A lil under the weather...

I hate it when I'm sick...
But anyway, like it or not I am sick...
Leaky nose, achy body, pounding head, sore throat...all that jazz...I've lost count how many times I've fallen ill this year...what's with this body of mine?!?!??! Grrrrr!!

 Too much peanut butter m&ms or too much work from uni?!?!??!

Peanut Butter WHAT?!?!?

Last evening I was introduced to sin...

I took one, tossed it into my mouth, took a bite...crushed the sugar coat and into a layer of milk chocolate, covering a squirt of peanut butter! Awwwww...that was simply awesome! And then, I figured the best way to eat it...(well because I know I so have the tendency to finish the whole bag at one go, I decided to go slow with it, so that I get to eat it the best possible way, experiencing every bite to the most maximum level).

So first, you've gotta bite it into two halves. Take the first half, slightly chewing using your front teeth until sugar coat is broken. Then, slowly move it to the middle area of your tonge. Using the tip of your tongue, mix the sugar, chocolate and peanut butter together to form a paste. Now that a paste is formed, slowly press your tongue against the roof of your mouth and let it slowly trickle to the back of your throat...slowly go "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh". Wait! You're not done yet! There's the other half...you could either repeat what you did to the first half, or you gently break the sugar coat, chew and swallow it, while keeping the chocolate and peanut butter hidden somewhere in your mouth. Once the sugar coat is nicely down your throat, you now let the remainder sit in the middle of your tongue and just let it melt away...
p/s: be sure not to consume water straight after so that the taste can linger for a while longer...

Peanut Better M&Ms, heard so much about it...finally tried it today and loved it!
p/s: I'm pretty sure they serve Taro Milk Tea from Easyway and Peanut Butter M&Ms in heaven for breakfast every single day...(best of all, in heaven nobody gains weight!)

A Taste of Sweetness in August

Can't believe that we're a month and a half from Mid Autumn Festival 2010, and I already have mooncake in the kitchen! Mid Autumn Festival 2010 falls on the 22nd September 2010. It is without a doubt, one of my favourite festivals in the Chinese calander. I love everything about it - love the sweetness of mooncake, love the elaborated patterns on the cake, love the snowy skin mooncake, love the green tea paste, love the durian paste, love the traditional lotus paste, love the lanterns, love playing with candles, love melting the wax from the candles, love staring at the moon, love making a wish to the fairy up in the moon...most of all, love that I was granted a special wish and I got to spend it with you!
Mid Autumn Festival 2009: One for Justin, one for Emily, one for Michelle, one for Teng...

A Pro at Procrastinating

Don't know if you are able to see Farah's comment on this picture? She is quite right indeed, "look at the product of procrastinating!" (Gulamoydeen, 2010)

I'm in the midst of writing the final paper for Neuropsychology. Being the final paper would probably mean that the final grade for this subject is at the moment dependent on how well I do (that's assuming that I put all my effort into it, which judging by the picture above simply says otherwise!). 


This is the second last subject of the program, did you hear me?!?!? SECOND LAST!! Woohooooo!

Why is love like pyramid?

"Love is like a pyramid because it's strong, prominent and it stands forever..."

Tantrum in the House!

I sometimes feel that I have not outgrown temper tantrums at home. I am quite reactive and stubborn most particularly at home, and often my parents don't really know how to respond to me. Temper tantrum is a way children act out their frustrations and anger, which sounds a lot like what I do. Problem is that I'm not a child anymore, then why am I still chucking tantrums at home?

Oh well, sometimes it gets a bit on my nerve when the typical Asian parenting focuses on whatever that is not done, whatever that is not good enough and whatever that could be better. No reinforcements for any good deeds done. One would have thought after more than 26 years, I would have gotten used to it? But no! Is this an indication that I should be kicked out to live on my own?

I say this now, but I know when the day finally comes that I do move, I will never ever get used to it because at home, my mom packs my breakfast, does my laundry, irons my clothes, cleans my room, picks up after me, etc, etc, etc. My dad on the other hand buys my favourite breakkie on weekends, chauffeur me everywhere on weekends, buys me nice clothes all the time and does everything a loving father would to protect his baby daughter.

Well, the thing is we love each other and know how much we mean to one another. What we've gotta realise is that our family grows up just like how a child does too. I know it's a disgusting fact my parents dread to acknowledge, but fact is that we've got to respect each other as how grown ups do! This day may never ever come that my parents have such revelation. I guess it's for me to work on my own temper and to come up with my clever little way to act my age so that they (hopefully) get it too.

