Nissin's New Way of Eating

The 'New' Way of Eating Cup Noodles

And Nissin claimed that it's the 'new' way of eating Cup Noodle: adding ice into their cup noodles. They even got themselves an artist to advertise for them.

But what Nissin didn't know is: I have been eating their cup noodles this way whenever I'm in a hurry since I was a kid. After all, I ain't too good when it comes to gulping down hot noodles and hot soup like a whale.

Nonetheless, I love their cup noodles.

What a Night

Dear God,

I admit that I sometimes will feel lonely in my room, but please, don't send me anything other than human friends, especially lizards and other creatures which I am terrified of.

Dear Diary,

In the middle of the night (as in an hour ago), I saw a black lizard on the floor in my room wtf.

wtf

It went under my wardrobe. I was so scared. No one's here to help me. I first sprayed the lizard repellent stuff around the wardrobe, then sprayed insect repellent at the side of the wardrobe which I didn't want it to come out from. I got ready (no I am never ready for lizards) and it came out. I stepped on a lizard (of course not with my bare foot), stepped on it with my slippers on.

I wasn't sure whether it's dead (I hope it's dead) and it took me many minutes and every single bit of my courage to take up the slipper and have a look. Oh my goodness wtf I saw its body it was eww and blek. Not sure if it's dead.

Panicked. Headache. Tears. Dizziness.

Took me many more minutes while on the phone crying and shaking and finally there's a suggestion to get rid of the hopefully-dead lizard body out of my room. Got the rubbish bin outside my room, covered the slipper and the body, pushed it outside (took me so long and took away so much of my courage and tears), with many challenges and the body of the lizard got stuck between the floor tiles while I was pushing it out.

Sorry I screamed in the middle of the night. Hope I didn't wake up any of my housemates. And sorry I left that rubbish bin in the living room, I really couldn't push it out further to the outside of the unit. At each and every single moment, I felt my brain lack oxygen. And maybe that's the reason why I'm having a serious headache now.

What a night. In the morning I'll wake up with puffy eyes and a body which lacks sleep. Good night, world.

《請照顧我女兒》－'Please Take Care of My Daughter'

Since a long time ago, I haven't had much time reading books other than textbooks (which is not a good thing). 

I love buying books, but 9 out of 10 times, I don't really open and read the books bought after bringing them home safely. Last Friday is the day I finally had time to sit down and read a book which I just got from the bookstore. 

The name of this book is《請照顧我女兒》- which means 'Please Take Care of My Daughter'. It's a book (or a list of letters) written by a Japanese mother （特列寧 • 晃子）, who discovered that she only had a few years of life left during her pregnancy because she had cancer. The first half of the book is about the letters she wrote to her daughter （柚莉亞）because she knew she couldn't be there to see her daughter growing up, and she couldn't be there to teach and guide her.

《請照顧我女兒》

 《請照顧我女兒：媽媽好想活下去，因為媽媽想陪妳長大⋯⋯》

I'm not sure if the book has an English version, but if you can read Chinese, this book is highly-recommended (although I don't really fancy the second half of the book that much).

I don't (can't) usually indulge myself too much into a book and I have never shed tears while reading any book, and this book, is the very first book which triggers my emotions. I have a rather slow reading speed and I usually can't finish reading a book in less than one week, but yesterday, I only spent a few hours and I finished the whole book (big achievement).

"媽媽好想活下去，因為媽媽想陪妳長大⋯⋯" Mummy wants to live, because mummy wants to grow up with you / see you growing up...

Got this book from Popular, and the price is RM42.90. But if you have the Popular Card, you can get a 20% discount for the book.

So touched.

Happy Mother's Day.

I love you, mum.

我對美男子的憧憬（過去式）by 王迪詩

Read something Daisy wrote and I'd like to share with you something she wrote:

「那時候流傳一句話：DGS出才女，Maryknoll出美女，St Mary’s出修女。」 (There's a saying: DGS produces talents, Maryknoll produces beauties, St Mary's produces nuns.).

「只要稍為有腦的女人都會明白溝通比一切都重要，必須找一個智力水平足以和自己匹敵的男人，一個背景和價值觀都跟自己相近的男人。」(It doesn't take much for a woman to understand that, communication is more important than anything. A woman needs to find a man whose level of intelligence can be matched with hers, a man whose background and values are similar to hers.)


