had dinner with POEPS in town some time back.
the name POEPS came cause we keep calling our group poly peeps since we were classmates back in singapore poly. so from poly peeps it kinda combined and became poeps!
if like you're wondering how come most of my friends here are gals, its cause my class had like 14 people and only 2 were guys. and that 2 included me in it! so like yeah, as classmates we naturally bonded and became great friends.
chilled out at starbucks after dinner. everytime i'm at starbucks i'm sure to order a tall non fat green tea frappe with no whipped cream. YUMS!
finally everyone's here!

burn baby burn
so today i made cheesy sausage spaghetti and i used those tomato pasta sauce that you can buy in a jar at the supermarket.
and i learnt an important lesson.
"never stir a pan of simmering pasta sauce without a tshirt on"
one blob of hot, scalding pasta sauce decided to splat out of the pan onto my chest which made me scream a ramble of expletives that when strung together made no proper sense to grammar nor meaning.
i now have this ridiculous red mark on my chest which looks like i got a nasty lovebite.
seriously omg!!
oh.
and yes, the pasta was yummy! :)

i ate yong tau foo for lunch, a bag of caramel pretzels for a post lunch snack, indian rojak for tea time since i was feeling a little peckish, black pepper steak with baked potato for dinner, 5 triangles of dark chocolate toblerone while watching project runway and seafood mee goreng for supper with a tall glass of bandung.
such a cow.
that's it. this weekend i'm gonna just drink water and suck on a slice of lemon!

from bishan to angmokio
met up with sheryl, jiafang and cecilia today for dinner at mcdonalds. as much as i love the prosperity burger, it leaves me with this bad onion-y smell in my mouth. twister fries was dope though especially when dipped in curry sauce. awesome!! but 7bucks for a meal at mcdonalds is kinda ex dont ya think? maybe cause i grew up in the era where extra value meals used to cost 5bucks.
we then had cheesecake at coffee bean to just chill out and catch up. i like the cheesecake here best. it's really rich and not exactly very sweet. but cheesecake is only great when shared. eating a whole slice alone makes me feel damn puke-ish. chatting with the girls made me realise that we've known each other for like 7 years. then sheryl brought up how when we first met, we were like teenagers and now, we're like in our mid twenties. mid twenties damnit. OMG!! i feel jurassic.
mcdonalds and cheesecake plus a lot of sitting down equals fat friends. fat but happy nonetheless. so to feel less guilty, sheryl suggested we walked all the way to ang mo kio from bishan. i mean, it seemed somewhat absurd at first but the weather was really great and walking would do us good. and so we did.
it was really really nice actually. cool windy weather in a quiet night injected with loud laughters from 4 retards over random stuff that crosses our minds. what better way to end a night right?

silicon, saline, poison inject me
"marilyn, judy, sylvia, tell'em how you feel girls!
work your blond benet ramsey, we'll haunt like liberace
find your freedom in the music, find your jesus, find your kubrick
you'll never fall apart, diana, you're still in our hearts
never let you fall apart, together we'll dance in the dark."
i cant fucking get this song out of my head!!

sugar high
i just came back from oh-my-fucking-crowded chinatown and i got a little excited at the mix and match mochi stall. mochis are like this glutinous rice chewy candy with fillings in the centre such as red bean and green tea. ended up buying a huge bag of mochis and i just gobbled up 10 at one sitting.
the whole bag of mochis sitting next to my computer is like collectively chanting..
"eat me! eat me! eat me!"
just wait my darlings. slowly but surely.
i dont have to be psychic to predict that i'll be shitting mochis for the next 3 days.

mint mcqueen
so today i thought, finally i get to satisfy the damn mint ice cream craving i've been having for the past few day. but then i realised both the Ben & Jerrys at raffles city and suntec city outlets are no longer there anymore.
:(
and then i come home and find out that Alexander McQueen, one of my favourite designers, committed suicide.
:((
oh, what a day.
ps: i'm in no way comparing the departure of the great mcqueen to my unsatisfied craving for mint ice cream. it just so happens to be on the same day. i'm sure his passing is a great loss for the world of fashion. he will be missed but his design aesthetics and his creative ideas will continue to live on. rest in peace.

just a little note
perfection.
we all crave for it. we all desire it. but what if, perfection comes with a price. a price that robs you of being you. would you still chose perfection? would it still mean as much?
perfection might not necessarily bring satisfaction. now i know.
now, those walls i've built, have just gotten even higher. thank you J. thank you oh so much.
***
this blog may no longer feature those long pictorial entries i normally do. i cannot be bothered to put in the effort into something that does not matter anymore. i'll still continue to do random updates i guess.
mmmmm..

front
it's starting to feel impersonal.
every time i blog i feel like i'm writing a press release instead of jotting down the random events of my life. i fuss over editing of photos, making the writing more interesting, and every small little details. it overwhelms me. it stifles me.
i need to stop pleasing others and start pleasing myself now.
