{ Mini Grocery Adventures }

Damn I’m feeling pooped. But oso sorta hungry… Let’s check out the NTUC nearby. See what’s up.

.

Ok I am hungry. But there’s oso food at home. Means I’ll only allow myself a small snack 🤏. Nothing too extreme, ye

Just something to keep me full til I get home.

.

Hmmm… bread aisle…. snacc aisle…. ayo…

Ok, u ever seen the film Grave of the Fireflies? Well they had something like dis in it. It began as a little treat for the protagonist’s little sister. Then when the sweets ran out, he’d mix it wif water for her to drink.

Sounds cute ye, but if you’ve seen it, u noe dat it wasn’t pleasant dat they were resorting to dat…

In fact the whole movie wasn’t exactly very pleasant, lol. It’s probably the most depressing animated film I’ve ever seen. I’ll say dat it’s a great watch if u wanna lose ur faith in humanity 👍

.

Anyways… no to dat depressing snack. Probably not very nutritious, anyway…

“I wan to eat dis. But u noe I almost 50kg oready 😬” said a moderately sized teenage girl.

“Then u shld cut down on ur eating” said her mother.

“I KNOW but 😡 I want to eat the 😰 EEEE so frustrating 😭. Why dieting so hard 😞” the girl said, animatedly.

Hehe, so annoying but cute ☺️. And I feel ur pain 😔.

Sometimes I wish I had a little sibling I cld tease and dote on. But alas, I am the youngest…

Maybe it’s for the best, cos I’m not exactly the best role model to be looking up to 😉

.

Damn wat is dis?

Dats pretty efficient, lol. It’s probably as pure protein as u can get. Well, maybe besides selling scoops of protein powder…

There seems to be a recent boom in popularity for protein. Lots of companies are churning out “high protein” variants of their regular drinks.

Which is interesting, becos I rmb reading abt them blue zones in the world b4.

And I rmb specifically the ppl living there saying dat they tend to have a lower protein, and more plant-based diet. Something abt it being better for the kidneys and overall health.

So I wonder if dis trend of emphasizing on protein will die out. When we realise dat we aren’t all bodybuilders dat need 2 times per kg of bodyweight protein to sustain ourselves…

Oso wonder wat the next nutrition & fitness fad will be… 🤔

.

Anyways, I ended up getting myself an onigiri from the cold food section. Dat sufficiently filled the void in my stomach 😋

I luv unplanned grocery trips. It’s both therapeutic, and low-key feels like a mini side quest…
