Thankful

I feel thankful for the little little things that happen to me and around me now and then. Perhaps not as often as I wanted, especially when I lose my head and let events influence my stand. But still sufficient for me to see the brighter side of the world, and today just happens to be one of these blessed days.

I'm thankful to the friend who called me up on his way to work and made a date with me next week. You are priceless. Thank you.

I'm thankful to the person who actually remembered me and insisted on giving me the shirt, telling me I deserve it. Just when I thought the others had left me out yesterday. Thank you.

I'm thankful for the friend that constantly mothers me around in office. You're such a dear. Thank you.

I'm thankful for the quiet day that I had all to myself in the normally crowded room, it gave me opportunity to clear my head and tell myself to be brave and look forward. Thank you.

I'm thankful for that someone for not buzzing me to hand up the work. Maybe she's forgotten, and it gave me enough inspiration to conceive an idea for my future project. Thank you.

I'm thankful that the dinner I prepared turned out ok. Thank goodness for no charred remains. And at least one got a nod of approval from her. Hopefully I'll get more chances to cook for her. Thank you.

So many blessed little things to be thankful for... may there be more to come. :)

Workless days beckons... not!

Have I left an indelible print in you?

I promised myself that I'll make sure nobody fills my shoes...

Have I done it..?

Wow.. it's been a long while since I really blog. So far, nothing's new. Perhaps I'll be facing some imminent jobless days after the end of this month though. lolx. Sure hope I'll get hooked on a job soon.

Anyhow, I'm glad my industrial training days are coming to an end though. I'll miss some of the nice people there. There're only a handful, haha... which is pretty sad. Most of those who actually took the effort to remember my name and not go "eh.... trainee!" have been asking when's my last day.

Ya... I actually go a bit fuzzy when they do that. Because I'm touched that they cared. At least I can assure myself that I ain't no identitiless stranger to people I once worked with, and somewhere somehow I might have touched a chord in them too....

Have no fear, Waffle World is 'eRe~

I was feeling blue sometime back... when boo brought me there.

Don't like that lar... cheer up!

Look waffles!

The waffles were light and crisp, and it's fillings were delightful too.

I hope they have pancakes too! They do!

And that's how we ended up savouring these beauties..

Vanilla ice-cream melting on a stack of pancakes, topped with sweet blueberries and sauce.

The sauce was sweet alright, but I needed it to make my day.

Thank you~

Sushi cravings~

The macho man hard at work on Wesak's Day. My first disciple. lolx.

Ta-daa~ I made the tamago-yaki! First time jadi... was so gleeful then.

Assorted maki.. but still none comparable to any made by Chel. haha~

More maki~

House of Cats

A visit to the House of Cats is always a chockful experience of vibrant colours, scents, sights, mouth-watering food and jolly people.

The Mistress's prided shoe collection. One out of three tiers of them. Something out of the ordinary shoe collection that one would expect, isn't it?

One of Princess Sophie's bounty from Chatuchak market.

The drape that precedes the dining table. No, this picture is not doing it justice, I assure you.

Cupcakes lovingly made from scratch by the Mistress and the birthday lady's sisters!

** I named the cosy shack House of Cats as the mistress during her prime time used to keep about 29 cats in her house. The mistress is a kitty-loving person, would not tolerate animal cruelty and had also been featured in the papers before for her incredible hobby.

Mushroom Hunting

Tis is what I do during my lunch breaks,
mushroom hunting....

Working can be a bore, so me and boo will occasionally escape to this serene park nearby our offices during lunch break. Normally we'll pack sandwiches, after which boo will start on his mind maps or settle down with a book while I go meliar.....

...... as in looking for mushrooms laa. what you thinking??

Beautiful works of Mother Nature, aren't they?

Jien, the new addition

Babies are simply adorable, aren't they?
You just can't find any befitting adjectives to compliment them.

Happy 1 month old, darling!~
