Deco at home for Christmas

Bread Lover......#1

The Main Menu

Honey ice-cream

 Egg Sandwish

Matcha Latte

A small cafe in Aberdeen Street which is famous for its Danish Bread. The Danish Bread there is really so yummy. It's crispy outside and soft inside. No wonder it's known as magical bread in Japan. Well, it does recall my memory in Kyoto.

Snapshot Randomly in Chengdu........#1

The most properous and crowded place in Chengdu. Shopping, eating and entertainment - all you can find around here.

Treasure before the business trip

I met two good friend on the same day just before the business trip and they gave me my favourite chocolate.

Thanks R for the Lindor & the little duck behind

Thanks Nat for the Royce chocolate cookies

To me, they are not only chocolate, but some kind of support. Thanks for giving me the strength! My dear.

Coco Chanel - Paris Shanghai A Fantasy

The trip that Coco Chanel only made in her dreams.

Julie and Julia "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"

Julia Child's story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first book.

How's a lovely Julia Child by Meryl Streep?

Lobster killer

Happiness could be simple, but might not easy to get.

Obsession with Panorama......#1

What's a magical function to create the panorama by just panning the camera? I really love it.

Outside Ocean Terminal

At Art Centre

Photoshop is needed to make this 360 degree picture in Fisherman's Wharf.

With Diana......#1

I forgot when this photo was  taken, maybe over a year?! This is an accident and I'm sure about that, but it's not bad as a trial.

All out of focus. I think it's a watercolor painting rather than a photo.

Who'd Have Known

It's a bit crazy and so weird that Elton John fit in this, but it's cool and funny.

My favourite Scone

Plain scone with basic and Simple ingredients only

Best match with Strawberry Rose Petal Jam

Temptation from The Mandarin

It's a luxurious taste, but I just can't refuse to it and it's needed sometimes.

Strength from Animals?

When the time I hardly know how to express my negative feeling, I hope these strong animals could give me some strength.

Carrot Cake......Take#1

Reference from allrecipes.com

I used a simple recipe to make my first homemade carrot cake. Without making the frosting and just leaving it plain, it is not bad indeed, but surely can be much better. I gotta make again later.

Notes about Hyacinthus #2

In the following days......

The Hyacinth, with the bell-shaped white flower represents loveliness and indicates in a way that I'll pray for you.

Sunflower bloom in Autumn

After almost three months, the sunflower bloom in my garden.

Sunflowers always turn to the sun and their open faces symbolize the sun itself, conveying warmth and happiness, adoration and longevity.

Notes about Hyacinthus #1

One morning after two weeks, it becomes a mini green corn.

When Watercolor meets Chinese Ink on Japanese paper

There are some fast demonstration by my teacher in class, i think he probably spent around 5-10 minutes for each piece.

I got this piece from the teacher. Without any extra, leaving only the simple color, outline and background. It's really nice and I like it so much.

Different vivid color was used in this picture, showing the high contrast effect.

Distant objects usually look blur, no matter in this picture or in reality.

The purple corn makes something different.

Green is not commonly used as a background color as the teacher told us, but he showed us how it would be. I think it's really not bad and quite fresh indeed.

Mickey Never Grows Old

Mickey is surely older than me and most of you, but the truth is......

How many images can Mickey have?......unlimited

Mickey is everywhere and may appears in any unexpected form. Yet to activate your imagination.

He never grows old.

Coffee Lover #1

I enjoy having coffee time during the weekend. Crema, located in an inconspicuous back street, is one of my favourite cafe in Hong Kong.

With the latte art, intense aroma and smooth foam, I probably can't say no.

Ten sentences starting with I

1. 
   I was born in Hong Kong and growing up there. Am I a typical Hongkonger?
2. 
   I like beautiful things but they can be virtually ugly in appearance.
3. 
   I probably have too many things that I can do, but sometimes I feel sluggish on that.
4. 
   I am a pisces gal. Understanding is me; Concerning is me; Imaginative is me; Sentimental and Emotional is me too.
5. 
   I enjoy driving around, but too bad that I always lose my bearings on road.
6. 
   I like sports quite much and I am really not that bad on it as you may think. So you better don't be cheated by my little body and little face.
7. 
   I have a messy garden. Planting more flowers, herbs, vedgie there and making it looks better are what I want to do.
8. 
   I think my life should have more ups and downs, so I can learn more and it will be much more meaningful.
9. 
   I am a monkey who love silent and crowd, more silent and less crowd, more and more.......
10. 
    I am a little bit too shy, a little bit too lazy, a little bit too slow, a little bit too late, a little bit too silly and sometimes a little bit too...funny
