After our extremely fruitful morning jog (ahem), we proceeded to go to breakfast at KFC. Lost in a game involving numbers and had to do a dare again!

Today I had to ask the KFC worker if I can have free ice lemon tea.

Manager: Hi, can I help you?
Me: Umm yes please. One free ice lemon tea please.
Manager: I'm sorry? *frowns*
Me: Can I one free ice lemon tea...
Manager: *already looking at me like I'm crazy but had to keep up her professionalism* I'm sorry but what do you mean free ice lemon tea.
Me: Oh. You don't give free ice lemon teas out?
Manager: No we don't
Me: Okay thank you.

All this in a straight face. While I can see Nadia laughing like crazy at the side, not wanting to be seen by the manager. Quite a feat to not laugh considering I break into laughter as often as kids fidget during assembly.

NICE RIGHT!

At first I thought this was an extreme article as I thought the "good" character was a bit rude. But there was a twist in the end.

Dear readers,

HOWDY HOWDY.
A Level is finally over!
No more stuffing of notes late at night.
No more last minute chionging of revisions.
Last but not least, NO MORE STUDYING (at least for the next two years or so)!!!!
*screams*
BUT the worse has yet to come. =/
Let me enjoy first. Haha.

Well, since I have some free time before I sleep,
I shall write something here tonight.

Life has been tough (as always) but I've learnt many things through it all.
Relationships are more complicated than I thought they supposed to be.
What is love actually?
I've been pondering about it recently.
What do we love anyway?
Love is so commonly used among our daily conversations and it is frequently used excessively and inappropriately.
What is the actual extent of the consequences of the usage of that word?
The love of family?
The love of partners?
The love of superficiality?
The love of self?
The love of world?

I have this idea striking on me lately.
How many a time we treat our partners as our very good friends instead of someone to share your everything and anything?
How many a time we actually love the person for who they are instead of what they can provide for us?
How many a time we enjoy the company instead of demanding more and more of the person?
How many a time we think for the world instead of ourselves?
How many a time we can sacrifice for something we truly believe in instead of doing what the mainstream is ought to be?
And how many a time we actually sit down and ponder about what we humans can do and our purpose instead of wasting our lives away in vain?

I was told that "Though there may be so many religions in the world, they are all together one religion, and that is the religion of love."
I was taken aback by that statement.
It created so much commotions within me.
So much questions left unanswered.
Yet I was deeply enlightened by it.
I could not agree more.

The sky was beautiful tonight.
With a picture painted by the clouds.
Standing there gazing at the masterpiece.
I can't help but feel safe under the embrace of love.

Good night to all. (:

Always on the lookout for compelling images, we were delighted to discover this flourishing community of artists who share a love of nature. Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and
other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

I know, I've been over-posting recently and I resent that. But this is a tribute to the always beautiful & real Daul & thus it's important.









“i need to learn how to stop destroying myself
stop being hard on myself and be nice to myself
i need to keep telling myself that
i need to keep wanting something
something nice
something warm
more than just a fur coat
because i can make other people happy
i can understand other people’s pain
because
i can love even after all that is left of me is gone
because i have that strength.”



Rest in peace.



*edit (24/11): they closed Daul's blog :c( "say hi to (bye) forever.."

Today I was eating an ice cream cone in one hand and texting with the other. Thinking I was cool for multitasking, as I walked down a flight a stairs on campus, I licked my phone. MLIA



Today, my mom called and I hit reject. It sent her my reject message of: "I'm defending the campus from the evil black squirrels. Call back later." Her response... "Take no prisoners." You got it mom.

Yesterday, I watched a horror movie and wasn't scared once. Today, my bagel popped out of the toaster and nearly gave me a heart attack. MLIA.



Today, I renamed my recycle bin to Azkaban. Then I made a folder and named it Voldemort. When I clicked delete, my computer asked me: "Are you sure you want to send Voldemort to Azkaban?" MLIA

Mylifeisaverage.com is awesome.

Yay to photos that makes you feel all peaceful.
