糖心蛋/温泉蛋

温泉卵が大好き！
美味しいです！:)

LOVES.

update (280614):

Tried cooking the onsen tamago again & changed a few variables. 

1) Room temperature eggs (in the last round, eggs were taken out from refrigerator, and thawed for at least 20 minutes before cooking)

2) Timing of second boil

And the results .... 

The one on the left is quite flimsy after removing the shell..

Ta-daaa~ :)

Apparently, it seems as long as the egg thawed till room temperature, it doesn't affect the outcome very much. What matters is the precise timing of the second boil.
Though, there were very very minute difference in the firmness of the egg whites - the egg white appeared to be more firm after the eggs have been frozen and thawed. This time round, both eggs were at the risk of falling apart while I was removing the egg shell.

Looks authentic enough!
Hard egg white, and slightly mushy egg yolks (though the exterior of the egg yolk looked more cooked)!

Next time I will yet again change another important variable - the room temperature/cold water that was added in before second boil. Till then!

Happy ruiZ~ :)

嚟幾日，我終於睇晒《溏心風暴之家好月圓》剩餘嘅二十幾回。睇黎個片，真係好唔易，辛苦透！黎排我邊執嘢邊睇架，因為佢嘅劇情其實太催淚、心酸，點有咁多問題？煩死人！人真係咁衰？死性不改？每次睇晒一回就心情好好差，每一回一定有壞事發生，真係冇一次係睇完有好心情嘅。就咁，我放低黎片幾耐啦。
好彩我依家識得聽少少粵語， 唔係就唔得咁做。唔似我睇動漫，一定要盯住各個螢幕、字幕睇，唔係就唔知講乜。
一切好。勿被各滴‘貪’字蒙蔽咗。

加油

你咁check法係冇意思嘅。
冇睇了。冇啦！唔會有架。
乜都係自己，係埋？
羅翻轉頭各個時辰過咗啦……

依家只留低繼續拼搏下去！
勿再鉆牛角尖！

未來黎講唔算遲。

Dilemma.

Okay.

I admit I'm excited and looking forward to sending it out.

But on the other hand, I suppose I'll be receiving a crisp instant reply. Nothing more, nothing less. I need to brace myself.

The moment will tell.

Afternote 21/6:
I can't believe it. Awesome. Felt like the old days and everything's back to normal.
My excitedness paid off! :D
There, that question.. oh man. How should I view it???? Then the ending note. Which is the real thing?
Well, how brave can one be. / be?

Hand sewn pouch. =)

 

Just finished sewing this mini pouch. =)

Nothing fanciful, completely hand sewn, took me about maximum 3 hours I guess?

Next time, if I have more time on hand, I would have stitched some designs on the bag. Maybe I will do that when I am feeling in need of therapeutic crafts. Haha. #crafts #therapeutic #DIY

Why am I doing this when I can simply buy such pouches at 5 bucks? 

I'm tired of buying mini pouches like this time after time, and searching for designs/materials I liked. I am tired of being disappointed at how sturdy a certain material is. There were times where I have bought at least 2 pouches in the span of 6 months (and at least 5 pouches throughout the years I've worked). So I decided to DIY and reuse material from an old faded jeans jacket (hopefully the material last), and the zip from that bag which tore. I used about half a spool of thread, the remaining spool is what you see in the above photo.  

Well, the pouch turned out better than I thought. I hope my rough workmanship can last, hurhur.

Perhaps the next to venture is to master a sewing machine and do my own clothes and bag, haha!

The thing about growing up…

…is that all the mail you received in your mailbox after a few days' vacation are bills. -.-

《再世情缘》插曲《英雄的黎明》

One of my all-time favourite drama (based on a real life story) and OST.
Fell in love with the drama and OST ever since I first watched it at least 15 years ago.

 

Not forgetting the theme songs 依然记得你眼里的依恋（万芳）、《猜心》（万芳——张宇作曲）are my favourites too.

又是那種感覺。

怎麽,會有人如此默默在關懷著你的感覺？

我說過，他是一位感覺像“老爸”的人…一位我打從心裏，深信不移的一個人，一個久久不相見，但卻適時給予我勸告的人？
我覺得任何一個能夠讓我稱之為“像老爸”的人，在我心中肯定有個了不起的位置。
我也說不通這種感覺。說是要好，不見得特別特別要好。說是陌生，也不見得生疏。一種若即若離的感覺。但是只要碰面，就一定會有一種親近的感覺，可謂毫無保留地分享天地下任何事情。就連他說的話，基本上，我都有“照做”。不是聽不聽話的層次，而是我由衷地信任著他分享和說的事情。

你能夠如此毫無原因、毫無保留完完全全相信一個人嗎？
