Trekking in Nepal

An acquaintance of mine went trekking in Nepal with a bunch of other school mates and i'm filled with so much travel envy. The meaning? Check this link.

Anyways, i'd like to share a couple of photos he shared on Facebook, photo credits go to Lenz and Leapions Media.

"After raining heavily in chhomrung, we checked in at the excellent view top and restaurant and was greeted by a full double rainbow across the sky. It was intense. We could see Annapurna south as the clouds cleared as well"

Japanese Sea Salt Cookies

Last week, i was working as a promoter for different Japanese confectioneries and this is one of my favourites! Crunchy and sweet yet salty :) Not bad~

Verdict: 2.5/5 (Cause it's easy to get sick of it after a couple bites)
Available at Four Seasons Gourmet Market @ Marina Bay Link Mall for $10 per box, limited period only

Mcdonald's Cinnamon Melts

A few nights ago, i finally decided to try McDonald's Cinnamon Rolls after eyeing the commercial for a very long time. But sadly, it's not to die for. 

What i ©:  That it looks mouthwatering-ly tasty and has a nice bittersweet savour as well as buttery aftertaste.

What i didn't like though, was that the whole pile of rolls were stuck strongly together, giving me great difficulty in picking just one to eat. Also, it was too hard to chew, only the top part of the rolls were soft enough to eat, as if the cream cheese incing hardened everything, it had this sort of feeling like when the crunchy biscuit you love was left in the open air for too long that by the time you took a bite, it was too soggy to chew. 

Rating:★★☆☆☆

Available in every McDonald's outlets for $2.60

Revenge

I love Revenge!!! I've been watching it since its first broadcast when i first saw the trailer as well as the short promo back during a school trip to Vietnam during March of 2012, it was airing in this channel called Starworld i think. The trailer had me curious as to what it was about and when i watched the first episode, i was gripped right from the beginning. So when i came back to Singapore, i loyally followed the show till its current season 2 and just can't wait for the next episode to air!!!!  The commercial said that they were about to drop a bombshell in the last freaking 5 minutes like WTF?? Do they expect us to wait patiently until the following episode comes? Oh well, we viewers can't really complain much since it's AN AWESOME SHOW!

(Revenge season 2 episode 16, referring to hunting for the tech genius, Falcon)

Coco!

Dad went to The Cocoa Trees today and bought us children some chocolates!!!! Woo hoo 멋진 아빠!! (i'm trying to say Dad's AWESOME!!)

I especially loove The Cocoa Trees not only because it's the only place i can find my fav chocolates (Reese's Peanut Butter Cups) but also because it's just simply a whole shop FILLED with chocolates :)

look at the 2 big bags here ^^  I know, who is that kid? That's my idiotic brother displaying his photobombing skills =_= 

I told him to move away but instead, he brought out his peace sign and started smiling at the camera

And here is my favourite chocolate in the whole wide world, Reese's Peanut butter cups!!! I don't really like to eat chocolates but with the peanut butter cups, i can eat them all day huhu :D

All the chocolates brought home~ There's more than these, packets, i'm just showing one of each~

and a special jar of nutella chocolate~~~ I gotta tell you, it's extremely big and heavy! even my model later couldn't hold it for long when i took his photo 

look at the big diff in weight!!

there you go, thats how big the jar is

and the receipt, a whopping S$192.10, thats why i said that i have the best dad in the world hehe.. Plus,  the big nutella jar was S$70 WOW!

Longing for Home

A house is a man's biggest investment, it is where one chooses to build a family, where most of our memories are formed..

For some, it is where dreams are slowly discovered, born or nurtured while for others, it is simply a temporary purchase, more a liability than asset

but still, a house is a place we grow up with, associating our memories with, like friends with schools, like dread with work office, like relaxation with the beach

we allocate different feelings to different locations because we'll never forget those moments that touched us and what better than to acquaint those feelings with than a destination?

thats why it's so very easy...

to feel so much for a certain place, to get attached to it
and feel that longing 

and that one crazy depression when we realise we will never get to see it again

Sue's (The Middle) Great Speech on 'The Smile'

Sue Heck had to research on a hypothesis in this episode so she went with 'Is Smiling Contagious,' and this is what she wrote at the end of the episode.

Is smiling contagious? After many attempts with multiple subjects including family, friends, or my lobster waitress and an unfriendly baby, i unfortunately, was unable to prove my hypothesis. However, like many scientists before me, i refuse to admit defeat. It took Einstein 10 years to prove E=Mc (square) and if it takes me that long to prove smiling is contagious then i am up for the challenge. For i believe there are some things that defy logic. 

Brick: No way! An iPad?? And it's the one from the fire?

Frankie: oh.. (looking at Mike) this is better than being a good parent *smiles*

French anotomist Duchenne wrote that joys are expressed by the face by contraction of the muscles but it can only be put in play by the sweet emotions of the soul.

Axl: I'm gonna miss you guys 
(referring to all 3 of them having to go their separate ways after high school)

Darrin: Okay, i'm just going to say it. I love you.

Sean and Axl: Augghh!

Axl: oh okay! Darrin just made it weird!

Darrin: I'm sorry, i'm very emotional right now *starts tearing up*

Axl: Dude come on man! *smiles and lightly punches each other*

And Duchenne, had a whole smile named after him! Think of the smiles over the years that have inspired a whole world to happiness, Mona Lisa's, Justin Bieber's.. some might laugh at me, i know, just as they laughed at John Burton. He was told in high school that he would never be a scientist, he just won the noble prize. I guess it just proves that being dismissed by people who think they know better, is not an obstacle to winning a noble prize. So i will continue with my research one smile at a time until i prove that smiling is contagious, cause i don't wanna live in a world where it isn't.
