Amazing, just the way you are

Amazing sky color! 
Sometimes, it will be nice to stop by and appreciate the goodness around you.
Really, it did lightens the heavy mood.

Orientation day

lol. With a sudden A-Ha moment, I've decided to do some prep for the beginning of school- making introduction of myself. Unwittingly, people have the tendency to create nice nice first impression and hence find people of the same social circle. e.g. the partygoers, the geeks, the sportgoers, blah blah. And naturally, I'm always in my usual comfort circle, needless to say. (: I'm tired of the masquerade and more or less, I will just act the way I usually am, unless, I'm on a shield. Like a crab!
Possibly hard or sadly "edible" on the outside... But I'm no mean feat! 

I don't think I am the super girl-next-door person, which I always have the perception that people see me as that. -.- Damn it. And I'm not super studious, this explains my choice of school. Neither am I outgoing, I don't like socializing and meeting people, which explains my comfortable social circle. Yet, sometimes, I feel kinda D: that I don't have any close close friend. Generally, I'm more of a homely person, I love my family more and my cousins! Yeap.

Physically, I'm big sized for a normal Singaporean girl. Tall and possibly on the fat zone. Sometimes, I did think my size don't really fit my character, I would prefer to mingle and blend rather than stand out with my size. Sigh. However, on the bright side, the height sometimes give me the privilege and edge for acting 'adult' and definitely a good assistant for those "height-challenged" friends! And I always hesitate when wearing heels since I am "attention" conscious.

I have a signature tired or bored face. If that disgusts you, then back off. Cos, that is my natural look and apologies if that disturbs you then. As the saying goes, "Never judge a book by its covers". (:

I'm literally bad in flexibility and coordination! Heh, so I hate dancing! Dread learning any moves as I feel like a joker.

Many friends think I'm daring with food. But I think I'm normal, at least, I hate eating any animal innards and never tried smelly beancurd. I eat wasabi, bittergourd and love all my vegetables. I drink brewed coffee but not addicted to it and super love the one brewed by my ah yi! I love thunder tea rice and find this name funny. I wonder if there is lightning tea rice? So, when it comes to FOOD, I'm super flexible. :D 

I've the penchant for doing things at the eleventh hour, especially for stuff that I resent. But I believe with pent up determination, I can and will do stuff well! 


Overall, I love things that are different from the rest but I'm not weird, that's for sure. I'm very normal. So don't bully me leh.

Heh. Is it good orientation?

Day three

Dear Shooting Star,
I must keep telling myself Failure is nothing and nothing can hurt my ego! Sometimes I always ponder why people around are always times better than me... That is definitely my flaw, stubborn and gives up easily. D:
This week, I shall prove it wrong! That I can make it for the 7 days, it ain't too long. I just need to be numbed so I can resist all the food temptations. I'm DETERMINED. Whoosh. I shall never let the diet industry keep sucking my money!!! 
Perhaps, it's kind of my life, that I need tons more effort or encouragement to get what I want. Face it and take it and challenge it! 


"Every Accomplishment starts with the decision to try" 
Never mind if I fail cos I can always try! :D
Love,
Heal

Cookie

Hello Freedom. 
Since once again I'm such a free person, I decided to bake cookies! And I chance upon a pretty good website and credits to the "Happy Home Baking" blog, I managed to bake some cute doggie/ monster cookies. :D


Use a lightly salted butter otherwise the dough will be too salty, so invest on a better butter! 
Put more than the stated chocolate chips number if you're a chocolate freak like me!
I used Milo instead of Horlicks


The dogs did look like aliens though and the white nose is made of white sesame seed.

The cookie texture is smooth and buttery, though I expected a more chunky cookie. Somehow, the baked dough tasted like the kind for making the pineapple tarts... 
However, I think the Koko Crunch doesn't really complement with the taste of the cookie. Somehow, it is merely a decoration and fyi, it's the dog's ears. 

Eating dog head.
Love,
Heal
