I like Wednesdays.
I like them because we are now only 2 days away from the glorious weekend, and tomorrow is late night shopping which means ...... NO cooking!!
HAPPY MID WEEK EVERYONE!

A nostalgic moment please.....
An old friend of mine sent me pictures of Gion Festival, an annual event that is currently celebrated in the city of Kyoto (which I will post separately).
If you remember, same time last year, I posted pictures of the festival in my July 05 blog and did a short but (hopefully) detailed enough snippet about the festival. So if you want to read more about the purpose and origins of Gion Festival, you know where to look.
Cause I want to go down memory lane today. =)
This old friend and I (not forgetting another, we were 3) go way back. Way back to the days where long pigsy tails and neat pleads were our main and only focus in life. Back to the time where silly ideas like holding hands while swinging together on the swings in our neighborhood playground in demonstration of our friendship bond was our after school afternoon ambition. And acting out little skids that we wrote (mostly inspired by the movie Jaws.. haha.. it was huge back than alright!!), performing to an invisible audience only to end up belly up with laughter was how life was meant to be. haha.
I cannot help but smile when I think about our childhood memories. The hours spent with our ears glued to the earpiece of the phone, the countless sleepover nights and silly “before and after” makeover sessions we performed on each other. Hahaha… what sweet memories.
Years have gone by now and we are all grown up and adult like. So much so that 2 of my 0ldest friends are now mums and living out their lives in worlds that are apart from mine. But that unspoken bond once demonstrated by physic, now replaced by long distance silence broken only once a year when we made a pack to meet up in our motherland Singapore to fill in the gaps of stories and misadventures of life.
What sweet memories to live for and be surrounded by. I suddenly feel like a millionaire. No. Billionaire! Only that money can never buy the glow I am feeling right now. *BEAM*

A blog about nothing and secret world domination dreams!
About 1 & 1/2 years ago I decided to start a blog. I named it Imperial Salts:
Imperial: a character in my mandarin name that shyly screams royalty.
And Salts: because it was to be my electronic scrapbook of the little and insignificant things that season my life.
I did not have any big plans for it as I have neither any real political views and violent strong opinion of the ways of the world to share, nor dramatic life experiences for readers to indulge in or learn from. It was plainly the simple things in life that made me smile, or fume with frustration or ball up and just have a sulk over.
My readers were (or still are) a group of close friends that I find hard to catch up with on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis due to either impossibilities in the geographical sense or simply because we are all grown ups now and have our own little lives to run.
Whatever reasons it may be, I have gown very fond of this little hobby of mine (though sadly work has taken me away from it more often than I like these days) and in some ways, deep down inside, I am starting to secretly hope that perhaps word would have gotten out about this blog named Imperial Salts and it has started to spread far and wide! And perhaps I even dare secretly hope that in some ways, some 10,000miles away from home, someone is reading my little unassuming blog and having a smile or a frown or even a sulk the very same time as me.
Please spread the word!
Happy reading....!!
