Zakka Tote

Continuing my sewing frenzy, I started sewing when the 7pm Korean drama started till the 10pm Korean drama ended. This is the end product of a 4 hour effort.

I kind of like the Zakka look. Simple, clean cut and manly.

Camo Tote

Yesterday went to buy more fabrics and bought a piece of hard canvas. I was so excited to see the possibility the canvas could be sewn into. I spent 4 hours to make this tote bag. It turned out quite well as I took measurement of Hermes and YSL tote bags.

Lunch in a plastic wrapper

This was my lunch today.

And it was very tasty. I threw in red dates, 枸杞子 and some chilli padi. The noodle was Q and the soup base tasty with a little herbal taste. Love the 麻辣肉骨茶 taste.

A cool raining morning

When was the last time I had breakfast in the late morning at a cafe, idling away in a cool raining morning?

Decades ago? I don't really remember.

I'm grateful that I'm able to read my book and sipping kopi, watching the rain fall from the sky violently and relentlessly.

A nice cool morning to sit outdoor and read my book.

The feeling, priceless!

Specky look

After I started wearing glasses, I find that I look a little weird without glasses on photo.

Is it a matter of getting accustomed to the specky look or is it that the more interesting frame hides the not so flattering eyes?

Baking for Sunny

Baking some cookies for Sunny now.

The first time I tried was a complete failure as I didn't follow closely to the recipe.

This time round, the cookies look good in the oven. I hope they taste as good as they look. Well, after all, they are filled with good stuff, like Manuka honey, flax seed and peanut butter.

A small floral carrier

This is a small carrier. I finally got the Denison correct and that's because I refer to one of the many sewing books I've bought.

The size is just right, not too big, not too small.

Going to give this to an aunt who said she loves this fabric very much.

Be thankful

SB said we should be thankful that we could still walk and able to walk the globe.

I agree with her totally. What's more important than health. If health is the most important thing in our life, shouldn't we put extra effort to enhance it? Shouldn't we make every effort not to destroy it?

While we are in the pink of health, let us also keep our loved ones in prayers for their well being as well.

I thank God for all his blessings and will continue to acknowledge that and give him praise for all the blessings.

Rest if you must

If you are tired, just take a rest.

To rest, is to go a longer distant.

Still the heart and get a clear picture where you want to head to.

Stop

Pause

And see with your heart.

Ramen

Believe me, any ramen in Japan is better than those you get in Singapore.

This bowl of ramen cost less than S$10 but it was really tasty. The eatery said they take 3 days to prepare the soup base.

It's really cheap and good

Okonomiyaki

Everytime we come to Osaka to visit Yoshi and Rika, we would come to eat Okonomiyaki, at this same restaurant near their place.

Somehow this time round, I didn't find the taste as exciting as the previous times. Nevertheless, it was still Oishi!
