The Pig of Happiness.

(: The brilliant Edward Monkton.

A small act can change the whole world!!

Fascinating.

Random but I cannot help it.

I write like

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Biggest praise I've ever gotten when it comes to my stories. :D

Flowers from the past.

I found better pictures of my flowers!! :D

Dusk.

Taken by me.

Took this by the window, had to hold my breath so the image would look sharp. :D

It rained quite a bit today so it was pretty foggy outside. Reminded me of Britain.

Oh I wish I am in Britain.

Orange French Toast!

YUMS.

Once again Nigella didn't disappoint me. :D Really yummy.

I thought it would be really easy and would definitely not make a mess. Unfortunately, I overestimate my cooking ability. :D Apparently, butter can get really hot.

Thankfully, it turned out well. My mom liked it. (:

RECIPE!
2 eggs
grated zest of 1 orange
60ml full-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large, thick slices white bread or 4 smaller slices
juice of 1 orange
75g fine-cut marmalade, such as Tiptree “crystal”
50g caster sugar
1 x 15ml tablespoon butter

1. Whisk the eggs, orange zest, milk and ground cinnamon in a wide shallow dish.
2. Soak the bread slices in this mixture for 2 minutes a side.
3. While the eggy bread is soaking, bring the orange juice, marmalade and sugar to the boil in a saucepan, then turn down the heat to a fast simmer for 3–4 minutes. If you need to, let this syrup stand while you cook the bread.
4. Heat the butter in a heavy-based frying pan and cook the eggy bread for about 2 minutes a side over a medium heat until golden.
5. Serve the French toast with some of the amber syrup poured over each slice, and a jug of extra syrup on the side.

Fairtrade.

I was shopping in the grocery store when I stumbled upon this:

Look! A Fairtrade product!

What Fairtrade mean:

"Fairtrade offers producers a better deal and improved terms of trade. This allows them the opportunity to improve their lives and plan for their future. Fairtrade offers consumers a powerful way to reduce poverty through their every day shopping."

(taken from FLO)

Isn't that just brilliant? It is so wonderful to know that whatever you are eating is not a product that contributes to poverty due to big corporate company bullying.

Butter biscuit with a dark chocolate layer. (:

Besides, it is pretty yummy and very addictive. Although the dark chocolate is only about 40%, it is not overly sweet. The smooth dark chocolate went so well with the layer of grainy, wheat butter biscuit. I do wish that the biscuit is a bit less thick, though.

Anyway, eradicating poverty does not have to be a big step. We can all contribute and start off with something small like getting products that only has the Fairtrade mark. (:

Robots.

Sorry for the really late update. Been awfully busy. :\

It is all over now though and I will like to introduce you to...

THE DAILY ROBOT.

Images from The Daily Robot.

I know it is geeky but I can't help it. They are too gorgeous to ignore.

What I really find interesting is how some of the drawings have sort of a dystopia and apocalyptic or even a post-apocalptic feel to it. It is more than just a doodle or a simple drawing drawn by Miles Donovan, owner of the blog.

By the way, they have a tumblr website too. (:
