com

What is Gelato?
Translated from Italian, (jeh-lot-o) means literally
frozen. Although gelato is a frozen dessert, the
word frozen does not do justice to explain the
immense flavor and texture.

Gelato is a frozen creamy, ice cream style product,
but this is where the comparison stops. Unlike
American Ice Cream that contains 10-20% butterfat,
gelato contains anywhere from 3-8% butterfat. The
United States Department of Agriculture has
designated that any product under 10% cannot legally
be called ice cream. Seeing as gelato does and will not
achieve these percentages, it will never be able to take
the ice cream name. Gelato is able to keep the low
percentages of butterfat because in our production
we use only 3% milk instead of creams, raw eggs and
butter.

Another feature of gelato that separates itself from
American ice cream is the amount of air that is
incorporated into the product. Most American style
ice creams incorporate anywhere from 75-100 % of air.
Gelato, however, incorporates at the most 20%. As a
result, unlike ice cream, gelato is not whipped with air,
therefore the flavors are intensified. The reason being
is that the butterfat acts as a dam; it actually dilutes
or blocks the flavors.

What does all of this information mean? Simply, gelato
is the most intense, silky, dense, cool, and flavorful
"ice cream style" product that will hit your lips. The
flavor is simply indescribable. As a result of its low
butterfat, it is much healthier than American ice cream.

Now you know another reason why Americans are
struggling with obesity. Anyway, I head home and
take....... mi siesta de la tarde(my nap in the
afternoon in spanish). A B-E-A-U-tiful day.

Later in the evening, F came over for dinner. I made
some curry chicken, stir fry Bok Choy and watercress
soup. It was an awesome dinner of course. As I
mentioned earlier, a good dinner with your loved ones,
what else do u need, huh? It's Valentine's Day u know!!

PTL for a purr-fect day.
