My "Minimal" Dream

One of my dream is to live as minimal as I can. When I say minimal, it means
1. only have the things I need.
2. minimize usage of utilities.
3. pay less.
4. save more.
5. learn and re-learn what contentment is.

Do you think a house like Jay Shafer's Tumbleweed will suffice and make my dream come true?

Fire Place


While doing my lipozene reviews, Nok and I got hungry and we went into Fire Place (a Japanese restaurant) at Emporium to eat. Thanks for the treat Nok. :)

Fire Place is so opposite from Nuea Yang Kao Ri, a cheap bbq buffet a group of us went to recently. Of course because the price and environment tells of how much your pocket are expected to spend too. At Fire Place, Nok and I were really pleased with the bbq stove. Modern, heats up fast, burns fast and without smell too! We ordered a buffet set which cost about 450B-550B which comes with raw cut vegetables, 2 bowls of rice and a plate of raw beef meat. What I really enjoyed was the tongue meat. Nok and Hobbit (who joined us later on) didn't like it but they could tell that I just love cow's tongue. It runs in the family and needless for further explanation. I couldn't find tongue anywhere else but this restaurant and boy did my face lit up! :)
I would recommend this restaurant if you like bbq-ing food. Moderate to expensive money wise.

I Could Stop Wanting If I Try...

My counter ticker says 6 days to my next travel! I so need to go somewhere badly...Escape from my daily routine and just soak myself where good companies and food knows no time...! The only way for me to escape right now is through books that I'm currently reading. No complaining now, I know holiday just started and I'm sure it will be a good one.

Today I am suppose to do some cleaning work at home, mainly my make-up desk. Too messy with empty bottles, balms all over and you name it! I also have this acne cream that a friend bought from the States and supposedly to be given to her sister that made me thought of the best acne treatment my circle of friends have been raving about....needed to be checked out. Arrgh...girls. Why do we have to have so much clutters all around the house?? Think about it, we can make do with most of the things we purchase but why the want non-stop?? If you happen to have the answer to this question....Readers, you are the only person who fully understands women. :)

Dim Sum Restaurant

A restaurant at the mall that Hobbit and I frequent to is Dim Sum Restaurant. It's a Chinese-Thai fusion restaurants with lots of Chinese dishes on the menus. Despite what's on the menu, both of us like the way food is cooked here...with firey wok ala. so Chinese style.

Surrounded by steel buildings, the Mall Ramkhamhaeng is convenient for people like us to visit if we needed to get groceries or to just pop up for food. Back to the Dim Sum Restaurant, we particularly love all the greens they cook there. Like their sayur manis dish, it's just either oyster sauce/mushroom sauce and garlic that went into the frying pan and viola! Another dish is the heart shaped leafy vegetable that I don't quite know the name but the point is....Everytime we looked to our left and to our right, there's always 2-3 customers ordering the same vegetables dishes that we like! Dim sum wise, not bad. :)

Cuppings

Hobbit and I love TCM cuppings. It's like your skin is being pulled tight during the process and when the cups are being pulled off, you literally feel like your body has just been replace to a brand new one. I've done it twice so far.
