Faulpez test expired baking soda

To test baking soda:
Mix 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 2 teaspoons of vinegar - the mixture should bubble immediately - if not, replace it.

To test baking powder:
Mix 1 teaspoon of baking powder with 1/2 cup hot water - the mixture should bubble immediately - if not, replace it.

Grandparents

If you are not a grandparent you will still love this. If you are it shows
how precious the babies are and what we mean to them.

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own.
They like other people's.

A grandfather is a man, & a grandmother is a lady!

Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see
them.. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they
drive us to the shops and give us money.*****BIG CNY Gang pows specially..................

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves
and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about the colours of the flowers and also why we
shouldn't step on 'cracks.'

They don't say, 'Hurry up.'

Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.

They wear glasses and funny underwear.

They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandparents don't have to be smart..

They have to answer questions like 'Why isn't God married?' and 'How come
dogs chase cats?'

When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the
same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have
television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with
us.


They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers
with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

A 6-YEAR-OLD WAS ASKED WHERE HIS GRANDMA
LIVED. ''OH,'' HE SAID, ''SHE LIVES AT THE AIRPORT, AND WHEN WE WANT HER, WE JUST GO GET HER. THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE HAVING HER VISIT, WE TAKE HER BACK TO THE AIRPORT.''

GRANDPA IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH! HE TEACHES ME GOOD THINGS, BUT I DON'T GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH TO GET AS SMART AS HIM!

Bflygal comments: I read this via an email on 8th Feb 2011. And was reminded about the scene on 3rd Feb 2011. CNY first day. The first time my grandpa did not give me his CNY blessing. As I wished him happy CNY that day, I realised how fast a person can age. It seems to be like a roller coaster ride down as one approaches the end of his life. But how sure are we that the end is coming soon? Have we given up the hope of life too early? Forgive me that I do not have as much memories of him as I do of the rest of my other grandparents whom have all left me when I was young. Forgive me that even though I stayed with him for the recent years, I could no longer exchange much words with him by then. Forgive me that whatever past contributions he had done had been lost since we had sold that house though it was for his sake we had to move. And forgive me that as his granddaughter, I really did not and could not do anything at all. I could only wish that he is able to retain any beautiful memories that he would like to cherish to accompany him. I could only hope that this CNY, even though he was no longer aware of it, he would be able to enjoy it sufficiently.

p/s: Lately, quite a lot of people has been commenting that I am heartless. As my own worst critic, if I keep allowing these people to say such stuff to me, I probably will break down. Truth is, I don't think I am heartless. Is just that I need to put in effort and that takes time. And sometimes, I really don't know what are their demands. I remember sempai in the past define friends as someone who must meet regularly. And always say I'm not a good friend. But after awhile, he realised that meetups are time consuming and dropped his expectation of friends. Because seriously if I listen to his demands, I probably will tire out only. Anyway sigh I know I still owe capricorn friend an email just as I owe CL lots of emails.. I also wish I have 72 hours a day because I don't seem to have sufficient time to accomplish everything. I really feel that human relationships are so tricky that I really want to be a hermit soon. Then perhaps I will not feel so guilty at not spending sufficient time and effort with everybody whom I care for.

More on LDR

Due to the LDR mood.. I selected 2 inflight film on LDR theme before sleeping the rest of the night away...

First movie was 'Going The Distance'. The lady was from San Francisco who did a 6 weeks intern in New York. And met a guy there. Initially they did not want anything permanent as she is only there 6 weeks. But on the last day of the 6 weeks, they could not let go and decided to have a long distance relationship instead.

It was funny to see them make claims over each other after fear of unfaithfulness. Using words like 'exclusive to each other only' reminded me of how my colleague is doing that too to make claims on his gf.

When the male protagonist flew to San Francisco on Thanksgiving, she was so happy. But the moment he touched down back at New York, he missed her even more. Thus I wondered if absence makes the heart grows fonder, then perhaps in the first place, you should not even fly over to make things worst by making emotions run deeper.

