MOnday bleu...

I was feeling so blue so blue yesterday...
I couldn't help but to eat and eat even though I am very full...
It is quite a scary feeling, not the feeling blue part...
But the eat and eat...

But honestly...I was so blue...I just want to go to sleep.

Yet another unproductive day.

I am sinful.

Awfully.

Hey Mr Sun!

Soobin is in a lovely mood today...

Soobin wants a pet dog...but her mum says NO...

Happy 5th Anniversary to KBoX!!!!

And YEah!!!...I went for their $5 all day promotion...from Sunday till Wednesday...stuffed myself with the $5 tibits until I am suffering from constipation...
This is retribution for being greedy. No kidding.
And look at these lovely Kbox 5th anniversary Choc...I dun eat choc...

In praise of slowness...

After the fall, I learn a lot of new things in life.

I finally understand why turtle live a long life.

They are slow...that's why.

What's the hurry actually.

Take it easy!

Organidling...

"If you find mundane chores more seductive in the face of important tasks, you could be an 'organidler'"

That is me.

And I am glad that I am actually being productive for not really doing anything...or maybe not...
I am organidling.

Ha.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall....

3 minutes to the next train...

I can run into the confectionery to get my lunch...
Hotdog with pork floss bun and Garlic with ham bun...

1 minutes to the the next train...
I scan my ezlink card...and head for the platform...

Heard the familair sound...
Train arriving...

I speed up my steps...and run upwards the escalator...
Lifted my right foot...missed the steps...
kicked onto the steps instead...
tripped...
And fall...
Hands down...hurt my left foot and right foot's toe...and hit my head...

But reach the top of the platform in time...

Stand up..and feel the pain...
Staggle onto the arrived train in time.

Sat down...and FEEL the pain coming...
The peel on my toes started to bleed...
wrap my toes franctically with tissue...

HAlf an hour of pain...

Reach Cityhall...

Got the station master to dress my wounds vaguely...with some cleaning and plaster...
Walk in pain to work...

Show off my wounds...and was in pain...
Went to see the company clinic, thanks to my boss who offer to pay under company bill...

Got a jab...in case the escalator is rusty..

Did not went home immediately...instead..went to collect stuff from CDL...as scheduled.

Reach home finally...and rest.

Still in pain now.


Just because I want to catch the train...which the next train is only 7 minutes later..

What is the hurry...?

The moral of the story...according to my mum...
DO NOT SPENT TOO MUCH TIME WATCHING TV AT NIGHT...
and wake up earlier...and get prepared earlier...and leave home in advance so that I do not need to be in a hurry all the time...

Point taken mum.

LAstly...I had to say I am lucky already...if slip instead...and roll down the steps...
I won't be blogging now.

Pleasure...

Had a nice cup of hot Tazo Chai Tea latte on Monday afternoon...
Had a pleasant surprise that it taste GREAT!

Did a research on what Tazo Chai Tea latte is...

Tazo...is a brand.
Chai is the word for tea in indian...is black tea with spices...
Latte...means with steamed milk.

Remember the nepalese tea I drank at Hungary made by my friend Andrea.
It was something like chai latte...milk tea with spices...

Love that kind of taste....
Peaceful and calming.

Love Spiced milk tea.
Love Chai.

Love this little pleasure of taste in life...

I am sinful

Dear buddha,

I am sinful.
I made a mistake today.
I forgot to go for my art teaching lesson today.
I FORGOT ABOUT IT. TOTALLY.

Until my student's mum called me...
and I said "SHIT! I TOTALLY FORGOT!"
I was too honest.

My reply was worse than not going for the lesson.

And so...I guess she must be angry.
I feel really bad.

Once again,
I am so sorry.
I AM SO VERY SORRY.
I REALLY AM.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

Ok, I lied.

I couldn't help but to do another posting.

It was that korean dad that I want to talk about.

Nowadays, actually only since last week...
he will just be right THERE.
THERE.
As in there in the living room where I teach.
He will be sitting quietly back facing me at the corner of the house...reading a book.
Rather intriguing.

Then, when I was about to leave...he will turn and we will exchange bows.

That was it.

Good night...yawnzzz....

One last entry for the day...

Though I was dead tired already...

4.47am.

One last photo to share for the day...

The view from the laundry area of my flat...

On a particular normal day...among the HDB...

A strangely beautiful sunset was there
right before me...

My dear Soobin...

This is a nice painting done by my student Soobin, during a good mood day few weeks ago...when she thought her parents has agree to let her adopt a doggie.

Browsing...

Was browsing through the photos I took many months ago...
Going through my life...like reading my little photo diary...

And saw the blue screen....

Yes...the legendary blue screen that scare the shit out of me...the hellish nightmare which I am too confuse to make up my mind if I actually I wanted to cry or simply too pissed.

It was all over now...yet...the sight of it still send the chill down my spine and make my heart stop that one beat.

Ladies and gentlemen...

May I present...THE BLUE SCREEN...


Serious....no kidding...

ZAKKA!

The term I learn just minutes ago sent me into a realm of endless fantasy and thoughts...

ZAKKA according to wikipedia...

Zakka (from the Japanese 'zak-ka'（雑貨）or 'many things') is a fashion and design phenomenon that has spread from Japan throughout Asia. The term refers to everything and anything that improves your home, life and outlook. It is often based on household items from the West that are regarded as kitsch in their countries of origin. But can also be japanese goods from mainly fifties, sixties and seventies. In Japan there are also so called asian zakka stores, that usually refers to southeast asia. The interest in Nordic design or Scandinavian design, both contemporary and past, is also part of this zakka movement. Zakka can also be contemporary handicraft.

Zakka has also been described as "the art of seeing the savvy in the ordinary and mundane". The zakka boom could be recognized as merely another in a series of consumer fads, but it also touches issues of self-expression and spirituality. Cute, corny and kitschy is not enough. To qualify as a zakka, a product must be attractive, sensitive, and laden with subtext.

So far...I am quite a fan of the Japanese and Taiwanese Zakka...and a lot of eurpoean zakka...which I discovered from books I read in kinokuniya...

All about HAND-MADE...with an ATTITUDE!
