Just a cup of coffee to help ease a hectic, busy day from work.

咖啡廳的小故事：甜蜜的下午茶

老翁呆呆的坐在沙發上，無神的望著站在櫃檯的太太，等候著他們三點一刻的下午茶。老太太小心翼翼的拿起托盤，慢慢的走向等候已久的先生。托盤上擺放了兩杯香濃的熱咖啡和一份咖啡廳的招牌土司。厚厚的土司上淋滿了甜甜的蜜糖，再加上兩大勺的香草冰淇淋。看到如此壯觀的甜點，老翁和太太都看傻了眼，頓時閒，兩人都不知覺的笑了。老翁徐徐的站起來，慢慢的結果太太手中的托盤然後小心翼翼的坐下，準備與心愛的太太一起享用著甜甜的下午茶。而我，也因爲它們的甜蜜，也開始覺得手上的咖啡也變得更美味了。~ 慧

waffle this way

I cannot remember when was the last time I ate this waffle.  It has always been a popular snacks for the locals and my sister J.K likes it a lot.  I cannot deny the fact that it smell so nice while in the process of baking it, the aroma could spread up to at least 3 level high.  Personally, I like it spread with Kaya jam whilst J.K loves it mix with peanut butter and chocolate.  How about you?

sultana scone

A coffee place which had been opened for almost a year plus in a corner of a quiet street.  I happened to pass by this cafe every morning while on my way to work, but never get a chance to really visit it.  So as I still have some time available before meeting my friend at City Hall.  I dropped by to have my daily coffee fixed.  My mocha latte was aromatically delicious, it did makes my whole tea experience better apart for some flaws in the pastry I ordered.

homemade hair detangler

Inspired by Jillee from "One Good Thing" in creating homemade hair detangler.  I decided to give it a try!

All you need is just the following:-

1. A Spray Bottle (I got mine from Daiso at just $2.00)

2. Water

3. Hair Conditioner

Fill the spray bottle with water till 2/3, then top the rest with hair conditioner.  Then stir well and use it.  Spray it on hair and hair brush to use. 

My sister J.K used it and she like it so much.  For me, I also sprayed at bit at the tips of my hair for some conditioning.  Enjoy.

thai oriental sweetness

I'm so glad to meet with Kentaro-san while I was in Bangkok on my solo trip.  It has been quite sometime since we last met.  He brought me to a food court at Big C Centre near Chit Lom, over at there, I can experience how the local office wokers settle their lunch.

Kentaro-san recommended this dessert me.  Sweet Bean curb with hot ginger soup top with golden crackers.  It looks scary but it taste yummy.  Had been missing it since on my way back to Singapore.

Walking along the bustling J J Market street and under the hot sun.  I am totally lost and has no idea what I want to get from here.  The further I walked, I realised that I couldn't find my way out.  Thank God for the kind local soul who brought me out to the main street and from there, I was able to find my way back to the BTS.
