Reasons to smile

1. I love watching cooking shows where they follow the chef buying ingredients - its reassuring to know that the ingredients actually exist and not just a bunch of made up names....

2. I love birthdays! Not so much my own - it can get a little bit awkward when people celebrate you for achieving nothing except surviving another year - but I do love celebrating my friends' birthdays. For Laurentia's birthday - instead of cake, we found these absolutely fabulous cupcakes!

delightful!

3. I recently acquired a nifty Instax mini polaroid camera - and loving it. Ps: no need to "shake it like a polaroid picture"...... Take pics and give them to friends - its a great gift idea, decorate your wall or fridge with the pictures or create a scrapbook to remember the good times.

4. Modern day Korea is a concrete jungle but amongst the skyscrapers lies little gems of ancient Korean architecture - happy moment for me.

5. Last, but definitely not least - Mrs Kim, the art teacher from my previous school and super sweet friend made a caricature of me. I can't tell you how much I've always wanted one of these - just to see which of my features would be exaggerated. Kamsahamnida Mrs Kim!I love it.....
