Waffle on Sandwich Machine?!

Chauses always likes waffle but she doesn't have a waffle machine...on this precious holiday - Sunday she decided to make waffle on her sandwich machine...lol

Recipe is adopted from OneShyOfABunch:

1 egg
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
3/4 cup + 2 TB milk
1 and 1/2 Tsp sugar
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/8 Tsp Salt

Direction:
Beat the egg until fluffy, add in sugar, oil and milk and then the dry ingredient.

Preheat the sandwich maker and then pour over the liquid in batches , fill in the triangle space by full.
Time for 4 mins, then flip over the 'waffle' for anthoer 3 mins, or until they are well cooked.

Not so sure if they will be a success try in the beginning...it turned out okay!! LoL

Add honey..blueberry jam or whatever we like on and enjoy this great afternoon tea!

But honestly, Chauses still likes waffle in their traditional shape, think that is still the most delicious way to eat waffle lol

Name Stamp!

*haha* I am actually quite proud of myself after I made this name stamp LoL
My interest of making stamps should actually be traced back to the time when I was in primary school. I like doing stamps during lessons...LoL *shuuuu*

It has been quite a long long time till I made this name stamp a few days ago, after seeing my friend sharing very beautiful stamps photos on facebook, and so I picked some unused rubber and started making my name stamp...I would like to have this stamp for a long time and now here it is! Hehe

It is not that difficult to do actually, if you would like to make one also, just get a rubber that has been sitting in the house for ages, use MS word to print out your name in the font you like (size around 18) then flip the paper over and copy the line on the rubber (I am not very good in drawing so I need to print out something for reference...), use a cutter to cut away the rubber around the lines (of course we can use the tools that is specially designed for engraving, but I only have my cutter LoL) Be really careful, do not cut your fingers!

The 52-Week Collection - Week 45: The Formular

Oh gee!! I didn't realize that I haven't written any entry for such a long while....sorry orz
My camera is not in a very healthy condition for my battery charger went overseas unexpectedly lol and my prime lens finally calls for retirement...

This is probably the last great shot from my prime lens...I like my prime lens a lot *sigh*

Mcdonal's coffee might not be the best but it is one of my favorites. Producing a cup of successful coffee needs to follow strict formula just like baking a great cake...and I think this can applies to whatever we do too, although I also agree that inventions sometimes need us to not follow the formula we have.

em...hope I will get the mood back to take some photos soon again...

Best wishes for the year of rabbit!

There's an unique story behind everyone of us that makes us who we are. Sometimes it's kind of interesting to tell ourselves our own stories.

How to let go of negative emotions?

When there are so many things that could make us happy in this world, equally lots of things can make us unhappy. Learn how to let go of negative emotions can help us live our lives in a much easier way, in a much happier manner. Being happy or not, the time is gonna fly away none the less, so why don't us live it happily?

Doing what we like to do is a way to get rid of our disturbing negative emotions, for me cooking and taking photos are one of the best entertainments, when the food is ready to eat, I will feel happier, like the blue berry muffins I made today. :):)

Other than doing what we like to do, a while ago I came across a very helpful video on the web about how to let go our negative emotions, everybody can do it, although it cannot solve the problems that arouse our negative emotions, at least we can face the problems in a better mood, which might help us solve the problems in a better way. 

So, here are the 5 steps:

1. Find a quiet place, you can close your eyes if you like, welcome and feel the emotions that we are trying to get rid of, whether it is sadness ,anger, anxiousness, or anything that is bothering us, just experience the feeling.

2. After experiencing the emotions, ask yourself the first question 

"Could I let go of this feeling?" and Answer yourself "Yes"

3. Ask yourself the second question

"Would I let go of this feeling?" and Answer yourself "Yes"

4. Ask yourself the final question

"When?" and Answer yourself "Now" 

5. Repeat the whole process for 2-3 times until you feel better.

Again, this might not help solving the problems but at least we can now face the challenges again in a more positive emotion! 

Thanks Karen for sharing such a wonderful video
