Nostalgic happiness

feeling a little melancholy all of a sudden..

probably because my shelves look like this..





you might go.. its ok what.. not as messy as you think.. true.. its definitely better than what it was two months ago.. my mum cannot even be bothered to pack up after me.. its really a thankless job to pack up after me now.. cos i hate other people touching my stuff and then putting things elsewhere.. there IS an order to my mess contrary to what my mother chooses to believe.. although secretly i might be happy because then i don't have to pack and can use the time to sleep/eat/watch tv.. but i never admit it (NEVER!).. so kick up a big fuss is the only option left.. i am such a brat..

anyway.. to perk myself up.. so that i don't slump into depression and defeat the whole purpose of this blog..i shall list ..

5 random things that make me happy

1) shopping at daiso.
(so.many.things.to.buy.so.many.things.to.buy) and all at $2 ... never mind that i may not need what i am buying.. so.many.things.to.buy.. i like to go there and vent my frustration. couldn't find a link on the brach of singapore.. so you read this on canada then.. haha.. no difference one la.
daiso


2) desserts
i love dark chocolates, bitter ones.. strawberry shortcakes..gelato ice creams.. i prefer sour fruity flavours than chocolate flavours.. crispy pastries.. pineapple tarts.. apple crumble..pancakes.. hot scones.. yam pie.. beancurd.. 马拉糕 (this milky tasting hongkong dessert).. ice kachang with less coconut milk and more sweet corn..muah chees..嘟嘟糕.. teh si kosong.. fortune cookies.. sara lee cake with vanilla ice-cream.. my neighbour's goreng pisang.. fresh cherries (never the processed ones).. bbq marshmallows.. rootbeer floats.. corn bun (the chinese one).. muffins without nuts..blueberry muffines actually.. cinnamon croissants.. BREAD! any type (not really a dessert but i don't care).. cookies without nuts.. konnyaku jellies.. japanese desserts at the supermarket underneath lido.. onde onde (the ones with black sugar not the coconut one) .. KUEH LAPIS.. my mum's cookies (miss them so much but my mum has not made them for almost a decade now? sigh) ..durian puffs.. and so on and la la and blah blah.. have you not fallen asleep yet?

3) a long fart
long and loud.. then hearing my mum say "WAIYOH! 作么这样! 那么历害?! 不会闪一边啊？没有礼貌！" satisfying really.. disgusting but satisfying..YAHAHAHAH! loud farts do not smell really.. its the silent ones thats lethal.. really. no.. it does not mean mine..

4)good weather
clear skies, sun covered by clouds. cool breezes. light rain. heavy rains that threaten to flood and wash away this island (YAHAHAHA!ahem..)

5) travelling alone with few other passengers..on an empty bus/train in the early mornings.. as the dawn is breaking..

5 weird eating habits of mine

1) i am a sugar addict but i prefer my drinks without sugar if i can help it.

2) i like to suck the chocolate off the chocolates i eat.. meaning i will always eat the peanut/almond/hazelnut last. i used to spit out the nuts.. (yes my mum will eat them sometimes accidentally.. haha.. so clever! i know i am disgusting.. such things only family members can do) .. but now i eat them (especially almonds) .. except those jelly ones.. i still spit them out..

3) i can finish one whole fish in a sitting.. big or small.. plus the head.. i love the heads.. YUM! steamed teochew style please.. or any way that my mum steamed it. of course without rice.. you think i am a rubbish bin? to give you an idea.. those you see in banquets.. i can finish it by myself.. and i prefer to cut it myself .. thanks. i think only unfresh fish are fried so i don't like to fry my fish if they are fresh.. making sense?

4) i like to eat my food by parts.. like try this dish as it is when it comes to me .. then try a little part of it with sauce .. then another part with another type of sauce.. whether or not the sauce is meant for it.. just to see how good or "good" it taste like.. but i will never drench my food in chilli/tomato sauce.. waste of good food. unless it was bad in the first place.. but thats not the point..

thats why i like to eat peanut butter and kaya toast.. on the same toast.. and i like my eggs and hashbrowns with maple syrup.. and papaya then milk (in that order and separately)

5) i don't like cold hardened cheese. melted yes.or cold soft cheese yes.. but not those that rehardened on pastas.. except mozzarella

5 things i don't like people to give me

1) soft toys.. you who matters should know this by now.. they collect dust.. amd i hate dust..

2) food.. i don't like people giving me only food as a gift.. part of it is ok. i like to keep the gift as a keepsake.. you want me to remember you as a chocolate box or a restaurant receipt? nt that i remember it that way.. you do get what i mean don't you?

3) attitude.. from salegirls or waitresses.. i paid for service charge.. i am not a fussy shopper.. just because your nail broke/bag do not match your shoes do not mean you take them out on me.. i will not buy anything from you.. even if i really liked it.. immensely..unless its a gift that a friend really likes .. sigh anything for people that matters.. (PTM)

4) lectures..just because you happen to create some insanity does not make you more superior..please talk as if you understand not because you manage to make the mistake first and manage to survive it..

5) baby pink or baby blue or baby yellow clothes or bags .. they look cute on babies (hence the name).. but not on me.. no light pink stuff .. dark pink is ok.. hot pink is fine on certain things.. no LIGHT pink.. unless its my highlighter.. if so, why are you giving my highlighter to me as a gift?
