Of food and more food..

Well, the photos of the cakes below say it all. :)

Headed to T1's Awfully Chocolate after work to buy the six inch all choc cake for my sister's birthday! I feel that the price was kinda exorbitant for such a teeny weeny cake - $34 before my 20% staff discount hehe^^ I was finally able to utilise my staff discount card that day! :D

 

Happy (belated) birthday to my sissy! Someone who's the complete opposite of me at time, but still similar in all sorts of ways all the time :>

Went out to Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe at Cineleisure to celebrate my sister's birthday! Here's a wefie before our food arrived! Do we look alike?~

What I had for dinner - Toasts and iced lychee tea!!! I had been craving to eat bread for v long already! I can survive on bread all day!~ 

 Peanut butter & condensed milk thick toast! The peanut butter became gelat towards the end and I couldn't finish this. :(

French toast with ice cream!!! Super loveee bread!!! Hehe^^

My all time fave veggie - Broccoli! <3 Love home cooked meals!!! 

And also, one day I decided to attempt to make jelly! First time making something cause I'm really scared of fire and I just can't seem to go near the stove and pans. :( The container of jelly doesn't look very appealing.. :( I threw in a can of longans and poured some of the longans' syrup inside too. :D

My family actually told me that the jelly wasn't that bad for my first attempt! :D YAY~

Me and Desmond also went to this Soy Thai Kitchen at Tampines for dinner on Saturday. Both service and food weren't as good as Nakhon Kitchen's -.- One of our orders got mixed up and the replacement took about 10 minutes to arrive after the rest of the dishes were here already. By then, we had almost finished our plates of rice. :( Sad..

Sigh.. a few hours more before I wake up for my second last day of work! Can't wait, can't wait.

More often than not, I wish I were dead. But then, I get scared thinking - "What if you're not waiting on the other side?"

It's perfectly fine if you tell me what I'm doing is wrong and it's totally okay for you to correct me if I'm incorrect, but I think you should stop insisting that you're right because well, it's been verified that I was actually correct.

I've all along been very appreciative of the help you had given me so far, but I'm in a shock that you're actually such a male chauvinist pig who doubts and dismisses whatever I suggested. You may have worked here longer than I did, you may be older than me, you may be more experienced than me, but you should not effing belittle me.

Three more days of work and it's good riddance. Can't wait.

Opportunity comes knocking..

Sigh, to think that when I've actually gotten the chance to finally try what I've wanted, I'm actually facing some money issues at the moment. I'm really, really cash tight and I don't wanna rely on my parents. :(

"To know how to choose a path with heart is to learn to follow intuitive feeling. Logic can tell you superficially where a path might lead to, but it cannot judge whether your heart will be in it." - Jean Shinoda Bolen

The thing is, my heart isn't quite sure where to go at the moment. Should I or should I not? :(

Tea at Wimbly Lu - Waffles with salted caramel ice cream and maple syrup (top), rum & raisin with chocolate syrup (bottom), and iced earl grey milk tea :)

I LOVE SWEET STUFFS! :D I can totally eat desserts for lunch/dinner. Just rekindled my love for earl grey tea after this afternoon's earl grey milk tea. Realised I haven't been drinking tea for a long while cause I don't need to force myself to stay awake. I've been deprived of sleep ever since work started and i just can't wait for work to end. 7 more working days to go~

Didn't dare to eat a lot at Wimbly Lu :( cause of my family dinner later. We went to Penang Seafood Restaurant at Aljunied, some coffeeshop that sells quite affordable zi char! We ordered a total of 6 dishes and 5 drinks which totals up to $139.50 only! It'd only be about $100 if we didn't order the nasty fake shark's fin, which simply paled in comparison to the other yummy dishes. No pictures taken from dinner cause we were starving haha. Sigh, on a sad note, I've been using too much vulgarities - thinking of them whenever I'm annoyed and been using them on my boyfriend, not scolding him, but letting him see how I scold others >< I should force myself to kick this vulgar habit. 

I miss you in waves and tonight, I'm drowning. You left me fending for my life and it feels like you're the only one who can bring me back to the shore alive.

