Are the best.... :)
Maybe it is the onset of age, maybe it is just how it is, but really, it is the simple things in life that are the best, that bring a lot of joy and good moments! Like tonight, I was thinking, to eat a piece of chocolate cake (which was freshly baked by my mum) and to watch episodes of Grey's Anatomy would be utterly satisfying. A bit sad on one hand, yet really, the small moments, the small pieces make a really really satisfying picture! Really, maybe it is the onset of age.... or maybe the post trauma effects of having to study and read thousands and thousands of words... :)
Reading a new recipe book or a new food magazine is honestly so joyous... what is it about the kitchen that one can be so passionate about - I think it's the creation of wonderful scents, satisfied "customers" (hopefully!), the ability to create something... honestly, there is just no stopping with what you can create with food!!! The dinner parties, the colours, the yuuuummmy moments with friends!
So what are your favourite simple things in life?
For example... (in no particular order)
1. A good conversation with a friend
2. An excellent cup of coffee, in prefably a nice cup :)
3. An excellent piece of cake - last night the craving was cheesecake... btw, Cakes Delight at Canning Hwy, Applecross does an excellent cheesecake :)
4. Grey's Anatomy & Gilmore Girls
5. A good night's sleep
6. An excellent meal with great friends
7. A trip to the hairdressers
8. Being with a friend, being with family
9. Loving your job
10. Being able to cook and cook loads too, an even better challenge! :)
11. Just having time on your hands to do what you want - whether it be to flip through a magazine, listen to a sermon, read a book, just not needing to rush :)
And the list goes on...
I am so excited that I now honestly, will have some time to bake and cook and do all these fabulous things that I couldnt do guilt-free for months, thanks to the pending exam, assignments.... pages of readings.. etc etc.. blah blah blah!
This weekend is my friend's wedding, and she loves pink (YIPPPPEEE!!!) so I'm making pink layered jelly - it will be different shades of pink... thank God for pink! :)
So watch this space for pictures... and there will be more food pictures... truly there will be this time! :)

Uhhh oohhhh ... she's on the loose! Hahahaha ... sounds like you're quite relieved that your exams / assignments are over. The good thing is that now you're able to appreciate those little things in life.
My list would be similar to yours, except for Gilmore girls. Do real people actually talk like that? I haven't seen it for a while but I know a few girls like it.
Enjoy your new lease on life! You forgot to add gardening to your list :)
Yes liz i agree!!i can feel your joy after exam haha :) also you forgot to add watching korean drama to your list :P i have no time for this at the moment, hopefully can get Spring Waltz from you soon...looking forward to watch this fourth and final installment of director Yoon Suk-ho's seasonal drama series..may be i can do my "revision" on winter sonata too, in this winter maybe, simple :)
Hahahhaa... no gardening wouldnt quite fit on that list, but Im sure if I hang out with Eehui more, it will! :)
I dont know many girls who are as funny as Lorelai... but they do talk way too fast! hehehe!
