Art Twenty One

It was a little surprise for me when I was working for the mega event (the post of it is not ready yet, uh) and realized there is new art gallery called Art Twenty One inside the venue. All I did was…just entered the gallery and took my NEX out. I spent like 30 minutes inside, just took pics and gone. I’d like to visit the gallery next time to enjoy the artworks deeply. I promise.

I amazed with those artworks, don’t you? All those metal arts are beautiful indeed and each has character and uniqueness. I could say that African metal arts is something else and officially fall in love with it. Alright, hope you enjoy the pics.

The Revenge 3 ; Dessert.

Dessert time or tea time because I spent it around 4-5 pm? I guess afternoon tea time rite such british has. I’m not a british so lemme call it snack time. Spending late noon with an iPad, culinary books, slice of strawberry mousse and cold iced coffee milk. I sat down open an iPad to see different inspiration of food photography from other talented photographers. I really love to do that, moreover I had a slice of mousse, it was perfect enough because it wasn’t over sweet. Don’t you think the color is perfect? I agree. Cold iced coffee milk was simply refreshing this noon, just need instant coffee and condensed milk, no sugar added.

Oh my revenge is over finally, I should do the latest one as I thought before to make a complete revenge (4!!). Cooking – Capturing – Uploading – Editing – and Blogging for a whole day? Oh I need some rest as well to be ready for the next day.

P.S. Because today was so so cloudy from this morning, I had to give extra exposure to make pics that I captured brighter. But don’t you notice different lighting on some of last pics above? The sun was peeked for minutes before she said bye-bye, you can see from the shadows of the glass and the coffee can easily. I think I should learn more bout’ the lighting honestly yea, all those pics on this blog is depend on natural light, and I never use effects for editing, none. All I need to do for photoshop-ing is resize and  lay-out, brightness and level is sometimes.

The Revenge 2 ; Lunch.

Lunch ; second part of my revenge. After had a small breakfast I decided to cook heavier dish (I meant tasteful). I played with the ingredients that I had ; boneless chicken, as usual, basic spices and broccoli. I just cooked them quickly because in the same time I’d like to stay longer inside my chill room (<—lazy boy! *sigh) because I do realize that today is gonna be over and…yes…and…I will meet again with another hectic week.

Cooking boneless chicken is one of  the quickest food that I could cook today and it was so yummy indeed. Very simple and uh me want more (hiks). I spiced the chicken with basic spices, onion-garlic-pepper-tomato (always..hahaha). Not only that, I used tomato sauce and lime also, so I could get fresh and sour taste from basic spices and it was married with the chicken (I’ll post separately the recipe next time). I used lime instead lemon, I just realized that I didn’t have lemon and by preface I used lime juice. The taste was still yummy! Sour, spicy and so fresh!

For the side dish, I chose broccoli and baked with sauce that I made before, its the same sauce for the chicken. Oh my lunch today was so simply yummy moreover I had complete cold drinks, spring water, rose syrup and…and…red wine…(Ups I’m lying hehe that was just grapes,my Dad will kick and slap me if I drink wine I know :3). I tucked into my lunch when I sat down at the table, hehehe.

Alright, I’ll post the last part of my revenge after. Now time to enjoy the pics!

The Revenge 1 ; Breakfast.

I promise myself to make this Sunday goes well. Stay at home after crazy days last week, chilling inside room for a whole day, and absolutely foods! Foods? yeah that’s gonna be my personal revenge because couple days ago I was a bitter pill to swallow when I worked for a big event (I promise to post it soon).

So start from this morning, I chose to cook a quick one breakfast, just slices of pancakes with butter and Wilkin & Sons strawberry jam (finally I had a chance to grab that jam, I’m curious about the taste of it for a long and now I can say it’s a nice jam). And for drink I brewed a cup of bitter vanilla tea, bitter? yeah, I don’t like oversweet meal for breakfast so that I didn’t put sugar in my tea, bitter was so good after I ate pancakes with sugary jam, thats all.

My Brisk Sunday, Fiuh!

Sunday is supposed to be my free day, off work, and enjoy me time as much as I can. But yesterday was different.  I went to work even it was small work. After I posted my previous one early morning before I went to work, I already thought that I had to have my sunday still. That was okay still working but I asked myself to do something at least my sunday wasn’t fly away.

So, after me and my flatmate, and our team finished with the work, myself and flatmate decided to get some enjoyment outside. He chose having coffee time as usual. Me? I chose to go to grocery side inside mall to find something. I had no clue about that ‘something’ until I saw strawberry and broccoli. Yup I chose red and green. After that, I came back to the coffee shop where my flatmate sat down. I didn’t order a cup of cappucino like his own, I just took a slice of tiramisu. Not bad.

