Food: Clover Chips

The other day I decided to get some snacks, but the convenient store was not a usual one with the normal chips and Twistees and Mamee noodles, but also carried other kinds of chips, this one called Clover Chips.

Since it looked safe (no weird flavours or anything) and when I held it in my hand it was 8/10 filled, unlike the normal chips where it was 4/10 filled with chips and the rest with air, I bought it.

Dear... I'm holding up the tarp pt 2

[Continuation of the previous post, somewhat like an address to the readers]

Dear reader,
Whoever you are,

Have you read the previous post, titled I'm holding up the tarp? If not, go read it, then come back. You done? Okay.

Sometimes we just have to just do our part and let the others realise and learn the hard way. You've done your part, much more than that. You can let it go, sometimes you'll be much happier that way. 

And if your arms get too tired to hold on, you can also email me, or fill in the contact form. Even though I might not be able to directly extend my arm to share the weight, I'll do my best to find a way to support you.

I'm holding up the tarp

What is this?

When I say I'm committed, I really think I am. 

When people ask me to do something, I will try my best to do it.

Even when I'm not asked to do it, I will take initiative.

But why is it when tasks are allocated to others, they don't do it?

And in the end it's me taking over their tasks

I try not to complain, I really tried.

But it's hard when you become used to saying,

"I'll do it".

Musings 007 | Phone over book |

Sometimes the urge to take out my phone instead of the book is greater. Those times when I had long journeys on the MRT and a good book are not so common, yet they are not gone. We can still be able to get lost in a good book. Just choose your book over your phone.

ball at my feet again

I feel the ball at my feet again

The synthetic leather against my skin

As I tap it lightly

Pushing it from one foot to the other

While attempting on my work

I feel the ball at my feet again

11.11.15 Reason to Smile

Brothers can be sweet sometimes. Emphasize on sometimes.

Remember the Milo milkshake I made yesterday? I gave a bottle full to my brother who stored his in the freezer and took it out today when I was having my online lesson. And asked me if I'd like some, so of course I did, and guess what extra stuff I got?

Musings 006 | Birthday Wishes |

This is for a friend who's birthday was yesterday.

Nowadays, birthdays = messages on your Facebook wall, some even from people you hardly talk to. Sometimes it's just 2 words: Happy Birthday. You like their message on your wall and thank them, but that's it. Maybe one person in your Whatsapp group chat remembered today was your special day and wished you happy birthday in the chat group. Soon after many will follow. You won't know who really genuinely remembered, and who had to be reminded, by that friend, or by Facebook.

Thanks to those who...

Thanks to those who hated me,

You made me stronger.

Thanks to those who loved me,

You made my heart grow fonder.

Thanks to those who cared,

You made me feel important.

Thanks to those who entered my life,

You made me who I am today.

Thanks to those who left,

You showed me that nothing lasts forever.

Thanks to those who stayed,

You showed me the meaning of true friendship.

Thanks to those who listened,

You made me feel like I was worth it.

Thanks to those who ignored me,

You taught me to live without you.

Thanks to those who helped me,

You made me realise how much difference a helping hand could make.

Thanks to those who read my blog,

You are the reason I am still writing today.

walk until i become numb

Walking

Keep on walking,

One foot in front of the other

Hands swinging freely

Head front

Walking

Around in a large round

Each round probably bigger than a track field

Continue walking

Better to walk than to sit

Sit there with things

Tumbling in my head

Walking with a blank mind

Gotta keep it blank

Focus

Focus on the sounds

Focus on my shadow

Focus on where I'm going

Focus on not looking back

So I'll keep walking

Walk until I become numb

Numb is best

Numb won't let me feel anything

I feel moisture on my forehead, face, shirt

Cooling night breeze makes my skin semi-dry and sticky

The night is still

No movement except mi​​​​ne, 

Not a peep except my footsteps,

Walk until I become numb.

One round, two, then three

One of the street lamps break down

I keep on walking

The dogs probably recognise ​​​​me

By the third round the small guy's bark decreased by a third

Wanted to continue walking

Turn left and walk the fourth

To walk myself close to numbness

To feel the breeze

To hear the small guy

To duck my head to avoid the tree's outstretched branches

But good things come to an end

Sooner or later

And I took the right turn

Back to where I came from

So now

Even if my feet and legs aren't numb

At least my right hand is close to it

From scribbling madly on the paper.

《我的少女时代》Our Times

Something I'd like YOU to do today

Hello. After almost two years of blogging, I realised I've never created a (proper) survey for my readers to fill in, to give feedback and stuff. To me, feedback is important. You might have received a comment on your blog from me asking you to give some honest feedback.

Through feedback, I can roughly tell what you like and what you don't like about my blog design, content and such. This is why I finally made a survey which you might have seen on the right sidebar (unless you're on a mobile device).

Thank you in advance.

Examinations

Exams are part and parcel of school. You learn, you are examined for what you can learn. It's supposed to be like that, it has been like that, it is like that, and will be like that.

很久很久以后，我们才知道当一个女生说她再也不想理你了，不是真的讨厌你，而是她很在乎你，非常非常在乎你。
