  • the wrong kind of right

    a sitting in the porch soaking in the water drizzle from the torrential rain never felt better =)

    often times, people always strive to obtain what they want, and more often than not, the best you can get. its actually all basic human needs, what economists term unlimited wants and needs. but does what an individual want and need actually a fit, or rather right for them? take clothes for example. you see it on mannequins, on other individuals, on the racks, in pictures and what nots and you think... hmm thats very pretty, so you hunt for it, get them in your size, in your hands even, and you head to the fitting room and try it on hoping that it would look as good on you when you first perceived, and at times (or rather more often that not) it just doesnt fit. it may fit very right at a certain part but totally wrong on another. and no matter how much you like it and thinks it will fit if you just put in some effort to somehow make it work, it just wouldnt -assuming no alterations, and most definitely not tailor made- and this, i observed, is life. this happens in all (or most?) aspects of life. with relationships with people,  factor in work, your love hate relationship with life, and like example, clothes :S . so, question is do you change something perfect to suit yourself or do you change yourself to suit that perfect something?
    i reckon i am more inclined to change something perfect to suit myself but at times when life gets the better of me, ill reflect and contemplate whether should i myself be the one who should instead change and mould myself into perfection. contradictory? you bet.

    summer hols are coming to an end, and i think i am ready to get back to routine and life in exe. i will most definitely miss home, -the people, you know who you are , and food indefinitely- but i guess its about time to not live idly and get back to having to live life on my toes for now. i had one of the best years in year 2 and dont think i will experience the same again. but with (i think) zero expectations, who knows what final year will hold for me?

    home is great, i do nothing, i get nagged for doing just that, i ate to my hearts content and expended my waistline like no tomorrow, i spent time with family and got chummier with my nieces and soaked up as much of my good looking baby nephew as i could, i got off my lazy arse and paid penang a visit on a decision made at the eleventh hour, i have few but great catch up and gossip sessions with friends, i soaked up a substantial amount of knowledge, experience and learnt of work responsibilities from my internship and lastly, i peggy chan, did the unbelievable. i baked .


    choc brownies, pre-bake. which i thought looked alot yummier than pre-bake.


    looking blah but tasted oh so yummylicious. oh i shall refrain from self praising but its a recipe from a friend and if i praise it means im giving her credits for it


    cupcakes...






    more cupcakes.



    ok. kau tim. selamat hari raya peeps =)

  • a slow crawl back

    having been absent from writing, i now fail at structuring a proper post as i seem to deviate further and further away from writing. days while by with many blog-worthy topics but these thoughts are lost in the midst of my scribblings in scraps of papers tucked here and there.

    hmmm, how should i begin?

    today i was cheated of cream from the one place i thought i can rely on to serve me real clotted creams for cream tea instead of the one too many disappointing places that claims to serve 'real' cream. wtf. my scones are never complete without clotted cream and strawberry preserve. lots of them =) no whipped cream, custard cream or the worst i have heard, liquid cream nonsense. clotted cream is the only way to it! dear cathedral 21, how ive missed you =(


    view from my former work desk. no idea how or who took this photo while playing with my phone!

    over the weeks, ive learnt alot about people and the complexities that comes along with them. from these people i learn to reflect them upon myself. be it good or bad. from encountering these people, ive learnt that not everyone is who you assume they are until you spent time with them. i do not enjoy spending time with some and i cannot get enough with some other. ive also learnt how a simple good morning call or text does wonders to change that early morning frown to a smile. how that catch up call means so much and makes you miss that person so much more or how just one simple line can plaster one of the widest smiles on your face. how such simple gestures can lift the mood or give someone a start to a better day. how replying a simple text or msn message can help you feel that that person cares (they may not but it does give the recipients some sense of importance). most importantly it shows that that person is constantly or at times thinking of you. i admit i am terrible when it comes to keeping in touch but am glad that a handful of my close friends, are unlike me. to those of you who are my friends and i have not been in touch with you, im sorry, i failed. i guess its a situation where i will be waiting for my friends to call me if they want to hang out while at the same time my friends are also awaiting me call to hang out. not only hanging out. simple tasks like keeping in touch. i guess it comes with me being the best anti-social i can be.  having that said, sometimes i wish i can be spontaneously chatty when it comes to speaking. be it to people face to face or on the phone. people of all ages and profession. wtf. yah, thats cos sometimes i have to speak to old people and i absolutely suck at it/ i get tense or professionals for fear of not having much said of things with substance.


    yummylicious hk milk tea anyone?

    note: photos are random and unrelated to post =)

  • scraps of scribblings

    i have to stop scribbling my heart mind out on scraps and scraps of random pieces of paper i can get my hands on. its got to stop before they land into places and hands that i dont want them to be. lifes a bitch for no xanga accessibility when you really need to. when you really have to. when you really want to.

    maybe its time to consider putting pen on paper instead of fingers on keyboard. where i can start scribbling my inner thoughts as i am feeling instead of putting them on hold to when i get xanga access and not feel like writing anymore.yes, life is such. and this, dear people, is my -at times cryptic- sanctuary.

    pegsy will be back shortly =)

  • what can be worst than having your food 'conveniently' taken?

    they took your last favourite flavour! grrrr. this is really getting on my nerves at times like this.

    seriously. people should adopt some courtesy when taking someone elses food. its not about the food or money really. ive had enough of people stealing my magnums last time i bought a box of 6 home and had one. 2 days later 4 went missing and i am only left with the last one. two.fucking.icecream.out.of.six. seriously. what annoys me is that everyone in the house knows what food is whose. and yet that bitch/bastard can still conveniently take without asking or informing. yes, i would gladly let you have my food if you have the courtesy to ask. or worst, tell me later that  you had my food. it doesnt even matter that you dont offer to replace it at all. i really dont care. but what i really hate is that you take my food not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times! go.and.fucking.buy.your.own.food if you intend to eat more than half of mine!

    so i thought... hmmm ok la whatever just let it be. the next time ill just keep my untouchable food out of sight. AND still someone convenienetly took it AGAIN. arghhhhh. what is wrong with these people?! take also dont take my favourite la! *sulks*

    so people living in house share. adopt some courtesy please. unless you have an unspoken rule of what is yours is mine, just ask. its not that hard. your housemates will most willingly (in most cases) let you have it, they wont hate you for it and you will not spoil their day.

    now will someone please fetch me chuck bass?

  • i hate stats

    i HATE statistics and econometrics with ALL MY HEART.

    and all i want to do now is scream and shout and hurt myself so bad because i refuse to let it get to me instead.

    i detest it so very much its come to the point where nothing i read or do is registering in my head anymore.

    and because of that, i am going to honestly properly look at it until tomorrow and dump it aside until after mandarin paper. im so sorry daddy. and mummy. ive tried. i dont want to come off sounding like ive given up.
    ive not. i am still trying. but i guess just not as much as i should or want to.
