| ““One strong cup of tea is better than twenty weak ones. All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes.” --George Orwell... How would you like you tea, dears?  |
| I ordered a pot of Earl Grey and a Strawberry Mousse Cake, to be matched with my fuchsia sack-dress w/ creamy vanilla elbow-sleeves ;) |
“The very act of preparing and serving tea encourages conversation.
The little spaces in time created by teatime rituals call out to be filled with conversation.
Even the tea itself–warm and comforting-inspires a feeling of relaxation
and trust that fosters shared confidences.”
--Emilie Barnes, If Teacups Could Talk

Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea.
The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos,
the fountains are bubbling with delight,
the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle.
Let us dream of evanescence,
and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.

and...how about "Something fishy"!!!

| A cozy & comfy corner for two @ our favourite rendezvous café :) Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. ~Author Unknown |

How was my very first feeling once dipping my feet in the fish tank?
Wouldn't you like to know, huh? ;)
...Wouldn't you like to know, huh? ;)
It was such a tingling feeling...not the kind of electric shock but rather like your feet are lightly poked with needles...so lightly that you feel no pain at all...like a fine vibration all over your feet...grrrrrrr
...
Those foreign passersby stopped by the fish tank to take a close look at how those so called doctor fish work on our feet... There was a Swiss couple, making fun of us by asking if we would put sugar in the tank...
My cousin said <<no>>
...Then I followed <<We'd definitely feed them with coffee later...they look oh-so sleepy!!!>>
Oh...Poor fish! ;)
