This time round, Loti ordered them for me, and you don’t know how appreciative I am :’) This milk is an viral addiction infected by Yun, but I very 不舍得 drink because it’s so expensive ($1+ per packet) and it’s so hard to find in Singapore.

People has been saying (since forever) that Loti and I look like each other. I kinda agree la, but not only do we look alike, we think similarly too!

This was how I fared in the 5 love languages, and Loti’s highest score was also ‘quality time,’ which means we both enjoy each other’s company the most! ♥

Couples should totally do it and compare results with one another. (There isn’t an option for boyfriends / girlfriends / gay partners / lesbian partners, so just choose husbands / wives.) Singles don’t despair. There’s a quiz for you too!

I then asked Loti to take another personality test – one which I took quite some time ago, and his results are IDENTICAL TO ME! IMPOSSIBRUUUUUU! He is also an ESFJ! How can he be an ESFJ! I mean, there are 72 questions and there are so many different combinations of types – like he may be a J E R K, S C U M, or even a D I C K, but why is he an E S F J!

There can only one be explanation. I’ve found my evil twin.

From editing photos to writing then re-reading my post over and over again to make sure it’s the way I want it before hitting the ‘publish’ button. (Ha, the perfectionist in me.)

Sometimes I wonder if I should stop blogging. In terms of money sense, it is a complete waste of resources because I could put all these hours to more money making. However, it’s something I like to do. Even if my readership is zero (okay, can’t be zero cos’ I’ll read it myself lol.) Even if my readership is one, I’ll still be blogging. Time spent on something which makes you happy shouldn’t be time wasted.

I like to scroll through my own archives and look back at everything – photos, people, stupid thoughts, whatever I had at that point of time. So one day if I ever get amnesia, this is a place I’d love to come home to. (Someone please remind me of my own blog address tyvm.)

Today, I was guilty of scrolling through my archives again (read: doing useless web browsing with no drive to start work). Stumbled upon an old post at my old blog and I’d like to share it again.

Question: Sometimes people misinterpret what we do. How do others see you that is different from how you really are?

My answer: Most people think that I’m a siao zha bor with a couldn’t-care-less attitude but actually, I give my best to matters that I really care about. Few people get to see this side of me, cos’ I don’t bother showing them anyway. As long as the recipient appreciates, it’s more than enough.

————————————————————

There are many friends whom you can laugh and have fun with, but how many can actually get close to your heart?

We often judge, analyse what’s wrong or right, then start labeling others or preach to those we care about. But who are we to judge? What gives us the right to?

How often do people around you advise you against something, but you still went ahead nevertheless because your heart tells you so but you end up getting hurt. Now then, as guilty ones, do we still go around penalising the (so-called wrong) decisions of other people just because they have also chosen to “follow their heart”?

No one is me. What do they know? How do they know how I feel?

There is no right or wrong company. There is just whether a person makes you feel right; and whether a friend makes you know that he or she is true.

No one’s a saint anyway. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone has flaws, and all these have got nothing to do with whether a person is worth befriending or not. It’s like saying I should hang out with a righteous lawyer because he is righteous, instead of a hooligan who comes to my rescue every time I need help. Haha two extreme cases just to illustrate.

Like I said, how many people can you really connect with and pour your heart out to? Extremely exiguous, and once I spot them, I cling on tight. Life’s too short to miss people out like that.

If a hurdle made a friendship stronger I believe it’s totally worth it. And it’s through the process of overcoming the hurdle which reveals the amount of effort and sincerity that both parties put in.

But of course, if you blew up too many chances then you’re a bitch and I should obviously ditch the friendship lah. Hur hur tell me about my tolerance level and number of chances I’ve given before giving two friendships up.

At the end of the day, I am absolutely sober of my own emotions and I can handle my own relationships. If I fail, then I ORBIQUACK lor but no one should ever walk over and say, “See, I told you so.”

There isn’t a thing called regret. We learn and then move on.

I’m living my life now and I don’t care what people think. Similarly, I shan’t interfere in people’s lives as well. Everyone’s an adult and should know how to make his / her own decision by now. I can always listen, but I’ll not advise / preach anymore. I suck at that anyway.

Celebrated Yun’s at Grapevine over dinner, cake, and the most awesome banana milk thereafter. Please stay happy very much okay! :D

Family dinner at Kim’s Family Restaurant. Popo choked really badly that night and I got a big shock. She claims that it’s a norm but I hope not.

Brought her for ice cream chillax a week later at Ice Cream Chefs, and she did it LIKE A BOSS!

I love ice cream so so much and I so happy that I finally got to visit Salted Caramel.

Their earl grey ice cream rocks socks and I was busily nomming away while Lynn and Ash tried to take some photos.

Photo taken at Street Directory’s bloggers community gathering at Mookata. Very shiok Thai BBQ!

Hearty eggs benedict and omelette that Loti made for me. I’m glad that I found someone whom loves breakfast as much (and knows how to cook them)!

In return, I let him have a taste of the cranberry mallow pie I made not specially for him, but because I bought too much cranberries! Haha.

This entry is all about food! Even the title is!

I’m back from Japan safe and sound. The trip was awesome. Please be patient with the photos because I’m gonna be flooded with work.

TOO. (Pun intended.) I’m officially attached :)))))

Now you have a face to the ‘lok lok’ guy I was talking about. He is known as Loti now.

And the boy whom brought me ‘lok lok’ from JB at 2am.

I know it doesn’t look very photogenic, quite lok kok in fact (haha), but it’s one of the sweetest things I’ve received. There were about eight skewers in total and none of them was a repeat. Boy, how I appreciated it cos’ I’m a fan of variety and not quantity.

Bacon, asparagus, mushrooms, and chit chats till 5am. Well, that pretty much made up our very first date (I suppose).

I went home crossing my fingers hard that night. I wasn’t sure if he would ask me out again, but apparently he did, and then we met up not once, but many times. I may be too quick to say this, but I’ve never found someone whom fits me so well before. In a total span of nine months, he’s the only one whom managed to cause me (happy) sleepless nights.

I don’t know if he reads my blog, but if he does, by the time this post is auto published, it would have already been my fourth day in Japan. And all I want to say is, I’ll miss him very much! Don’t remind me how mushy and cliché this whole thing sounds, I know it. But when you fall for someone, you just can’t quite help it.

Brunch with cheermates. Some things just don’t change even after four years wahahaha.

Saw Jay Chou’s (damn young) photo with Chef Vincent whom I met at The Gallerie’s opening. I couldn’t help but to get excited. I think the staffs thought that I siao.

Stacked up three candles during mid-autumn fest. Never knew you could do that.

Riding like a devil on Marc’s bike. Eh… I act only lah.

Keppel Bay!

Brunch with a much missed bunch.

YUM.

Finally, the most exciting piece of news! I’m flying to Japan in one day’s time, ALONE! How scary is that! ‘Cos I haven’t even plan my itinerary and pack my luggage! What’s new. I’m a last minute traveler and I have way too much work to clear omg T_T But ok lah, at least for the first four days I’ll be meeting Lynn there. Can’t wait x 99!

* Japan flag not drawn to scale.

Imma use some sleep for now! Brain-fried, good night morning!
