happiness
is all but
a tiny little feeling
talk to me,

daphne 妮妮


I love Mean and Tribe!!! I have the habit of talking to myself in my head but I'm just relieving emotional moments. So please do not be alarmed if you catch me murmuring with an expression on my face.

I really love to eat and I like to try quirky foods he he he, but I don't think I can ever stomach the thought of swallowing bugs and slimy things. Some of my favourite foods are plain white rice, strawberry icecream, mochi, pineapple tarts, seaweed, bahkwa, chocolate, sushi, fish&chips from Manhattan Fish Market, soya dango, new york cheesecake, sea salt caramel, chewy things, bubble tea with chewy pearls, beef horfun, custard bun, tausar pao, charsiew pao, all sorts of pao, brown rice, irish cream, chocolat,

if i had money

straw hat, slimmer tummy, iPhone5?, flower for my hair, clearer skin, braces, true love

technology fails me ... again
I think it's high time to shop for new gadgets cos my gadgets are getting old and failing me! :D Any recommendations for laptops which are both pretty on the outside and inside? :D I'm thinking of getting an iPhone this September, when my contract expires hahaha I know I am kinda slow and was anti-iPhone previously but seriously who can resist its appeal!!! The flipside is getting an iPhone for me is more of following the trend and leveling with everyone else, I don't really play games on it or anything. :( I'm more of a Nintendo person. So getting an iPhone is pretty wasteful hor.......

one girl's abalone is another's ...
Haha my mom is so cute, she came out of her room just to confirm with me that I'm lending her my iPod for the moment. Hehe and when I said yes she was like "Good night!!! :D :D :D :D" in her cutesy voice heeheehee :D She wants my iPod Touch so that she can play shady puzzles when she takes public transport. Hahaha I don't know what to make of this! :D But I don't know how shady puzzles work, so I guess I can't judge her!

I just came back from a delicious dinner at skcc heehee, complete with abalone (mind you hehe) and the works woohoo! Thank you grassroots for this dinner yay I am a happy girl! :D The emcee sings well but he tells dirty jokes which make me blush and giggle much to my dismay. :( I try not to giggle at dirty jokes because it makes me look less innocent and decent. (absolutely no offence to anyone) I always feel that guys make less of me when I laugh at dirty jokes. :/

Fi is extremely blue because K is going for his holiday in Tekong tomorrow!!! And she won't see him for the next fourteen days! But she gets to send him off all the way into Tekong!! Exciting much heehee! :D I guess I'll never ever have a boyfriend to accompany into Tekong because I'll never ever date a younger boy. (dramatic sigh) I'll never know how she feels now! :( I am going to chop one of my brother's tickets so I can see what is it like in Tekong heeheehee SORRY GIRLFRIEND YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOUR OWN BROTHER muahahaha

caught in the middle
I'm back for Round Two of technology torture!!!! But at the very least, it's working better than it was yesterday night, so no complaints! Just saw the photographs we took two weeks ago (?) for our annual Sengkang YEC Photoshoot. :( I am not exactly very pleased with the way my face turned out to look like. Hmm I guess the act-demure face really doesn't work for me. (dramatic sigh) Sianz I shall revert back to my smileymiley face! Anyone has any tips on how to work the camera??? Can someone please enlighten me if not my career plans on the big screen are ruined forever!!!!!!! T.T

I don't know if I should get a new 8-5 job, or just give tuition at the luxury of my own time; both of which sounds wonderful but I can't find the heart to quit my current job!!! Daddy says that I must learn to think for myself sometimes but it's really difficult to find the courage and right words to say at times like this. I'd really like more time for myself and to earn more money but I really don't know how to break the news to the principal. And it doesn't help with the kids being so adorable......... :(

delicious
I had a lot on my mind this morning, but now it's all gone. :O Maybe it's the late night and I'm exhausted. :( :( Mom wants to borrow my iPod Touch until she buys a new iPhone and I'm supposed to help her update the software so she can play the new app she's downloaded. But I can't seem to do it!!! Gahhh technology irritates me. Period. I wonder what would life be like if computers were never invented for leisure; Facebook wasn't discovered; there's no such thing as gameboys and the list goes on.

