my recent obsession is to try out desserts~ after a few successes i tried my hand at that mysterious phenomena, the molten chocolate cake.
the one which is cracked on the outside but when you spoon it, deliciously warm and gooey on the inside.
with 14th feb coming up, this was just what the doctor ordered.
for those of you who want to try it
A sense of disconnect. A disbelief. A feeling of liberation.
It’s all so simple. So very presumptious.
You step out and you start walking. Left foot right foot.
The air is not fresh but its air that hits your face and makes your hair move.
You look around and you see familiar faces. Very familiar.
But they are different. They laugh. They stroll casually or walk briskly.
A child skips away from her mother. The mother smiles and leans back.
Behind her the traffic moves just like what you know.
2 friends laden with grocery bags suddenly stop and light up.
There are those who look like they just finished a hard day of labour,
But they look light and carefree. They enjoy their jokes.
You keep walking. Looking around carefully.
Traffic here, congestion there, huge mall here, tree lined avenue there.
You love the sensation that is freedom. It’s around you.
You envy them this. Especially since you see that it’s all so easy.
You wonder. Why don’t we have this?
when the power fails and the city is without light for hours, when the UPS dies at the office and no work can be done, sometimes you just have to make the most of it. Today i am thankful for meetings which can be held at espresso in air conditioned comfort with croissants. I am thankful for shortened work hours which gave me unexpected time with my family, and mostly i am grateful for friends with generators who invited me over for dinner and a game of taboo, and set the mood with candles and incense burners.