Come to think of it, 26 and still living under my parents' roof, whoops...kinda embarrassing, but oh well! I'm uniquely Asian, hahahhaha!

What Type of Men Scorpio Women Like

Scorpio Women are vivacious, intense and determined ladies. It is only after successfully achieving her ambitions in life that a Scorpio Woman thinks about romance and relationships. Till then she is contended with the fact that she can impress any man on this planet with her charm and persona. This article tries to understand the type of men Scorpio women like.


Scorpio Women are:
  • Independent, Intelligent and driven with a sense of purpose in life.
  • Their emotions are deep and strong.
  • They carefully choose their partner after knowing what they want from their men.
  • The quality of intutition allow these women to be fairly successful in choosing their worthy spouse.
Men apt for Scorpio Women should be:
  • Emotional, composed, patient, able and lucky.
  • Scorpio women have very bad temper. Under the spell of such intense emotions, they abuse the opponent in unintended ways.
  • The man in a scorpio woman’s life should be wise enough to curb his share of opinions, emotions, and ego in such tense moments.
  • An able partner to a scorpio woman would appreciate the fact that his lady is a person in her own right and her deep sense of strong identity is as precious to her as her life itself.
  • He should treat her like a friend first. Such gesture will win this extremely beautiful lady’s heart.
  • After getting appropriate and adequate assurances, a scorpio woman will be completely ready to give her heart and soul for such a worthy partner.
  • Men who do not accept these terms and conditions are left on the roadsides to make catcalls, once this lady passes by.
  • A Scorpio woman is an honor for a man, and he should be honourable to achieve one.
  • Since Pisces men come close to possessing the above mentioned qualities, they are the most compatible men with the women of this sun sign.

I don't think I like you very much...

Today I had a good supervision with my thesis supervisor.

p/s: If there was something I should take away from this whole thesis saga, it would be that thesis is not something I will ever want to do once I get out of this program!

Maturity

When do you know is time to move on? Guess it will never be a time you know. Moving on is simply a sign of maturity. You and I, we've chased something we both know we can never achieve. Time to put a stop to something that has no end to it. All the heartaches, though painful but can be swept aside. Let's wipe it out and start over. Through it all, we lived and we learnt. You never know just how much it meant, but guess nothing is important anymore. Some things we cannot explain by words and words alone. Let's not make it any more difficult. What's been hurtful's hurt enough. That, which is a lesson, make it a lesson worth learning. Looking back to things of the past is nothing but a waste of time and not to mention an added baggage to us both. Forward thinking is the way to go. Bury the bitterness of yesterday, let the fights end, and the tears dry. Rejoice in the sweetness of today. Tomorrow will be a new day. New day calls for new dreams and new directions. Let maturity lead you to everything that is good. Fight no more for it's time to let go and move on...

What a friend is not...

Friends are meant to be very meaningful people who would accept you as you are.

Sometimes, some friends make us feel like they are here to tell us what to do. As such, I don't feel comfortable sharing with them as how friends would. They would pass judgment, criticize and sometimes deliberately say things that may be hurtful. It's quite uneventful that some friends end up this way. I am fortunate that not all my friends are this way. But that one or two who are like that are enough to make me put up my defenses to stay away from them in order to avoid being a victim of their own little gossiping frenzy!

If you think you are a friend to someone, be a friend...Friends usually have no deliberate intentions nor agenda behind what they do for you. If you think you cannot be a friend, stay away!

What does that small voice say?

Having the courage to end a long term relationship was one of the few bigger achievments for me. Upon the break up, I was not only relieved but entirely grateful for all the little and big good things that started to come my way. I instantly knew without a doubt, what I did was right and indeed needed to happen.

Today, I am happily living my life doing the things I enjoy, along with the people I love. For all I have today, I will not trade them for anything else in the world. I just know that this is the beginning of all good things and I will be blessed with nothing less than what I deserve from this day forth!


p/s: Ending a relationship with someone is never easy. But that small voice in you will never go wrong. Follow your heart, and your dreams will be discovered...it will lead you on a long journey of never ending happiness (with the one you TRULY love).

Chasing Time

Stress is clearly visible as reflected on my skin as my complexion is suffering breakouts which can only be a result of academic stress!

So much to do, so little time!

This is so not healthy for my wellbeing...It does feel like I'm chasing time, and the feeling sucks!
