Since I came back from the UK, plenty of my friends were merciless in pointing out how fat I had become.
Fast forward 4 months later to now, I had lost much of my weight and gained back my toned body thanks to my religious visits to Fitness First which greets me with this sign every time I go there.But I believe in rewarding good behaviour.
Some people who long to keep slim and practice refrain from certain indulgences still do indulge in ice-cream once in a while.
So I decided to do the same.
Yesterday, I walked into Haagen Dazs in Pulau Tikus.
I walked straight to the counter where I took my time to decide what kind of ice-cream I was going to have.
A little less than 5 minutes later, I decided that I was going to have the Green Tea.
The man behind the counter very politely greeted me and offered his help
"Can I help you sir?"
I gave him a quick look and said
"I have decided to go for the green tea. Could I please have the Green Tea for take-away?".
He smiled and said
"Yes sir... what size would you want? Pint size?"
I looked at him with a bit of disbelief and said
"No... much bigger..."
While glancing at the Haagen Dazs logo high up on the wall that was smiling down at me.He pointed at an empty container which represented the quad size and said
"You want Quad Size?"
I said
"No... much bigger".
Then he took out the largest container they had and said
"This is the largest we have Sir..."
Unsatisfied, I pointed at the ice-cream in the fridge and said
"That is NOT the largest size you have.
You see all those buckets that you scoop my ice-cream out of? Why don't you just sell me the whole bucket..."
Showing a little bit of confusion he said
"The whole CAN?!?! ... Sorry Sir, I don't think we can sell you that..."
I insisted and he checked with his manager who agreed.
They priced the whole bucket of Green Tea ice-cream at RM505... a small price to pay for... My Precious.
I walked out of Haagen Daz a happy man.... with My Precious...Loaded it into my car and went home.
At home, I spent the next one hour admiring My Precious.
The label on its top reminded me that I was about to eat 9.46 litres
(probably enough ice-cream to give diabetes to the entire population of a small country).
But I ripped off the top cover in denial and stared at the beautiful sea of green tea...
Ahh there it was... enough ice-cream to last me the weekend.
I quickly changed into my comfortable very very old t-shirt and shorts that I wear to sleep and dragged My Precious with me into the living room.
Armed with a tablespoon, I turned on the TV and got started.To Julia (My New PA): Please hold all my calls.
Boss Stewie is NOT to be disturbed this weekend.
Obesity... here I come....

I can't believe you actually bought the whole tub!!! You will be one sick (green) man come Monday...
WTF?!!! -_-"" RM505 i can make kenduri to feed the whole kampung ledi ....
dd
your UBS buy is subsidising your Precious
your analogy of 'My Precious' is at fault.you are suppose to slip it out of the fridge intermittently to lust,greed,envy,wrath,sloth and pride over it,not GLUTTONY!
i like that wicked smile when u are embracing MP.ever thought of auditioning for the role of Golum in 'The Hobbit'?
Why green tea?Hoping the nutritional value will nullify the adverse effect of the whole barrel?
What, no Lecka Lecka?
And of all the flavors... Green Tea, honestly 8-)
ricadoe: ahh don't worry.. haagen dazs is not as good as they say it is :P
angelus: ahh a sick (green) man.. that's a good thing isn't it
wingz: that's small money to u right? :P
daredevil: ahahaha stewie as GOLUM...
jackson: i tried getting toffee creme but they didn't have stock of the whole bucket
Ahh the comments are back on... sorry the comments of the blog were down for the past 24 hours guys...
Don't worry.. i read all ur comments on the tagboard about My Precious :P

Penang TIMES: A man in 20s bought a whole tub of Green tea flavoured Haagen Dazz as a reward after spending enormous amount of time training at a gym. This man has been later identified as blogger, Timothytiah. He also is the man behind the blog timothytiah.blogspot.com. There have quite a number of incredible feat done by this young man. One of them being his price-slashing skills which can even rival the aunties in market,another one being posting his friend's butt crack on his blog and etc.What other incredible feat can this man perform? We'll just have to wait and see. Stay to this channel.
MaN|acZ reported live

slinky: hahahaha but u sin in other ways right? like chocolate
june: ahahahahaa well.. actually i think it might last longer than that.. for my own good.. it had better last longer than that

earl: ahahahaha can earl.. be my guest.. we share share
maniacz: i thought u were going to say something like
Penang Times: Idiotic 22-year old man kills himself with 9 litres of ice-cream over one weekend. Doctors are calling it a rare case of "Instant-Diabetes".
as much as im hoping the same thing could happen to me, i still think its crazy. but coming from stewie's mind of uncharted territory, it could possibly be real. arrrghhh... i dont know.. the dilemma~!!!
OMG! i was THIS close to calling you crazy :S but then again a lot of people would probably already think that!
do update us if you really finish the whole tub over the weekend LOL
the manager must have been very happy to make a good profit from you LOL
1 whole bucket!! speechless...

OMG so expensive! Not logical for me to get a tub that big thanks to freezer constraints. Green tea is the bestest! When I first saw it, I was like "omg he's not really going to buy the big. .... oh wow he did." Terror. New respect. Now show us the aftermath of the weekend~!

I'M NOT FAT... I'M JUST BIG-BONED... AAHAHA
Actually it's stupid of the guy working there to make you go through all that trouble just to obtain the tub of ice-cream. What if you wanted it for a party? Who knows right? Other people would have just gotten pissed off and walked away.
gwen: ahahah well in his defence.. it said "Trainee" on his nametag :P
Boss, why din ask trainee to check ur blog? :P
after eating so much, ur stomach no problem ar? or... when u sh*t, it comes
pretty smooth izzit?
lol
aiyo...
u could have use those money to come down to KL and CHIA me eat crab la...
si rich kid!
Movenpick is better than Haagan Daaz, but you can't buy the huge tubs here unless you know the Swiss Ambassador (they have huge ass tubs imported here regularly for their own use).
For the record, you are supposed to eat HD when it is partially melted, not straight out of the fridge. Some impatient people microwave to soften it, but I prefer to wait.
try pouring some milk over the top, about 2 inches of milk, and then scoop up the ice cream, it freezes the milk into little crystals and is a blast to eat
maniacz: ARGH!! PLS TELL ME WE ARE NOT TALKING BOUT MY SHIT HERE...
cely: ehh... that would've cost even more cely
shiny: it doesn't take long in our climate for it to soften up does it?
gwen: 2 inches of milk on that 9 litre tub of ice cream... that's gonna be a whole lot of milk gwen
yor.. stop these la.. i hate u all...
i wan the ICE CREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
gwen somemore teach him to pour some milk.. i keep on imagine it nowwwwww
