We had a good time

so fun spending time feasting,drinking and laughing with good pals.when we share food,we also create good memories.i love cooking for get -

together

Get together

who can keep their bff after 45 years.we did.just celebrated LCs birthday with home baked lemon yoghurt cake,avocado tarts,pumpkin tarts,pie tee and laksa,nasi kunyit,local fruit and a bottle of red wine.i feel

so relaxed n tipsy tonite.cheers.gonna go phoebes house next weekend to swim in her private swimming pool,away from prying eyes of voyeurs.thats something to look forward to.

Birthday cake for friend

for dinner i had steamed wholemeal pumpkin mantou ,a barbeque sauce chicken drumstick ans some pickled acar.what a fusion of chinese,western n nyonya food. its midnite,spent the nite baking avocado tart and a French lemon yoghurt birthday cake for a special friend.sooo tired,i put it in fridge and decorate the cake tomorrow.

Exercise buddies.fit

A hong kong start up has set up a digital platform for wellness enthusiasts aged over 50.thats a good idea as it offers tutorials on stretching,resistance training,tai chi,diet and nutrition ,weight maintenance,myofascial relaxation.i would feel a need to have exercise buddy to motivate me when i slacken in my workout or overexert myself doing the wrong training. i would incorporate mental health aspects like singing in chorus or art therapy.a lot of senior citizens stay alone if they are not married or some are childless.so isolation and loneliness make them fall prey to depression.social bonds with the community helps them add zeal to live.the japanese elderly are active and have good ikigai so other nations should learn from their govt on how to care for aging population. for asians,the silver hair population is not regarded as invisible in society but still make vital contributions in voluntary work or taking care of left behind grandkids.but we should also let them have their own independent life so that they lead healthy and fulfilled lives

Dine out at the mall

went to mall to trim hair and dine out at taiwanese cafe.good to see people dining out at restaurants and food n beverage business is picking up as people enjoy eating out instead of home delivery all the time.the ambience dining out is more relaxing.hope the business revives as heart breaking to see hotels ,tourism n food n beverage affected by lockdowns.

Proverb

there is a chinese proverb that showcase perseverance and patience when faced with turmoil in life. if you can tolerate for a while,your heart will soon be at peace and the turbulent waves will settle down, if you can just take a step back,you will be able to see the vast sea and open sky.

Plant based milk

switched over to plant based milk.lucky jun sponsors my health food like the imported thai processed soy and nut milk called 137 degrees.im a fussy consumer but my verdict is their pistachio,walnut,almond and soy milk is the best ive tasted.its sugar free ,gluten free n uses organic coconut flower nectar for the pistachio milk.my special treat by jun so i go healthy n lactose free.yummy
