rap / poetry slam

I've heard rap music mostly when it's about messed up issues or being featured in certain songs. I've not paid much attentions to this genre of music until I've recently came across a few that I really like. They are different from those I heard before and the lyrics are much more meaningful I really would consider them poetry instead. I hope you give these a listen and you may change your thought about rap music like I did!

Blue are the feelings that live inside me

Blue are the feelings that live inside me

Dead dreams in my heart catered the seed of bitterness

That grows into vines wrapped tight around my heart

Stopping it from nurturing a budding hope

A drop of dew came down one day

Signifying the possibility of anew

Too little influence it had on the dead soil

But it loosened the cluttered vine a little

The heart tried to make a slower beat

Exploring the new room around it

It seems like déjà vu

And somehow less blue

Culinary Session

Hi all! How are you doing? From the news I saw snowstorms are hitting a number of countries in Europe while it's such a sunny day here! I guess that's what living in a sub-tropical area brings!

I'm still having my break from school for another week. I've been relaxing lately and during the time I tried cooking something up! I've always found cooking interesting in general, I enjoy watching food programmes. I don't have an oven at home which is quite unusual in other countries where ovens are staple kitchen tools. I attempted dishes which oven is not required.

Over the years, I've tried making simple puddings and desserts using very simple ingredients and steps. Recently, two of friends suggested cooking together one day so we tried something one step up. We had fun just trying things out, improvising the process and just excited to see how the end products came out! Pictures below are our end products of the day!
