I ♥ brownies.

Mmhmm… I’m drooling just looking at this picture. Nothing beats biting into a chewy-gooey melty chocolate brownie. It’s even more awesome if it spells out a ‘happy birthday’ message. =] These homemade brownies were for my 21st birthday; they were made with love by my two super awesome first-year roomies! They knew exactly what to get me. As the saying goes, the way to a (wo)man’s heart is through his stomach! So true!

Nothing beats the brownie cupcakes!

Nothing beats an ice cold iced cappuccino on a blazing hot day! What’s even better? You’ll always find a Tim Horton’s nearby. Can’t beat that.

Icy cold iced cappuccino!

… in the future! At least that’s how I interpreted the title.

I would love to go skydiving in the future. None of the tandem stuff. I’m going solo! It’d require some training beforehand… but the whole excitement of jumping out a plane by myself is just over the top for me! Control freak much?

skydiving 101!

Lunch at Wonton Chai Noodles! This place is amazing when it comes to cheap noodles that would fill you up. The portion size is perfect for me.

I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of the actual noodles because… well… I pretty much devoured it when the noodles came! But let me assure you, this bowl of noodles is definitely well worth the 5 bucks!

mmhmm... wonton noodles

I think it’s so important to be able to laugh at yourselves sometimes. And one way to practice that (literally) is to make lots of funny faces. Just grab something random and turn on the webcam!

In case you’re wondering, yes, I do actually keep star wands around my desk. And yes, there are multiple star wands.

This isn’t a picture persay, but this video, this song, gets me everytime. The song is 溫柔(Gentle) by 五月天 (Mayday). Listening to the live version gives me chills everytime. I love everything about the chorus – the lyrics, the melody, the whole atmosphere of the song. The lyrics flow together so well. Ashin might not be the greatest singer in the world, but he sings with such great emotion that it’s infectious. I need to see them live again.

不知道 不明瞭 不想要 為什麼 我的心
I don’t know, don’t understand, don’t want to ask why my heart
明明是想靠近 卻孤單到黎明
So clearly wants to get closer but is alone until daybreak
不知道 不明瞭 不想要 為什麼 我的心
I don’t know, don’t understand, don’t want to ask why my heart
那愛情的綺麗 總是在孤單裡 
Always finds the beauty of love in loneliness,
再把我的最好的愛給你
I’ll give my best love to you once more

Once upon a time, I saved inspirational secrets on my hard drive, especially the Post Secret secrets and LJ Secrets. After re-organizing the hard drive for the umpteenth time, I realized that I never go back to the folder where all things inspirational and exciting are kept. Nowadays, my friends inspire me the most! It sounds cheesy, but it’s true. I have the best bunch of people as my friends, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.f

Make it last forever, friendship never ends

So maybe this isn’t exactly the morning picture the challenge asked for. But rules are made to be broken right? I also played around with the colours a bit… meh, rules smules.

I ♥ breakfast time. I ♥ all types of breakfast. Nothing can get between me and my tasty hk breakfasts! Ok, maybe the gloominess…
