For those of you who are considering buying a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera for the first time, do consider getting hold of one of these bookazines in the N-Photo series (published by Future Publishing Limited) to read. This specifically titled handbook explains in detail the functions of a basic Nikon DSLR camera as well as some simple photography tricks to use in different photography situations (refer to ‘100 Nikon DSLR tips you need to know right now‘).
The mid of the autumn season is arriving soon, in less than two weeks’ time. That is when we will be celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival – on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. That is also when we will be eating mooncakes and drinking tea under the watchful eyes of Chang’e, the goddess of the moon, and her pet rabbit.
Last year, I made mooncake piglets in its full form and shape as gifts for my family and friends. This year, I’m trying something that’s similar yet a little bit different – mooncake piglet cookies. These are flatter in shape and do not have white lotus paste, resembling those that are sold in colourful baskets at the local neighbourhood bakeries.
Crunch! Crunch! Oink! Oink!
Another culinary tool acquisition as a result of the frenzy purchases made in the preceding two weeks – mooncake piglet moulds in three different shapes and sizes!
I recently received a gift with utmost joy. It is the Nespresso U coffee machine – the latest Nespresso machine in town. 😛
