Pancakes for breakfast!

Decided to make pancakes for breakfast one morning so without any formal recipe, I used these ingredients:

• 250g plain flour
• 300ml water
• 100g sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp soya bean oil

Method:

1. Mix flour and water.
2. Mix in the sugar, baking soda and baking powder.
3. Add the 2 eggs, mix well.
4. Add the soya bean oil, mix well.
5. Heat up some oil in a pan.
6. Pour enough batter to cover the base of the pan.
7. Let the pancake cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown underneath.
8. Flip the pancake and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
9. Repeat steps 6 to 8 until all the batter is used up.
10. Eat the pancakes with honey, sugar, kaya, peanut butter, Nutella or plain, and enjoy! :)

I hope you dance

A friend shared this song with me and it’s really encouraging to me for the things I’m going through right now. :) Thanks friend.

Ronan Keating – I Hope You Dance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbJruWd6bmU&ob=av2n

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’

Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

Dance!! (time is wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)
I hope you dance
I hope you’re dancing
I hope you’re dancing
I pray you’re dancing
I hope you dance

Without Love

“Without love, a marvellous speech is just meaningless sounds;

Without love, spiritual excellence is just sparse emptiness;

Without love, charitable acts are just cheesy attempts.

To love is to be patient, kind, contented, humble;

To love is to avoid being rude, selfish, hot-tempered or judgemental.

Love avoids evil but is attracted to truth.

Love always (protects + trusts + hopes + perseveres).

Love always passes with flying colours; and prophecies, tongues and knowledge will stand in awe of its perfection.”

- Natasha’s version of 1 Corinthians 13:1-8.
