What's a good lunch?

What would one consider a good lunch? The food? The company? The place? Well, I feel that I have had a good lunch today, I would say the best I have had so far for the year. I am currently attending a 4-day course, away from school. The wonderful part of it is that the training venue is kinda near Great World City, my favourite haunt : ) I had the privilege of having a one and a half hour lunch today so decided to pamper myself a little, went to Cedele for lunch, thought of getting some healthy food :P Went alone, didn’t feel like socialising and engaging myself in small talks (frankly speaking, it could be such a chore to me at times), just feel like spending quiet moments all by myself. Ordered a salad…sea bass & shrimps tango, with orange wholegrain mustard (light and refreshing!). The portion was just right, vegetables were fresh and crunchy, fish and shrimps were piping hot and well done. Ha, a no carbo meal! Well, maybe except for the one and a half slices of multigrain bread that I ate :P The meal was followed by a cup of Southern herbal mint tea, my goodness, I thought it was good! Refreshing and minty from the mouth, right down to the stomach, left a warm feeling in my stomach after that. A fabulous tea to aid in digestion I would say. I think I need to cut down on my intake of milk tea, my gastric problem seems to be acting up recently again :( Anyway, there weren’t many people in the cafĂ©, quiet and peaceful, just wish they could play some music. But it’s okie, I thought I was enjoying every minute of my weekday lunch, slowly and relaxingly. Ha, so much so that I wish I didn’t have to go back and attend the course.

Have been playing Dido’s “Safe Trip Home” these two days while driving…you know, listening to her songs sometimes makes me feel like taking a walk along the beach, barefooted and feel the warm and soft white sand beneath my feet…at times, soaking my feet in the cool turquoise seawater and feeling the warmth of the sun lay itself gently on my body. My heart really yearns for moments like these…
