Around the workplace....................(1)

每天周日的早晨，走过熟悉的草地，食堂。

遇到在一起多年的同事们，打个招呼： ”早安！”

一天的工作开始了。

美丽的校园， 宏伟的建筑，绿油油的树木， 青翠整齐的草地，偶尔看得见一两只活泼的松鼠，这就是我工作的地方-我的第二个‘家’。。。

Every morning, as I step out of the car, I see beautiful trees and plants, lush greenery, neat, clean paths and corridors sometimes adorned with season's decorations, advertisement notes and campaign posters. I see tall majestic buildings, each representing a different sector of the vast expertise we have accumulated around here. I see familiar people, in the canteen, along the corridor, some having breakfast, some having short chats before resuming their walk.

I see little insects around the bushes, I see squirrels bouncing off tree branches, I see the beautiful Koi fish swimming leisurely in the ponds..... I see my shadow in the glasses and walls of the buildings as I continue my journey.

Welcome, everyone, to 'my second home'...

Sesame Mochi

Made another batch of Mochi, this time I added lavendar flower and sesame seeds to the Mochi skin and used sesame filling, as it is an all-time favourite.

Mochi Mochi I love you.....

Mochi......mochi....... so cute, so chewy. The little sticky rice ball stuffed with sweet fillings, wrapped in pastel coloured wrappers and adorned with cutesy facial expressions.... makes one go "awww..... soooo cute!" 

Around the neighbourhood.......... Flowers (1)

I don't know the name of these trees, but now and then, they bloom the most beautiful pink flowers, so much so that I imagine I am looking at a Cherry Blossom tree.

Breakfast Ideas.......(2) Pancakes and Waffles

We woke up early on a Saturday morning, meaning to "attack" one of the cafes at JEM (Jurong East Mall) for some luxurious breakfast. Arrived at one of the branded cafes, looked at the menu.... hmm, ok, so the 'ultimate' breakfast set looked good, can be shared by 2. But then, the boy saw something else... Waffles, he said: "I want waffles....." I looked at him, thinking hard. Not a second later, the girl said: "Can we have these Pancakes?" I looked at the price, I looked at them. "You don't want to share the big breakfast set?" "Waffles.......", "Pancakes...... " I looked at the price, and I looked at them..... "we'll go somewhere else today...... let's go get the ready-to-bake whatever you want at NTUC later", they both looked at me: "Mommy.!!!! please.............". 

"No. We'll get somethings else for breakfast". And so ended the "tug-of-war".

As promised, after a hearty breakfast at ToastBox, we had fun grocery-shopping and they got what they wanted....
