Started this one month ago and i’ve only read like 20% so far. Getting very slow with my reading recently, i need to buck up.

sweet like ice cream

Curry chicken bun, coffee

i guess if life is just sweet like ice cream, it would be boring and dull. So i would say it’s okay to feel troubled some time... furthermore, if you have not tasted bitterness, you probably wouldn’t know the taste of sweetness after all.

happy new year

Hi guys, it’s been a while, how’s everyone doing? This is already the second week into the new year, i really need to keep my holiday mood and get life back to the norm. Happy New Year! xx

packing

Cookies, coffee

How soon do you usually pack your luggage before going on a trip? Most of the time, i do it one day or the night before unless it’s a place where i’m not sure what to wear and need to do a bit of a planning, and in this case, Brunei. i’m in the midst of packing for Thursday trip, two days in advamce. Not sure how strict the dress code for this islamic country would be... i’ve packed leggings (just in case i’m not supposed to show legs) and a big scarf to cover whatever part i need to cover.

full stomach and nightmare

Roti prata, chicken curry, strawberry and mango tea

i don’t usually sleep with a full stomach, but when i do, i always get nightmares! i was so tired today i took a nap right after my tea break and dreamt that i put my niece in a chilli powder bottle, then placed the bottle in a pail and carried (her) down the stairs cos it was flooding. Chilli powder bottle?! i got a shock half way through when i realised water has seeped in and couldn’t imagine what if the chilli got into her eyes. i quickly turned open the cap and asked if she was able to stand up and come out. And phew! She did and i woke up. What a moronic act!
