Food for Thought Abroad

I wish I was going on a holiday again, after last year trip to the U.K., this time we are planning to go either Hong Kong or Taiwan. I would prefer Taiwan as I have never been there before. Well, we will just have to wait and see. Anyway, I would like to share some of the food that we tried while in the U.K. last year, we encountered an international type of cuisine all around us, not only English. Thus, in the pictures we have tried, Vietnamese, Indian and Arabic meal, all deliciously prepared.

Aline Beautiful Piano Music

Sometime I like to listen to instrumental music. The one I am most familiar with and still a firm favourite of mine is ‘Aline’ by Richard Clayderman, but there is a French version of the song sung by Christopher. It is a sad song, but the music is beautiful and like me it can get stuck in your head anytime of the day , which can be quite daunting at times. Please click the YouTube link below to hear my favourite song and piano music.

My Favourite Food

These are some of my favourite food for breakfast and lunch. I like to have a full breakfast in the morning so that my hunger pang can be satisfied. I usually will have only light lunches and my tea time will be around 3 pm. I like to have a small piece of cake, maybe once or twice a week.My favourite are butter and chocolate cakes, but it varies with my mood and craving.

Painted Giant Bottles

Here are some art form I have observed that had caught my attention while visiting the various shopping malls in my area. These colourful painted giant bottles  look nice and beautiful. It reminds me of painting all the used bottles that I had and which I had collected. I only collect bottles that were attractive in shape and size. Here are the painted giant bottles that I had come across.

Crochet,My Work

I was discussing crafts with my friend Lucy when we nonchalantly talk about crochet, then I recalled that when I was in Nursing Training College I had done a few crochet pieces. I called up my sister and asked her to check it out, where it has gone to and luckily she told me my mom kept it. She recently bought all of it to me and I was very happy to be able to see what I can accomplish at that age, even more now that I can enjoy using it to decorate my house.

This type of crochet is called ‘Filet Crochet’ an old technique, which is popular in the late nineteenth century. It is still popular in countries like Holland, France and Germany. It is used to make curtains, tablecloths and decorative edges.

Here are some of my pieces;
