Edited: Just did a stock check and realised I have a massive stash of bars, oh my goodness! Although the expiry is still a good 6-9 months away, I should let go of some, should there be any interested parties. And I'm guilty to say that I have yet another massive batch on its way. Any takers? LOL!

- Larabar Pecan Pie
- Clif Luna White Chocolate Macadamia
- Clif Luna Toasted Nuts 'n Cranberry
Another order collected today. =) Luna White Chocolate Macadamia was so good that I just had to get another box. As for Luna Toasted Nuts 'n Cranberry, it was the very first flavour of Luna I tasted and I loved it a lot, so I decided to get a box of it once again.

And Pecan Pie Larabar has always been a flavour I wanted to try. Now, my curiosity can be satisfied. =)

- Clif Luna White Chocolate Macadamia
- Clif Luna Peanut Butter Cookie
- Clif Luna Chocolate Nut Brownie
- Clif Luna Nutz Over Chocolate
- Larabar Cashew Cookie

After waiting for nearly 2 months, my bars have finally arrived! =) What a good way to cheer myself up after a painful operation. Heh!

And so, I have been scheduled for surgery on 3rd September but have to be admitted into the hospital on the 2nd. 2 hours of surgery, and a chest tube stuck into the side of my body post-surgery is not appealing at all. The tube which is attached to a water canister will be following everywhere I go for almost the entire hospital stay. Obviously, I'm totally dreading it, but for the sake of being able to travel by air and do vigorous activities, I will press on.

Anyway, whenever I'm at TTSH, I can never not go into the pharmacy. So today, in I went and came out with 3 boxes of various food bars from Go Natural and Kashi. Walked around with my parents (who went to see the specialist with me), and I bought a box of Uncle Sam cereal bars from United Square. =X And because I love Larabar's Cocoa Mõlé so much, I bought another 2 yesterday.

Ah yes, I hereby present to you my bars galore!


Talking about bars, I had Larabar's Cashew Cookie this morning and it was soooo darn good! I think this is my favourite flavour of all!



I will be back for more! And if I can get this flavour by the box from my contact, all the better! YUMS!


Thank you Dad and Mom, for being the best parents I can ever ask for. Thank you both for being so supportive and always running around with me for my appointments with the specialist. Pneumothorax aside, I also thank you both for giving me space and time to work that problem out at my own comfortable pace. Thank you two for loving me. =)

Looking at Lara Cocoa Mõlé, my heart raced with excitement, but I stopped myself from ripping the package open and posed it for my orange camera. When I was satisfied with the pictures taken, I gingerly made an opening and revealed the much anticipated bar.


Again, I had to stop myself from sinking my teeth into it before taking a picture of it's smooth and shiny body. And then it began...


You can never imagine how ecstatic I was when I bit into the bar and crunched on the huge nuts. The 2 holes at each side of the bar were where the nuts sat. Nuts combined with cocoa, natural sweetness from the dates, and a hint of spice from the chilli, I was in paradise.

Because Mom said she wanted to try this flavour, I gave her some to try but her reaction was hilarious. Obviously Mama and Lara could not get along at all.

The first Lara I tried was cherry pie and I totally hated her, but as I tried the other flavours, I gradually started to befriend her and even made her one of my closest friend. Sadly, my Mama can't seem to accept Lara like me. Honestly, I believe that eating such bars require an acquired taste, and I'm glad that Lara works well for me. =)

Debs and I have been meeting up quite a fair bit since she returned from Sydney, but I can never get sick of our meetups because each time brings me much joy for she's always cranky and full of nonsense.

Lunch was at Oomphatico@Tanglin Mall and we were totally sold my the interior, design, atmosphere and feel of the place. The food was good too, so I'll definitely return there some day, although getting there requires quite a bit of walking.


The prawns in my Prawn Cocktail were big, juicy, chilled and pretty fresh, and Deb's Farmers Club was savoury and absolutely divine for settling a craving for some salt.

After a happy filling lunch, we walked back to ION and spent practically the rest of the afternoon in ION. With too many interesting shops, too big a crowd, and too much to talk about, we didn't manage to go into majority of the stores.

Skipping most retail outlets, we did not and could not give ThreeSixty Market Place a miss. Call us Aunty, we really do not care. LOL!


The many different coloured peppers brightened up this section of the supermarket, and it sure did a good job in making my day. I love love love colours. And at one of the food stores in the basement, that roast pig was pitfully displayed in full view for everyone to see.


At the rate I'm buying all these different bars, I'm seriously going to eat myself poor! The only consolation is that I'm using my own hard earned money to buy them, so I do not feel indebted to anyone.

Now, I cannot wait to try Cocoa Mõlé. I love chocolate, and I adore chilli, but when the 2 are combined together, I'm not sure if I'll love it. However, I believe in the saying of, "You wouldn't know if you never try" so I'm going to be crazy May Anne and give it a shot when I feel wacky enough. =)

And because I'm a sucker for cake donuts, I could not stop myself from walking into Dunkin Donuts and coming out with 2 pieces.


Oh for the love of cake donuts over the classic ones. Ah yes, I indulge too much, but at least I know it makes my parents happy. I'm already trying doing my best. =)

L - R: Larabar Banana Bread, Clif Luna Toasted Nuts 'n Cranberry, Larabar Apple Pie
After an agonizing 1.5 months wait, my Larabars and Luna bars have arrived! The Luna bars are a replacement of my initial order of the Pecan Pie Larabars which had some expiry problems. I can now satisfy my curiosity of how a Luna bar taste like! =D

A few hours prior to Dada's passing and my hospitalisation, I was out roaming Mustafa and these were the goodies (excluding Fitnesse cereal & Delectables) I bagged home:


My granola/muesli/energy bars are growing and growing and growing in numbers, and this is what I have as of today:


I can open a minimart! =)

This is the very first and way in advance birthday present to me from my elder brother and sister-in-law. ♥ The Swatch watch is so pretty, with my favourite colour on it! My SIL has great taste and really knows what I like. =) And Incanto Charms is finally off my wishlist. Thank you korkor and da sao!

Food have always been seasonal for me, and now it's that time for bars and more bars again. It has been months since I last stock up on so many bars at one go, but I'm a seasonal eater and I need changes. =)

More buys from the last few days, with some Larabars already long gone in my stomach:


And together with the last round of stock, I have a massive number of bars to keep me going for another few months or so. But I'm pretty sure that there will be more varieties of energy bars to be added to this stash in time to come.


Bars Galore!
