Japanese Chocolates

Chocolates!

Switzerland, Belgium and even Italy make them with perfection. But when comes to novelties and varieties, I am dare to say no one could beats the Japanese!

Last I heard, Lotte (a Japanese confectionery snack company) has collaborated with a famous ramen shop, Menya Bukura to create a limited edition ‘Miso Ghana 2013’. 

And yes, you’ve guessed it right, that’s chocolate with ramen!

The name ‘Miso Ghana’ is actually derived from the usage of white Miso broth and Ghana is, of course the chocolate bar pieces on to top of the ramen!

I am already drooling by just by imagining the chocolate melting into the hot soup. Will any ramen house be adventurous enough to cook up a Singapore version of Choco-Miso-Ramen any soon? I will be first in the game to try.  

Meanwhile, I will have to be contented with my occasional bits and pieces of chocolate from Japan.

Came back with yet another set of identical basic in different colors. That’s my sick habit of buying clothes with the same design in different colors but last time was even worst, I buy them in same color, one to wear and another to keep 😦

A new beginning..

Yaw Shin Leong says sorry to Hougang voters

An apology that comes a little too late? Or is it? Mr Yaw Shin Leong.

Bravo!

 

After four years in a desperate state of struggling between surviving and dying, my orchid suddenly blossom again! Isn’t it amazing how nature work and how strong a single plant can be?

Hello Orchid, welcome to the world.  Your strong will of survival  have inspired me!

 

 

Happy Valentine’s Day

At 13, I lived in the fantasy of Mills & Boon and have had my fair share of crushes and puppy love. 

At 15, I started reading William Shakespeare but was puzzled by the complications of love.

At 17, I came across a quotation: “When Love is Concern, too Much is Not even enough” and I questioned on the greediness. 

Then at 18, Cupid struck and I was crazy in love. But then, what is LOVE?

It is only after braving through many barriers and obstacles and years later, that I found the true meaning of love. 

Love is..the Pillar that supports one and another;

Love is.. the Courage that breaks barriers:

Love is..the Strength keeps the relationship going;

Love is..the Commitment that binds two individuals as one:

and Love simply is..being for another.

At this special day, I wish everyone to be in love and be loved forever.

♥Happy Valentine’s Day!♥