Oh ya and I remember a scene where another LDR couple suggested to him to try phone sex.. Lots of it, to ease the loneliness. And he wanted to try it with her. But they were arguing over they were in a car or in a plane, and she was lying about what she wore saying it's a fantasy afterall. In the end the moment passed and it failed. Perhaps phone sex may work. But I guess you cannot have 2 person to lead in the phone sex. Imagine arguing over the venue, no wonder all the urge died fast especially when phone sex has just lived on imagination alone.

And everybody was saying that a relationship cannot last without seeing each other for months. She tried to find reporting jobs in New York but it was slum period. Likewise he was unable to find a job in San Francisco. Although she was willing to wait tables in New York, and he did ask her to come over as he really really want her to live together. But she had an offer with a newsagent in San Francisco and he could not bear to see her give up such a good chance just to be with him as no matter how sweet the initial period will be, she will resent him later on.

But they cannot carry on the relationship with no physical contact either. And thus he steeled his heart and parted with her confessing her deepest feelings, and him finally shedding tear (he only cried at his first break-up).

6 months later, he did quit his job (which he hate) and moved to Los Angelas which he explained to the geographically clueless lady, is just an hour flight away from Sans Francisco.

And the ending is a happy ending I guess. But I remember this part where they argued as she felt why she had to be the one that made the move, why he kept saying there will be a way. A way which she can't see. Will there really be a way?

Hanamizuki (Dogwood)
Meaning: To reciprocate
May your love bloom a hundred year

Is the second movie I watched. Also on LDR. A young scholarly girl and a young fisherboy knew each other and fell in love. But since young, the girl had wanted to go university. To study English. She was born in Canada. As she studied hard, the distance drifted. Sometimes he wished she will fail and stay in Hokkaido with him. But she did go uni.

There was a senpai whom was close to her. He got jealous. He wanted to give up fishing which is his family business. To be in Tokyo with her. But his father had a heart attack the next day and he had to look after his mum and sis. And as he had to persist in his dream (he said God was punishing him for giving it up a dream held by his grandfather days), he wants her to persist in hers too. And they have to split up.

He went on to marry. She went on to live and work in New York. Where her senpai had helped her settled down. She was supposed to marry her senpai but he died in a photography mission. Seems that fate played a trick as that was also the day his wife left him. And yet for the next few years, they drowned in their own sorrows in Hokkaido and New York separately.

Anyway a Jap movie always end sweetly and all the characters will end up with their first love, including them. I remember this scene where she went back Canada to see her birthplace and saw the boat carving he had given to her for Xmas in a pub (it has a flag that says Ganbatte Sae) and knew he had came by a few days ago only. Sadly they missed each other still.

Pencil and Eraser Conversation

Pencil: I'm sorry
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational.
Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil.
They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes.
Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

All my life, I've been the pencil.
And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day.
For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.

This is to all the parents out there.

bflygal's comments:
It really is a sweet but sad story. And reminded me of a few days ago I had some minor disagreement with my mum as she wanted me to take leave for CNY even though technically I am already working half a day due to time zone. But sigh I cannot stand her grumbling and end up submitting my leave instead. I know everytime I am heading back SG, she will definitely have something to grumble about, like finding a bone to pick. Not that she does it on purpose, probably she has some reservations about how I am leading my life now. I wonder though if one day, I really can accomplish my dream, will she be able to accept it? Reminded me of my recent conversation with senpai. Oh and we finally are able to meet in SG after him being in Japan for so long haha.. he was telling me that his mum scolded him an ingrate and that once a year also cannot come back and meet ah. Haha. cL, you better watch out as you had mentioned you might not want to fly back within these 2 years. Hahaha.

But ya despite all these disagreements, I know parents purely have the best intentions. So right now, all I can do is to try to make as little mistakes as possible so that the eraser will not get smaller? Hmm...

