My Motivation Theory

10 November

Mom's birthday cake from The Patissier, Double Choc Pralines.

Love everything about it, except the trip down to Ann Siang Road for its collection.

12 November

The Marmalade Pantry at Orchard ION. Definitely going back for its sandwiches again. Desserts were.. hmm average, not the best menu/place to recommend.

My motivation for school is low, so low yet I don't really know the cause of it. Every night, I will recite to myself that I must attend the morning class that follows probably like ten times before I can rest my mind. But as soon as I get up the next morning, settle down with coffee and something to eat in front of the television set.. my mind changes a 180 degree and concludes with a decision NOT to attend the morning class. So, it's not that I can't get up for class, well sometimes I am really exhausted I'll just lay motionless in bed, but often my decision comes right after breakfast. Maybe it's my breakfast that is causing me to miss classes every morning? Maybe I should skip breakfast and just proceed to the shower room and get everything done, before I settle down for breakfast or have it on my way to school. Wait, what if I finish breakfast before I get to class and bam, I lose my motivation to walk any further (towards the intended destination) and turn around to head home? Okay, this is getting annoying so maybe I should just skip breakfast (but breakfast is like so important to me and it's my favorite meal!) or treat lunch as breakfast (by heading to a place which offers breakfast all day) or bring my breakfast alongside my soul into class and have it when the tutor is teaching (and probably attempt to chew loudly to annoy her cos she is the worst tutor that anyone can have). Hmm, I think I'll go with the last option (until I figure out something better). xx

Food porn with an extra message

At home, on a regular weekday

Last Sunday

My 'die-die must have' yoghurt from Coffee Bean..

and Sushi Tei for dinner.

Yesterday

Dinner at Aerin's

I realized that I no longer patronize hawker centers, food courts, fast food outlets (besides Subway, occasionally Carl's Jr) or anything like that. Frankly speaking, I'm not a fan of Asian cuisine. We don't consume rice at home, my mom makes sandwiches for me, pasta at times, chicken chop, grilled salmon.. oh yes and sushi. And speaking of that, I figured that's the only Asian cuisine that I fancy. Wait, is it even Asian, is Japanese cuisine classified under Asian? Aye.. anyway you'll probably get what I mean.

So my Friday and Saturday were the highlights of this week. Finally got to see J after three weeks or probably a month.. How could we even allow ourselves to be away from each other for such a long period of time? Sometimes, no most of the times I wish that she's my classmate so that we can spend more time together. Now that I'm attending school, I can hardly find time for friends, friends that I used to be close to. Or maybe it's just the lost of interest in sustaining friendships. I used to be close to an army of people from primary school to secondary to poly and a couple whom I met elsewhere.. but not now. Maybe I just gave up on trying to keep them in my life or you can say that I don't actually need them anyway. I mean they lead their own lives with friends of their own, I doubt my existence makes a difference to them.

Okay enough of solemn sam, I shall be on my way to download more annoying lectures from Blackboard. Before I leave, here's a quick birthday shout-out to my BFF in advance:

Happy Birthday J! I've known you for another year so that makes us friends for 4 years.. well almost there. Like we always say- people walk in and out of our lives; while many have disconnected from ours, I believe that you are one that will stay to witness my graduation, my first official job, my marriage, the birth of my children, my first ever botox jab (and subsequent ones), my wedding anniversaries.. and when time comes, my hair falling, my skin sagging as face lifts cease to work, memory loss and perhaps vision too, and eventually the day when I depart from this world! And of course, I'll definitely be there to witness all these events happening to you too. Love you till the end of time (even when wrinkles form and R refuses to take a second glance at you), here's to eternal friendship! xx

Back

HELLO EVERYONE (okay why do I make it sound like I have a lot of readers?!)!

Gees, after neglecting this blog like two months, I have decided to make a come back! Right, so much have happened over these few months and I really dont know where to begin. I know there's this annoying box that keeps appearing whenever you enter my site, that's because I have locked my twitter account so I'll prolly try to remove my twitter from my blog and all.

So.. I'm back from Australia! It was definitely a good 20 days spent there with the company of A and L! The weather was seriously harsh on us, especially when the wind blows! Shopping was alright, they kinda have their own range of brands over there like Sportsgirl, Valleygirl, Forever New (instead of 21 haha), Dotti, Supre etc. But the best thing is, they have vintage stores unlike Singapore! Well, shopping is not exactly cheap there but once in a while you'll find something like a $10 hoodie or jacket which isnt too bad at all, I guess.

Besides shopping, there's eating.. Yea like a hell lot of food binging going on (which explains our tragic weight gain). But seriously, you cant miss out on their foodie, it's like going to err Japan and not trying out sushi? Speaking of sushi, I think Melbourne offers amazing roadside sushi (especially at the city)! They are huge, they taste great and they are cheap! Like $2.30 for takeaway and $2.50 for dining-in (and obviously we'll go for the former!).

We didnt do much of sightseeing but that's because we werent exactly interested anyway. Well, we re-visited many places cos we couldnt get enough of them and one good example is Max Brenner! Seriously, we need to feed on hot chocolate (cappuccino in my case) like every day due to the cold weather. It's that insane, I know.

Alright, so my birthday was spent in Melbourne and I practically missed out all the celebration(s) in Singapore! Now that im back, where are all my presents?! Nay im just kidding, peace out folks. xx

Ps. More photos up on FB (though im not quite done with them yet!).
