Listening to Joanna Wang (王若琳) .
I have a thing for ladies with rasping, airy vocals. Reminds me of a rusty wooden kitchen with a guitar.

Aggravating, exacerbating, irritating, compounding, confusing, insufferable, overwhelming, oppressive, intolerable, mouth-shooting, brown-nosing, hair-pulling, face-slapping, grating, very very pestilencial thing!

*Loads in rock salt*

*Shoots self in head*

My misery is complete.

Random random update.
I've been privy to some top government secret intelligence that there is extra-terrestrial life-forms on Earth! More specifically, Singapore! Can you believe it? These things are commonly found in ADM posing as teachers - Psst, don't tell anyone. Now the CIA are all over my a$.

Had another high tea buffet at Lenas Cafe. Affordable and really good. Try it if you have the time and stomach. Food takes awhile to reach you but i really recommend the omelettes.

There is a hole in my shirt now cos I screwed the damn thing into a plastic tupperware.

Now you may ask me, "Lydia~! What the heck are ya doing screwing your shirt into a plastic repository you crazy thing!" And I would be obliged to smack you around the head because secondly, it was my favourite shirt and firstly, because I still can't get my car done right.



The car. Or the initial bits of it.
The brief: Attempt to assemble a working car out of stuffs. Failing which, kidnap a mechanical engineering undergrad from next door and force him to build it for you.

The only propeller is a rubberband. No hitting! Only torque power. I can understand why some people get a kick out of figuring stuff like that but those people aren't even in my same gene pool.


Nope darling, it still doesn't work.
But it does look like a stylish soap holder if you squint abit. OK BYE BYE!

Oh~ I am so touched .
A tiny newsletter site for me designed by Shan . This is better than Christmas .

The first week of school I say "How do you do"?
while I drag my feet up to my hall.
My bed is a mess and my heart is distressed
So just hand me that damn panadol!


The teachers are cruel with spades, sticks and trowels
As they shovel our workload on us.
And ~ argh WTH sick of rhyming .... so I'll just end it offf by saying......
HAPPY NEW YEAR. not



Live long and prosper

This came abit late but - pffft.... As Einstein says (he didn't) :"Speed is only relative to the inverse of motivation".

Shing-a-ding-ding~! In Plaza Singapura just beside Spotlight lies as hidden little cafe/garang-guni shop that allows you to have a nice cuppa while you ~ if your majesty would so desire ~ shop.
It's called Tea Cosy and good luck finding it ~
I had high tea there with Shan & as this is the very first time i have ever had high tea I really can't say if it's good or bad.


Well the entire shop is just bursting with cuteness and everything just screams "Don't Touch Me You Clumsy Fool!!" as the thousands of $50 per head porceline cherubs glower at you through their expensive eyes. I do say for whatever the portions I had for my high tea set, I was quite satisfied.


There were iity-bity pieces of button mushrooms ladden with blow-torched cheese (8/10)
Salmon slice on buttered bread (6/10)
Foie Gras (or however you spell that) on a spoon (8/10)
Buttered Bread with melted cheese (9/10) (damn, they were good)
Prawn in Coleslaw (5/10)
Ham and Pineapple on bread (6/10)
3 slices of 2cm^3 cakes (8/10)
2 raisin scones (7/10)
And a few others that were unmemorable because I can't seem to recall them anymore.

And a pot of Earl Grey Tea.

Ok, that was the good part. Now on to the bad part.
Went to Cafe Cartel with my family one day. Squeeze into an under-sized booth. Fumble with the menu. Sabotage the bread counter (my dad).

There are some food combinations that no matter how strangely you combine would still taste great. Like say : Chocolate and bananas. Or Prawns and Cheese. You can't go wrong with these kind of combos - never.

So why is it when I decided to order something innocent & safe-sounding like "Seafood Tempura Pasta" (come on, who the hell can screw up simple seafood like prawns or squid? And tempura? That's just frying.) Cafe Cartel gives me whole plate of crap.

I won't even begin to say how 2 angst-ridden prawns stared up at me from a heap of depressing looking pasta with 4 pieces of micro-mini squid inside as chewy as second-hand gum and as tasty as someone elses fingernails could possibly go so wrong.


Just look at that poor prawn. Sacrificed on the alter of abominable undercooked pasta. The gravy could have been amniotic fluid. My sister had chicken cutlet. At least her's was edible.

That's it!

CHRIS DAUGHTRY ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF !

BEST.SINGER.EVER. PERIOD !

Can't get enough of listening to his songs.
