words, images, life
Sometimes, especially when I am freaking out about things, my train of thought can be as random and as odd as the movies on my Netflex queue, but when one of those “I forgot why I put it on my queue” movies showed up in the mailbox, sometimes, I am uplifted by the stories. How? [...]
I couldn’t let December pass without baking, so I made a pound cake tonight.
It’s so easy! And it looks so beautiful!
And yes, it tastes as good as it looks.
I’ve been too busy. There are many things I’d like to write about, but life moved forward without giving me enough time to do everything I should do. Before I know it, many memorable events went undocumented. But… here’s an effort to write about my birthday.
It was actually last Friday, October 10th, that I turned [...]
I’ll turn 31 on October 10th… oy…. getting old…
For my past two birthdays, I celebrated with a group of friends, good food, some drinking, plus some happy dancing. It was a lot of fun to gather many friends all in one place. But in the past year I’ve become more quiet, and less social. I [...]
I’ve developed a habit of doing something in the kitchen whenever I feel stressed, because unless I cook complicated dishes with long ingredient list, most of the time, cooking or baking requires very little of my brain power.
Last Friday night, I again felt very tense. My shoulder muscles were as tight as rocks, and I just [...]
Today, I skipped lunch to go shopping for a dress to wear to a banquet this Saturday (in two days). It was a totally spontaneous, spur of the moment move that I just “had” to do. I gracefully made my way to White House Black Market, and in twenty minutes, I spent $286 on one [...]
In the evening of August 11th, 2008,
Something historical happened…
I baked for the first time!!!
The lucky choice of sweet was…
Brownie!!!
My house was filled with the delightful aroma,
and it turned out really, really well!
I cut out four pieces to serve with milk.
I had one piece, while the other three went to my brother’s tummy.
He gave me two tumbs up!
Hehe, I [...]
Karen Cheng the online goddess started Doing the Karen Cheng on facebook, and, being a big Karen Cheng fan, I just had to follow. Yeah, I am one of those crazy people.
It just happened so that I wanted spend some time by myself after work today, so I went to Downtown Brea, which is pretty close to where I [...]
At around 9pm tonight, John said “hey, do you want to go get some coffee?”
So we went to a local Starbucks, ordered two cups of coffee, and sat down to chat for a good hour or so. I love spontaneous moves like this.
We talked about our wedding … how many bridesmaids I’ll have … when [...]
Yvonne at work told me about her big discovery last night — her cat has been chewing her gum for years!
Yup! Her cat chews gum! And knows how to spit it out too!
She caught her in the act, and finally realized how those tiny chew marks on her gum wrapping paper were made, and how her [...]
