and i am a pretty distracted viewer...
so typically while i watch a soccer game, i like to channel surf every few minutes to see what is on on other channels...
usually on a busy soccer night like Saturday or early Sunday...
i would be switching between soccer matches...
to try to catch all the actions at one go...
however...
late Sunday nights feature relatively few soccer matches...
i mean...
considering the matches that cable TV actually telecast...
so usually on Sunday night i would be channel surfing non-soccer channels...
and my favours are the discovery and history channels...
and sometimes the late Sunday movies shown...
one of the channel i always go to is the Discover Travel & Living channel...
for some reason...
most of the time when i watch the channel...
it features food programs other than travel or living program...
that suits me fine...
more than fine...
perfecto...
i love watching people cook or watching them eat funny and delicious food...
the problem is...
when u watch people eat...
slowly u develop cravings of ur own...
so tonight...
when i can no longer suppress the cravings...
i decided to take a short break to venture out for a snack...
forget what people say about how Singapore has a vibrant night life...
Sunday night in a typical neighborhood...
the city is as asleep as it can be...
so after walking around and not finding anything particular to my liking...
i resign to visit a 7-11 for some quick bites...
i know people are usually critical about the food offered at 7-11...
being overpriced and...
let's face it...
instant food are usually never as good...
especially those offered at 7-11...
but they do have some good sandwiches...
though still pretty much overpriced...
but i didn't take up any sandwiches tonight...
i have been watching them introduce giant pan pizza in Chicago...
i was thinking of something more cheesy and tomato-y...
something like...
a pizza...
so i picked up those microwave pizza u can find at the fridge...
funny thing that the other favours are crab and cheese and tuna and cheese...
not even chicken?...
hm...
i went with crab and cheese...
because for some reason eating "crab" late at night sounds appealing enough...
i also picked up a can of Red Bull...
sugar-free...
a friend once brought up an interesting point...
why drink sugar-free red bull when being sugar-free it cannot offer u as much energy as the original?...
hm...
until the person at the cashier informed me that instead of getting one for $2.80...
i can get 2 for $3.95...
this is really like a marketing ploy from 7-11...
they always feature drinks that is superbly over-priced...
but much less if u buy 2 at one go...
back to the pizza...
honestly...
as much as i should have expected it...
it tasted bad...
much like fixing two piece of bread and spreading some cheese and spaghetti sauce in between...
i bet i could have make one that taste the same given the ingredients...
but what am i complaining when there are so few options around...
lesson learnt...
don't watch food programs at night...
or...
don't go to 7-11 in hope of getting something remotely resembling what u craved...
