C.O.L.D

it's extremely cold this week. brrrr. the temperature will drop further towards the end of the week. thanked god for the flexibility of working from home. you have been wrapping yourself in thick and warm woolly, keeping yourself warm and comfortable.
one of the beauty of working from home is able to take a nice tea break. today, after a call with your manager, you decided to have a proper tea break. 
 so you set the tray, pick your favorite matcha powder. there is no namagashi to go with the tea as the way it is served in japanese tea ceremony. but you just substitute namagashi with the cny cookies.
you whisked up a cup of japanese green tea. the real high quality matcha that has a very refined bitter taste.
 and then take a moment to sip and bite on the pineapple tarts, kuih bangkit and peanut cookies...  they are all yummy especially interchange the sweetness of the cookies with the bitterness of the matcha...
love the moment, even though it is cold and freezing outside, you count it a blessing to be able to stay indoor and work from home.

but tomorrow will be another day, another story, you have to make a day trip to germany. you are not looking forward in such weather condition, but you will not complain because there's time and season for every activities under the sun. there's time when you work from home, there's time you have to travel. there's a period for really mild winter, and there's time for a week of extreme cold.
