Olympus Pen E-PM1. Pink. Great photos for the lazy photographer. Maybe I can be a wedding photographer.

On happiness

I'm becoming increasing convinced that happiness is a choice. It's as simple as choosing what you want for dinner. If you don't like your dinner, change it or make another. Tragically, some feel that they cannot make their dinner choices. I guess making your own choices forces you to be fully responsible for the consequences. And people don't want that kind of responsibility. And the choices one makes may reflect the dark and probably sinister aspects of self that many refuse to confront.

People like to keep believing that they are angels when they really are not.

Yellow Retriever Cakes

Okay.. I just baked a Japanese style green tea cake. It's a 10 day belated birthday cake for OF. OF says it is like Black Hound cakes so I'm naming it Yellow Retriever Cakes after my dear Purin.

Here is Purin with a real Black Hound cake.

And other pictures of the green tea cake. Looks pro eh? I was too cheap to buy powdered green tea / matcha... So I chopped up green tea leaves instead. :-|

Tortoise

My tortoise is still alive and well. Yar yar, I know it's a turtle, but I like to call it tortoise. He is 15 this year. I had him since Primary 5. Gosh I'm old.

Flu + Milk intolerance

Fact: If you don't get the flu shot, you'll probably get the flu.

And I think I am allergic to fresh milk. Darn my life.

MBS Hawker

I just spent 1 hour of my life watching an interview on the MBS hawker who won a 416k. I'm struck by her attitude towards life. I guess it proves what everyone has been saying.. that I am darn auntie. But I won't mind if I can live like her. It's not the money but the attitude towards people and animals. I wish I have the guts to do the things she did.

Another late night post

Life has been pretty rough these days. Some of it is real, some of it imaginary, other parts self created.

I've been getting flickering moments of insight. I guess all things happen for a reason aka karma.

I guess I'm at that age where the window to "the life I always wanted to have" is closing. Once past 30, your life is more or less set. There is a reason why the Fields Medal is only meant for those under 40.

I'm a sucker for nostalgia. If you watched Midnight in Paris, you will understand. The 80s really appeal to me. Yes, I'm addicted to iphone games, but I still prefer the pre smartphone, facebook era. It just seems so wrong. These day everyone stares into a back lit screen for hours on end.

Okay, back to my point. I feel that your 20s really define your life. The people who 'succeed' have it all figured out. The faster you figure life out, the more time you have to work towards your goals. Even now, among people in their 20s, I can see that the more focused people are in a better place as compared to those who are just lumbering along.

I stumbled upon this blog about Singapore. It feeds my need for nostalgia and has nice xinyaos. I'm glad I'm not the only person into such things.

早安老师 + 再见老师

Old school. The things I sing at home.





Oh, and I missed school and now what...

Today, my alarm did not go off as planned (DARN YOU SMART PHONE TECHNOLOGY) and I missed school. And I was upset, still upset, am upset. And I find this is rather ridiculous. Why am I so upset over such a small thing? Maybe it is the Singaporean cannot-ever-miss-school mentality that I was brought up with. Argh, I feel like my life is almost over and I haven't yet lived. I have to go do something. But there is nothing better at the moment. Life is all relative.
