Being loud


Chinese new year really is the time of bright and loud colours and to be honest, I have never been the sort of girl who wears colours that attract unnecessary attention, until we decided to get this gorgeous pink blazer from H&M that was on sales.



I think it turned out pretty nicely, and it was nice to have a breathe if colors to welcome spring.

On a side note, I really do need to get a camera soon as my Canon is officially broken. :(

Spontaneity

Cooking is very much personal. Christie and I try out recipes often but what we do on a daily basis is just cooking and throwing in whatever we like into the pot. This habit of ours to just randomly create dishes from scratch with whatever we already have in our fridge and with no guidance can often lead to a gastronomic disaster and sometimes the opposite. Okay, I was exaggerating, my definition of disaster meant an edible crinkled tasteless piece of chicken breast.

On days where our mana point for culinary superpowers is sufficient, things like this happens.

A really simple, tasteful creamy mushroom pasta topped with alfafa, chili flakes, dash of lemon juice, salt, pepper and a couple more ingredients that I cannot remember for the love of bacon.

We really need to start making it a habit to write down the recipe. It's easier said than done when it's spontaneous cooking.
