是一个美好的一天。睡到9点,赖在床上想着昨天也真是美好的一天。唱着歌与神父说话,再用彩色笔记下心中的感触。 发电邮给社工系其中最喜欢的教授,做一点admin,哦,是午餐时间了。肚子饿了。 把最讨厌吃的香蕉切成片,放进烤炉里要烘干,便出去了。 在口福吃幼面,不知为什么特别好吃。去Giant买做蛋糕的材料回家,啊,好久没烘焙了。打着牛油的声音好好听,扑鼻而来的蛋糕香让我知道味道一定不错。 是真的很不错 😙   把蛋糕切了放进盒子里准备明天带给朋友和家人,想到他们吃的样子有开心的感觉。匆忙赶到荣耀堂赴约,本来因为第一次和牧师说话还有些心急,不过聊了超过一个小时。感恩。 Banana Squares with Nutella (adapted from here )    2 1/2 cups flour (280g flour) 250g butter 1 1/3 cup castor sugar 4 bananas 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 4 eggs About 1/4 cup Nutella 1.

I haven't gotten a reply to my letters, which meant they either were censored or got lost. This got me thinking again about how different people's lives in the world can be. It is a source of inspiration, looking at the cheerful way that tan youngish man at the busy coffeeshop made the teh and kopi, and the cheerful banter between the 2 Chinese ladies at the counter.
