It’s terribly easy to make me happy - two skinny ice lattes from Highlander does the trick. Of course this is only possible if M orders his macadamia latte, and I steal enough sips from it to keep me within budget teehee. Easy peasy… M reckons tt his taste is decent enough to tell that a Highlander latte is worth his own order (he never orders one for himself and prefers to sip from me!). So now I’m happy!

Yo yo momo

These are awfully back-logged. These pictures come from my spanking new GF2 - an amazing present from my mom. <3

I was skinnier here but you can’t tell because I might just be lying, no? Haha here is M and I on a random Saturday in June. We have to have dimsum at least once a month, and I like to over-order while he hates picking up after my mess.

I must order har gao, and he loves them oyster mushrooms. I always tease him into ordering char siew baos because its his thing. Then we go crazy and order whatever we feel like eating but my stomach can never cope with how much we order. He secretly likes having more food to store in his cheeks, really. 

We seem happy, no? Yeap we were happy then. 

 

24 years of grace

I have many birthday plans.

  • I want to have a Mexican dinner (all done by me with Nigella’s help), and cheap wine with friends friends friends in my holiday villa, ha ha ha
  • Troop down to USS and spend a carefree day frolicking in the sun, before I become old enough to need to have kids to gain entry. 
  • A good cup of coffee, sketch materials and a camera for a long lazy day at a cafe.

Alas I am now a hard-working adult, and hence am in two minds as to even take leave on the given date. Or to even bring frivolous attention to myself on my birthday or not.

How are 24 year olds supposed to celebrate their birthdays??

Guts

It’s scary how calm I am when I consider the only solution to be suicide.

Point blank

Give me something to say, the way I want to. Make me think, without overbearing external opinions inserted rudely. Ask me, and help me find out who I am. 

Les Bulles de Savon

C’est vrai totalement. La vie est trés comme les bulle de savon; chérir sa beauté éphémère. 

Hardened

Last Thursday I went Dr Martens shopping alone, and finally decided that I was gg splurge on a proper pair of black shoes for work. Yes, for work. I do so much walking and running and crouching that my daily pumps weren’t cutting it. 

But I made the one fatal error when it came to deciding on which pair to get; I sought the advice of others. 

Not that it was bad/wrong, but I already had in mind which one I liked! And now with the pair that I eventually bought against my own instincts, I reckon I look like a suicidal emo clown. Emo now, yes. 

Huge $169 lesson learnt now: always go w your gut, esp when its growling.

1. First Important Lesson - “Know The Cleaning Lady”

During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”

Surely this…

Pennies for change

I have gotten much quieter, but my thoughts haven’t. I’ve come to dislike hanging out in huge groups, because the stones on which I rested on have been worn down by the persistent streams, and I have now come to teeter and totter on what used to be my rock.

Its a huge fight to break out of the very paradigm where you helped pioneer, and where others once celebrated, only to be the only one left languishing in it.

Yet the even more surmountable battle is to humbly acknowledge your lag in joining the crowd, or risk being forgotten and accepting it.

How easy is it to wallow in your losses and stop short of fighting for what is rightfully yours.

You want change, chum? When you’re down, pennies make your world go round, but once you persevere your way up, millions might just be the change in your pocket.Yet, what do you have in mind with them millions?

Time will tell.

Small change will do, for now.
