Blend Trend

Finally I bought a blender! I'd always wanted one but didn't get around buying one. Just received some cash advance from site admin and I went on a shopping spree. This is retail therapy I guess, however I only buy food items. Does that makes it any better, I wonder.

It's actually a smoothie maker. Supposed to be able to crush ice cubes. I couldn't wait for the ice to freeze and harden up, I tried the classic recipe : - oranges, celery and carrots.

First you have to get the ingredients. It would be much easier getting an orange with celery sprouting out of it, two in one, no need to get two separate ingredients hihi

Chop, dice, pour in some water, press button and see them dance. Before and after of the process.

Anyway, nothing can go wrong with a blender, just put in the chunks of food and press, and there you have it, fresh smoothie/juice/puree. Cheers for good health.

Settling down in Plymouth

Grand Parade, Plymouth, a good half an hour brisk walk away from the city, away from all the noise and traffic. Well, this is looking at things positively I guess. I have to hypnotize myself that I am still able to go to the city in times when I do not have the transport. At the moment, I am still without internet connection in the apartment. Leeching a friend's internet connection every weekend haha

My apartment is just next to the sea, and here's the living room. I have a fireplace!
*fireplace just for show, no fire allowed*

Its a comfy place, however it gets cold at night due to the sea breeze and also the heater which is not in tip top condition. Brrrrr.... not a good thing with winter just around the corner.

A great view of the sea from the living room window, the military dock is just on the right of my house, sometimes I can see some big ships passing by. I would like to think that those are destroyers , but I am not sure. This morning I only shot some yachts and the big mansion across on the rocky island. I wonder how one goes to that mansion.

Here's the mansion up close.

Seagulls are everywhere, even in the city. This one was wandering at the garden at the ground floor, outside the apartment. There are some models of warships and subs along the waterfront walkway. There are benches as well for those who wish to have a longer look at the sea.

For the moment, I am still rather satisfied with this place, just the lack of internet connectivity gets to my head sometimes. *crosses fingers* Hope I get connected soon.

Safe Journey!

Backtrack to the time when I was leaving M'sia. It appears that this has become a blog that I update only when I'm away from assignment Hihi Apparently I wasn't really motivated to take photos when I'm back at home. But when I'm in a new place and have some time to spare, no problem at all...

I was so glad that time time my family sent me off to the airport, previously I would take the cab to the airport and greet farewell at home. It's a nice feeling with them there.

Photo taken by sis, haven't tried such photo angles before, turned out quite well with the sepia treatment.

Me and my Dad seldom take photos together, the most recent photos being those that from Dad's bday celebration, and before that, can't really recall though. Really ought to make more photo opportunities with parents and sister.

My auntie came to the airport as well, with everyone there, it makes it more difficult to say goodbye.

Family portrait in the airport. It will be another one year before I get to go back to M'sia. Well better hang on tight and enjoy the ride, it makes it more bearable and time will pass faster. *fingers crossed*
