Bad decisions make good stories. And I always have a good story.

Happy Mother’s Day to my bae

Happy Mother’s Day to the person I’m closest with in the whole wide world, the one who’s always been there and whom I can’t live without. I love you even though I might not always show it. And even when you’re angsty (shouldn’t it be the other way round?? LOL)

All’s good though, because look at the influx of emoticons. Women who are truly mad don’t use emoticons, agree? Hmm I think she feels neglected this year because I haven’t been spending as much one-on-one time with her 🙁

I totally felt like this when we were in Bangkok last November, way before I saw this tweet. Had this moment where I was laughing so heartily and looking at her, feeling so happy that she was here to enjoy all of these with me.

So last Sunday (May 3), was having supper at Swee Choon with Estelle, Jeremy and CK then we were asking each other all sorts of rubbish as usual. One question that came up was what our favourite food was. Having eaten so many nice things, I couldn’t decide on an answer.

But when the question changed to what we would want to eat if it was our last meal, I suddenly found it so much easier to answer. My mum’s chicken rice! Which made me realise that I could eat all the heavenly food in the world, but my mum’s cooking — full of love and warmth — will always be tops.

Anyway, the three of them started asking me nonsense hypothetical questions (must be revenge for all the times I did it to them). For examples, two trains are crashing and each carry people but I can only choose one group to save.

“Will you save your hamster or a newborn baby?”
“My hamster la.”
“Innocent baby leh??!!?” Your hamster or 3 newborns?”
“Hamster.”
“Ten, hundred newborns?”
“My hamster. It’s about the emotional attachment.”

“What about your hamster, who is stuffing its face with food…
“Versus a child who is crying, screaming and looking at you pleadingly?”
“Hmm ok la then the child lor. My hamster won’t know what hit it.”

Asked them why they keep using hamsters and they said it’s because hamsters are my deal-breakers. Then they brought my mum into the picture. I obviously chose my mum for everything until…

“What if your mum is on the same train as Hitler?”
“And you know if he survives, he’s gonna commit genocide.”
“What if your mum IS Hitler?”

“Your parents versus an entire village of healthy, useful people?”
“My parents la.”
“What if they are old and sickly already?”
“Then I’ll ask them because it’s their choice to make, not mine.”
“Yeah you all will have time to sit down and have a discussion right.”

Then my non-existent husband got involved too…

“What if your husband killed your hamster?”
“If purposely, no chance. Say bye bye. Accidentally maybe can forgive after a while.”
“What if your husband killed your mum?”
“Then he die la.”
“What if your husband killed your mum after she asked him to?”
“He die also.”
“What if your husband let your mum commit suicide?”
“Still die. It’s basic human decency leh.”
“What if your mum committed suicide and asked you not to blame your husband?”
“…………..”

Bae = Before Anyone Else 😀

And if you are still searching for the perfect Mother’s Day gift, why not try Zalora? Even my mum is a fan of their lovely + reasonably priced + quality items! Was looking at their Melissa Jelly flats for women and now I’m so tempted to get stuff for myself (as usual haha).

Such a pretty colour… And the thing about this range of Melissa flats is that they are completely comfortable (bye blisters) and come with a signature bubblegum scent!

Shiny, glittery, has bows… does that remind you of anyone lol.


Not myself

By the time you read this, I’d be in Hong Kong 😀
(post written on Friday, 6 March, 9.20pm).

I know, I know… super sudden and last minute just like New Zealand especially since I only just went HK last November. But it’s another opportunity too good to pass up and there’s free lodging at a hotel. It’s a holiday out of my own expenses la okay, you think every month got sponsored trip meh?!

Work has been so cray cray this week that I did nothing / went nowhere / saw no friends except work on robot mode. But it’s the only thing I feel efficient at and can focus on properly these days.

At least I love my job. Team-bonding day at Labrador Park today with other departments. Wanted to say I woke up way too early for this but then I realised I didn’t even sleep… again. I’m gonna so regret my lifestyle when I’m 30 and look 60 sigh.

Feeling very irresponsible lately because I keep leaving tasks till the very last minute then realising I have no time when I finally want to do it. Even stuff like cleaning my hamsters’ cages. Or how I left today’s event early before even eating the catered dinner so that I could go home and pack my luggage.

Hating myself for how long I took to finish my Auckland article and even more so because I’m not exactly satisfied with the way it turned out. Ugh… I disappoint myself.

Feeling very messed up. Not very myself recently I guess thanks to more stress and insecurities and whatever else than usual.

Hopefully all the shopping and good food in Hong Kong will do me good. It’s one of the many crazy and out-of-nowhere surprises that Life has sprung on me this year so I’m gonna make the best out of it.

And if you are stuck in Singapore, don’t worry! Some retail therapy will do the trick. Be sure to check out the wide range of women’s wallets on Zalora! So many pretty items that left me spoilt for choice:

Yup lots of pink… but I mean, have you seen what I was wearing at today’s event? And the font colour of the text you are reading now… hehehe.
