Done with Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. Next up, C++ and.... Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

On another note, I present! My birthday wish list in no particular order. (Except for the miumiu bag that I've been lusting over for the longest time, That's 1st!). The rest are...as you like it:)

1. Miumiu bow satchel (Black)
2. New leather straps for my BCBGMaxaria Watch .. Yes the current satin leather straps are falling apart. :( to my dismay
3. A lifetime's supply of Apple juice. Very Random I know
4. Kate Spade name card holder
5. Royce chocolates
6. More pairs of ballet flats. Repetto anyone?
7. Ear Phones -Bose/seinheiser/ my current apple ones suck and they are falling well apart.
8. Musical notes/ Treble clef shaped cufflinks
9. Awesome Ravioli at greenwood ave or yummy jap food at fairmont Inagiku

Thats all folks. That renders my cloud no 9

I love mooncakes, but never really liked those with the 'snowskin', there was a point in time where i actually detested the taste of snowskins (age 10 perhaps). To be perfectly honest, to me, the best mooncakes are those with the nicely baked brown skin, no yolk. Just the humble lotus seed paste with its unpretentious overlay.

Actually, take away the lotus paste, just give me the yummy brown mooncake skins.

I would settle for those 'little caged pigs' readily..(very much like mooncake skin)

There is however a certain mooncake I cannot get enough of. The Raffles Hotel Champagne truffle mooncake. Comes in a nice vintage styled tin box which is different every year (yes go crazy collectors). With it's perfectly thinned skin, just the right quantity of lotus paste, and its white truffle chocolate center that does more than melt in your mouth. This little piece of heaven is..nothing short of DIVINE.

And champagne, "my only regret in life is that I didn't drink enough Champagne"
John Maynard Keynes

mmmm

Current Read: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

Oh the dissension of Art vs Nature, Aesthetics vs Ethics. And that tinge of forbidden, or stall i say a rather overt injection of homosexuality. Very very entertaining.

Now here's a quote taken from Chapter 1 -It talks about Physiognomy -which is a believe that an individual's appearance, in particular their face, reveals character.

"But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration and destroys the harmony of any face" ...."Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are!"
