Bad New Zealand food puns

Would that be beef wellington? I suppose if it’s in New Zealand it must be a mutton wellington right? Tee and as well as that hee!

In all seriousness though, I’d love to visit Wellington. I’ve been to Auckland for an afternoon (long story) but that’s it. Maybe it’s just because I’m hungry.

An Irish sandwich refuge in Singapore

Singapore’s getting quite a lashing this morning, so my dad and I have camped out at the O’Brien’s sandwich bar at Jelita. Back when my school had its campus at Ulu Pandan, I’d go to Jelita all the time for Pizza Hut. Now it’s an Irish sandwich shop, go figure :)

UPDATE: Typical, I hit the Draft button instead of Publish, again! The timestamp for the photo was around 10am today.

Fun Facts!

Another one of our beloved Rubénerd Fun Facts. Put the brick down.

"Tunafish sandwiches" have a supefluous word.

And a related fact:

Ruben can’t spell superfluous.

[Anime] Tsumugi pickled radish!

Tsumugi pickled radish

What does Mugi do after a tiring day of playing keyboards on the set of a wildly successful anime series? She endorses pickled radish!

If I saw this in a store I would definitely buy it, the only reason being that I tried this food once before and really liked it. Yeah, that’s the only reason. Judge me however you want.

DéLonghi Magnifica loud noises fixed!

The DéLonghi Magnifica

I’ve been so busy catching up and doing fun stuff on my trip back to Singapore I haven’t blogged as much in the last few days, though given my overarching verbosity you probably all think that’s a good thing :). In this post I regale you not with a tale of software or technology but with a coffee machine brought back from the dead!

[Anime] Kallen Stadtfeld‎ has a cute cupcake

Cute Kallen cupcake background

While it wasn’t my favourite anime series in and of itself, Kallen Stadtfeld‎ from Code Geass and Code Geass R2 is one of my favourite characters of all time. Perhaps it’s the whole double personality thing or the fact she could be a super duper underground figure while still being a sweet person. ^^;

My second bread baking attempt

Another homemade bread loaf attempt

Today was another extremely stressful stuyding and family related problems kind of day, so I decided to step away from the computer again for an hour or so and bake some more bread. Anyone who has ever been a roommate of mine knows I can’t cook, but bread is forgiving enough that even if you mess up the recipe and/or cooking time its still a lot of fun and still ends up tasting great.
