i bought 4 jars (masons) and a handy dandy slicer/grater set from mustafa (god that place is a treasure trove of all things cheap and nonsensical)
it was a sweechoon dinner today w my 1611s!!! jasmine n i being all nonchalant about the fact that we've just came back from hongkong land of dimsum. we came from farrer park, thankfully not lavender bc i read rly stressful stories of other people walking 15 mins from lavender. we took 10 mins tops. directions are not my thing. i'd have to read the map upside down just so that i correspond the buildings tgt w that on the map and then again, i'd be hopelessly lost. hongkong has emphasized this fact v lucidly hahahaha shewts.
being lost aint necessarily a mega bad thing though. more sights to see and aroma to stimulate your olfactory senses
sweechy: dem amazin liushabaos i swear i can eat 3 of em!!! and flavourful skins of fried tofu w pork floss. we all had that appreciative silent moment for the dawn of such sumptious dishes upon us.
mustafa: we found this screen of a buddhist temple and decided to fool social media that we'd been overseas *again*
it was the worst joke ever bc the screen had black lines where it folds
i think we were a rly weird bunch.... we went around the whole of mustafa and had hardcore (good for the core) outbursts in each section. the indians there judge us
we laughed at long candles that burnt for 85 hours and, "oo candles. for those who dont wanna have sx in the dark" "white candles are meh"
kitchen section- big spoons for big appetites,
meat tenderizers that looked v much like a hammer w spikes,
giant forks w 2 spearheads.. hypothesizing on how each utensil fits into womens' handbag n makes for a good weapon.8
~found my julienne peeler though~ - or a good substitute.

is it scary to think that there are no inherently bad people in this world? lance armstrong was a great man, but he was tossed aside because of the duping. he was the same lance armstrong, a human who makes decisions for himself, while perceptions of him changed because others had found out what he had done. i mean to say that there are no evil people, just evil actions- evil only in that instance.
people act a certain way for a reason and it is perception of the others around him to judge, according to their own standards. towards my family, i have acted somewhat hostiley in the past few years of my life. i didnt understand why i got so irritated w them so easily. finally, it dawmed on me that i had a lot of expectatioms from them on how to act as a family, just that i couldnt find the avemue to express myself. in this warped sense, i 'hated' my family bc 1
) i didnt realize the great things theyve done for me. ive foolishly taken it all for granted 2) of the different perceptions of what love is. mummy and daddy drive off durng the weekemds w/o waking us up. i get frustrated bc we never have familytime. they didnt want to wake us up from our slumber and had chosen to get breakfast for us.
-1) & 2) are pretty much the same point- bc im not good at organizing my lists right.
so anyway ppl will always have reasons for stuff. and funny, they will think they are always right. theyd do things which benefit themselves. it is a neutral observation and i can see it very much in myself too.
it's a huge revelation for me bc with this nugget of info i see things in a differentlight. there is greater tolerance on my part, towards others. be it friends, family, commuters, co-workers. i guess it makes for a much happier me since i do not get mad easily at others for when my expectations are not met.
2014 and beyond is for me to be the best version of myself. loving myself = loving others better, sounds flawed but i've made sense of it in my head, really!
