A Chocolate-y World

It was less than a couple of months ago that the world went ga-ga for chocolate, with it being Valentine's day and all. And just over a month after that it went ga-ga again.. this time it's Easter.

Maybe it's just the lack of creativity, or the fact that after all the chocolate related holidays, I'm still sitting at my work desk, munching on peanut M&M's.

I've just come to a realization that we live in a pretty sweet world (technically speaking). When I was young, living in an Asian country, there wasn't alot of nice chocolate going around. So when my dad starts to travel the world on his numerous meetings and conferences, he always bring back tasty chocolate (which my mom proceed to hiding in her bedside table and occasionally place some in the fridge for me and my brother). But now, chocolate seems to appear in all types and sizes. There are chocolate bars (the actual sweets, not the place you go for drinks), chocolate fountain, chocolate scented orchids, and even chocolate hotel rooms. It's EVERYWHERE.

There was a time when I got bored of eating chocolate and it all seems so mundane. Now I wonder... would the brown beans loss their charm? Or would it continue to be a chocolate-(in)fest(ed) world?

The Doggy Broke My Computer!!!

The old 'the dog ate my homework' excuse just doesn't cut it for today's technologically "driven" world anymore does it? (I use the word "driven" lightly because it feels more like "controlled" than "driven", but feel free to argue...)

Here's a new excuse for you...

THE DOGGY BROKE MY COMPUTER!!!!

oh yeah! it did!!! my computer screen broke because he jumped on it. Granted it was my fault for leaving it on the floor, but I've left it on the floor before for months and he doesn't touch it, why now?????

It's a sign...URG! was annoyed but now ok... or at least getting there... I thought of getting the screen fix but it costs almost as much as getting a new one -_-' ...

Can you not squash my donut, PLEASE???

I walk pass a Krispy Kreme store every morning on my way to the train station. And since I don't usually have breakfast, the scent and sight of the donuts make my stomach growl. I give in from time to time... today is one of those times.

For some reason, today's train was extremely packed. I was pushed into the train and I didn't have to hold on to the poles or anything to stand up straight. This is bad on 2 accounts. One, I am push against strangers I would never elected to be pushed against. Two, not only am I pushed against those strangers, my donut is being harassed as well. O_O
Before boarding the train, I put the bag of donut in my handbag because.. well... it feels kind of sad holding a bag of a single donut while others are holding big boxes of them. This also means that the single donut is more vulnerable to being squish than the ones in the box. So.. please please rush hour train commuters... be gentle to my donut. I don't want to eat flatten dough in the morning :(

Note: I just found out the reason why the train was extremely packed this morning. There was an accident near one of the stations that caused a delay to the city bound trains. Even so, that is not an excuse to squash my donut. Yah, I'm talking to you, BIG, tall lady!!!

A Kind Heart in a Crowded Train

This post was originally in my "new" blog... but since that went off in flames, I thought I shouldn't let my words go to waste... so... here's that entry... the only one I wrote for that blog -_-'

A Kind Heart in a Crowded Train

I was touched this morning (emotionally, not physically -_-).

Everyone knows that morning peak hours are full of people who (probably) woke up late and trying to push themselves on the train so they won't get to the office later than they already are. I anticipated this morning to be no different.

Oh, how wrong I can be!!!

Upon boarding the train, I was standing right behind an old lady. One look at her tells me this: Her mission - to get in the train unharmed Destination - an empty seat She courageously pushed her way inside the train but was blocked by people who got in before her. She seeped in between the people looking for an empty seat. When she was about to walk up (or down) the stairs to continue her search, a man in shorts and a t-shirt got up and offered her his seat...

I was touched~ I saw it all happen... there is still goodness in the world!!! When the world starts to look darker than muddy water, a small act of kindness like this erased all that is wrong with the world in my eyes. I was overwhelmed by a sense of serenity, an intense calmness washes over me and transports me to a perfect world...............


...............until someone elbowed me on the back and i was brought back to reality -_-

Over and over again

After tweaking with the new blog, once again, I decided to come back to Blogger. It's exactly what Jupperz said, "I only like (name eliminated on purpose) for the pretty templates". I never learn! I mean, this is probably the 4th time I've been trying to migrate to another blog without success. Also (if you're not blind), you'll probably notice the cute template I am using to re-launch (yet again) my blog. It's sooooo adorable, no? It's designed by Gisele Jaquenod. Her work are so cuuuuuuuuuute!!!

PS. if you're reading this after April 3, 2008, I have already changed the blog template again. So if you want to see the cuuuuuuuuuute blog templates by Gisele, you can always visit her blog. :)

I'm still alive

Due to a number of requests to update my blog (ONE, to be exact), here it is....

Now that I have more time... ok.. that's a hint to people who knows me... when I say that I have 'more time', it usually means I am working and thus needing some distraction... notice how I blog more when I was still in uni, but not so much after I graduated? (oh, by the way, I graduated last December). So... now that I have more time, I shall start blogging again... in fact, I have so much time that I created another blog... just for the sake of having it. I will let you all know the URL for the new blog as soon as I've tweaked around with it.

So, yes, I am alive, and yes, I am working now, and yes, I am still in Sydney. Thanks for all the concerns people (person). I'm still alive.

:)
