no regrets

if today is the only day you get, how would you like to spend it

我错了

連自己都不知為甚麽,做事心不在焉,频频出错。其實也不是放松了,因為我一點也没有放松的感覚。可能是办公時間有了些空闲,脑袋就開始想些有的没的。很明显,我想的都错了。My logic is wrong, thinking process is wrong, idea is wrong, judgment is wrong, the entire conecpt is wrong...

喝着人家喜歡喝的咖啡,看着人家喜歡看的球赛,到人家喜歡的地方做着人家喜歡做的事。這些並不能令人家喜歡我,也不等于我做到人家所期待的。但我愿意做别人喜歡做的事,也不介意把人家的興趣當作自己的。我覚得一點也不勉强。

我不是怕负责任,也不是怕一個人。只是错了以後希望有人為我指条明路。

從滑雪學到的

我不聪明,學東西也不快,但我偏偏喜欢尝试新東西。

這是我第一次滑雪板,雖然真得跌了很多,但還是挺好玩的。我天生的平衡力就不大好,snowboard  比 ski 對我来说更难,所以跌的次数也很多。我比别人跌得多,感到拖人家後腿真有點不好意思,但這也變成動力。每次跌到都會摔得很痛,就想摊在那里不想起来,但最後還是用全身力氣起来了。不摔倒又怎會學會重新站起来,怕摔倒又怎會把滑雪學會?每一次摔倒都问一下自己為甚麽,下一次怎样才會不摔,摔了几十次後便學會了。

滑雪時我就在想,我的人生也是一样吧。如果摔了一次就怕了,摔倒後不重新站起,那我就永远都呆在原地,到不了山脚和朋友们集合,也去不了更高的山上滑了。 雖然是學得比人家慢,但跌到後爬起来的精神我想我還是有的。

Creme Burlee

In fact, I want to make this dessert for a long time. I tried a couple times in univeristy, but failed. Since my coworker is good at cooking, I let her give me a lesson on creme burlee. I guess she is a good teacher, I made it. The next day, I brought it back to office and let other coworkers try them. The response is pretty good. =)

The raw material of this dessert is simple and inexpensive. The hardest part of the making process is "tempering the egg". If you get the trick, you will be able to do it. Everything has a certain way to do it right, you just need to find it.

I am going to try New York Cheese Cake today. Hopefully it will be another success. o^^o

2011 Winterlicious

Toronto got Summerlicious and Winterlicious.[Toronto 2011 Winterlicious]
This is the first year I go to a Winterlicious. The restaurant we went is Five Doors North. We decided it pretty late, couldn't get a reservation on Saturday night so we went on a Tuesday after work. The restaurant we picked is pretty small, afterall it is on Yonge Street.

I got a Alaska crab meat cake as my appetizer, lamb rack for main course and creme brule for dessert. We also got Aresti Carbernet Sauvignon for wine drink and long island after the meal.

Overall, I rate this meal 6/10. However the score wasn't for the food completely. I just enjoyed the dining expereince in general. The crab meat cake is good, but hardly taste any crab meat.  The creme brule looks pretty but taste pretty weird. It is not hot or cold, werid. The wine is pretty new and I doubt there was any alcohol in my long island. Yet, the main course - lamb rack is pretty decent.

The meal wasn't as good as I expected. Maybe I picked a wrong restaurant. Hopefully, the upcoming summerlicious would be better.
