Christmas gift #3

What a lovely gift!

This is flown all the way from Japan. It's a gift from the lovely couple Yoshi and Rika.

What comes with this gift is also their love and friendship. I'm really glad that we are in their mind.

Thanks so much Yoshi and Rika!

God bless!

Christmas gift #2

My 2nd Christmas gift for 2012.

Just when my previous one's strap about to snap. This one was supposedly a limited edition and has a strength of 50X. It is claimed to relief aches up to the shoulders.

Afternoon Tea

East meet west.

How so?

I'm having my ginger tea which I bought from Taiwan with the Turkish Fig scones I made this morning.

When one eats scones, one probably would go with clotted cream and jam, and probably a cup of afternoon tea.

Sometimes, trying something out of the norm brings unexpected discoveries.

I like the ginger tea, oriental style. Not too sweet and goes well with the scones.

Take a break, have a cup of tea!

Turkish Fig Scones

Just feel like making scones today.

And since I have some Turkish Figs in my fridge, I cut them into tiny slices and added them into my scones.

The Turkish Figs didn't come out strong in taste. The texture of the scones this time round was fluffy and light. I think I also added more butter and I could taste a stronger buttery taste.

This afternoon, I'll have scones and ginger tea for afternoon tea.

信

妈妈曾经说过，很旧以前，人们常常喜欢写信来保持联络。但是，现在人们手中就只有手机或手提电脑。要传送的讯息或祝福不到几秒钟就收到了。。。但是，不知为什么，我有时依然渴望收到一封别人亲手写的信。也许须要等待，可是这一种等待又何尝不是一种说不出的快乐和幸福呢？特别是信在手中时。。。也许有时自己真的跟不上现代人的步伐，或也许对写信那段日子依然念念不忘。。。你是否还记得你自己曾经亲手写的一封信？那应该是好久好久以前了吧？

A request

In Taiwan, SB and JQ bought a piece of cloth each and requested me to sew them a tissue holder. Having taken up their request, I went to youtube and google how to sew a tissue holder.

I'm lucky enough to find a video that demonstrate sewing a tissue holder in few easy steps.

So there it is.

A friends' request.

等车

今天，在车站等车的时候

我试把周围熟悉的环境，

用数码相机捕捉下来。

绿优优的一片，

绿叶把单调的围墙填上了色彩。

Photography

Bought a few books from Eslite Bookstore in Taiwan and this is one of them. I'm trying to achieve the Japanese style photos, simple and has the very cosy feel. 

Had to make some adjustment using photoshop but this pic still lacks the Japanese feel. Can't figure out how to soften the pic using photoshop.

I like this pic. Soft, simple and sweet.

Handmade gift

I got this idea from the news and I improvised with other materials and it works as well.

Could you guess what is the use of this?

大老二

This is 大老二！So named as he is my second plush toy. But of course, he will have a new name from his new owner. 

He just accompanied SB to Taiwan and now back in Singapore. 

I had a great trip especially love my stay at 南投清境农场 at a B&B known as 云顶。I got to see the sun setting into the 云海。

I hope 大老二enjoyed himself too.
