My mama stayed up last night to make these for me. Two red birthday eggs.
The eggs stained my fingers. The colour rubbed off onto my “white” iPhone cover. Now I really have to dump the cover. Not complaining though. It’s a sweet gesture from my mom.

He came into my room to check if I was awake. Then he sayanged me. Almost a routine now.
What a sweetheart…
Happy brunch March 26, 2011
After hours of fasting and restraining myself from ice cold beer placed right under my nose through the night for a medical check-up, all I need is just a good good brunch.
I had long decided I want to go Hacienda at Dempsey. Much to my disappointment, the place was closed! On a Saturday! I will be sad if it has closed shop.
So jw and I went to Jones de Grocer instead. No queue today. Good food, but not good to chill cos everyone is seated so closely to the next patron. We left quickly after the hearty traditional English breakfast. Still satisfying by the way.
Coffee — an important part of my life August 22, 2010
Good coffee, I must add.
I never realized how much I needed coffee until I had problem finding one here in Ubud, Bali. We ordered one on our first day and it tasted like crap. Bitter murky water more like it. It was unfiltered and there was a lot of coffee powder sediments, and adding gula didn’t help at all.
Two days later I finally ordered the right coffee. My first in three loonngggggg days! Heheeee
You don’t know how much I miss Coffee Bean!
feeling good can be so easy August 6, 2010
i m feeling good today because :
1. i had a filling dinner last night
2. i am on pm half day leave today
3. my boss is away till next wednesday (which then totally makes my half day leave a full day instead)
4. it’s my mum’s birthday
5. K is on half day off today as well
6. i am going to have my virgin haircut at shunji matsuo
7. i managed to put together a look that i like for work since i’m on half day
8. i managed to not get drunk last night and drank water
but feels lousy too at the same time :
1. slept at 4am last night and feeling fatigue – if only i didn’t go out last night
2. have been spending way too much – if only i have not made that appt at shunji
3. thighs are rubbing agst each other – if only dinner wasn’t that filling last night
as much as i wanna feel good and perfect, there is always an element of bitterness in me, dwelling on the too many “if-onlys” in life and often soon enough to realise that “if-onlys” are totally preposterous and self-damaging. if i have already did what i did and the results weren’t satisfying, what for still cry over spilled milk? going through all that mind-fucking “if-onlys” and “what-if-i-have-done-that” shit (which are mostly what i brought upon myself) is a tedious exercise.
therefore, i decided to stop the crap, like i said, it’s self-damaging. with the help of much positive thinking and a lil sense of humor. I NEED TO CONQUER THIS SHITTY FEELING.
1. slept at 4am last night and feeling fatigue – i have the long weekend to sleep and since my boss is not in office today. i can just shut my mind off, which is way better than having to face my boss when i have not had enough sleep.
2. have been spending way too much – in any case i won’t be broke from all that spending and i should just enjoy life as it is with mild control.
3. thighs are rubbing agst each other – since already rubbing then continue to rub lor!!! haha. POSITIVE THINKING must be work doublely hard here.
repeat after me : FEELING GOOD CAN BE SO EASY!
