surya & guy chefs

Surya (sun) is the Soul, both of the moving and unmoving beings.

I'm getting more and more hooked on yoga! Tried this other class by Adeline, who's one of Singapore's best yoga teachers around. She specialises in more intensive forms of yoga like Vinyasa & Ashtanga..I went for her Asthanga class, which was a real work-out! The thing about yoga is, though you're not running & jumping about, somehow you work out a sweat just by controlling your muscles, stretching and concentrating on your breathing. I may be imagining things but i left the class feeling detoxified & purer!Hahaha..maybe it's all in the mind, but who cares!! ;)

Gathering at Nic's

Last night had a good dinner at Nic's, where he had a gathering mainly for his cg members. We had pasta with spicy tomato, beef & mushroom sauce, stuffed colourful peppers with rice, minced beef & cheese and assorted sushi. Our main chefs? Nicholas (who prepared the first 2 dishes) & Ramesh (who prepared the sushi)!

So there was this discussion over dinner about how guys seem to be doing more of the cooking these days. And coni, shang yee & i agreed we should STRONGLY encourage this trend. (Hehe Zhenbang revealed he cooked for coni several times in paris..and his speciality is Fried Fish. how sweet.)

Anyz, the guys were taunting us girls about our lack of cooking skills and asking us what could we do. Coni said 'We can eat!' And the guys duly reminded us that eating was an ADL (actvitiy of daily living). One guy said: cooking is an IADL (indepedent activity of daily living) so probably 50% of medicine girls are IADL-dependent. Haha. Very funny.

Well, we definitely aren't bra burning feminists, but the guys seem to enjoy cooking! So why stop them? Hehe. Plus somehow i realise guys are alot more methodical & practical so they're less likely to screw up a recipe. Nic has super good sense of timing, like 'We have to throw in the diced veggies when the beef is 90% cooked'. My gosh, how do i tell if it's 90% cooked?

Whatever. I think a guy looks sexy in the kitchen anyway! Hehe..so girls, let's keep praising the guys' cooking and hopefully they'll keep it up!!!!=)