I came home by 1pm alone. My flatmate had to do another part of work (fiuh! oh Sunday!). He attended the meeting for our mega event that I’ve told you before I will post it if we pass it. I told that I would be super busy early April rite? I forgot to tell you that crazy mega event is postpone until the day, thursday and friday this week and haaaaa I already shaking when I imagine pressure and challenges that we will face for that event.

Alright this is it, enjoy!

Puff Pastry, Yesterday.

Sometimes for some reasons I can be a lazybones for breakfast. Its bad I know because no reason ignoring breakfast due to how important breakfast is. When I’m really damn tired of my endless work and cant cook, I try to solve my bad habit for it. Buying some pastry could be an instant problem solver. And yesterday, when I had two puff pastries, I didn’t have a plan before to capture them as usual if I have enough time on saturday. I still work on weekend even I resume later in the morning. And I dunno why it was so enjoyable when I decided to take my camera and yiha!. I played with some effects from my NEX, no edit as usual except the layout. Okay, lemme finish this short post because…yeah because I have to go for other work, on Sunday? *sigh-deep-breath.

In Hurry, Duh!

In hurry? What does it mean?

Okay, lemme tell you, all these pictures on this post are taken this morning, as usual, preparing breakfast could be a big deal if, yes, IF I have short time and I had. My main food was few slices of pan roasted brown bread (I should have a toaster huh! I know *yawn). Side dish was Ryvita Dark Rye Cripsbread that I served with super simple yummy topping. I spread mayo, put pinch of grated cheddar cheese, tiny slices of fresh tomato, small red onion, and small chili sauce. Oh I still had slices of fresh avocado on it. Ah fellas, you have to try to taste that cripsbread with that topping, I’m serious it was melted in my mouth.

The first thing I saw this morning was my ‘five-days-ago‘ avocados had been ripped finally on my dining table. I’ve already served cold milk (I brewed condensed milk, hehe, I had no packed fresh milk) since last night to be used for avocado juice and tarra you can see from last pic, I served it for dessert after I ate orange. Hmm what is the relation with “In hurry”? I just realized that I had only 15 minutes to prepare myself before I had to go to work, can you imagine? And all pics that I took were so random, some of them were flat, duh. Fortunately, I still have nice ones, my fav pics are the orange and the avocado.

And how about those foods? I grab a bite to eat!!! I packed them and enjoyed in office! Hahaha, ridiculous. I just enjoyed my cold avocado and orange before I went to work. The remain avocado juice I packed them also, half of jar!!. Hmm, I should be smarter to manage my morning time later. Anyway, this post is gonna be too long if I don’t stop my writeup.

Time to enjoy the pics! Nom-nom.

A Simply Morning.

I always feel great when I have enough time for breakfast, enough time to cook and enjoy them then. This morning I could cook a simple dish from red spinach, not only red spinach actually, I used green one also. It was a very very simple dish that I’m sure anyone could make it, 7 minutes needed to cook, not bad huh?. So what was the ingredients that I used this morning? They were inexpensive but fruitful enough, red spinach, green spinach, tomato, and avocado. I stir fried them with a very simple spice, as usual garlic, red onion, freshpepper/ chili, black pepper, small butter and pinch of sugar and salt, that’s all. I enjoyed it with beer (haha, nope! that foamy brownie drink was blended black tea with mint leaves and small lime juice, I didn’t put too much sugar for sure), and wheat crackers with Nutella and Skippy.

Sunday, and I was so lazy to cook my breakfast this morning but it wasn’t because I was ‘lazy-lazy‘ actually. I chose to wake up late because I worked overnight the day before and sure I slept more than my normal time. My breakfast were chocolate croissant (officially croissant lover! I do), cereals, slices of fresh orange and soya milk. It was so simple and yummy in the same time.

Can you see my last bite of choco croissant on this post and imagine the taste? You should because it was very very nice, hehehe. Enjoy the pics! Nom-nom.

Simply Breathtaking.

On this post I’d like to share you some of my shots that I took few days ago when I passed floristry department in my office and yesterday too at our new shop on Victoria Island. I was amazed with Peonies and Tulips when I saw them inside the cooler. I grabbed my camera and yeah I got them beautifully. The black color of the cooler is fantastic as a background makes those flowers look dramatic. I thought my NEX-5 did a great job for this post but yeah still I am craving a better camera (Pro one!!! I’ll get it, I promise). Hey can you guess which one of these picture that aren’t fresh flowers (easy! Im sure you can). But they’re look real yeah?

Do you know which one is my fav? Peonies (first pic!) and  Soleirolia (that green one that looks like curvy hair, cute huh?). Anyway hope you enjoy this pics!
