Mango Napoleon Cake

Prefer the Napoleon without the sponge cake, but this one is also nice.

A Day On The Beach

Finally went to the beach and got some sun......burnt. By spending the Saturday afternoon under the cloudless sky, with a sip of Carlsberg, what more you can ask for.

Twenty Minutes

In a small tea shop located in the hallway of a shopping mall, no background music, no coffee aroma, no big sofa. Just two coffee, two chairs, a table and a magazine. For that little twenty minutes, you just sit there comfortably and engaged in casual conversation occasionally. You don't have to fight for words to fill the silence. Everything goes so natural.

How often do you have these twenty minutes?

My Mum

When I was in kindergarten, I would like to have a mum who would allow me to have long hair so I could wear a pony tail to school; who could read me interesting bedtime stories instead of just reading the words straight from the book and who was more patient like my uncle's wife.

For the past twenty years, I have seen her crying, shouting, cursing, fighting, throwing things & breaking down, all these images of hers still haunt me sometimes. But I have also felt her strength in protecting us, love for the family, energy in taking care of everything, determination to sustain the family, power to defend attack & enthusiasm in learning.

I have witnessed her change from a self-pitied person to a cheerful woman. Now I no longer envy other people's elegant mothers, I feel so proud of my mother just as she is.
