♥04: Banana Blueberry Pancakes


o
Pancake Ingredients♥ eggs/ flour/ baking powder/ milk/ butter/ cinnamon/ salt/ banana
Blueberry Jam Ingredients♥ blueberries/ sugar/ lemon/ salt
Caramel Sauce Ingredients♥ butter/ sugar (melted)

Too much cinnamon powder and the pancakes look brown. ): 
These go well with a cup of tea/coffee, i had mine with fruity berries black tea.

I used to find fruit-flavored tea not my cup of tea, i find it too sour; cant imagine people 
drinking tea with no sugar added. But now,i don't put sugar in my tea anymore. So recently, I received another tin of very nice TWG tea from my colleagues. I like how the sweet aftertaste of (fruit) berries that lingers at the back of the mouth for a long time. 
Relaxing mild cuppa berries with a touch of vanilla- taste bud delight!

If only Life is all about watching the clouds float by/ blowing bubbles/ sitting by the beach 
listening to the orchestra of the crashing waves playing a soulful tune / baking/ experimenting with new recipes /reading/ yoga/ photography/ lazy afternoons spend at homey cafes exuding lackadaisicalness with a aroma coffee/tea. 
(See! There's so much to do and i've no time for work! :b Just kidding... )

Speaking of cafes, i'll be exploring Carpenter & Cook coming Thursday- think its going to be an english-themed vintage atmosphere. Guess people don't usually visit cafes solely for the food but more for the beverages and the atmosphere. 

Will be back to work on Monday, hope thing goes well, wish me gd Luck/ best of luck/all the very best ok? :D



Have a good mid-week ♥ (:

"The sound of the ocean captured in a shell, like a memory. Imagine if it held something different, something more than just the sound but just as real. What if we had a chance to remember things that we never actually experienced?
What good is it if it didn’t happen? No one would believe it.
Well, you’d believe it. It’s about the feeling, that’s what matters..." -Wesley Chan
Oh Woah! . . .

Wesley chan can writes real poetic lines and tell really deep story! His no/low budget projects definitely beats most of the high-end films in the theatre thus far.
I like "Shell" and "When Five Fell" the most. Gosh! It's mind-boggling.
How do i put it? It's like how i always feel that one of Man's greatest invention is the camera. It's ability to capture that special moment in time; okay, i mean like literally freeze it.*in a snap!* 
And here, Wes can capture the pure essence of thought; the way he depicted them creatively in his short clips (in "When Five Fell", he portrayed senses based on objects and uniquely Wes's way of course! :).

I am sure the little thing that flows beyond the thoughts of many or those subtle moments that people don't pay attention to or simply can't be bothered with, he paints it very well. I wonder if he zones out alot/wandering in his own imaginary world or simply contemplating most of the time?

Anyway, absolutely great cinematography and incredibly narration in both creative and artistic way! Nice lighting too! Keep going, Wesley Chan!

Please check out " Wong Fu Production" if you haven't. :D
Ps: Find his work/short clips (around 10mins each) on YouTube or http://wongfuproductions.com
Look out for those scripts written/directed by Wesley Chan, alright? (:
Do read his director's note and commentary notes too.

Okay okay! I am switching off *Fan-girl mode*. 
Goodnight! :D 

Mah-sit-sso-yo .. .

o맛있어요! (: 
Cooking is fun & its an art too! Make a grocery list, shop and anticipate to make your own dish! It's really practical experiments/ trial and error; you will only get better. I've been wanting to get an oven for the longest time.. . 


Oh! On a more serious note, recently, CAD are investigating financial transactions of our mega-church in Singapore and just a few years back,we've the NKF/ Ren Ci's saga. 
Sigh! When greed crawls in, and temptation is too hard to resist, man errs.
Investigation is on-going. Although i am in no position to give criticisms, I feel strongly that there shouldn't be any pressure when it comes to donation. It can be as little as a dollar or a thousand if you can spare. Of course, you contribute out of free will and your ability to do so. No doubts, all these tithes/money should righteously goes to the poor as intended and nothing else. Period.


Whether the existence of God or not, I believe nothing escapes the law of cause and effect; "whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap."

Still, we shouldn't pre-jugde but give him the benefits of doubt, till the truth comes to light. 

2,3,4,... i am counting down to Fly-day! :D

Ok. Jal-ja.. (:

Giselle

o
Last night, together with Ms Sirie, we witnessed a beloved piece of the Paris Opera Ballet. A 19th century classical dance performing Giselle.

It's a sad tale about this young girl (Giselle) who fell in love with a prince (Albrecht) and eventually dies of heartbroken after being jitled, betrayed and abandoned. She loses all reason and dies in a fit of madness. Later, return as an other-worldly spirit.

You should see how expressive they were with their feet as they danced across the room. Love how Giselle captured the "mad scene" immensely, just right after the prince true identity was revealed.That was definitely great acting married to amazing technique.

However the part that moved me alot is the second act; taking place in a forest graveyard. The wilis, souls of young girls who have died of a broken heart abandoned by an unfaithful lover, relentlessly track any masculine presence. These men will be driven by the wilis to a dance of death and the same fate will befall Albrecht. Despite everything, Giselle implores Myrtha for mercy. However the wilis were unmoved. Even though he is condemned to dance till death, Albrecht is sustained by Giselle's love; tear-provoking.

All in all, the ballerinas possess great drama skills and profound grace. Love how the back drop, props and atmospheric lighting set in perfectly with everything on stage (ballerinas accompanied with live orchestral music..) Just picturing walking into an illustrated book with characters dance to life. Totally in awe with the very impressive choreography as well.

Love classical dance.
To all passionate ballerinas, big applause and salute.

Hello 2012.
Some things i realized in 2011.

1) I've learnt not to over think things but follow your heart, go with the flow and just do it. I like it alot when forrest gump said, "Life is a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. " Even chocolates have different flavors right? (:

2) I like to preplan ahead of time but many a time planning doesn't mean you don't fail. So now, even if life doesn't work out the way i expect, i'll embrace the change and believe that it will eventually lead to a better plan.

3) If capturing intangible moments taught me anything this year, Henri Cartier-Bresson said it best." You just have to live and life will give you pictures."

I cannot be thankful enough to be surrounded by many warm & inspiring friends. Your support and constant encouraging words have been invaluable to me.
2011 was full of surprises (good & bad) and i can't wait for what is in store for 2012!

Happy 2012 to you who're still reading.(:
Thank you for letting me share alittle bit of my world with you.

People come & go....

oPeople come and go, how i wish it wasn't so.
I am bad with goodbye. I hate bidding farewell. Its really upsetting but that's life. I've a friend that left us not too long ago. A friend whom is always there in times of good and bad. Greatly missed.)):

It takes me awhile to accept the truth and move on. Then again, I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. So some are here for a season. Once they imparted all you need to know they're gone forever. That said,i am sure many will still stay for a lifetime.
Still, I savour life’s simple joys despite everything.

A friend wrote this on FB recently and i cant agree more. So i thought i should share it here.

"Friends whom you can talk about life with, not superficial stuffs. Don't need many, few will suffice." How true.
So yes, whether you like it or not; accept it or not.
People come and go. . .

On a lighter note, Christmas is around the corner.
Merry christmas to one and all.(:
