Escapade

When talking about 'escapade' people would simply think of nice sandy beaches, or country hillside greeneries...fresh air, cool breeze...
SO DO I.
But as a city dweller trapped in the office at daytime (and most oftenly till late evening), there is jst no way for me to have a single chance of getting into an escapade...
unless I take leave...
which at the moment is too hard as the team is in short of people
so the nearest escapade (during the day) is the nearby pantry...
haha!
sounds pathetic hor???

Nephew's Fullmoon

Attended my nephew's fullmoon some 2 months ago. Should i say he is my nephew?
(He is my cousin's son...So what did i call him?)
It was a humble solemn ceremony held in church with relatives, church member and close frens attending.
Not much of hoo-haa...and the baby was asleep throughout the congregation.
 We were then treated a luncheon buffet after the session. My greedy sister took a plate-full of fruits and jellies...all desserts for her!
I dun favor fruits much...so she walloped everyting on this plate!

Misir Cipsi

Misir Cipsi is not a gypsy's name...
Nor it comes from Mesir...
It is just...
a...
humble...
CORN CHIPS!
yeah, it is a Turkish name for corn chips!
how much do u like chips???
I just simply luv them!
I tried different chips from every country I went...
The one above was a big pack bought in some convenient shop in Istanbul. It doesn't cost much and it tastes good and crunchy!

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Few days back, I was watching this late nite movie aired on tv. It was a nice movie, sort of chick flick which sounds too good to be true.
Well, i mean many things being pictured as if a fairy tale in a mundane working world. Take for example, Rebecca can easily gets into a job, and what more working under a kind boss who helps her alot.
Out of luck, Rebecca wrote an article that gets her famous not only regionally but also internationally.
She gets all the recognition of all sudden with just one article!
I was like...wow..how much fame can an article brings to a person??
the whole thing sounds unlogic...but uh well, it is Walt Disney production...so, every fantasy is normal!
And next thing is, Rebecca's kind boss, Luke is some extraordinary charming guy who has the brain, high spirited (to create his own name), humble, and is a son to a rich lady! (that sort of bring us the perception of a modern prince). Coupled with his cute and adorable look, he is jst one heart-melting guy a girl could dream of! Oh yea, that's explained why he is being fancied by Alicia from Alette mag!
With all those accolades and glamor event that Rebecca got to attend, someone might wonder if writing articles in financial magazine is such a glamor job to take...
To tell the truth, I write too, in blogs and technically in my job, but till now, my writings are unrecognisable and unappreciated.
It takes some effort to reach to a level where everyone reads and likes what u wrote. After all, life is not that easy and success dun comes overnite!

Siu Mai

Siu Mai is NOT a person's name...
It is edible...
It is yummy...
It is chewable...
It is made of pork...
and most importantly
It is my favorite dim sum!
oh no, dim sum is not a person's name!
