Just made carrot cake! Best consistency in all the attempts that I made! No cork ups this time! On the whole I'd rate it 7.5 out of 10. A1!!! hehe~ Still lacking in a bit of skill to generate the desired aroma. Will work harder on that... But an indian guy actually looked up when I was frying!!! I think it's because of the fish sauce. The last time I made carrot cake at my bro's place, a few flies looked up... er no, flew in. Alright, now how to get thin???

Moving on from food, I was saying that a working life is so much different (and better for this one) than a student's life, cos there's no more class, which is associated with stress and life-deprivation. And to think I naively said that there's no more class. Life itself is a school of continual education. There's just so much to learn and one really can't stop, otherwise one would become obsolete really fast! So yeah, I found myself picking up "classes" all the way since I graduated. There're 4 in all. Not bad... probably 12 to 13 credits worth of classes. One of them is obviously programming and work. And the other is piano. That really has a lot to work on.

Well, the only difference is there's no exams or homework for life's classes, and therefore much less stress. So I guess I'm quite enjoying it. Perhaps these so-called classes would be better termed as goals.

My furniture's here!!! Hooray!!! My bed's here!!! Yayyyy!!!!!! I'm so happy!!! But haven't got a chance to lie on it for more than 5 min... haha~ much things to be done!

And while my furniture's here, my gas and electric bills also arrived!!! 45.37 bucks!!! Really had a shock there, cos the bill's only for the last half a month!!! Does that mean that one full month's of bills costs 90 bucks?!?!! When I, the only person in the house, was seldom at home in the first place, and only used electricity for at night?!!?!?! Alright, in disbelief, I looked through the accounts, and realized that 30 bucks come from the establishment of service, and my electricity usage is only 9 bucks, for half a month. Sounds pretty reasonable. I think gas and electric should cost around 30 bucks a month, and probably slightly more in winter... ok, a lot more. So I guess 40 bucks isn't that unreasonable after all... But nevertheless, I should use less electricity!!!

Bro just sent me a link to Uncle Brown podcast. Some of you might have already heard it. Quite amusing. Go check it out if you haven't! Non-singaporeans, consult me if you have questions. hahahha~

Gonna go try out the bed for a while!!! hehehe~

Inspiration Quotes
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