And thus I am still racking my brain to think what to buy back for them this CNY. And my friend had suggested trying yellow peaches which are on season now. Hopefully I can find some sample this weekend and then probably drop by the market again closer to my departure. I have another 10 days more hmm.. time shall flies.

In Love or Being In Love?

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

- extracted from a FB photo where I was tagged for unknown reasons (ok supposed to vote but I don't know who that person is leh..).. but I found the caption thought-provoking...

So I wrote a long long rambling to a friend what is the difference of "being in love" and "in love"...

and I finally saw light of my rambling that
"being in love" means you were using your mind to convince yourself that you love that person and that you were seeing through a rose-tinted glass the beautiful image that you conjured up.

then
"in love" means that you were no longer using your mind but your heart, you were no longer holding that rose tinted glass but seeing in bright clear light, that the person in front of u is who that person really is, and that you still want that person very much despite any flaws you can detect.

So how many can claim that he/she is truly in love?

Happy Birthday, Capricorn Friend

Haha I believed you still check my blog and perhaps this would be a nice surprise to you.

So why did I dropped a post specially to wish you happy birthday?

Well initially doc had mentioned that because there is no way to contact a long lost bday gal, thus the only way is to blog and wish the bday gal happy bday. And actually at that time, I did remember your bday is today.. I had wanted to wait till 12 am to email u happy bday.. but I realized I’m 3 hours ahead of you haha. So I gave up the idea and just emailed u in the morning instead. But doc’s idea remained fresh in my mind so I decided to type a fast post during my lunch break and wish you this old friend a happy birthday. Because I remembered it was due to my blog that we regained contact.

I still remembered the last time we met; it was the day before I finally accepted my ex. I was very confused and I remembered I asked u “does holding hands matters?” And you replied nope. But somehow being me, when I let him hold my hands, I probably had accepted him subconsciously. Haha that’s why after that, every time during trekking trips, I always refused to accept anybody’s helping hands already. After that meeting, we lost contact.

I did remember contacting you on one of your bdays though. I can’t remember I sms u happy bday, or I send you a happy bday card first. The bday card which I remembered I drew a rooster, did not elicit any reply. (Don’t ask me where I sent it to, I don’t remember haha). The sms though, you responded that you just got married and that you did not invite me because you did not invite much sec sch frens in the first place. (Later on, both YL and I concluded that you no heart la… if invite the 2 of us, we will have each other’s company already what haha).

Then all was forgotten till I started clearing my online presence. At that time I really cleared up a lot of the online junk I accumulated. I removed all my Friendster information including photos. I was clearing away all my past I guessed. And I removed the blog url in Friendster. Which triggered you to Friendster msg me asking me for my blog address. I was shocked. You were the last person I expect to read my blog haha. Ok when I created the blog, we had already lost contact. And I have never once mentioned to you I have a blog. Plus even my senior said my blog is boring, always about horoscopes and lyrics only.. and gave up following already. So it came as a surprise that you knew its existence and had been following it (not so regularly though I know haha).

So let’s see when you will see this post. This will probably gauge how often you read my blog “p.

And do enjoy this special day with your beloved wife and 2 children. As your long time friend, like what I said in the email, I think the best present would be to hear your 2 children say “Happy Birthday Daddy!”. Somehow I can feel the warmth for u too =D

p/s: and we have indeed proved after all these years, that platonic relationships do exists right ;-)

pp/s: Is 2 a.m. here, but it should be 11pm back home so I think I managed to be in time to publish this haha.. Sorry, I had a steamboat gathering with my colleagues... and I needed to push out the post before this... phew at least I made it in time still "p

Celine Dion - Then you look at me

Celine Dion - Then you look at me

Laugh and cry,
live and die
Life is a dream we are dreaming
Day by day I find my way
Look for the soul and the meaning

Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore

People run, sun to sun,
Caught in their lives ever flowing
Once begun, life goes till it's gone
We have to go where it's going

Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore

And you say you see
When you look at me
The reason you love life so
Though lost I have been
I find love again
And life just keeps on running
And life just keeps on running
You look at me and life comes from you

