New tagline for my blog
‘Cause I’m only human. Please keep me sane.
Sounds like a plea to someone out there, huh?
Nah, even if the person is able to keep me sane, he’ll be the one who’s driven insane by me.
Maybe it’s a plea to the higher ups. Keep me sane, please.
For I am going insane.
Choosing to write a status instead… because there’s no need to make a post when the lyrics of a song can describe perfectly what I’m feeling right now.
So, I’ve made a change to the theme, yet again. This one feels less of a blog, more like a website. Actually this theme is what I used for another site of mine, which I have yet to reveal it. I might do a slight change to this layout (like changing the backround) so that it won’t feel like it’s the exact same thing. Or maybe I’ll just switch theme again once I found something that’s pleasant to the eye and good on mobile.
And the coffee photo is just for the fun of it. It’ll look boring on the home page if there’s no featured images lol!
40 days more to HK trip!
Was at the kitchen, washing my cup, when I suddenly realise…
… why am I angry at things I don’t really have control over?
Why should I care if my dad just kept smoking in the toilet, as long as he takes my clothes out before he does?
Why should I care if someone doesn’t do or talk things the way I want them to?
Why put my own health in peril when I can’t control those things?
I’m going 34 this year. I should just be happy and glad that I’m still alive, I’m surviving well enough from paycheck to paycheck, with some savings in between. I’ll just get a 2-room HDB next year, move out, live by myself… take care of myself, live my life the way I want it to be. I’m not that ugly – I think I look average, and all right for my age.
And if I’m terminally sick? Well… I don’t know. Maybe I’ll seek treatment, maybe I won’t. Am I ready to die? I’d be lying if I say I am, but there’s really nothing much to live for in my life anyway. Just live every day as it is. Take the money and go to places I wanna go before I die.
Yeah. I should just live my life happy. ^_^
Still thinking whether to create a separate page for my Taipei 2014 trip, or should I just use this space here. Hmm.. decisions, decisions.
Woke up late, and realising that I’ve forgotten to buy milk for my coffee, so I ended up heading downstairs to Percolate to have my late breakfast before continuing the day.
What I love about Percolate is their coffee. Their awesome white coffee. Those who know me well will know that I hate sourish/bitter coffee, hence I always go for latte. More milky taste. Percolate though, doesn’t have much more milk. But somehow everything just blended very nicely, giving off the rich espresso taste, which is neither sourish nor bitter, together with a milky aftertaste that doesn’t overwhelm you. Awesome coffee, awesome barista. (I do hope that they would have an even bigger cup though. The $4 cup is already 5oz and it’s not enough for me! :P )
This is my carb/sugar laden breakfast, lol. White coffee ($4), banana date loaf ($3.50) and a slice of pear hazelnut chocolate strudel ($6). Yup pretty expensive breakfast, I know, but it has been my mission for quite some time to try all their cakes/danish. Haha!
Their white coffee is as amazing as usual, and that banana date loaf is definitely something which I will order again. Banana taste is pretty heavy, but doesn’t make you sick of the taste towards the end. I can see the dates, but it doesn’t have the usual date taste when I bite into it. Instead it helps to make the texture of the loaf unique, and added some moisture into an otherwise would-be dry banana loaf.
The pear hazelnut chocolate strudel is not something to shout about though. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything fantastic. Its dense but not overly dry, and the nice touch of hazelnuts on top adds a nice nutty crunch. I couldn’t taste any hint of pear though.
In all, I’m pretty satisfied with this breakfast even though its slightly expensive. And that’s all the carbs and sugar I’m gonna have today! No more cake or bread for the rest of the weekend, lol! Now time to shop for some new clothes for Chinese New Year.
Ugh I hate shopping.
I think I’m falling sick. Feeling feverish yet cold. Zzzz.
I used to have many places that I wanna go. Okay, not “used to have”, but places that I still wanna go.
Places like Maldives, Japan, Taiwan (yes, again), certain states in US, London (yes, again too), Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Scotland, Switzerland, Barcelona, Vienna, Venice, Prague… did I just list out almost the whole of Europe? LOL.
But I guess I’ve almost forgotten about one place which I used to clamour about going – Amsterdam.
Not for their night life, not for their red-light district, not for their drugs, but in April-May, for their tulips.
Only people close to me will know that I’m not really like typical girls who love roses. Instead, I love tulips. I have no idea why, though. I just love tulips. All colours, all sub-species of tulip. And it was only during my sis’ wedding, then I know that tulips grow taller overnight. o.O
But yes, tulips. In April to May, fields and fields of tulips will blossom in Holland, as they are famed for tulip cultivation. I wonder how exactly it’d feel to see fields of tulips right in front of me…. like this:
I think I’ll die a happy woman. Probably.
I have zero idea how I end up sitting in this train to work.
Because I couldn’t feel my legs when I’m walking.
Yes that’s how tired I’m feeling right now….
