4 days and counting...

This weekend the Good Food and Wine Show was held... um, oki i was there for the food, gadgets, equipment, knives, and chocolate of course (not the wine, just to clarify i'm not a drinker). The show is held annually at the CTICC and it is really gives you the opportunity to:




  1. learn something new with regard to food, ingredients, presentation etc


  2. buy nice foodie mags or books


  3. check out latest food gadgets


  4. buy some really nice things, unusual things (chocolate, chocolate, chocolate :P)


  5. get knives and goodies at cut prices


  6. meet international / local food heroes (restauranteurs, tv chefs, food experts etc)


  7. have fun tasting all the fantastic freebies!


*All of the above refers to people who are crazy about food, whether you enjoy eating it, lounging on the couch and watching the foodie network, cooking up a storm or just drooling at the lovely bakery/confectionary spot...

Either way, it's fun for everyone:)

Yeh i got sum nice things, but tried not to buy unnecessary.. one of my favorite buys had to be the chilli-choc crunchy stuff.. dEElicious

Here's sum of the chefs i met. . . i might add my pics at a later stage... BUT these ones are ones i got off the net..

From top to bottom:

James Martin;

Ross Burden & Reto Mathis;

Alan Coxon

and Mr Gennaro Contaldo





Moving along to matters at hand.... 1-3 june marks the hobby-X show/exhibition.. hence the "4 days and counting" title... Ever since we started with our weekend scrap classes that was always a topic, so yeh this week we'll be attending the exhibition (hopefully, and hopefully we won't be disappointed) Because, like i always say, looking forward to something usually ends up disappointing or does not happen at all..(and no i'm not a Pessimist)



As the name implies hobby-X, the show entails all things craft-ish, pertaining to hobby(ies) and boasts it's 10th year anniversary. I have, however, only attended the past two years' shows but came home with some exciting things..



This year i have a list of things i need to look out for BUT i need to keep in mind not to spend the money i'm saving for a decent camera... i have been using my mobile phone camera - altho the pics are "not too shabby hey nige", well they're decent pics cos its a 2megapixel cam..



So yes, i really want to buy a camera and maybe i could do that short photography course..



OMG, the creativity bug has bitten!There's no gettin away from it.
