Smoothies

In the early 2000s, during a Robinsons expo fair, if one buys a certain amount, free blenders are given out. I was one of the hundreds who got it - but not knowing what to do with it - just chucked it on top of my cupboard for a couple of years - till recently, by spur of my brother, we started to make fruit yogurt smoothies. To this date, smoothies have become a fort-daily (if there is such a word-twice in a day) ritual at home.

The original homemade yogurt is sour so usually we add 2-3 heapful of sugar + a cupful worth of yogurt + fruits. So far, fruits we tried are strawberries/banana/mango/blueberry.
Can you guess my ultimate favorite? Mine is strawberry/blueberry smoothie. My Ah Yang Kor Kor is banana, my mom's avocado or not too sweet, my pa's limit is just a cup, my Xiang Xiang Kor Kor is mangoor the sweeter the better... So you can guess smoothies are in very demand at my home. Heehee! Blenders are such useful things, really. Especially when you don't feel like eating a fruit. Would recommend it to Lydia as a kitchen necessity.

Btw, making yogurt, to me, is therapeutic, kindles satisfaction, which brings forth confidence.

Everytime on my birthday...

I always remember this was and still is somewhat I psycho myself - to stay relevant/abreast with times...


"Today is my eighteenth birthday! How old! and yet how far am I from being what I should be. I shall from this day take the firm resolution to study with renewed assiduity, to keep my attention always well fixed on whatever I am about, and to strive to become every day less trifling and more fit for what, if Heaven wills it, I'm some day to be."

- Queen Victoria's journals

How do you know what to venture and what things are the things you want to be?