I absolutely detest planning my timetable for next sem! Level 4 mods seem super difficult and without doubt, super boring and also,  a 3-day "work" week is seemingly impossible this semester. :'( Sigh, I'm actually dreading to enter my final year this coming August.. :(

On the other hand, I really can't wait for WORK TO END on the 30th of this month!!! I've been counting down every single day, and every morning when I reach the office, I'd look forward to lunch break and after lunch break, I'd look forward to going home at 5.30pm. I don't detest my job, but somehow, this job isn't as interesting as EwF. You get at least one angry customer a day who is just pissing the hell out of you, yet you are obliged to act nice.. I seem nice on the surface but really, I just can't pretend to be nice!!! It's sooo fake and it's so not me please. Also, it's not just angry people who piss me off every now and then, i just can't stand a certain someone after knowing how weird she is. I cannot seem to lie in her face anymore haha, because lying would just be too damn obvious (sorry not sorry). Other than these two negativities (haha), the only other good thing about this job is that I get to use their computer to access the net. I'm on Facebook 8-5pm every Monday - Friday. This is how boring the job is. Plus, the other lessons I learn are that Singaporeans are super uptight about money and some rich people are just that cheapskate.. Ah well.. A little while more to freedom.

Goodnight, xx

Food

Have been eating quite a lot recently, especially after finals ended! So I'll let my photos do the talking!

Had been craving for salmon don during exams and so I ate that after exams ended! Sushi Tei's salmon don are so yumz! The slices of salmon are the largest at Tampines'! Ate at Nex's and Takashimiya's branches too, and I can tell you Tampines offer the largest slices!!!

Injeolmi bingsu! The shaved ice was superbly refined and soft, and the bingsu was full of peanut and muah chee taste, which I adore! 

Had New York cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, apple pastry and a cuppa (latte) with my sissy at Paris Baguette too! Super fattening, but we didn't feel guilty at all! 

Close up of the small and expensive cakes! The New York cheesecake was quite good, but kinda pricey for such small slices :/

I actually had Miam Miam spaghetti with my colleague during my lunch break. Sigh, what did I say about budget lunches at work??? :( 

Miam Miam's french toast on a poster caught my eye while I was walking to the food court, so I dragged my colleague who kindly agreed to have lunch with me at Miam Miam!

And, last weekend, I treated Des to dinner at Chicken Up! The above picture features their famous watermelon soju (for 2 pax) and kimchi fries. The kimchi fries tasted like pizza when they turned soggy haha.

Yang nyum chicken and soya chicken wings! 

Honestly, I thought 4 Fingers is better and definitely cheaper too! But Chicken Up's kimchi fries obviously wins 4 Fingers'!!!

I forgot what other good food I had after finals, but home cooked food is seriously still the best!~ Love (most of) my mum's cooking and I don't think I will ever learn how to cook such awesome Chinese food cause I'm pretty scared of fire.. :( sigh 

Ah well, I'm actually kinda enjoying typing this. Feels kinda therapeutic and like, I'm talking to myself, which is good cause at least, there's a space for me to vent. Gonna work till 30 June and I absolutely can't wait for work to be over and done with already!!! 

xx

Thoughts

Its'e been about two months since I last posted and so, so much has occurred. I was done with exams, celebrated, shopped, ate, slept, stoned, found a job, started work and received results (they weren't good). Despite all these, I have yet to take a break, to be truly in touch with myself and to learn to enjoy solitude. I've been craving for company because I feel empty, I feel lost, I didn't set a direction for myself, I still don't know what I really want for myself - be it career, relationships or my future. Des had also gone to Japan for his grad trip (back in sunny Singapore already) and although he didn't say it, he cut short his trip and didn't go to Korea largely because of me. I feel absolutely remorseful and super guilty that he traveled back alone because I threw a tantrum. I'm also enormously thankful for the kindness, patience and love that he has shown me, and is showing me. I've never been luckier and more blessed to have someone who loves me unconditionally, yet I have to admit, I take him for granted sometimes. This bad habit, I have to kick. I promised him I'll try.

I've been wanting to write something ever since finals ended, but I was just really lazy to do so, and tonight, I finally sat down and began to type. This is not gonna be another long post, so I guess, I'll stop here. Photos of food and people (mostly food) will be up in my next post soon (I hope) cause I'm just too lazy.. For now, it's just goodnight.
