"Orange Julius is a chain of fruit drink beverage stores that has been in the business since the late 1920s.” Thank you Wikipedia for improving my general knowledge almost every single day! As a kid, I used to see Orange Julius in a lot of malls but I never got a chance to try it back then. I guess, I never…

Four Ingredients Sweet Potato Dessert

September 24, 2014

Have you read about a study that people with a "sweet tooth" are supposed to have sweeter dispositions? Apparently, those who like sweet stuffs are known to be more compassionate, friendly and cooperative. So what does that mean? It means, it is time to grab a bowl of dessert! It would obviously be fab if the dessert uses only four ingredients. Yes,…

Corned Beef Potatoes and Eggs

September 18, 2014

Don’t judge a book by its cover people. The pictures in this post aren't very pretty, but how many times have our mamma's taught us that it is more important to be beautiful on the inside, than the outside? The wise Paulo Coelho once said, “We can never judge the lives of others, because every person knows only their own pain and renunciation”. True that! Only…

Oh lawwwwd, it’s Monday again?? Great, so now I have to wait for another million years before Friday comes again.

Banana Raspberry Avocado Smoothie

Why are certain things so delicious yet expensive? I am snacking on Macadamia nuts and I can go on and on and on. The only problem would be 150g baked macadamia = $9 Let’s say if I go reallllllly slow, this packet can last for 30 minutes. Minus 8 hours of sleep (ya, right) 2 hours of doing general stuffs.

Barbecued Garlic And Chilli Prawns

For the past 1 hour, I have been listening to "heart attack", "I love you like a long song" and "love story". Why am I susceptible to the music of teen girls? I blame this on my 14 years old niece. She has been continuously singing these kinda songs to her young-at-heart-aunt. If listening to Justin Bieber would make me…
