cheese and toast

my cooking style is very practical…it goes something like “ok, i need carbo, veggies and taste (go!)”. it’s usually mixed in some kind of soup base just so everything’s in one pot and i use the pot as a bowl. so when i suddenly get inspired to cook something special, it’s usually quite short burst.

this was one of the days when i wanted to head to a favourite cafe for a sandwich, coffee and read a book but was turned off by the possibility of it being crowded so i shopped my own ingredients instead and ate at home <3 enjoyed it very much!

chiangmai: genesis home

on the back of Calvin’s pick up truck was INSANE!! INSANE I tell you!! I’ve never travelled so fast on the outside before…on the road…my hair was tangled in knots when we stopped and my face was like…flapping!! haha 

one of the purpose of the trip there was to visit a few orphanages and see what were their needs, get to know the children and the helpers at each home and see how we can contribute. 

so the first day we met the children of Genesis Home. and there was this little boy, one of the youngest there (his parents both have AIDS and are unable to take care of him) and he was really grumpy at first by the strangers being there. then afterwards he started pointing at my white converse and then to his slippers. not really understanding what he was saying but i just took his hand and he just started giggling and laughing all the way. 

he then went to the shoe rack and took out his well…sort of white…school shoes and put them on too! haha how cute <3

adventure with sis (part three)

lomography-1lomography-2lomography-3lomography-5streetstylenight-3streetstylenight-2

so yes, part three of my adventure with sis haha - sidetrack, i realize i’m a very chapter by chapter blogger. i like to segment my photos and each post the photographs need to complement each other and stuff. weird haha and so that’s why i have posts that are entitled “part three” - but anyway, onto our adventure.

after a super full dinner of chee cheong fun and porridge (yum!), we decided to take a walk and headed towards ann hsiang hill area. and as we were crossing the road I spotted this huge lomography sign glowing bright red in the night. cool! they were having some kind of event…not sure what it was though haha but nobody stopped us when me and my sis cruised right in to check out the new store. 

but if you frequent the other toy camera shops in singapore as much as i do (which honestly is not that…much haha but enough…i frequent the 2nd hand camera shops more often ;)) well, you’d have seen most of the stuff already. so when we browsed enough, shuffled in the crowd enough and stepped on enough streamers, we continued our walk. that was when we were deliberating about photographing a stranger (haha) and then it was time to head home <3

the end of the adventure! till the next one :D
