Pan-Grilled Trout Marinated in Lemon and White Wine Herb Butter served with peppered potatoes and steamed broccoli and carrots
That was dinner today... bought some rainbow trout from Tesco yesterday cuz it was reduced... and then marinated it according to the recipe that I got online... and pangrilled it...

I must say that the result of it looked really nice, yeah?? I was quite proud of the result... Taste wise, It's really nice too!!! Only problem i had was that the fish tasted a little fishy... I think I didn't put enough salt to get rid of the fishy taste, either that, or the fish is not very fresh!! hahaha.... :)

Half Way Through...
Enjoying the food...
All gone (except the potato skins which I din feel like eating today)!!

Shopping In Reading

Today was all about indulgence... woke up at 11am... decided that I should go to Reading to shop, if not I would keep on thinking about going there to shop over the next week, so might as well get it out of my mind straight away... so took the 1232 train to Reading... and then started off shopping with H&M, walked around, looked at accessories, then to Next, tried on boots, looked at wallet... then to Gap, then to Primark. Primark is quite possibly the cheapest high street department store around... Fair enough, the quality may not be as good, but there are some rather decent things you can find there... so got some stuff, pair of trousers for Matthew, tights and accessories for myself...

and then after this, it was to the Oracle Shopping Centre and started off with a Humous Salad Slim Pret Sandwich from Pret A Manger, the best sandwich chain around (The sandwich is called Slim Pret because you get one sandwich triangle instead of 2, hence "slim"). Then went to Claires, Whittards, Waterstones, La Senza, Schuh, Faith, Dolcis, TopShop, H&M (again), then Gap (again), then Zara, then Mango. One reason why I like coming to Reading is because it has both Mango and Zara, and it is the closer to Guildford than London... So anyway, i went to Zara, tried on 3 skirts and 1 trousers, and fell in love with a denim skirt!!! GBP25!!! Out of my budget... oh well, wait for Christmas sale then... and so, I walked around, and tried on killer pointy shoes, tried on boots, tried on clothes... it was fun.... :) too bad i can't get the denim skirt... it will put me out of my budget for this week...

Then went to Mango, did pretty much the same thing as I did in Zara, except this time, I was actually looking for something specific in Mango which i saw in Singapore but did not get... and I found it! Took 3 different colours, jeans, and a dressy top and went to try them on... Could not decide between the orange and the brown... so I walked around somemore, in the end decided to get the orange... The service at the counter was so good!!!! She greeted me, wrapped my top up in nice black tissue paper, and put it in a white Mango paper bag, then put in a small catalogue for me, and while waiting for the transaction to be approved, she asked if I wanted the big catalogue too which I was flipping through... and then she put it into the bag for me as well... and then she took the receipt, folded it and put it into a Mango Receipt Envelope! Did u know there was a Mango Receipt Envelope? I certainly didn't! Hahaha. I sound totally mad now I know, then she gave me the bag and thanked me... with smiles!!!! All this service even though I spent less than GBP10 in the store!! Mango in Singapore should learn from this people, man!! The people in Mango Singapore are so "dao" looking!! Heheh, so I left satisfied.... :)

What I got from Mango for spending GBP 6 (Paper bag not shown)

Total Damage Done to my Wallet today: GBP16.50 for 4 items, half a sandwich, and a cappuccino.

The Feeling from Retail Therapy: Priceless! :)
