Some people are lucky enough to find what they love doing aka their passion early on in their lives, while others end up finding their passion all of their lives, often wondering what their passion really is. A friend found her passion in Make-up and hairstyling as soon as she sets in her puberty years. However, it is only on her 30th birthday that she decided to educate herself and get a degree from this cosmetology school. Currently, she already finished her degree and has started her own salon business. From time to time, she would also do photoshoots.

So how about you, have you found your passion already?

Who is under the weather? ME :(

I think everyone is having a hard time coping up with the change of season. When I told my Aunt that I am sick, she said well, there's only 4 people in the clan who is not. Yay!

I was craving for Sampalok/Tamarind Candies for 2 weeks now. I did not realize there are ready made being sold at the Asian/Filipino store. Hubby did not bother checking too. Instead, he bought this the other day after checking some Motherboards in a computer shop.

And I transformed them to this yesterday :).

Sampalok is love!
hee hee.

Oh and yes the recipe is quite easy :)
Peel off the tamarind. Dissolve sugar and a bit of flour in a boiling water then mix the peeled tamarind. Add sugar and salt, depending on the consistency and taste you want to achieve.

I have 2 close friends who are both based in Singapore. I have known them for almost 25 years now, maybe even more. One of them visited me last week and we had a good 3 days spent together in Washington, D.C. while the other one who is working for an insurance company and could not take a leave sent me some goodies from Singapore. I was not aware that Singapore is known for Chili Crabs, I haven't visited the place yet. So when she told me she is sending me this Prima Taste's Singapore Chilli Crabs mix, I could not contain my excitment. Too excited that as soon as we arrived home, DH cooked me some Chilli Crabs for dinner.

My Verdict: it was really good save for it lacks a bit of salt, maybe I just like my crabs salty but the mix itself was good and it was easy to cook. Too bad, crabs is the only seafood I am allergic with so I was not able to indulge so much.

This is a photo of my Pucca restaurant taken 2 weeks ago, an iPhone app game that I religiously play every single day. By this time around, I have more used restaurant furniture and added 2 more staff in my growing restaurant. I was never into these kinds of mobile games but I just could not resist this one. I guess my yearning to learn how to make dumplings and noodles from scratch made me love this game more.

Have a good week ahead y'all!
