mascots, materialism and macarons

this blog has lost perspective. calvin doesn't jump off his swing anymore. i need a new mascot and spongebob doesn't cut it. i could try amelie, but she's nothing in black and white. what am i left with then, to fill the empty space below my idiosyncrasies?

apparently my horoscope said that since sept 2007 until early november, the stars have enjoyed messing around with my life. apparently for my good. unfortunately, i do feel this is true. if only they had the courtesy to tell me about these little drama scenes in advance, i wouldn't have gotten fussed over so many things in the first place. but for starters, i am thankful that the black septembers are over, and proudly, with the help of many many important people and my self, i have survived.

this also means it is time to adopt a new mascot, calvin was and will always be a special eccentric to me, but we need to move on.

here are a few suggestions:

1. phua chu kang - knowing how much i despise his mole

2. little miss sunshine - i could always use some cheering up

3. my blender -preferably in its immacculate form, it's lime green by the way

4. my lomo diana F+ - the poor things never been developed properly

5. an iphone - so that i can relish the things i don't have

6. mcdonalds logo - to remind me to stay away from that FAT and the coupons

7. ice cream - a long term relationship that hasn't managed to melt away

8. things in general - to remind me of my futile, utterly materialistic existence

9. a macaron - because you know how much i love this french stuff

10. coco chanel - not herself, but the tatou version, just because she used to be amelie

i would add rowing to the list, but i need to test the waters in terms of endurance. my best bets on the macaron, because ideally, that's my slice of life!

and so it is...

just like I said it would be, words come easy on me, most of the time... about food

The Junkbox has finally opened for thought... exclusively, working to swell up that apetite.

enjoy!

I am...

I am the air you choose to breathe,
When the cold wind comes this way.
I am the bitter smelling reed
That slithers where you lay.
I am the crystalline blackness,
That overtakes the day,
Shattering all your sadness,
Come out! Come out and play!

This was written by me, in a more sombre mood.

Anyway, I am going to revive one of my many blogs to talk about food. Food (and tea) has been my lifeline through hard times and has become an obsession that I would very much like to share. Please visit The Junkbox for the yummiest, sweetest and most sinful treats that make up life. Look out for the special section on tea that will be coming up soon.

till the tummy tingles for tasty treats,
au revoir,
amelie

what i did when i wasn't in thailand

Mood:indescribable
Song:love you lately
Newest infatuation:not shopping
Secretly craving:a tai tai life
Wish i were...on holiday!

Having dinner now. yes now. i finally got down to eating. i usually love to eat, but im more of a snack person... and exotic cuisine person. i love thai food. i love arabian food and i love mexican food. so yea maybe im missing one of those... oh yea i know it! im missing THAI food. (sarcastic face)

yea i cant believe it. im missing thailand although i havent been there in 3 years. i think its just the craving for a fun holiday. instead of gng to thailand i had to sacrifice some blood for a blood test that has been pending for while. the little jab they gave me has turned bluish... and if it does scar it will always serve as a reminder of the trip i never went on.

so to replace the exotique thailand, i went shopping... and got a headache. i thnk vivocity is overated and overcrowded. For all that it boasts, its just another mall. have u been to marina square lately? its way less claustorphobic and ard the same size. yea yea you mite say the shops are different and more posh. but tell me, other than the candy empire is there any shop there that is unique to vivo? I thnk not. for now maybe its GAP but then in a few months the ecstacy of gng to a gap shop will no longer be there cos there will be one at orchard road...so darlings vivo isnt the answer to all your questions with the exception of "wat do u think caused the headache?"

Ok so the place was a little crapper than i expected but the outing on the whole was amazingly fun :) especially ben and jerry. as the babbling banshee (please refer to her website linked) puts it, they are the best boyfriends ever. :P

talking about ice cream... you HAVE to check out the Daily Scoop. I saw their ad on the papers and its a one of a kind place. The lime and black pepper is as spicy and sour as i am... peanut butter is sooo creamy and the chocolate is heavenly. if your a durian person then ull love the durian ice cream. so basically their ice cream rocks and its made fresh at the store.

but if you're in need of a boyfriend, please contact ben and jerry.
