What type of cake are you?

Was musing to a friend how I wished life was a piece of cake.

In return, I was asked if my life was a piece of cake, what would it be? Cheesecake, Black forest? And whether I would want to have my cake and eat it too?

Hmm...tough one.

Cheesecake: My life is pretty rich I must say as I experience and learn quite a bit of new things on a daily, if not, weekly basis with my kind of job. However, as time goes by, it can be pretty mundane n predictable.

Blackforest: I admit I have a split personality. Can't decide whether I'll like to be pleasing like the chocolate sponge cake, or smooth like the creamy bits or to be naughty, spicy & exotic like the cherries that gives the taste buds a different kick. Perhaps that is why my colleagues say that I'm an oxymoron....claiming that i'm sane when i'm actually half mad.

Tiramisu: I love alcohol and I need caffine (from tea though) to keep me going in the day...It also happens to be my favourite dessert (remembered someone telling me that it's not considered a cake) There's more than what meets the eye :) You have to know me well to find out how strong the rum is(Courtesy of AT).

Durian cake: Either you like me or you don't. I'm an acquired taste. (Courtesy of AT)

As for wanting to have my cake and eat it too, I must say I'm guilty of it sometimes. I thrive under pressure. Only when I'm overwhelmed with stuff will I be more motivated to complete my tasks on hand.

Besides, Comedian George Carlin once critiqued this idiom by saying, "When people say, 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too.' What good is a cake you can't eat? What should I eat, someone else's cake instead?"

What type of cake are you?

最熟悉的陌生人

事隔一个多月，昨天再次碰到他，心情还是不由自主地变得很沉重。
只是打了招呼，没和他交谈，但可感觉他对我有着强烈的厌恶。

可能当时我的所作所为真的令你很气愤，以致到了今天还是耿耿于怀。这里还是希望得到你的原谅。
真的不要求什么，只想挽回这段友情。

我很喜欢萧亚轩的《最熟悉的陌生人》，每回到KTV都必唱。昨天我真正体验了这首歌所传达的情感。

最熟悉的陌生人
萧亚轩

还记得吗
窗外那被月光染亮的海洋
你还记得吗
是爱让彼此把夜点亮
为何后来我们用沉默取代依赖
曾经朗朗星空
渐渐阴霾
心碎离开
转身回到最初荒凉里等待
为了寂寞
是否找个人填心中空白
我们变成了世上
最熟悉的陌生人
今后各自曲折
各自悲哀
只怪我们爱得那么汹涌
爱得那么深
于是梦醒了搁浅了沉默了挥手了
却回不了神
如果当初在交会时能忍住了
激动的灵魂
也许今夜我不会让自己在思念里
沉沦
心碎离开
转身回到最初荒凉里等待
为了寂寞
是否找个人填心中空白
我们变成了世上
最熟悉的陌生人
今后各自曲折
各自悲哀
只怪我们爱得那么汹涌
爱得那么深
于是梦醒了搁浅了沉默了挥手了
却回不了神
如果当初在交会时能忍住了
激动的灵魂
也许今夜我不会让自己在思念里
沉沦
我们变成了世上最熟悉的陌生人
今后各自曲折
各自悲哀?
只怪我们爱得那么汹涌
爱得那么深
于是梦醒了搁浅了沉默了挥手了
却回不了神
如果当初在交会时能忍住了...

Happiness is...

- Sipping hot chocolate / gingerbread latte on a rainy day, looking at the crowds shuffle by you.
Perfection would be sitting next to a fire place with some friends or just by myself reading a gd book...If only I was in London... Happiness is otherwise known here as that warm fuzzy feeling.

- Fettucine & Tiramisu @ Menotti's. Ever since I stepped foot in Menotti's 3 months ago, I constantly have cravings for their creamy Fettucine & the ever so delightful tiramisu. Simply yummilicious. Love sitting next to the window n people watch. This place also holds the best memory I have of 2006...... It was gd while it lasted.

- Chilling with friends @ Oosh or Altivo. 2 very different places but both give the feeling of tranquility. Situated in the heart of the city yet away from the hustle n bustle of urban life. Try hideouts like these if you feel like you need to catch your breath and leaving the country to a resort is not a viable option.

- Afternoon English Tea @ English Rose Cafe. Warm scones with butter, jam & cream and a pot of Earl Gray...brings back memories of London which are always memories of happy times for me. Hmm...come to think of it, I didn't have scones very often, scones were for breakfast while marmite n cheese on toast with Earl Gray were my staple afternoon tea after school. Idyllic Times.

- Shopping for the entire day. Retail therapy is the miracle cure to depression, stress n all forms of illness. Shopping and Relationships work the same way in my dictionary. Unique items and great buys appear when you aren't looking. Same for love. Love comes knocking when you least expect it. Happiness is when fate brings magic and pleasant surprises into one's life.

- Driving around aimlessly. I don't own a car yet but I hope to buy one soon. Driving gives me a sense of freedom and independence. Freedom I've been yearning for ever since returning from London. It gives me time of solitude for reflection and enables me to go to places further away to experience new things. Independence simply cuz I'm in control.
