Jess @ work

This is me at work, always with my safety helmet, safety vest, safety goggles, safety shoes and walkie talkie. With the hot sun, rain, dust, lorries, bulldozers and so on.. I'm getting darker days by days.. Sigh.. I love my job.. but when can the construction be done? Really hope this can end soon, life as a "bangla head" isn't fun at all. :(

1000 kcal

The other day my colleague brought a scale that is able to measure stuff like weight (obviously), fat content, moisture content, bone density, recommended kcal to eat a day etc.. the scale gave me an overall rate of 4 from 9 in terms of body fitness, namely label me as "UNDER EXERCISE". Gosh, with so much walking and physical work I endured lately in work, I'm still under exercise? Looks like I really HAVE to get down to some serious exercise. Swimming every weekend isn't enough? Going gym after work, twice a week? This can be done actually, depending if I could persistently follow the plan. The scale also stated that I should consume not more than 1039 kcal a day. This really freak me out, only a thousand kcal a day? As far as I'm concern, 2 pieces of Gardenia bread is already 200 kcal. Right, so I google-d this "what can I eat with 1000 kcal a day?" and found this recipe or diet plan: 1000 Calorie Diet Sample Menu Drinks throughout

Braised Pork Rice (卤肉饭)

Last night I was browsing through some blogs to check out for interesting recipes.. it has been quite long since I last cooked for Wilson. So I decided to make something he really likes, yeap.. PORK! And I came across a simple recipe to cook the Braised Pork Rice a.k.a Ru Lou Fan! I woke up at 8am to visit the wet market to buy cooking ingredient. The meat was quite costly, at RM8.50 for half a kg. Not sure if the market lady charged me more.. I also bought spices, green vege, eggs and rice wine before heading home. It took me 1 hour to prepare and cook this dish. Quite simple dish and really glad Wilson loves it. This is quite a balanced-diet dish, with meat, vege and egg. Just it maybe too fatty.. so it's not advisable to have these chunks of fat pork meat too often. I cooked, but personally didn't even try a piece of the pork. Never like the taste, but since Wilson loves it.. I'm dedicated to learn the dish anyhow. Glad it turned out alright. Maybe next time I shall try
