Why have an omelette when you can have a Chinese omelette?

This recipe is some what inspired by the street food in South East Asia and it's a must try for weekend brunch. Here's how you put it together. Also, missing from the picture below is a wok and mushrooms.

Fry your peppers, mushrooms and bacon until they are browned. Once they are cooked take them off the heat.

Mix together your eggs, spring onions some soy sauce, Chinese rice wine and sesame oil. Then mix in your browned bacon, mushrooms and peppers. Pout make into the wok and make your omelette.

Flip out your cooked omelette onto some flat bread, lay some already cooked chicken on it as well as some sweet chilli sauce, wrap up and dive in.

With the Olympics been such a roaring success I think that we as nation all looked at the meaning of success. The Olympians, whether they won a medal or not, evoked a feeling of hard work. It’s a contrast to the culture we live in: go on a reality TV show and get famous, quick.

“The How Bad Do You Want It?” video for me, sums up success perfectly. The video has been shot wonderfully, the voice over is powerful; the tone is pitch perfect. The video, which shows an athlete pushing himself to his physical limits, waking up early, training until late, feeling pain, speaks to us all. I like the fact that at the end of the video you don’t see the athlete win any awards, he just stands on a hill looking reflective. Maybe it's supposed to speak a bigger message like, “It’s not the end result that counts but the process, the journey.”

The other video is by the New York based film-maker Casey Neistat, called “Make It Count.” Nike hired the film-maker to create the commercial for the Nike FuelBand worn by various sporting mega stars. This epic video shows Casey go to 13 countries on three different continents in 10 days. Every so often you get a powerful quote show up. My favourite was by Eleanor Roosevelt which read, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” One of the reasons I’m such a fan of this video is because I am a travel enthusiast, but even if packing a back-pack and jumping on a random flight isn’t your thing, you still can’t help but be inspired by this piece

So when a Japanese girl got a flight from Korea to London and she sat by an Italian man, they decided to exchange emails. And then, they decided to exchange numbers, and then.....3 years later, they decided to get married. And so....when I was given the chance to go to their wedding in Milan - because my parents were in Kerala - I jumped at it. Here are a few pics from the lovely Italian city.

Oh and a few things about Milan:

1. I would stay for about 3/4 days, that's sufficient

2. The transport from the airport to the centre is cheap and quick

3. The food is, of course, lovely! The cafes are wonderful.

4. Everyone looks perfect so be prepared.

5. Go to The Forma

6. Make sure you climb to the top of The Duomo

7. For accommodation I highly recommend staying here