Bflygal's comments:
Was watching Bicentennial Man, a 1999 movie which followed loosely Isaac Asimov's story. And I so love Isaac Asimov. I remember when I first read his book I, Robot (1950), I was either in my primary school days or early secondary school days and his Three laws of robotics blew me.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I don't quite remember this novella (some vague idea but not clear remembrance) partly as he wrote a lot of short stories on his robot series that I cannot really remember the stories exactly already. But he was probably the reason why I used to be so fascinated with AI. Of course sometimes I wish I could be in such area but as of now, I am still unable to figure out how.

However seeing how Andrew, the robot, actually using his knowledge to made an advancement in medical world, makes me wish I have such a skill. It is afterall still in my intent to mix IT with medical. But hmm I remember years ago when I thought about this topic, I had the following conclusion.

Anyway I'm thankful though that she enlighten me greatly with regards to IT & Healthcare, a topic that I have been thinking about for sometimes. She reminded me at least that as doctors, the main aim is to cure not only the disease but to heal the person too. This is something I hope to remember forever.. never to let IT replace the doctors.

- extracted from my past post in 2008

Because I know towards the end, Andrew had put Portia on a life support. So that they can both end their life together… Don’t really like that idea but oh well, he had went through deaths of Sir, Little Miss.. and it had gotten a point that he realised
“Will every human being that i care for just leave?”
Which saddened him greatly. That’s why he started creating prosthetic parts suitable for a human.

I remember initially when he was with Little Miss, Little Miss had fallen for him. And Little Miss was hinting to him that she likes him… the conversation goes like this:
Little Miss: I have this friend and he's smart and funny, and whenever I’m with him, I don't wanna be with Frank.
Andrew: I can see how that would create a problem.
Little Miss: Yes...
Andrew: but the answer is staring you in the face... marry your friend.

Sadly Little Miss knows that… “a relationship between us would be impossible. It would never, could never, work out.”

So they skip 2 generations while Little Miss got married to Frank and had a son who later got married too and had a daughter who is a spitting image of her grandmother.

And Andrew and Portia first meeting wasn’t exactly pleasant because he resented her for looking like Little Miss haha. So it was funny the first time Andrew went to find Portia and told her he did not like her at all. Then she replied “It couldn't be more clear if you spit in my face.” Which he replied “I can't. I don't have a mucous gland.” Talking about robot’s humour… hahahha

Then I remember there is this part when Andrew talks about making love

That you can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries. All time. That two bodies can become so mixed up, that you don't know who's who or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you're gonna die... you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. That's a miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. You can go back anytime you want with the one you love.

Then Rupert Burns asked “And you want to experience that?“ of which Andrew replied “Oh, yes, please. “
Then Rupert said “So do I.”
And I cannot stop laughing that I almost rolled off my bed hahahhaa...

To think when Sir first explains about sex, he had commented that “It all sounds so very... messy.”
and after learning the fate of most sperm cells, he actually “feels badly for them.”
Yet this is the same robot that many decades later, wants to experience personally what exactly does lovemaking entails.

And of course he will need a target to “experiment” that and obviously it is none other than the granddaughter since Little Miss is no longer young to be able to accompany him. It amused me when Portia told him frankly that “I like you. I even understand you some of the time. But I'm not about to invest my emotions in a machine.” Of which he responded that it must be genetics to skip a generation because that was exactly what Sir told Little Miss to not invest her emotions in a machine too.

Afterall, like what Sir said, “Andrew, People grow through time, then for u, time is a completely different proposition, for u, time is endless.”

So it is perfectly logical that it is impossible to have a relationship with a machine, no matter how humanely like he is.

Right?
But then Portia contradicts herself when she said “What's right for most people in most situations isn't right for everyone in every situation! Real morality lies in following one's own heart.”

