Lost! Taken Shots in 2008 (Part 1)

-
I was flipping through my 2008 pictures captured and I was surpised to find a number of shots that I took did not get posted in my blog. Thus, before I continued posting photos taken in 2009, here are the photos that I have took and overlooked.

This is a sunset moment which I accidentally spotted from fort canning.

Yet another bee caught in "action"

Singapore Flyer! And I still haven't got the chance to take a ride in.. Have you?

The relocated Merlion still performing its duty!

And look who's there!

My microwave oven has been quite cranky (the plate doesn't rotate 90% of the time) so I tried using air fryer and it worked just fine! Air Fryer Setting - temperature @ 160C - timer set to 12 minutes This time round, I changed the recipe to Batch 1 : Ingredients a. 70g almond b. 20g pumpkin seeds c. 10g sunflower seeds d. 50g-70g florentine powder Batch 2: Ingredients a. 70g butter almond b. 20g pumpkin seeds c. 10g sunflower seeds d. 100g florentine powder Instruction: 1. In a large bowl, simply mixed almond, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds (ingredient a-c) and stir in florentine powder a tablespoon at a time for easier mixing. 2.
