Can I say Chocolate Indulgence cake is one of my simple indulgences? The fact that chocolate is my favourite forever make that cake tops my food chart...hand me anything with chocolate and I will melt to the giver...that easy, yes...
Why did I come up to this? It's simply my way to be grateful for every little things in my life...
And to my delight, this happened without you ever noticing but it somehow warmed your feelings all along...
My simple indulgence recently, from my visit to my favourite bookstore...I had this habit of strolling along (as in gardens) the bookshelves checking books (what else)...just checking and I might walk away without buying any...but I find this so therapeutical...some may find this a total waste of time, but surprisingly I regard this as indulgence...just to roam in bookstore!
Another simple one which I hope you can relate, is having your favourite cuppa at work station...the aroma of that steaming tea / coffee will definitely perk your mood, no? It is just as I put it, simple indulgence...but in my situation, a great company...yes, that very cup of tea!
Maybe I could never list down each and every one of it...but I'm glad that I have posted this...I would share some more as writing this, is an indulgence too!

Inspired
That title is so simple and short,no? But it tells the whole story that I simply got inspired!
It certainly has changed certain aspects in my routine...it affects positively on my diet and complexion too!
So what is it that inspired me? Can I say the way I see my meal from a journey? It started during my trip to Sydney recently, which I still haven't got the vibe to blog about...soon, I hope ;)
Whenever we travel, Mr Husband is very particular about halal food and that means we only visited Turkish / Arabic diner everytime we are abroad...how lucky we were that we found plenty of Turkish diners in Sydney...how does that inspired me?
After we got back home, I'm still salivating over the delicious Turkish kebab we had in Sydney...maybe having it during the winter caused the flavour bursting in my mouth resulted that extra effect we never experienced at home!
Shameful to admit, I went high and low to search for the ingredients so I can create that kebab back at home...I'm very lucky to have Presto Supermarket conveniently located at train station to my office...this place seemed to have everything that I need for my 'exotic' kebab...
I will diligently grilled the wraps, cooked the fillings which alternately consisted of mushrooms, fish fillets, eggs, tuna with overloaded salads...it may not tempt you, but it surely a hit to me..the satisfaction of creating my own meal...
How does this improve my complexion? By having your own packed meal, you don't have to go out for lunch...indirectly, I can escape the scorching hot sun during my lunch break...how convenient! Believe it or not, the dreadful blemishes have slowly diminished and my skin is getting clearer if not flawless (which requires some other magic)...
This is another inspiration adapted from the locals in Sydney...where the ladies seemed so elegantly enjoying their wraps at the park...I, obviously do not have the luxury to sit at my local parks here thanks to the tropical hot sun, but my meal succeeded in bringing that sweet taste of my journey even for a mere hour in reality...simple indulgence~
I will post another entry on other simple indulgences...stuff I wish to share with you!

Lazy Day
Forgive this soul for being absent...long hiatus, really! Well, I've got good reasons to that..my Aussie trip has been the main reason actually...not the trip alone but the preparations prior to that were quite taxing, talking like a novice traveller heh!
But I'm not gonna divulge about the trip now...more on trying to practice on posting some entries after so long...hence, this lazy post...I 'm allowed to be lazy today as it's SUNDAY! I can't risk laziness on weekdays, peeps ;)
My favourite day is actually Friday (guess to everybody)...but Sunday is the day where I can stay at home all day long, no joke! I love spending my days lounging on my couch with my favourite tv shows while sipping hot tea...blissful for me...sorry for making your flea market trip or picnic in the park sounds lame...but my idea of Sunday is stay-at-home...boring, you might say...but the joy of not doing anything is so pleasurable...hmmm~
I guess I need to add some spices to my Sunday routine in case you imagine it as mundane...my day starts early with laundry...the moment your machine is spinning the detergent, this sweet + fresh fragrance filled your kitchen..and you feel instantly refreshed to give you the idea on what's for breakfast..try this and you know what I mean, hehe..
Lunch is usually home cooked or sometimes fast food meal outside (which is very rare cos I dont wanna break the stay-at-home rule)...napping is totally out of question since I love my Li channel more! A bit of stretching is not gonna hurt, so I will usually whip something light for dinner (like for today, egg noodle with beef and mushroom), which was prepared as early as 5pm cos I love settling everything early so I can continue with my chilling throughout the day...what a trick, to enjoy the remaining day before it ends (like my case at 9pm when it's already feel like Monday)....
If you ask me, I'm grateful for being able to savour this 'lazy' (Sun)day on every weekend...a routine which spells relax in my term :)
