Rare chance to see such a rainbow. 

It reminded me how often it felt like heavy rain but by enduring to the end, a beautiful rainbow would be formed.

dull moments


i can't stand being emo about this, but i think i'd really miss you. i stood there waiting for you to look back, but by the time you did, i was observing from afar. i love you my friend.

ONLY YOU...
can stand my tantrums and put me in place,
know what i need to hear at specific moments,
read my thoughts,
think the way i do sometimes,
eat what i feel like having.

BLACK DAY vs VDAY

Black Day (April 14) is a South Korean informal tradition for single people (a.k.a. Unit Solo/Solo Regiment, lee: 솔로부대) to get together and eat Jajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce), sometimes a white sauce is mixed for those who did not celebrate White Day.
The idea is that those who did not give or receive gifts on Valentine's Day or White Day can get together and eat Jjajangmyeon (짜장면), white Korean noodles with black bean sauce (hence the name), to commiserate their 
singledom.

(Saint) Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cardspresenting flowers, or offering confectionery.



VDAY ended with company from a long-time bestie. okay maybe not long LONG but long enough. Hate to be caught up with the craze of importance of event, what's the use if love and joy is just another activity...

the weekend is half gone, meaning back to dreary days at school. with half of Feb gone, it just scares me...

delightful breakfast :)

100th post


started the day with a good breakfast! though sadly, i didn't have a chance to have my homely bread from C.M.C. Which would only open at 8am.


Tim and i head to a coffeeshop nearby. had my unusual $3 carrotcake portion and finished it all! i really want to try that Sarawak Laksa beside the carrotcake stall. SOON!


 nice.

escape

when the going gets tough, i like to think of good times. 
Obviously the past and not the present. the JEWELS(above), is amongst the long list of comfort food. 

i remember myself as a young child eating these snacks. biting the icing off first and just dreading to have the plain biscuit. 

i guess most of the time i want only the good stuff and become reluctant and unwilling to accept the lousy events that come my way. 

i'm now in a period where i can't even stop to find myself. looking at the simpler things in life just make me smile. <3

if only there wasn't a care in the world.

beach outing almost forgotten...

i feasted over Carls' Junior onion rings for that evening... it was just simple and relaxing, EXCEPT when i had to run to keep the kite in the air and when Seth was horrified at the sea water.

i can't seem to get back to reality, that i have school. and my body is retardedly reacting to this. Like falling sick twice in 3 weeks?! after coughing miserably today, i decided i really needed medical attention(wise advice from friends). i hope by tonight it'll heal miraculously and i'll be back on track!
Seth staring lovingly at his FRY while mother gobbles onion rings up mercilessly... Skinny Seth really makes me green with envy, even with all the trash he eats, never puts on an ounce. 
our dear 1st lady-in-waiting trying to compare face sizes with the onion ring. SEE BELOW.
Now we know Seths' head isn't as huge as we think it is. OKAY FINE, big for his age. 
SETH FLYING A KITE! 

yeah sure.... 

it's almost end of week 5. 


He is like a tree planted by streams of water, 
       which yields its fruit in season 
       and whose leaf does not wither. 
       Whatever he does prospers.

things i love about seth...

Seth not wanting to go school

Seth: i don't want to go schooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: why you don't want to go school?!
Seth: i scaaaarreeeed! 
Me: why you scared....?
Seth: i scared of Teacher Oh!
Me: why?!?!
Seth: She beat me!
Me: why beat you?
Seth: (changes subject...)

Seth reasoning why he should get a picture book of animals

Seth: I want this one!
Grandpa: why you want this book without words?
Seth: because.. because.. i want to learn more about animals..
Grandpa: (grins widely) --> buys it straight away.

Seth giving his reason for not attending one day of school to Teacher

Teacher: Seth, why didn't you come to school yesterday?
Seth: Because, last night i pray and pray, because i'm scared
Teacher: Woah Seth! You prayed and prayed...!
