		<title>Contemplative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
After 5 months of owning the coffee machine, I&#8217;m better at estimating when a shot pours whether it will taste good or not. There&#8217;s no scientific experiments, just subjective observations on what would taste better. I can get nice silky milk, but haven&#8217;t figured out how to get the really nice rosettas into a cup. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Was at a friend&#8217;s place over the weekend for dinner. Her aunt had made chicken rice for the lot of us and it was really tasty. It&#8217;s subtle how the flavours meld together and don&#8217;t seem to overwhelm you. I just find that the generation before me seem to make food taste good without over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starting March</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Was at a Pottery Expo in Warrandyte and while Vyanne and her friend looked at pottery pieces I was busy taking photos of the river just next to the expo. I keep my Slik tripod in the car and this is one of the few instances where having a tripod is absolutely necessary. Needed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coffee Notes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It will be a long while before I can achieve coffee art this good. It is all to do with texturing the milk to the right consistency. I find that the milk has to be a certain viscosity for you to pour latte art, so like they say, it should probably look like swirling paint.

		<title>Lethargy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Haven&#8217;t been taking any real photos of late. This green tea cheese cake was made by my cousin for her sister&#8217;s birthday, who shares the same birthday as my mom. I really should bring along my external flash for all these restaurant shots but while I&#8217;d get my ideal lighting solution, it would really destroy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Distractions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Flipped open my notes today to do a little studying and it didn&#8217;t really go too well. Getting distracted a little too easily these days. Just need to get the momentum going and I should be fine with studying. 
* * *
Due to nostalgia, just happy to lie in bed with a book in hand. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The lou sang prepared by Jun Kit for the Chinese New Year reunion dinner with my relatives. It was really tasty, and I&#8217;m curious how this dish came about and who would have thought that the respective ingredients would go together.

Need to rejig my schedule to fit in more activities. I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Wet Chinese New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Carols&#8217; satay and peanut sauce. Quite tasty. The new year is always about eating and catching up with family. Was at friend&#8217;s place on Friday night having dinner, with a variety of dishes and even home made lou sang. 
* * *
The weather&#8217;s been pretty wet of late. So much rain that certain parts of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Number Six</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I find that my taste profile for beers favour the darker ales, so when I picked up some White Rabbit to try (being a fan of other Little Creatures beers), I found it to be very good (in my opinion) and am currently a fan of it. It&#8217;s full of flavour with strong caramel notes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coffee At Every Corner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Stopped using my knockbox to get rid of coffee pucks due to the warm weather. The coffee pucks (as a very fertile environment) become mouldy pretty quickly, so I resorted to just knocking them out on my tamping mat. I then started stacking them up to make space for more coffee pucks when I made [...]]]></description>
