Food & Wine

Remember the 2008 summer when we were too poor to eat out but still desired to have good meal every night. Do it ourselves was the prefect solution. We enjoyed the moment to prepare the 3-main-course at her kitchen, which has beautiful sea view. At that time, we considered preparing a great meal is a way to de-stress.

The habit stopped when I don't think it will be appreciated. Yesterday, friend was excited and putting effort to prepare for a great (and expensive) meal. Even though you have to spend hours to prepare one meal, which only require 20 minutes to finish it. The satisfaction could not be replaced. 

The poached pear was the perfect ending for the night. Definitely want to do it again. Hmm... X'mas eve dinner?

From June to Sept, 2010

Nearly five months I didn't update my blog...

Travel

No surprise, I have been traveling every month I went to Jakarta, Bali, London, Amsterdam and Barcelona. Jon (Spain), Zoe and Will (NZ) visited Malaysia and spent good amount of time travel around Malaysia with them. Europe trip was the highlight of my year. I fall in love with London city (I want to live there), met up with Nick in Amsterdam (have an EPIC time) and finally I went to Barcelona (it is like a dream come true).

On the last day of two-week-Europe trip, I decided not to complete my plan for 2010 - one trip every month. May be I want a perfect ending of this plan, may be I was tired, may be I have enough, may be it is time to live in reality. I am not giving up on passion of traveling (it is impossible) but is trying another way.

Life
I moved out from home in September after months of planning. I feel alive again when I start taking care of myself. There are some minor changes in the relationship between me and family & friends but it is a good change. I enjoy very much being the Independent-Yi again! 

Three more days, I will turn 25. I have been living in this world for half of the century, it is time for another change.
