Butter toast, coffee.

No one caught my niece nibbling the whole loaf of bread this morning till late, thus, almost every slice was broken –.–

A blurb book i printed last year for myself and a friend after my Shanghai trip... AND i’m going again this coming April/May, this time round for two weeks! Woohoo!

favourite noodle

Fried glass noodle with shredded chicken, carrot, vegetable, mushroom & black fungus, pomelo, coffee.

tuna feast

Spicy tuna on noodle and toast, mandarin orange, camomile tea.

Well, not exactly a feast, but recently i have been eating a lot of tuna especially this spicy type in cans. It’s so good!

._.

Butter toast, egg with button mushroom & tomato, apple, coffee.

Currently thinking seriously of getting a GF1. Anyone wants to take over my LX3?

Croissant, coffee.

Client wants to decorate his walls with images of Beatles and Jimi Hendrix and it’s a lot of illustration to do! Looking for reference now, big headache.

lunch doubled as break

Double cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, coffee.

The nuggets are for sharing of course :-)

lavendar

Tomato & chilli tuna (leftover from yesterday’s) toast, mango pudding with nata de coco, camomile tea.

Having a bit of headache now, i hope i am not falling sick again! Currently, there are four projects going on at the same time, can’t afford to be ill :-(

sweet

Tomato & chilli tuna toast, sweet mandarin orange, coffee.

addiction

Instant noodle with lots of mushroom and an egg, grapes.

Instant noodle is very addictive. Recently, i’ve been eating too often :-p

And just in case you were wondering, the concert last night was awesome!

cny

Pineapple tarts, mandarin orange, coffee.

After MIA for about a week, i’m back with the spirits of Chinese New Year! The past week had been rather busy – spring cleaning (umm... i seldom do housework, so can’t really claim credit for that, but i did clean up my desktop and all my backup files are up-to-date now :-p), meeting clients, planning and tidying up some work before the long weekends etc., thus, was hardly at home.

Although i’m still recovering from flu and sore throat and haven’t had the chance to enjoy cny goodies (in fact, i only had my first pineapple tart today), but it has been a great new year so far. PLUS i’ve got complimentary ticket to Stef’s concert at Resorts World later! So excited! :-D

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Gong xi gong xi!

updating

Steam chicken and pork bun, coffee.

In the process of updating my portfolio. It’s going to take a while to complete because i’ll be changing the look (as well as the software that it was first started). This set of portfolio was first done in 2005 or 2006 and updated a few times till the end of 2008. It’s really time to change!

too full

Noodle with shrimps, chicken, eggs, beansprout, carrot and cabbage, hot honey drink.

Couldn’t agree more!

again

Honey baked ham, lettuce & tomato sandwich, coffee.

i’m going Shanghai again this coming April/May. Initially the plan was to go Tibet on the same trip, but it takes about two days by train from Shanghai (travel by train has more time to acclimatise to the high altitude, not to mention the great mountain scenery it offers). i thought it will be a bit rush to squeeze the two places into 13 days. So the plan now is to visit Shanghai and nearby areas and save Tibet for next time.

as long as it’s yummy

Virginia ham, tomato & lettuce sandwich, mango mousse & sponge cake, coffee.

i wanted to show what’s inside the sandwich, but ended up looking ugly. Well, i guess it’s fine as long as it’s yummy :-)

honey baked

Honey baked ham & lettuce on whole meal bread, guava, coffee.

another one comes along

Toast with blueberry jam, coffee.

Current browse: Wallpaper Magazine

i used to buy every issue but only occasionally now (my neighbour who owns a mama shop gives me good discount :-)) Only starting to browse, will update if there’s anything interesting in this Design Awards 2010 issue. Few years ago, i’ve switched to other magazine subscriptions like EYE – my favourite design magazine.

* The photo turned out ‘noised’ as i didn’t realise my camera is set to ‘night portrait mode’.

** Just when i thought i am going to be a bummer till after Chinese New Year, another new work contact came along. i’m going to take a new brief on Monday, keeping my fingers cross :-)

for four

Plain yogurt with honey, raisin, almond nuts and walnuts.

All of us don’t really like this brand of yogurt, especially my niece. She refused to eat after the first taste. The nuts are really good though, from 饼屋, the biscuit stall at Tiong Bahru Market. i prefer to buy loose packed nuts so i can mix and match the ones i like. They have a good variety of choices there, don’t forget to drop by the next time if you happen to be in the area :-)

more triangles

Melted cheese toast, walnut, coffee.

Spicy tuna toast, coffee.

And someone insisted to have hers pictured too – disfigured peanut-strawberry jam pooh-bread.
