Bugs and Beeps

2 bugs and 2 dragon beeps (soft shutter release)

Yes I'm preparing for the X10... heheh

Modified Nutella Cake In 90 seconds (+++)

It definitely took way more than 90 seconds to make this. I actually got this recipe from here which linked to here, who got the recipe from here (... thank goodness for rebloggers I guess?). It looked simple enough so I had a go.

I didn't have any cocoa powder at home, so I used the next best thing - Milo Fuze 3-in-1. This also eliminated the need to add any sugar, the instant pack milo is sweet enough.

Ingredients
1) 1 tablespoon (and a bit more) of Nutella
2) 1 heaping tablespoon of flour
3) half teaspoon baking powder
4) 1 packet Milo Fuze 3-in-1
5) 1egg (beaten)

Mix everything together and put the mixture into a microwaveable bowl or container. Set the microwave to 70% and set the timer for 40-60 seconds. I initially set 30 seconds but nothing happened. So I set another 20 seconds and saw the thing 'rise'. It's mostly trial and error, watch it closely to see it still retains that moistness.

Ta-da! Yes, it's as delicious as it looks. Seriously! Will add a scoop of ice cream next time I make this.

Fujifilm X10, I can't remember the last time I've been this tempted by a digital camera...

X10

Well to be fair, I was a bit tempted when it's elder brother, the X100, was launched but the price was a turn off. This one may be a stripped down version of the X100, but there are some things I like about it - Full HD video mode and zoom lens.

It seems I may have to clear out my dry cabinet to make a space for this fella...

How Come I Didn't Notice This Before?

A customer was returning some strips of blood pressure medications he had bought from me earlier because there wasn't a need for it anymore. He's one of the very few people who has managed to control his BP and come off the medications.

So I was checking to see if the medications have already expired and I noticed something...

Top to bottom : Spade, Heart, Square, Asterisk, Pentagon

See those symbols next to the batch number? Has it always been there? Why didn't I notice this before? There are 2 sets of each symbol in a box of 10 strips. This is the first time I've seen something like this and I think it's quite cute. Anyone else noticed this?
