My Fascination with My Pastry

There was this small scale food fair going on at the subway station near my place, there were pushy-carts peddling snacks and small packed meals and accessories. These guys come and go throughout the year with absence of one or one plus month in-between. 


I expected guests to pop by tonight so was planning the food and entertainment. It's the first time in a long while since I invited any friends. The Poser Place is always in a doggone mess! With GooeyGecko's help we managed to make PoserPlace more homely and less like a sty. I think still a lot of work to do but at least the place is clean to live in now.


On the menu for tonight - Pizza. But what about dessert? My friends like desserts so I went to explore the options from the pushy-carts. Found this cart selling cakes and the flavours - avocado and lavender/chocolate looked really, really familiar. I took a sample and realised I found the supplier which my friend D had engaged with while she was running her cafe. Snapped up a selection of avocado, lavender/chocolate and also a brownie for 10 bucks and was pleased as a puppy. The cakes they have are generally the sponge-based kind and the flavours rather unique. Each serving the size of about 18cm by 8cm. The price makes these cakes a good deal.


So I went home and googled the name of the supplier and found these details.

Because I ate up all the leftover cake I don't have pictures to show. Next time, buddy. Otherwise google pictures posted by others if you have interest, I saw some lurking.

What's up pussycat?

So I made this simple vid and added a cute song to it. I like the randomness of filming Tiger Jones, my new next door neighbour when he comes over to visit. He's not overly friendly - which I believe is a good thing - and keeps a low profile - until the Mousey Ball shows itself in the form of a ball clasped within the fists of GooeyGecko. 

I was never a fan of Mousey Ball because it makes a racket when it drops to the ground. Maybe the noise, texture and colour are the key features making Tiger fall head over heels in love with it. In the last scene Tiger almost took Mousey Ball home. Thankfully not otherwise an embarrassing situation is sure to unfold. Tiger's mom and dad had never knew we let him play with Mousey Ball. It is a little strange for them to find Mousey Ball in their home one day to discover that Mousey Ball belonged to their neighbour although we got it for Tiger. See what I mean?

Anyway the vid is really simple. Still, I watched it for only about 500 times. The song is really catchy and cute so I like it. Short, sweet.

Merrrrow!

p.s. wow very impressed with the spammer who still managed to load some spam up my tagboard despite me already activating the Human Authenticator. Reward given for impressive behaviour - I'll keep the ad up there for a bit and then delete when I feel bored from seeing it.

Positive Reinforcement

Positive reinforcement - when those little scrawny rings just don't work anymore.


In times of despair with emails shot everywhere, a little motivation goes a long way. It warms the heart, touches the soul and your mind goes on a stroll.


Share a little positive reinforcement today, don't let those overworked minds go astray. Look at their eyes and say 'You're Okay!', then pat their back and cheer 'Olay!'. You'll see their fighting spirit come back to stay, and most definitely you have made your day.

O well. The verbal one works better I guess.

Happy 9th, PP.

My Pushy is a cutie boy he sweeps me off my feet.
An icon of all happy stuffs, he's a cheery face to greet.

I loved him since nine years ago, a long time you might find.
I'm really happy doing so - we're just two of a kind.

I need no flowers or chocolates or wine, as long as I have him.
Romantic presents will still be nice! Or else some kind of bling?

It's okay if he brings them late, I'm not going to cry.
His love is the best gift of all.. (and his gift I've yet to buy..)

Tis' great and fabulously important day is almost come to pass,
But these ties of friendship, love and trust is always here to last!

Happy 9th anniversary, PP.

Home made new year cookies are good stuff

Until they begin to turn bad...


Home made new year goodies have no preservatives so must finish eating in 2 weeks' time!


Now I'm stuffing my face with home made new year pineapple tarts so they won't go the way of the mold.


Burp!

I am super-human

This must be true since it is what is thought of me.

This must be true since things are considered fair and normal.

This must be true since decisions I make should always be right.

This must be true since my memory should never fail me.

Also, this must be true since I should be able to do everything at the same time.

I must be super-human.

Will you be making a movie inspired by my life, then?

Rabbid Ear

Gong hei gong hei everyone!
It's the first work day of the Rabbid Ear tmr and I can't bear to sleep yet because if I do tmr will approach sooner!
Plus I'm ugh having a tummy ache from that cold Pokka plum tea drink I had about 20min ago. Grr.


And now for some fun moments I had with the Rabbid theme of the lunar new year.

Yup and that's the new colour on the opposite ends of my living roomie! Loving the cheery lime green. It shows a hint of yellow under flash light.


Okie doke, that's all I want to show-and-tell tonight, need to nurse the tummy ache that's really bad now.
Ouchie.. ;(

He Shoots but He Doesn't Load

Happy Lunar New Year folks!


It's now the beginning of the third day of the lunar new year, hope everyone is enjoying the rest, relaxation, food and family time.


Prosperous new year everyone! Good health too!


I've had a little quality time with my extended family on Day 1 of the new year too and GooeyGecko wanted to showoff his brand new $1.2k semi-SLR cam so he took lotsa pictures. The thing is, this Gecko guy brings his camera around, shoots lots of things but yet he doesn't load 'em. Also because he brings his cam with him on his late-night outings, I can't even help to load the pictures. This irks me because, I guess you should already know, I.. like.. pictures! Grr..


So an update from the last spring cleaning event. It's still on-going. Hmm yes from where I come from, we spring clean through the lunar new year holidays. This is because no one visits our place, but the main reason is we have more stuffs sitting around than motivation to pack them all up.


Nonetheless, the colour scheme is up. The minimalist concept not really well executed, simply because we have too much stuff. The stuff we have.. usually they are stuff that have lower consumption rate, for example 4 unused multiplug extensions, 6 florescent lamp bulbs, a dozen tiny bulbs used for the smaller lights, half dozen random sized bulbs that seem like they dont fit any light in the house, 2 handsaws, 3 cans of WD-40, brand new bicycle lock, thousands of disposable containers and also thousands of reusable storage containers, again thousands of recyclable bags, dozens of lighters, 6 drawers full of stationery, 4 drawers full of paper, 2 chests full of children toys, 2 fold able tables and 2 other smaller fold able tables, 2 mahjong sets.. so on so forth because I'm getting tired of listing them. And these are just the extra supplies that we don't actively use.


Family of hoarders, that's who we are.


Sigh.


And tomorrow the packing continues!
