despite all the emo-ness, i’m glad that life has its ways of making me smile. garry called and it’s amazing how a 3minute phone call can lift my spirits.

life [and technology] works in strange ways.

Last night was a night of self-realization.

A chat with Evan [which started with my WhatsApp message that I'm super emo] revealed that I had once told him, that as much as I love teaching, I couldn’t be a fulltime teacher because ‘the salary can’t buy me a Prada a month’. Lol, though I seriously can’t remember me ever making that statement.

I’ve also realized, that I need to be with a man who knows he loves me. Not someone who thinks he loves me, or can’t be sure if he loves me or is in love with love. He has to love me through my moments, and not more on some days, and less on days when I get insecure. I don’t need him to prioritize me over work or over anything and anyone else in life, and I wouldn’t want him to either. But I would need to know that he’ll always be there for me when I come home from a long day [of course, haagen dasz and a homecooked spread is a huge bonus!] What’s important is that he is someone I’ll want to start and end my day with, that no matter what happens out there, I’ll always have a safe haven to return to - and that he feels the same way about me too.

I turn a quarter of a century old in exactly 3 weeks. The last few birthdays, as far as I could remember, weren’t particularly spectacular. Sure, I’ve had the birthday dinners and drinks, got myself my 2.55 two birthdays back but there’s always something unpleasant about my past birthdays. Maybe I’m jinxed, or maybe September just isn’t my month. But I’m determined to make this one good

It’s Friday folks, have a good one. I personally absolutely can’t wait for next Friday <3 <3

“i’ve found the best investment anyone can make. you tell me, which other investment can give you a return of a couple of thousands a month? this investment is known as not clubbing.”

God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let to walk away,who you let to stay, and who you refuse to let go.

My favorite part about the midautumn festival is not the mooncakes but the pig-in-a-basket thingies. Childhood comfort food <3

Found this yesterday:

Doraemon version of pig-in-a-basket which I had fun chomping on. P.S. I wonder if my girls remember how we used to bitch about the heartlander, irritating type of people during our university days and termed them all doraemons :/

Anyway while uploading pictures from my phone, I found this old picture of fatbear.

fatbear and the world out there

why don’t you be the artist
and make me out of clay?
why don’t you be the writer
and decide the words to say?
cause i’d rather pretend
i’ll still be there at the end
only it’s too hard to ask
won’t you try to help me?

I wrote the title when I had 45minutes left before I have to get going, but after some email exchanges and a quick phone call, I’m now left with 15minutes. Is it just me, or does time seem to zoom by you once you hit your mid-twenties? Omg, mid-twenties really sounds old

too much work, too little time.

I realize I always slip into a mad-grooming-phase every 6 weeks or so.

1. Hair rebonded and colored.
2. Eyebrows
3. Eyelashes - extensions or new false lashes to be decided
4. Out of makeup: lip concealer, compact powder, shading powder, mascara.
5. Contact lens
6. New shoes [okay this is just a personal lust, nothing to do with grooming]

Edited to add: I forgot nails too. growls.
