Side effects of seminars

Some people love and hate attending seminars. To them, seminars arelike sleeping pills. They make you doze off. But the lovely thing aboutit is, you get to eat and drink every 2 hours. I even have friends whopick which seminars they want to attend based on the venue. Why? toenjoy food they don't usually get to enjoy if they were to pay for itthemselves. Of course i don't do that la. I attend based on my needsand wants to gain knowledge... such good employee right? hehe....Seriously, I should berewarded the employee of the company just for that. And not only that,ieven tried to save money on airfare for my employer. Initially, my colleague booked a flight which was $300 more expensive than the fares of a newly established airline. I told her to book the cheaper one and ended upwaiting in the airport for 6 hours as theplane was facing some technical issues T_____T

Upon checked in. I was given a McD voucher as compensation. How cheapam i? T____T

McD to compensate for my precious time lost 

by the time we boarded the plane, i was hungry again

Anyway, the side effect of seminars? my stomach growls at me that it is hungry every 2 hours nowadays T____T so i eat and eat andeat to shut my stomach up and end up gaining weight  T______T 

I know I could control myself not to eatso much during seminars but how could i say no to them when they wereso fresh, soyummy, so many varieties to choose from? Sigh, there is a saying "ifyou can't beat them, join them' and that is exactly what i did..... *growing sideways*

Fresh sashimi and veggies were my fav!

It's OK lah.. I can always go on a diet after that... the problem is, i say that everyday >_< haha...

I'm a food addict

Then I figured out the real reason why i cannot lose weight! Thank goodness for solving the x-files! *堕落* 

ta-da~

I love my stars....

I have a thing for stars since young. When I was small, I would sit outside and try to count the number of stars in the dark sky. They twinkled like Christmas lights and it felt serene and made me happy inside. 

Sometimes I imagined myself floating in the galaxy accompanied by stars. Then I collected them into my little pouch and my pouch glowed brighter and brighter as I collected more and more. I heard that the real stars are not star-shaped like, is that true? Awww.. what we've imagined is more beautiful than reality! That's why it is important to have good imagination! :P

I missed my family and friends when I lived overseas. I remember looking up in the sky and thought to myself that I maybe far from my homeland and away from my loved ones, but the sky keeps us close together because everyday we "share" the same sky, the same sun, the same moon and the same stars. Then I would feel less homesick. Haha, the power of own thoughts!

The other night i went to Kch Food Fair with my friend. There were hundreds of food stalls in one area but strangely I didn't find anything interesting to eat @_@ Everyone seemed to have something in their hands. Even my friend had already swallowed one pork burger, a beef pie and a can of green tea and i was still empty-handed and stomached! How could this be?!  Just when I was about to give in and just grabbed anything to eat, I got attracted by these...

Assorted cakes in porcelain cups!

Aren't they cute?

They looked so cute! And there were so many different sizes, shapes, flavours, designs, colours....!

I stood there for a while coz i was carefully examining each and every cakes. There were chocolate mousse, cheesecake, choc fudge, Japanese cake, butter cake..... Then I saw IT and immediately bought it. It was love at first sight! hehe...

It was a chocolate mousse in the cup with lots of colourful stars on top! It is Galaxy (银河) in a cup, just many times smaller :P

What do stars taste like?

One spoonful of galaxy and stars!

Wow, I didn't know that Galaxy actually tastes like chocolate! hehe...

Haha, am a sucker for stars. The stall owner made 6 bucks from me just because she sprinkled some stars on top. hahaha, that's easy money from me! haha... The choc mousse didn't taste so bad. And best of all, i got to keep the cup too which I sometimes use to drink coffee and tea :P

Coffee & tea

So I guess u can say, value for money? haha...

我愛雨天~

傍晚時份突然下起大雨。

泡了一杯有茉莉花香味的普洱茶，站在窗口邊喝邊看雨景。啊，我好喜歡這種感覺~ 下雨天，少了車聲人聲，彷彿世界只有我一人。好安寧！

雨天的風景特別的美。人家都說矇矓的西湖最美，大概就是這個意思吧？

在黑暗的雨中，我看著遠方那戶人家的黃色燈光，心裡突然覺得很暖暖的。我幻想，住在屋裡的人泡了一杯熱巧克力，窩在電視機前看自己喜愛的節目，還有一隻懶洋洋的貓咪躺在她的懷裡睡午覺。呵呵，這好像是我自己理想的傍晚耶~ 我不小心把内心的 OS说出来了，哈哈~

我特別喜歡晚上時間下雨，感覺世界比較和平了。下雨天打戰，多麻煩呀！

聽著滴滴噠噠的雨水聲，煩惱也自動少了一半，不知不覺讓人放鬆下來。滴滴噠噠的雨水聲給了我莫明的安全感~

滴滴噠噠的雨天最適合窩在自己的床上看一本好書，聽好聽的音樂，和家人好友聊聊天或發發呆......

還有還有，我最喜歡在滴滴噠噠的雨天裡吃咖哩。心裡暖呼呼的！

哈哈，最後那一句好殺風景！我怎麼那麼不懂詩情畫意啊？:P

My food philosophy

Sometimes i wonder, what would happen to the fridge at home if I didn't exist. 

If i didn't exist, food would overflowed from the fridge and mum would probably need to buy many more fridges to keep her creations. Oooo hooo hoo, for the first time, I feel really important! hehe...

My mum is a good cook. And she loves to cook a lot. when i say a lot, it means A LOT!

My mum stayed in Perth for a month not long ago. She stayed with my eldest sister who emailed me to tell me that she felt like her stomach was going to explode because of the amount of food my mum cooked everyday. Not only that, her fridge was exploding too because she kept a lot of leftovers inside. That's the way my mum showed her love. She worries that the kids don't have enough to eat. 

My eldest sister asked me how I 'manage' it everyday. hehe, simple, just finish what mum makes on the same day. That's my philosophy -  "今日事, 今日毕" ("Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today."). Otherwise, more food will come the next day and i will never be able to finish everything. It's just like our everyday work. if we don't finish it today, things will  pile up and we will end up with lots of backlogs! Aren't I wise? hehe

Every morning, i find big portion of breakfast waiting for me in the kitchen. I know, i am a lucky kid to have such lovely home cooked meals everyday! And it's sinful to waste mum's love so i eat everything in the morning and sometimes have to split them into breakfast and lunch because my 4 stomaches are already filled up. Sometimes my colleagues and friends think I am on diet (or probably i'm cheapskate for skipping lunch to save money) coz every time we go out for lunch, I only have drinks. The truth is, i already have a hearty meal before that. Drinks is sort of like my 'dessert' hehe...

In case you are curious, here is what my one week's breakfast (& lunch) looks like:

Day 1: chicken thigh, egg, veggie, noodles, 

cheese muffin, yoghurt, passion fruit;

I had to use 2 containers to bring everything

Day 2: Home made BBQ pork, veggie, 

flat noodles, scallop & white raddish soup

Day 3: fried rice, 2 slices of pizzas, 2 sweet corns, 2 bananas

Day 4: Fried Rice, curry chicken, bananas

Day 5: Fried noodles & Pumpkin (my fav!)

So, the next time u see me not eating, u will know that i'm practising my 今日事今日毕 principle :P

Come to think of it, my real challenge is how not to get fat  T______T
