Little Luxuries

Because it's holiday time- I get to enjoy the luxury of sleeping in and spending at least 30 mins preparing/having breakfast. These past few days, I've been having an egg & ham sandwich with a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk- it's kept me going until lunch. No morning tea break- no snacking :O The wonders of eating breakfast. I normally skip cos I love my sleep in the morning and wake late everyday.

Question: Does anyone use the back of a spoon to spread stuff- ie like a butter knife to butter bread?  A couple of years ago, our family & 2 others went on this camping trip up on the Central Coast. In the morning we had breakfast and my duty was to butter the toast. I instinctively reached out to grab a spoon and proceeded to dip it into the butter and used the back of the spoon to butter the bread. When the 4 kids from the 2 other families saw, they were like "wtf lol" and thought it was ridiculous.  The fact is, I've done it my entire life.  I rarely use a butter knife to butter bread.  I think spoons are really useful because they're super versatile.

When I was at Singleton last year, I was again laughed at for being a spoon kinda person.  My knife was made redundant. I never needed it. The edge of my spoon could cut, it could scoop, it could stab (I'm a master-spoon user) and well, it could shovel really well. I used it for porridge, cereal, cutting up puts of potato and pumpkin, scooping up peas, etc.

IS IT ONLY ME?!

WHAT I LOVE SPOONS!

My favourite- sunny side up eggs.

1.  Melt some butter in a hot frying pan.

2. Crack an egg onto it.

3.  When it looks like the egg in the above picture, sprinkle a right amount of salt onto it.

4.  Switch off the heat.

5. Use a ... what are they called.. a flat wooden spoon? (I used a fork) to flip it over and let it sizzle for a couple of seconds.

6. Serve

Or in my case...

PLONK IT ON SOME BREAD :D

I eat this every morning now. 2 slices of buttered white bread (I gave up on wholemeal- left a funny aftertaste), 4 slices of honey ham, generous amount of mayonnaise (mm), sunny egg with pepper. :) It's a great combination.  Egg= good for brain :D excellent choice of food before exams.

Other brain foods are nuts and berries.. but I haven't had those in a while. Should stock up on those next week. Bahaha.

I was going to say something about Chupa Chups.. But I've temporarily forgotten, so digressing...

War paint

ISCF End of Term- Capture the Flag. I decided to tag along after spending some time at school studying that day.  It was fun. Haven't done so much exercise in one day. (I have been playing with my dad's dumbells {shuddup} every night now, and seriously, I feel stronger than ever hahaha)  I keep forgetting to bring my camera to important/fun events so I'm stuck with my shakey phone cam.  At leasat you can still see Edward Scissorhands :D and Sam's pandas :D  Actually- I have a similar toilet photo taken with Sam. I'll find it now..

R.I.P Silver Canon IXUS.

People told me I looked like a different person that day . D: I LOOK LIKE ME!

This was taken last weekend- the happy day I finally found my dress. Haha. It was awesome. HUGE moon cake. D stuck his hand into the photo to use as a "comparison". *cough* he has a huge hand. His fingers are at least 5-7cm longer than mine- so. Err. yeah. That's how big it is. If you want to see it for yourself- I hope it's still at Sussex Centre in Chinatown :D  It was there when I visited on Wednesday so.. yeah :)

I REMEMBER NOW! I was going to talk about how my cousin was the face of chupa chups like 25+ years ago. Haha. Yes.  I'll have to do some digging to see if I can find it again.  M tells me my cousin V was a really chubby kid and all she had to do was to suck on the Chupa chup, pull it out and say "Chupa chup".  Damnit. I wish I could have been a part of history like that :D I want to be in an advertisement (Not the Bonds Kaleidescope ones.. but I wouldn't mind KFC :D)

Speaking of KFC- I mentioned ages ago that they would have a new consumer product- Krushers or something - the ads are super annoying; but I really want to try the Golden Gaytime drink. I've never had a GG before. Back in the days when I used to be able to choose an iceblock to buy- I'd always choose the Rainbow Paddlepop (they're different nowadays).  Anyway- I was just going to say; Krusher cups were one of D's project and he took the tester batch home- so we have alot of recycled plastic cups.

Producing recycled materials is actually a lot more expensive than making it from raw materials- and it's sold for much less, but in the manufacturing industry- if you can't make products from recycled materials- you can't do business with all the big companies- ie MacDonalds, KFC, Woolies. You need a specific type of machinery- access to  used plastics, etc D: and alot of smaller manufacturing companies are dying fast. People are losing their jobs and the big companies like V*sy are getting bigger and bigger.  I think it's almost a monopoly market now =___=; But alas, it cannot be helped if everyone wants to be "environmentally friendly".  Only the big companies can survive- especially in our currently state (globally).

Oh I hate being capped. I've been capped for the past couple of days and it's been a pain to surf on my mob- I think I have pretty bad reception in my house, even though I live on top of a hill. T_T;

Anyway- hope you're all studying hard. Alot of you have been updating your blogs, my but I've been trying to load the pages for over 25 mins now- TAKEN AGES :@  I shall try again on Sunday- UNCAPPED BLISS.
