【思考。Think】苦也不过如此。Bitterness is as normal

尝试过苦的味道，就会知道苦也只不过如此，没什么好可怕的。
After you have tasted the bitterness, you will know that bitterness is as normal and nothing to be afraid of.

【思考。Think】还没开始就别放弃。Don't give up before you even start

如果还没有开始，就因为有的没的而放弃，会不会很傻呢？如果能够在一堆负面批评里闯出来，终极感觉一定会好过躲躲避避的无奈。
If you choose to give up before you even get started, isn't it silly? If you are able to walk out out an environment full of negative critism, the ultimate feeling will definitely be better than the helplessness feeling from hiding.

[Tea Appreciation] Steaped tea boutique

I am a tea lover. I am especially love western tea, which typically has its tea mixed with dried fruits, dried flowers or dried herbs that provide additional aroma to the tea.

Encounter with Steaped, is like meeting the right one. Finally, I found the tea mixed with fresh plants (fruits, herbs, flowers). How excited!

Steaped has wide range of teas especially blended teas. There are also pure herbs drinks and pure tea drinks. Their tea leaves are mainly imported from foreign countries. They have a list of signature drinks which are mainly blended teas with fruits, herbs or flowers, just like this lemongrass grind.

I like that they are being sincere. They blend the tea with fresh ingredients in their signature drinks. Lemongrass tea, for example, does not taste as great when blended with dried lemongrass. Steaped blends it with fresh lemongrass, the freshness of the lemongrass in the lemongrass grind is so strong and aromatic that it feels healthy to drink it. It is tallied with their website information, where they are creating healthy drinks. Cool! :)

I would say Steaped's blended teas are very unique, at least I haven't discover any tea drinks blended with fresh ingredients in anywhere in Malaysia nor other countries that I went (Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and South East Asia). If you do, please let me know. :)

If you like blended tea like me, go try their signature drinks today. :) They sell loose tea as well, do bring back some if you like their teas. :) You can locate them here, they are now in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Velocity Mall and One Utama Shopping Mall.

[Tea Appreciation] Tangerine Green Tea

It was a lonely Sunday morning. I decided to enjoy this lonely moment elegantly with my favourite tea at my favourite spot of the house the kitchen island on my favourite white bar stool. I heated up the cinnamon donuts, took out the long hidden tea set partially and put some loose tea leaves into the tea pot. After pouring in some hot water to the pot and waited for few minutes, I was set for my breakfast. :) 

Name: Samdayeon Jeju Tangerine

Brand: Osulloc Jeju Island

Feeling: Elegant mix of tangerine and green tea. Personally, I think it is best drank cold after brewing it for > 24hrs in fridge at water-tea ratio of 2 liters : 2 teaspoons. The aroma of the tea will be optimized and soothing drink from cooled down liquid. To drink it hot, better follow the instruction provided on the packaging itself, i.e. 300ml 90C water with 3 teaspoons of tea leaves for 2 minutes to serving. If too long, the drink will become too acidic. Either way, you won't get disappointed with this blended tea. The tea drinking experience is enhanced with the adequate tangerine in it. :)

Oslond Jeju Island describes this blended tea as following:

A post-fermented tea that blends both the deep aromatics of a cedar tree and the refreshing element of a citrus sudachi. A Jeju Tangerine is added to this exceptional post-fermented tea, which is matured in a cedar barrel. This tea delivers a refreshingly clear taste of Jeju Island with the combination of verdant hints and the tangerine's juicy essence. 

【爱阅读】欣想事成系列

我读了两本她的书，欣想事成ii&iii，很轻松的读物。无厘头的来也很有指导性。读着这本书的时候，就好像在听欣怡讲话一样，简直没两样。里边很有她说话的风格，很幽默，很有趣，也很舒服。

其实没什么注意两本欣想事成的内容是什么，应该都是关于工作，关于人际关系的，关于生活的吧。比较记得心想事成iii有一撮是关于两性关系的，因为很特别也很大胆。有趣！

如果想要找个休闲读物，可以读读她的欣想事成系列。包你觉得有趣也会很消遣。😊
