2012 - le premier jour

Woke up very late today. Was surprised it was already 16:00 (our time).=_=" [in Paris should be around 09:00 in the morning] >_<

Well, let's see how I will wake up early tomorrow for work [UGH~! =/].

Did some of my laundry today, and went back to copyingXrotatingXsorting my photos. Now I am still on 2011.12.22 photos.T_T

Lol, and still clearing up my disk space because I couldn't transfer the rest of the photos.T_T

It is quite fun to go through them though! XD The last 10 days were the highlights of 2011. Was a great way to end the year.

Bonne année à tous! ^_^

Where should I travel to this year? [some places in mind are: Germany (should review my basic German!), Japan (TokyoXOsakaXother places!), the UK, --Hong Kong would be nice too, for a short trip. ---Haha, but let's see where I will end up this year. Hopefully anywhere but here.XD]

Trying out some layered winter ensemble..












Will be wearing this for when we go around Tokyo on the 25th. Spending Christmas in a super cool place.xD

Photography :: Church : 1

Some photos I took the other day, and plan to post on my photoblog.









Was a very beautiful day out! (Although I think it may have caused some minor headache after walking out in the sun for hours without any shade.xD)

Photos were taken with my Canon SX110is (reliable as it ever has been!xD).

Un petit momiji

Je l'ai vu dans un magasin, et je n'hesite pas de l'acheter~ ^_^



Il est disponible dans bcp de couleur, mais c'est ici qui me plait (trop!).

Avec mon psp:

Avec un octo gris-gris (--la que j'ai créé quelques mois derniers.:)



Peut-être je peux aussi créer un momiji gris-gris comme ça.:D

Downton Abbey

The craze is back! -- well, my craze for Downton Abbey is back.:D

Have finished downloading eight episodes a few days back, and have been watching since.:D

I am now on episode 6, so 2 more to go.=S

Have loved the series since it first came out (last year).xD Waited forever for the second installment.

The lovely music from the first season is still apparent, the setting is just as grand (with a few minor adjustments..because of the changes in the story).

My favourite character still has to be Mary [she is so calm, composed,and strong -- maybe everything I am not!].:D Edith is not as annoying as she used to be. Sybil has started to build more character this season.

Did not like Matthew before, but now he seems okay compared to Richard Carlisle!

Thomas the footman used to be such a bad guy, he still is, but not as evil as he used to be!... (I have yet to see two episodes though, so let's see how this all turns out!;P).>_<

--Rich in story, characters, everything. Great cast too.:P [and that thick British accent almost everywhere is just wonderful...^_^]

McD Food Straps

Finally got the food straps from McDonald's.:D

First wanted to get these when I was in Japan last year, but didn't.:D

And only now did it start becoming available for purchase here.;p





Lol. I think I will get a few more extras to keep.

Xiao Long Bao for dinner

Picked up some frozen xiao long bao from the supermarket.:D



Was told to put a layer of cabbage to prevent it from sticking.



Steamed it for about 30mins (I think less than 30mins would be okay, but considering it coming straight from the

freezer...heating it for a while longer would be safe.)



And this is how it looked after.:D



Don't expect it to be as good as the one in restaurants!:P

Considering how convenient this is to prepare, it's actually quite nice....^_^