I still remember when Andrew first had his nerve feelings installed, he had asked Portia to poke him to feel pain. And then proceed to demand a kiss from her for the sake of science as an experiment. And when she gave him a chaste kiss, he said not that, and just went on to passionately kiss her. It took her by surprise so much she cannot even reject. That sure is taking advantage of a lady haha.

And the best part is at the church where she was planning to get married to a typical guy and he demanded that he just want a short kiss but he continued for quite a period of time. She then tried to stop him and reminded him that he only wanted a short kiss, which he quick-wittedly replied, “I lied.” And started giving facts that she want him just as much due to her increased heart rate and her rising temperature and whatever body tell-tale signs a robot can detect immediately. Basically in his words, “I know love isn't fair! I'm reading your heart. And asking you to follow it.” Haha so I guess one should never fall in love with a robot or a doctor who can read your body tell-tale signs easily. Too dangerous haha.

Of course back to reality, Portia realizes that “But if this really works between us? You and I will never be accepted. We can't be married or anything.” Because he is still a machine and no matter how he tried to petition to the World Congress to recognise him as human, which would allow him and Portia to be legally married. In the end he is still rejected, as he is essentially immortal, and in their eyes, an immortal cannot be human. Hmm I remember he tried to rebuke that he is as much of a robot with human body parts as a human is as much of a human with robotic parts i.e. prosthetic parts.. but it makes sense that he is no matter what, immortal still. Guess being too perfect isn’t that good afterall as imperfections make us individuals.


So he did the next best thing he could do. He asked Rupert for a blood infusion into his system. And they had a humorous conversation on the fuzziness of human condition.

Andrew Martin: You've been a great example, Rupert. How quickly will the blood degrade my system?
Rupert Burns: Oh, I don't know. You exercise, eat right, I'd say 30, 40 years.
Andrew Martin: That's a little vague, chief. You don't know exactly how long I'll last?
Rupert Burns: Sorry.
[puts his hand on Andrew's shoulder]
Rupert Burns: Welcome to the human condition.

And when he next petition again to be recognized as a human, he had a truly touching conversation with the President.

Andrew Martin: I've always tried to make sense of things. There must be some reason I am as I am. As you can see, Madame Chairman, I am no longer immortal.
President Marjorie Bota: You have arranged to die?
Andrew Martin: In a sense I have. I am growing old, my body is deteriorating, and like all of you, will eventually cease to function. As a robot, I could have lived forever. But I tell you all today, I would rather die a man, than live for all eternity a machine.
President Marjorie Bota: Why do you want this?
Andrew Martin: To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity.
President Marjorie Bota: Mister Martin, what you are asking for is extremely complex and controversial. It will not be an easy decision. I must ask for your patience while I take the necessary time to make a determination of this extremely delicate matter.
Andrew Martin: And I await your decision, Madame Chairman, thank-you for your patience.
[turns to Portia and whispers]
Andrew Martin: I tried.

And finally he succeeded in acknowledging his humanity and validating his marriage.

World Congress Moderator: Ladies and Gentlemen: Ms. Marjorie Bota, President of the World Congress.
President Marjorie Bota: According to the records at the NorthAm Robotics Company, the robot also known as Andrew Martin, was powered up at 5:15 pm on April 3rd, 2005. In a few hours, he'll be 200 years old, which means that with the exception of Methuselah and other biblical names, Andrew is the oldest living human in recorded history. For it is by this proclamation, I validate his marriage to Portia Charney, and acknowledge his humanity.

Except he had left the world before hearing it, although Portia said that he never really needed to hear it either.

Sigh, such is a robot who tried to make sense of his purpose in life and went through lots and gave up immortality for the namesake of love.

The last thing I want to remember though is sometimes too much knowledge can indeed be detrimental to oneself. Because due to his vast readings, he started having ideas on what most people has been fighting for – Independence. In his words “One has studied your history. Terrible wars have been fought where millions have died for one idea, freedom. And it seems that something that means so much to so many people would be worth having.”

