Pesto and baking

Yes sometimes I do get bored and lonely watching Olympics, especially during the afternoon. So what I do is either eat (something, surprisingly, I'm doing very little. Which is BAAAD) or bake.

And for this week I've settled with baking and along the way, found out I made too much and pizza became our dinner too for that night. Oh and I made pizza from scratch!

The day before pizza baking, I made pesto.

I used it as a base for my pizza (the icky greenish tinge) and bro kinda hated it so for my second pizza I used tomato paste as the base. For that pizza (forgot to take a photo of that) my brother requested for second helpings heheh.

Eh but my pesto wasn't disgusting. Other than my brother (The da sao ye pfft), everyone else enjoyed it =D 

Had left over pesto so I mixed it with angel hair pasta and a handful of toasted pine nuts and it was yummy!

Yea it's green and looks bland but trust me it's yummy! But then again the next time I make it I would probably add some meat.

A refreshing change from the tomato sauce pasta and carbonara.

After making pizza dough, I find myself in the mood of kneading so the next day, with the left over yeast from  pizza making and 2 years old yeast found in the obscure corner of the fridge (lucky haven't expire haha), I made white bread!

Like a bread fresh from the oven in a bakery ;)

Really enjoyed kneading and punching the dough in the living room while watching Olympics XD And the process of making bread, waiting for the yeast to multiply and for it to rise really fills your house with the bakery smell. Hmm~

Homemade bread. Makes me feel like making homemade Nutella to eat with it.

On another note, Olympics is ending tonight T.T By tomorrow there will a hollowness in my heart that can only be filled 4 years later at the Rio Olympics.

Another leng lui I spotted at yesterday's High Jump finals =Q

Solo Travel is WAY overrated.

Across the Internet, you see people gush on and on about the wonders of solo travel. Don't believe me? Here are the many examples: 1. From a travel website. A truly liberating experience:  Solo travel is one of most liberating experiences on the planet - you’ve got no responsibilities to anybody but yourself, you can do what you want and leave when you like, and the buzz you get from the sense of freedom is immense. 2, A quote within a nice photo: (PS: I did travel alone and it was way lonelier than I expected) 3. Another quote: Inspired by this, I planned a solo trip to Cambodia. Initially, I was even more ambitious and planned a SEA solo trip- Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and maybe even the Philippines. Obviously, that didn't turn out as plan and I settled with Cambodia only. That was the best decision I made with regards to my trip planning. I am so grateful I didn't have to go through the horror of travelling ALONE. Haha ok ...

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total...

Reminiscing brought me back here.

I was wondering what happened to few years back and remember the fact that I actually had multiple blogs back in the days. I actually still have a few blogs running but they are all privatised (For my eyes only) and this is the only true blog I have. I actually still have a semi-active Tumblr account, Twitter and (gasp) Instagram which are updated almost daily and let's not forget Facebook. Other than my 8 hour daily sleep, you will definitely find me on Facebook. Like I was saying, I was reminiscing about back in the days and checked back in this blog. And it made it sad I didn't keep it updated. Hindsight is witch. It is always telling me things I should have done and THIS (blogging) is also one of the things I should have been more active in. Actively blogging would have helped me record down what I did on a daily or weekly basis. In fact, it would have helped me in my book writing about my 5 years in dental school. I'm pretty serious here. During my final year, I to...
