On some days, i move my breaks from dining to work area where it’s next to a big window. The light is more sufficient, especially when it’s raining or cloudy. The downside? i tend to eat and work at the same time instead of having a nice real break.

rain

Swedish meatballs and potato, camomile tea

Enjoying the cool weather these days because it has been raining a lot. Bad thing is, i’ve been suspended from booking yoga classes in advance for 2 weeks cos of 2 times late cancel within a month. And both times was because the rain was pouring crazy. It’s one of those very heavy kind of rain that you wouldn’t want to step out of the house, squeeze on the bus with other drenched passengers during peak hours, unless there’s no choice.

Mini green tea with chocolate waffle, green tea with red bean bread, camomile tea

The green tea taste was too overpowering, didn’t like it and had to throw them away :(

What a bad packaging design for yogurt. The edge was ‘stained’ with yogurt all round when i peeled open the cover, it looked so unappetising.

Time is flying by so fast that it scares me sometimes.

*i am guessing you are sick of seeing them by now lol
