Easy Way, recycled

So recently BW posted on fb this link for his friend. It was a product on ebay called the PickMaster, which is basically a metal puncher in the shape of guitar picks. It's a lot bigger than the commercial paper shape cutters because it's designed to cut plastic. They recommended bank cards and other uselesss plastics.

I actually had a little storage of guitar picks which I kept in my pigeonhole at uni. Each week, however, a couple will mysteriously disappear. The second last week of uni, I was left with a grand total of 0 picks in my pigeonhole.

Turned that useless Easyway card and Strandbag membership card into picks! And the pineapple tart? Is from a famous shop in Taiwan. Apparently it's so good that people queue up ages just to get some :D a good colleague gave it to me. Yay, it's still Chinese New Year!

Ebay buy

Those who skyped me before, or google hung out, would know. My laptop is so dodgily old that it doesn't even have a built in microphone, so I looked into getting a good one. Absolutely not looking for those that are attached to headphones which you use for starcraft :P

Found one that costed maybe around 30, a logitech one that apparently picks up words very well. Then I read reviews that said it breaks easier and sometimes comes broken during postage.

Went on ebay just for a quick browse and searched my all time favourite brand (haha).  Sony had one small plug-in mic which costs only 4 dollars and free shipping from Hong Kong. It arrived a few days ago, tried and tested. Works super well :) next time, I can video call properly!! Yay.

More Fish!

So another one of my obsessions has started. Cheesecake. However, it seems like cheesecake often comes with bad coffee, so I've taken to ordering either just cheesecake, or cheesecake and tea.

From rhizome

The first was from My Sweet Memory. I did say I was going to come back here and try their cheesecake. Verdict? Meh. The cheese filling wasn't that creamy and it felt like an old cheesecake. Aged cheesecake. Definitely not what I imagined it to be, after all the hype and seeing everyone order it.

Testing. Again.

Hoping that the picture doesn't shrink when I post this. My Sweet Memory cafe opened in Sydney CBD, right next to TomnToms. Having to spend 2 hours of waiting today, I had this coffee there. Slightly burnt... but not to the point of being completely undrinkable.

Anyone want to take a barista course with me? :D

Work, and comfort food

The ultimate comfort food for me at the moment has to be cheesecake. It's just something about the smooth, creamy cheese, sometimes with a tang of lemon, sometimes overly sweet with a caramel topping, other times with fruits or oreo filling. The biscuit base, preferrably hard and crunchy. This New York baked one from starbucks has shredded coconut in its biscuit base.

I did try to make cheesecake before, but that was many moons ago. Perhaps I shall try again soon :)

Music therapy work has started for me! It's time to get back into the roll of thing. Time to start practicing again...

Happy chinese new year! Stay happy and healthy! Eat lots! Work hard! :D
