It's that time of the year again..
為了蘇格蘭經濟起飛的歲月盡過不少力,最投入的自然是推進經濟。盡全力地消費,也就是購物了！
煩惱又來了。。 問題是要想買甚麼禮物 and try my very best to minimize my tight budget!!
But the thing with getting gift is that I tend to buy things that I like more than the receiver, which means there is a higher chance that I ended up buying it for myself!! And most of the time, I have absolutely no idea what to get!!!
"Oh, get him something that he likes the most!" [But wont that be like so predictable and boring? 一點新鮮感都沒有！］
"Why not just get her something that you like and hope for the best?" [Risky... unless the Jap have invented the one-fit-all-sizes dild_.]
"I am not sure about that color. Maybe it's too loud for him. Here, black is safe!" [true fact, whenever in doubt, get the black color!]
The above are common advices that we often hear/give when we go present hunting. But to me, it all comes down to age old questions:
Substances or Style?
In order to help my beloved friends, I made list of things to get for me and things not to get for me!!
To get for me list:
This is the sweet and sour pork that I made. The batter didn't turn out as expected as I used the wrong one (tempura batter).. But the sauce was not too bad.
