A Lesson In Organics.

Image
 I've been a little more conscious of eating healthy lately. Not sure if it's because I got updated with Monsanto, ( almost enough to make you want to only drink mountain water for the rest of your life)  because my eczema has been acting up (more on this next time) or because the haze has made me realize how unhealthy everything is.. So anyway! I've been buying more organic and I try my best to stay away from processed food.  Don't get me wrong, I've not turned into an organic-nazi, going around the canned food aisle and setting fire to their preservative-filled foods that last for a year. I'm just being more conscious of what I'm eating because I realize our bodies absorb everything we ingest and I'm trying to be healthier la ok? #defensive On a recent trip to the supermarket,  we got some organic black soya beans to make soya bean milk and organic almonds for almond milk. (I know, I sound so pretentious throwing all these "organic" words in ...

Comfort level: Flight of The Bumblebee.

I did some work for a friend of my mums recently; "..so she said she really liked working with you.  You know initially, she was just like so-so with you" my mum tells me. "What do you mean?" "She said when she first met you, you kinda kept to yourself" "Hey, when I met her I was really busy!" "But now she says she really likes you after working with you. I told her, that you were like me! We don't talk much when we meet new people but once we do oh boy!" "Yea once we warm up to someone right?" "I told her, when trixha warms up to you she really warms up to you. But when she really really warms...OH DEAR I don't think you can get rid of her" T.T "...all the weird things start coming out" Gee thanks mum. To me, when you first meet someone you're still trying to figure them out right? What kind of conversationalists they are, if politics get them riled up, if they are easily offended..... if they ...

I don't get high fives.

"Okay we'll see you soon okay?" *puts both palms up waiting for a high 10* - "I really have to work on my poker face huh?" "Ya, so obvious that you weren't comfortable with the high five hahahha" - I don't get high fives guys.  Like I get 'good job' high fives or like 'yay we won' high fives but not so much 'let's high five for fun' high fives. You see,  ' good job'  high fives are saying without saying;  "yea we did a good job, but we don't have to hug about it ok? be cool man. be cool." 'Yay we won'  high fives: "we slayed those muthas but we don't have to hug about it ok? be cool man. be cool."  ' Good bye'  high fives? I didn't even know that was a thing.  What does it mean?  "Yea you're leaving! Awlllrihhtt man!  Let's high five to celebrate your departure" *high fives* I can't seem to wrap my head around greeting high fives either, ...

"I almost died"

Image
There was a heavy downpour the other day, the wind was howling and the sky was glum, showing off it's dullest shade of grey. I looked outside the window at the angry skies wondering if Bob would arrive soon. Trees were swaying, some of their branches gave way and fell onto the cars. A strong gust and a loud thud, I saw one of the branches fall into my porch.  I sighed at the displeasing weather.  Soon after, Bob's car pulled up in the driveway.  He braved the rain and managed to get in unscathed. "I nearly died just now"  he says as he sees me, his eyes widening. "Why what happened?" "A branch fell onto the roof of my car, it was so loud I was sure I was going to die" "Then?" "BAAAAM! It was so loud!  Then it rolled down onto my windscreen and I realized it was this big" he pulls his palms apart. I had actually forgotten about it until we went to his car and I said, eh why is this here? "There!!! that's the branch that ...

An Atas Dinner In The Sky.

Image
"Hey look they have dinner in the sky" "Wanna go ah?" "Hmm maybe" And then tickets were sold out within 2 days and I was like.. "Maybe we should have gone huh!" "Not scared ah?" "Yea actually I am scared of heights! I might cry hahaha"  ...that's what I would have said but instead I heard myself saying; "No la! I don't think so! I think I wanted to go!  I'm sure it's not scary!" I don't know what possessed me at that moment, maybe it's that kiasu feeling you get when you know you can't get something anymore. I'm sure you know the one.  Then Bob somehow managed to find tickets for a later dinner seating and he surprised me with the booking and I was like YAY!  but also like "Shit, I don't know if I can handle this." I went to the toilet twice before we went up and between you and me,  I still needed to go the entire time..even after I just went. I barely touched my water ...

The O.G.

Image
I made a quick trip down to Hong Kong to see my grandmother, I missed her! She's the most active 90+ year old ever. When I first arrived, she asked me if I wanted Milo and of course, she wanted to make it for me. So she lifted this heavy glass jar of Milo from the top cabinet and I when I tried to get it she said; "No, I know how to do. I can!" Most of the trip consisted of that when I would try to help her do things like turn on the light or get up and she's like "You go and do your own thing, I'm okay" then I'd be like "No ma, I got nothing to do, you're the one who's teman-ing me!" She's been doing well! Her leg's doing better (it's been giving her trouble for awhile) and she's walking pretty fast these days.   "Don't walk so fast ma, I can't keep up with you!"  #drama  She even pushed me on the wheelchair, and when I jokingly told her to go faster..she did! O.O! That's when I jumped off and ...

A Punch In The Feels.

Image
We were talking about feels music when Bob said; "Have you heard Bon Iver's version of I Can't Make You Love Me? "Hmm..I know the song, not his version" Then he pulled it up for me to listen to and told me about all the agony in Bon Iver's voice and how it's so relatable and you can feel his anguish.  "I even learnt how to play it on piano" Bob says. "Oh...for meee? When you emo about me last timeee huh?" *insert a nudge nudge and smug look* *silence* Yea, totes about me. Hahahah! I wanted to send it to a few of my friends, but I was worried they'd get the wrong idea and think I'm trying to tell them something.  So anyway! Listen to it. It'll make your soul hurt  :x x
