Chanced upon this juicer-cum-blender called U-like, during a walk in Isetan (Nex, Serangoon) just recently. If you googled it, you would find mothers use it for various purposes - chopping up spices such as garlic, making puree and juices for babies, blending food and vegetables etc. And they like it. I was totally sold when the demonstrator was showing it to us and it didn't …
I should be a witch! Then I'd be able to cast spells! And maybe my life won't be so boring. OH HECK! WHAT AM I DOING?! I NEED TO MAKE MY LIFE MORE EXCITING! OOSH! Right now is so not me...
I was reading my blog when I realized that: 1) I am not writing as frequently as before 2) Content has changed in an undesired way 3) I miss writing 4) I like reading what I wrote So just 5 seconds ago, I told myself, "I will blog more often again." Then I started having this weird sensation like having butterflies, goosebumps, nervousness, excitedness, that …
Couple of days ago, I got my mind set on getting a Vibram FiveFingers. For those who do not know, the Vibram FFs are basically minimalist shoes that typically are like gloves on your feet and with rubber soles plastered on. They look like this: And yes, they look weird. But that's not the point of the post. The point is that I had my mind set on getting a pair of Vibram FFs …
After 2 failed Martinis, 1 very-much-failed Cinderella and another almost-there-heavily -modified-version of the Screwdriver, I finally made a successful "Delilah", also known as "White Lady". Technically the ratios of ingredients in the first Martini I made actually qualified it for the drink named "50:50", a variation of the traditional Martini, so it was not exactly …
I think the reason I am incredibly bad at motor coordination (thus relating to things like dancing, playing piano/instruments) is that my muscle memory is not good. Instead, I am actively cognitively directing every one of my movements. I bet this is the reason!
A colleague, upon hearing my pay, mentioned it was very brave of me to have accepted this job even though I was, technically, over-qualified for it. I confessed to her that it was not a courage which allowed me to accept the job, but rather a lack of courage and confidence in myself to have accepted a job more suited for my qualifications. That is nothing but the truth and …
sister: What is "X-factor" me: Something which sets you apart from others. For example, my X-factor is my mole. (ok, I know it's not very accurate.) sister: Look, I have a mole too! (pointing to her upper lip) me: .... me: So small. Mine is bigger.
Everything is a process. It is a lot harder than we think it is, when we first start out, tempted by how juicy and wonderful the fruit of our labour looks at the end. "Oh, I'll get there in no time!" I thought. It did not turn out that way. There were many stumbling blocks along the way. Then I started realizing the road there is not smooth and is never going to be smooth. …
I was going to figure out this postage, and send you my heart for Christmas. But my friends talked me out of it. They said, "Why would you send her something broken?"- A Softer World
Conversation with father: Me: ... It's OK, I don't need to get married, OK? At 36 years old I will apply for a flat. Father: It is the basic thing for everyone to get married. If not, you will be a very unhappy and bitter woman. Me: It's OK, I have a sponsored child in Lesotho. Oh, I could go for artificial insemination! Father: It is essential to experience the feeling of …
Very inspiring. I like the 2 lines he said, "I think in my life, I only have 2 paths. Either I die quickly, or I live my life splendidly." Hope it inspired you as well.
I cannot stand slowness and incompetency, yet I feel that I am exhibiting both characteristics. Don't know how my VP can put up with me! OK, I promise from now on I'll try my best to be none of these. Require full concentration to give my best. Side note: The expression on my face when I'm concentrating or serious is really different from the smiling face I usually put on …
So proud of my student today. He was packing his bag at the day end and had placed a book in upside down. He corrected himself by switching it right side up. Plus placing his pencil case and other stuff in the small pocket. Hope teaching him the skill of organization helps him to find and do his things faster. Just that day, I found him sitting on his chair when the rest of …
Hate quarrels. Use to try to be the mediator in quarrels but now I just feel so helpless. Have started to ignore and pretend nothing is happening. Surf my internet, do my work and keep quiet. Raises my blood pressure just listening and knowing a quarrel is going on. Stressed. Every time there is a quarrel, I feel like moving out of the house, slamming the door, doing …
Absolutely everybody Absolutely everybody Absolutely everybody Absolutely everybody Everybody needs a little loving, Everybody needs somebody thinking of them. Everybody needs a little re …
Wanted to write a post but thoughts are flying through my mind at bullet train speed. Thoughts which include things like: 1) my hair is dirty 2) I need to sleep 3) I like teaching children with special needs 4) I suck at teaching them 5) my kid is so cute today 6) argh, lesson tomorrow 7) I need to brush teeth and sleep 8) argh, office is match-making this guy and me …
How come there are people who are achieving so much and also enjoying life at the same time? Argh. Frustrating. All I know now is I desperately need sleep. Signs of aging. Good night.