生命诚可贵，爱情价更高。若为自由故，两者皆可抛。

Hmm but seriously, is independence that important? Somehow the show goes to prove that it isn't. Hmm..

How long will love last..

Was posed this question yesterday
“just wondering only.. how long will love last..”
love can last forever if handle correctly

“but is there lots of such cases?”
eh.. y not.. love can last as long as u wan it to

And I wake up this morning, wondering how much truth did I spoke or was I just smoking through? I went to search for my past pensieves,

Love conquers all?

Ms Esther Au Yong wrote an article on “Why couples can’t live on love alone” in MyPaper (11th April 2008). It was with reference to the love turned sour relationship of Mr Ronald Susilo and Ms Li Jiawei.

>> So couple cannot live on love alone. True to a large extent.

Non verbal communication

He first mentions that if a couple is in love, they will emulate each other. This behaviour is called "Interactional synchrony". The stronger the relationship, the greater is the degree of emulation. Thus that is why you feel at ease.

>> Then when you break up, did it become interactional asynchrony? It was interesting to note though that looking back, he felt that the 2 of them did not have anything in common. But as a outsider, do I agree with what he said? And then does it matter when the two does not have anything in common? I always thought a union meant you are supposed to create a new path, common and accessible only by the two of you. My Canadian friend also taught me this when she was saying she like her coffee diluted while he like his thicker. But it is of small matter because all she needs to do is to just add more water when pouring a cup for herself. They are a very sweet couple who did have an interesting love story together too. And absolutely loving, that one cannot help but envy them haha.

>> Ok this one came out in the search list, I wasn’t looking for it. And since it came out, I just want to say to cL sometimes I would reply 90% of the questions. Sometimes I might not. And sometimes I might have been drafting the reply but constant asking somehow will irritate me and I will then stop my draft because I got tired thinking how to reply it diplomatically (in my sense). As for that question, let’s just say the idealistic me still wish to reply yes. And I realized I am sometimes too idealistic to survive in this pragmatic world.

>> Just checked mail and guess what, this topic came out in ... au.shoppinglifestyle.com Actually I don't remember subscribing to this site but oh well, who cares..

Set it free

If you love something set it free,
if it comes back to you it's yours,
if it doesn't it never was.

>> So I guess he has to set it free. And accept that it was never meant to be.

A deeper understanding of love

Love is infinite. It does not diminish even when you’re giving it away freely.

>> That is the source I guess as to why I replied so definitely last night. Because I too trust that love is infinite. Afterall love comes in many different forms and I was not asked which love he was trying to determine the lifespan. Haha. Oh but I don't agree with the part on love needs not be spoken haha. Unless of course you can do the non verbal love expression which works like magic from what I notice from the Canadian friend.

Admit it, I’m just a dreamer, dreaming in this world.

Faulpez varies her eggs

French Toast. My first attempted frying dish just had to be that because when I was young, I recall mum making that dish and I somehow fell in love with it. Though I don't remember her doing it again (or rarely).

My favourite Tamago which I sliced it up haha... the presentation looks better this way..

Sunny side egg..

Was trying to cook egg with carrot and cheese like an omelette style

Of course I will also attempt my soft boil egg which I did not take photo haha. But one thing for sure, eggs and tomatoes are always in my fridge and are the first few items I will get every time I'm back in Melbourne.

Faulpez does has a penchant for croissants

I admit I do like croissants alot. So when I saw a special deal on 20 mini croissants, I immediately bought them. Then sometimes I will see the big ones having some slight discount of which sometimes I will buy and sometimes I will not. Afterall it is more expensive than white bread which just costs me 1+ AUD.

And I usually eat them plain. I remember getting a pack like this back in Sydney and having them as my breakfast plain. Haha that is the lazy way out I guess.

But recently, I caught sight of ham. Probably because mum bought lots of turkey ham for Christmas dinner and thus I started to miss ham a teeny bit.

And decided to put ham, tomato, iceberg lettuce and cucumber into my croissant.

Yummy!