The whole thing by Daisy is here:

我對美男子的憧憬（過去式）

中學時代，校際游泳比賽是一年一度的盛事。我說「盛事」並非因為萬眾期待比賽的結果，那時根本不用去等賽果揭曉已能料到grand slam將又是DGS girls的囊中物了。我們期待去看的是DBS和喇沙的男生。是的，女生是會「看」男生的，只是看的方式一般比較含蓄，說得直接一點就是「偷看」，而且一邊偷看一邊裝成「我對男生的模樣才不感興趣」的姿態。

那時雖然是在游泳比賽，但老實說並沒有因為能看到穿泳褲的男生而特別感到興奮。聽說女人越老越愛看男人的肌肉，看著一些上了年紀的婦女對「六舊腹肌」的迷戀，似乎這說法沒錯。要是在校際游泳賽不看「六舊腹肌」，那看的到底又是什麼？靚仔或不靚仔，that’s all。姊妹們，承認吧！我們都曾經膚淺過。

我們看男生，男生當然也看女生。那時候流傳一句話：DGS出才女，Maryknoll出美女，St Mary’s出修女。事先聲明，這句說話不是我創作的，而是從男校那兒傳過來的。對於哪家學校出產的美女較多，學界曾經有過一番激烈的辯論，大家都堅持自己的母校才是美女輩出，Maryknoll出過梁詠琪、李嘉欣等女星，DGS呢？唐英年太太。

十幾歲的時候，女同學們聚起來便會聊起希望自己將來的丈夫是個怎樣的人。靚仔、六呎高、跑步的姿態一定要優美、眼神還要帶點兒憂鬱……今天回想起來那當然都是廢話，而且那時候說了老半天還沒提及半句個性內涵。二十五歲以後，我們一班女同學再度聊起擇偶條件，well，當然不能太樣衰，只是「靚仔」早已不是清單裡的頭等大事，我對美男子的憧憬已遺棄在校際游泳比賽的看台上，已經成為過去式了。為什麼女孩漸漸長大，會降低對男朋友外型的要求？因為只要稍為有腦的女人都會明白溝通比一切都重要，必須找一個智力水平足以和自己匹敵的男人，一個背景和價值觀都跟自己相近的男人。要找這樣的男人已像大海撈針，還要求他長得英俊，好明顯是不切實際。

男人呢？二十歲的時候喜歡美女，六十歲時也喜歡美女。可見女人會隨著年齡增長而進步，男人卻從來沒有成長過。對大部分男人來說，能否溝通並不重要，女人最好頭腦簡單，聽教聽話，所以不少有成就的男人去餐廳吃飯，吃呀吃就娶了給他倒茶的女侍應。

Yeah I know，一定有人問我，Daisy，你經常大聲疾呼提倡以貌取人，怎可能不愛俊男？那你可誤會了，我當然喜歡俊男，但假如有兩個男人站在我面前，一個醜，一個蠢，有人用槍指著我的頭強迫我必須嫁一個，那我寧願嫁個醜男也不要嫁個笨蛋。如果有人用槍指嚇強迫我嫁給蠢才，我會慷慨激昂地喊一句：「開槍吧！」

女人無法接受一個比自己蠢的男人。也許你會說，聰明絕頂的黃蓉不是嫁了笨笨的郭靖嗎？那你未免太不了解郭大俠了，也許他並不機靈，但他擁有的卻是胸襟與智慧，級數比黃蓉的小聰明高很多。黃蓉沒有揀錯，嫁給郭靖是她這輩子最精明的決定，然而世上又有多少個郭靖？這個千年難得一遇的好男人，心地善良、錫老婆而且武功高強！女人經過歲月洗禮，對男人的要求不會精益求精，只會實事求是，這就叫做「成熟」。

Hokkaido Corn Chocolate with Honeydew Melon

Finally decided to release this pack of awesome chocolate into... my stomach :D

Hokkaido Corn Chocolate (with a taste of Honeydew Melon)

You can already smell it before opening the package...

One of the best snacks on earth

Trust me, this snack is worth a try- even if you don't like the corn ice cream in Malaysia. The corn flavour here and the one in Japan are totally... different! :D

Time For Snacks

If these snacks would never blow my body up like a balloon, I would eat them every hour :) But you know, you can always go to the gym and burn the body fat away :D

Calbee Jagabee Fries

With a taste of salt

Real potato (delicious)

With love from Hong Kong

It looks like this :)

The chips in the cup look really like the French fries in McDonald's, and you can even see the potato skin on it :)

Crunchy and with an appropriate level of salty taste, this makes a wonderful teatime snack (or anytime you want).

I love eating.
