Meet my new comic character 'OMeow' (O喵)!

OMeow was borne on 24 June 09. I wanted to start my own comic since few years back, too bad I do not know how to draw with computer software.


Friends who long know me will definately not surprise to see me drawing again. I love to draw cartoon characters, but haven't done that for more than 16 years.


If you love OMeow, please leave some message to show your support!


Thanks!! :)

咖啡布丁甜点 *Coffee Flan

本来是应该要用炼奶的，但我怕做出来后会太甜，自己换了鲜奶加适量的白糖；另外我也没加vanila 香精。虽然味道和口感都很好，但买点失败了。我很喜欢这一道甜品，因为是咖啡味的。下一次会再接再厉的了！我为自己加油！

即溶咖啡..... 2 茶匙

水..... 1 茶匙

鸡蛋..... 5 粒

vanila香精..... 1 茶匙

aluminum 杯

1. 把糖加入热锅中，再加水煮至白糖完全溶解，颜色变成褐色为此。

2. 然后在每一个aluminum杯里倒入大概一汤匙的焦糖。

B. 咖啡布丁:

1. 先把炉给热了，热度维持在2.5号或160摄氏。

7. 把所有的aluminum 杯放在烤炉盘里，再把热水倒入烤炉盘内。把整个烤炉盘放入烤炉里烤大概15-20分钟。再取出之前可以晃一晃aluminum杯子。要是布丁没晃，这代表布丁已经熟了。

8. 从烤炉盘里移开aluminum 杯子。

9. 冷却后再把布定放入雪柜里。

圣岛冒险记 – 到Akrotiri灯塔看日落 *Exploring Santorini – Sunset at Akrotiri Lighthouse (4 June 09)

Akrotiri 的灯塔位于圣岛南部的最为端。这座灯塔历史拥久，由法国人建立于1892年，被记载为世界上的历史灯塔。在第二世界大战的时候这座灯塔的灯第一次熄灭，直到1945年灯塔才再次发出亮灯，为海上的船指引路。如今它会在每10秒发出一次白灯。

由于灯塔位于圣岛的最为端，也位于悬崖边，前面是一片无阻的爱情海。能在悬崖边找个位子坐下来等日落时最好不过的了。

Akrotiri Light House is placed at the most south of the entire island, indeed it was the end point of Santorini. It is one of the world’s oldest lighthouses. It was built by French in 1892, the light stayed dead during World War II. The lighthouse was in used again in 1945. Today it flashes a white light in every 10 seconds. There is nothing blocking the sea view, thus this is one of the best places to view sunset in Akrotiri.

找个漂亮的位子等日落。

太阳越靠近地平线的时候，光线会越来越集中，发出的光芒也因而没那么刺眼。

看着美丽的咸鸭蛋掉进海里，这种享受一生人能有几次？

当天晚上因为无所事事，我们驾车到Fira 小镇去见识Fira的夜生活。半路还载了一对背包的老人。

We drove to Fira on the same night. On the way we picked up a pair of backpackers.

这里的精品店卖的东西价钱都很公道，比Oia的便宜。
You may find souvenirs are cheaper in Fira than in Oia.

因为我喜欢每到一个地方一定要买一个冰厨吸铁的习惯，又或者当地有什么闻名的古迹的话我也会把它的模型买下，我在Fira也买下了一些小礼物给自己。现在冰厨上已经贴着21个从不同地方来的冰厨吸铁了，还在努力收集中。。。。
I have the habit of buying fridge magnets and some mini monuments from every place I went. I have collected 21 fridge magnets from all over Europe…

好久没看到这个卡通了。很可爱的快餐馆。
Obelix is a Greek fast food restaurant, selling kebabs, pita and other Greek food.

圣岛也有卖很多首饰。首饰上的石头多数都是火山溶浆过后形成的宝石。
Most stones are formed from magma.

这个家里装的夜灯很可爱！

喜欢这家服装店的装潢。

这就是我们当晚的晚餐+宵夜。因为午饭4 点才吃，所以晚上11点了我们才开始找吃的。在某某小店面前看到挤满了人，跑过去一看原来这里卖烧烤。买了2串猪肉、3串鸡肉还有一条满肚子都是乳酪的香肠。哇！赞！这家的souvlaki 最赞！说实在的，串烧肉和其他家的餐厅比较记来是普普通通，但这家用的酱料则是一流的！酸酸的、又香香的，超好吃！因为口味有一点酸，所以即使吃很多肉也不会觉得腻，这就是它厉害的地方。想不到那么好吃的东西竟然卖得那么便宜！猪肉一串只卖€1.50, 鸡肉€2.00， 香肠€1.00一个。基本上一串鸡肉和一串猪肉已经把我的胃撑开、饱的受不了了！太好吃了！我们在这家买了3次呢！
We had this for dinner/supper. This is the best souvlaki we had in Santorini, the only one that grilled souvlaki with charcoal! We love the sauce; it was so special, with very nice aroma and tastes a bit sour! Pork souvlaki was selling at €1.50 each, chicken was €2.00 each and sausages stuffed with cheese were selling at €1 each. I only need a pork souvlaki and a chicken souvlaki to stuff my stomach full! It is served with free grill garlic bread. Had this charcoal grilled souvlaki 3 times! It was too delicious!

猪肉souvlaki.

鸡肉souvlaki和乳酪香肠。面包是免费的！
Chicken souvlaki.

一大口、一大口吃，爽！真的很想念这家的souvlaki.

一定要人好是这家哦！这有这家的souvlaki是碳烧的，其他家的都是电烧的，所以味道方面会差很多。
This is the only shop selling charcoal grilled souvlaki. Must try!
