Life is just a bowl of cherries.

Loves. ;D

Life is just a bowl of cherries.

Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious.

You work, you save, you worry so,

But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go.

So keep repeating it's the berries,

The strongest oak must fall,

The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned

So how can you lose what you've never owned?

Life is just a bowl of cherries,

So live and laugh at it all.

Life is just a bowl of cherries.

Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious.

At eight each morning I have got a date,

To take my plunge 'round the Empire State.

You'll admit it's not the berries,

In a building that's so tall;

There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss;

Get thousands a week just for crooning like this:

Life is just a bowl of... aw, nuts!

So live and laugh at it all!

Maltose Love!

I must admit, I hated cooking because I dislike the idea of handling meat.

When I was a kid, I thought to myself, maybe I'll be a vegetarian, then I can avoid handling meat! :D

Then as time goes by, as I was called fourth to answer my wanderlust and one time of surviving through 3 months jail by eating porridge for lunch and dinner; when all those were over, it was like a big slap on my face – I was a lucky bitch. Home cook food is the amazing!

Savoury pancakes day.

So why this year?

Firstly, my mom; the first thing that I look forward to when I was out from that hell hole was eat as much as she can cook. I started to have dinner every night since 2006. Yes, this is another confession - I stopped taking dinner since I was 14 and will only dine if I must [i.e. dinner event]. What? What makes you think I stayed healthy and fit all these while? geez…

So yeah, she is amazing. But I hardly learn from her in the past because Chinese food is so troublesome to cook. The amounts of ingredients, preparation time, heat… the heat!!! Especially the heat while cooking! It's quite frustrating for me.

Second, work and love. Work makes me hungry, so I eat more and starting to cook a little bit because outside food is so boring. Love makes me want to cook as well because he also works and never eats accordingly. because I think people who don't eat well are quite unlucky and thus, contribute to my generous act of offering meals to others.

Some stir-fried fish, I can't remember the name ;p

Third, his mom; her cooking was what I look forward to everyday in the cold winter days. All I can say is both his mom and my mom are super great cooks who inspire me to learn how to cook.

Fourth, wanderlust and Anthony Bourdain. I love that show and through it, I learn that it's perfectly normal to handle meat. I was a science student and I realize, hey, isn't that the same as the time when I dissected the mouse? It was fun! Except that I don't eat mouse.

Food and drinks makes life so much more bearable and looking forward to! And not to forget to mention, Char Siew [bbq pork] is the best! I don't think I'll end up as a vegetarian any time.

2010.

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.

To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

"Follow the light of the spirit in all things and depend upon God in all things, choose the living Christ as the pattern in all things and depend upon God in all things Do not seek the truth; seek the spirit of truth The spirit leads into all truth. To know the truth is to know the way.To be guided by the spirit into all truth is to walk in the light of the spirit all the way and the way of light leads into the kingdom of eternal life. Follow the words of the Christ until the spirit is found; then follow the spirit into the greater life of the Christ. Keep the eye single upon that light that is revealed through the spiritual vision of the soul. Where that light is shining there is the gate; beyond is the way that leads unto life, and all who are in the spirit shall find it even now"

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year~*

It has been quite a year. This year have been good to me. Nothing more or less that I could say and/or add about this year. So many things have happen, good changes and for the betterment in time to come. For all these, I am truly grateful. Blessed in so many ways and blessings are still continuously coming the way~

Somehow, I felt like I've changed. Keeping to be the better of me, getting more into the essence, it's truly amazing.
It have nothing to do with religion, I am much more a spiritual person than I was before. In tune with the universe, my being are being uplifted every moment of my life. Call it God, call it Law of Attraction, call it anything you want, your being is GREATER than you; and it's side by side with you no matter what... even when you stop believing, faith is just beside you. It's a matter of acceptance. ;]

Anyhow, am being busy busy busy!!! No time to explain much or show/take any pictures! For real!
So, some of the pictures I took from France last year~ ;p
