1940s.

Dear Friend,
Do these lyrics sound familiar?

"You must remember this
   A kiss is still a kiss
   A sigh is just a sigh
   The fundamental things apply
   As time goes by"

Don't you miss the 1940s...well, you probably weren't born yet, well, neither was I. But don't you ever wonder what it was like? How people lived? What the lifestyle was? I recently revisited those times by watching Casablanca. It's definitely one of my favorite movies. Even though I know it's probably not a good way to interpret the way of life back then but it sure gave me glimpse of it. Some examples would be the airplanes, cars, even the piano that Sam played. It's all so classic. But one thing that I don't want to forget to mention is the way that they dress. It's so wonderful. I hope you get a chance to revisit those times like I did but until then, "here's looking at you kid".

LS

Mmmm...Pumpkin pie.

Dear Halloween Ghouls and Mummies,

I recently came across a simple recipe of making a pumpkin pie and I thought that
it would be nice to share it with you.

Recipe:
1/2-pumpkin, 1 tablespoon-Sugar, 10g-butter, A little-Cinnamon Sugar, 2 Sheet
(10cm x 19cm)-Frozen Pie Dough, 1-Egg Yok


Take out your frozen
dough and leave for
30 minutes (you can
make your own dough
if you want)
Cut pumpkin in 1/2
and spoon out the seeds.
Place the pumpkin in a
container and microwave
for 3 minutes
After it's been heated,
peel off the skin, mash
the pumpkin in to a paste,
mix in sugar, butter, and
cinnamon sugar

Cut each pie sheet into
4 pieces totaling 8 pieces.
Use a knife to cut slits on
to 4 of the pieces, those
will be the top of the pie.
Use a spoon to scoop
the paste that we made
earlier on to the 4 base
sheet of the pie.

Place the top sheet on
the base and paste and
use a fork to press down
on the edges. Do it for all
4 edges of all 4 pies.

Mix the egg yolk in
a bowl and then lightly
brush the the yolk on
to the surface of the
pies.

Preheat the oven at
250°C. Bake for 10
minutes. The pies are
ready when they are
golden brown like the
pic below.
Simple and Tasty.






Have a Happy Halloween Everyone!

Feeling Nostalgic

Dear Friend,

After weeks of deliberation, I've finally started this blog, my little space shop. Don't get me wrong, it's not like there's a shop (not yet anyway) nor is there anything to sell, but instead, I'm looking for a space to express myself, my sense of nostalgia. Don't worry, I'm not going to reminisce about my past, my old high school nerd days or the time I flushed my underwear down the toilet by accident. No, I'm not going to do that, but I am going to share to you my opinion about how we can live a peaceful life. My job's not a philosopher nor is it a psychologist and I don't have the meaning of life up my sleeves(I wish I did!). But, I am a space designer. I look at the spaces that people live in and find ways to make it better. I create pieces of art from people's lives. I also romanticize everything. I like old fashion things. I like antiques and of course old television shows. I'll try to upload something next time so what I'm saying will be a little bit more interesting.

Sincerely,
LS
