Yummy cinnamon rolls for breakfast today! I had some red bean soup to go with them and it was enough to start my day. Cinnamon buns are one of my favorite pastries, I love the way they make them into soft, fluffy spirals of dough. Sometimes they look too good to eat!

Lunch Today
I was at a food court in town for lunch today and saw one of my old favourites - Claypot Chicken Rice - which is something I haven't taken for a long time. It came piping hot in a claypot (of course) and I found that apart from chicken, there were generous bits of salted fish and Chinese sausage. Unfortunately I didn't find it as good as I expected it to be, maybe my taste buds have gone awry but nevertheless it was a good, solid lunch. May come here again to try other food!

Case of the Missing Eggs
Sometimes I think I'm on the brink of dementia. I had gone to the market this morning to get some stuff, including half a dozen eggs which I put in the carrier bag together with the other things. When I got home to unpack, I was puzzled when I couldn't find the eggs. I went back to the car to search thinking that the plastic bag containing them had fallen out but there was nothing in the car. I searched the kitchen again, still nothing. Perhaps someone had pinched them from my shopping bag when I was not looking? Feeling quite exhausted, I sat down and slowly started thinking back. I was convinced that I had definitely put them in the bag. I went back to the kitchen and bingo! I found the eggs on the kitchen counter safe and sound. Why didn't I see them there before? I then realized that the eggs were in a green plastic bag and not in a black plastic bag which I was looking for all the time! See how the mind can deceive your eyes! I hope it's not dementia yet (touchwood), but just a case of not being mindful!

Oh, For An Ice Kacang!
I have been fooled. The monsoon rains have not yet reached our shores, those thunderstorms a couple of nights ago was only a "trailer" of what's to come. So we're still under a sweltering heat wave. Walking in the park now means keeping under the shade of the trees and apart from that, the heat doesn't make you want to go out anywhere. Gosh, I could do with a freezing cold Ice Kacang right now ....

Happy Easter
Easter Sunday is always a special day for me even though I don't belong to any church. This morning I felt much peace and calm as I stood in the grounds of our local church and spent a few minutes in prayer.
May you too feel the love of God on this blessed day. Happy Easter!