It's half an hour past midnight and I'm grumpy because I can't deal with technology and I am hungry for snacks. :( My brother brought in a new fad diet, which is to eat anything but carbohydrates, to the house and my mom stuck with it for two whole weeks. Like WHATTTT no carbohydrates for two weeks means you can't eat anything lor!!!! No rice, no noodles, no bread, no sweet drinks, no nothing you might as well kill me oh my gosh. The only things that you can probably eat are vegetables and meat. And according to him, fruits, but then again fruits contain carbohydrates what!! This doesn't make sense. Much as I am against this ridiculous diet and has chided him umpteen times about making my mom go through this insanity, I am tempted to try it myself cuz my mom lost two kg in two weeks. I don't think I can survive a day without carbohydrates so I shall only have carbohydrates once everyday hahaha

On a side note, I passed by Tom's Palette today and I was so tempted by all its wonderfully quirky flavours!!! I adore quirky icecreams hehe but I was a good girl and I didn't give in to temptation, which explains why my mind is still thinking about the icecream and hence the title of the post. :(

chinese new year
Hohoho! Reading all the Facebook statuses makes me wonder if the spirit of the lunar new year has been lost in our generation.... Not that I'm trying to say anything, but listening to the many anecdotes Daddy fondly shares during the gatherings, I feel a tinge of jealousy that new year gatherings seem to be a bane for me (and many of us) rather than something to look forward to. :< I would very much like to reminiscise childhood memories with my cousins and discuss them with glee but sadly I don't remember spending much time with them as a child. And the awkward pauses (and sometimes stares) I get from making small talk with them is enough to discontinue any subsequent efforts. I hate awkward silences. :<

Shelving aside unhappy thoughts, I am so so so so happy eating all the chinese new year goodies!!!! :D :D :D Oh gosh, food really makes the world go round, as in literally! I love my gramma's bak kut teh hahaha yummeh, but actually hor it's not really hers. The recipe belongs to my grandfather, but since he's in the heavens and my grandmother is his beloved wife, I shall declare the bak kut teh as hers!!!! Someday, I am going to become their successor and open a bak kut teh shop and earn millions muahahahaha call me Queen of Bak Kut Teh :D :D :D I have a newfound passion in pineapple tarts and rolls despite their high calorie count; they are so delicious!!!!!! Although I am utterly in love with them, I limit myself to one per house with the exception of my own hahaha where I can have two :< Maybe I should marry the King of Pineapple Tarts. Or the Prince, who may be younger and more dashing hahahaha. ... I think too much. What I really wanted to say was, everybody should remember to drink more water especially when gorging on all the heaty goodies because nobody wants to fall sick like me :< :<

(off to guzzle on more kuehbulu)

incomplete
Nyah hahaha. Apparently my previous attempt at reviving my poor old blog wasn't such a successful one! So this time, I am back!! For real!! I'll try to write as regularly as I can, so my language skills do not degenerate and I can still think in complete coherent thoughts. Not going to school is a pretty bad thing actually, no wonder the government insists on at least six years of compulsory education. Ever since my last paper, all I had been doing was, well not exactly nonsensical brainless fun, I did meaningful things okay!!! But they weren't exactly the brain-stimulating sort. :< Hmmmm.... (meaningful pause) I should get back to honing my Japanese and brushing up my Chinese. (the primary schoolers at daycare have been testing me with all sorts of weird funny questions in their workbooks oh no i have to upgrade myself)

The sheltered child has finally came out of her shell and found a job!!! :D Haha take that everybody-who-doubts-my-employability!!! (is there even such a word nvm) I have started work at a daycare centre near my previous house. I don't understand myself, I like to seek employment/education at places that are nowhere near my house. But that's not the point! The point is I am now part of Singapore's labour force, rendering my services to the nation. (plays grand music and basks in self-affirmed glory) The children at the centre are so adorable they make me feel like having a few children myself!!!!! :D :D But I have no potential mate and I can't even support myself, not to mention them :< :< :< Still, the daycare kids made me realise how important it is to find good caregivers for young children and it made me reconsider being a stay-at-home mom instead of the career-minded woman I wanted to be. And working here also made me swear to myself that I'll never be the kind of kiasu parents who drive daycare teachers crazy with their unreasonable and impossible requests!!!!!! :O :O :O Angry like dontknowwhat.

I am going to stop writing now because I have so many things to talk about, one entry's not gonna be enough! I am going to split them all into different entries! Okay la actually the real reason is that I want to eat dinner now HAHAHA I am such a hungry girl!!! hungry = angry + sad + a little mad

Happy chinese new year everyone! :D
