Korean food; Sense of wonder

Just came back from a short but fruitful Korea trip, and was shutter-happy during dinners...

Of all the things above, guess what I did not eat...

And i have finally found the song that was partially stuck in my head... (partially cos I forgot the name of the song until today)...

It begins with "I hope you never lose your sense of wonder", and that is how i feel about travelling. Sometimes, I do get 'lost' while travelling and lose the spirit of curiousity and wonder. But when I open my eyes, a lot of things become more visible... the towering skyscrapers in Tokyo, the wooded hills in Seosan/Daesan, the snow in Daqing, the Japanese-style restaurants in Kaohsiung... More travels for work will continue from now onwards. More photos to be taken.

this song was going on and on in my head recently, and just heard it on the radio moments ago... prompting me to do an online search...

here are two versions...

Tiramisu ... a new recipe, a new attempt

Made another attempt on making the "simple" tiramisu last friday, and managed not to destroy the whipping cream (by hand-beating... which was tiring). The resulting tiramisu sans-eggs was actually edible... wohoo....

This time round, I was more willing to serve the tiramisu to friends, and had mostly positive comments... :-) of course, if the cream could be lighter, it might be better?

time to say goodbye

it is like everything has an expiry date to it... it had to come down to this.

i had thought that i could make it last. changed parts of it to make sure that it can go on for a while more... i had taken very good care of it, being cautious as always. of course, there were times when i was careless, but isn't that inevitable?

i remember the good times of June 2006 when it began. it was how i got through the weeks in Taiwan, how i got through many of the things in life. and even though i did not get the support of most of the people around me, i stuck with it, enjoying the company.

but as mentioned, forever is unattainable... ... good bye, my N80...
