Life as I Picture It
A hearty conversation, a bar of milk chocolate, a jar of assorted cookies, an adorably decorated room, a good book, a romantic movie, a charming companion, a peaceful solitude, a shopping spree, a warm cozy day...a thousand little moments and things that make up a life...my life

Phone Camera Snapshots
Early morning sunlight and a view of mostly Hall 14 from my room. This is what I get when I look out from the window.

Taken on a misty, quiet, and serene Sunday morning from the block where I currently stay (Hall 13). Far in the distance in the first picture is NIE complex.
::23 April 2009
Taken from somewhere along the long stretch of Nanyang Avenue using my camera phone. I was walking to SSC (Student Services Centre) from SRC (Sports & Recreation Centre) when I realized that there were these views I never really noticed before. The altitude was quite high so I could see quite a lot of things up here. I even spotted Jurong Island! It seemed that it was only a few walking distance from NTU.

Bakerzin for Desserts!
::Dessert Tapas
Selection of 3 tapas $9.80
Banana Pizza with Cinnamon Ice Cream. Flaky puff topped with melted cheese and banana slices.

Vanilla Creme Brulee and Caramel Panna Cotta. Good but nothing special.

::Chocolate Souffle ($10.80). It doesn't have anything to do with the souffle that I ate today, but eating souffle somehow always reminds me of a quote from Marian Keyes' Anybody Out There: "Like a soufflé, a successful goodbye can really only be done once. A goodbye can’t be reheated. "

::Steamer with Rose Buds - Choice of Hazelnut ($5.80)
