For Your Enjoyment

I'm her hardcore fan. It will be difficult to convince me that there's another female asian artiste who sings better than her. Thumbs up for Coco!

NO Excuse!

I don't understand why guys can give lame excuses, it's so lame that I consider them nonsense! Are guys really so truthful that they can't think of better explanations or are they simply can't be bothered to come up with better ones??

Some times I dunno is it good or bad that men can't give good excuses. It's good in the sense that it will give them away when they are obviously lying through their teeth cause sad for them, accurate intuitions are god's greatest gift to women. Bad in a way that lame excuses will drive women nuts, leaving them even angrier than before hearing the 'nonsense'.

They say women are hard to please, I do agree. But in the first place, if a guy hasn't done anything wrong, why is there a need to please the woman? If men explained themselves in a sensible and logical manner, women will not have the opportunity to make a mountain out of a mole hole.

A word of reminder to men - women are very good in looking for loopholes.
A word of advice - women would prefer to hear the truth even if the truth hurts, a lie will just lead to more lies.

Tale of Tiramisu

Every time when you are enjoying your piece of delectable cake, have you ever pondered upon the origin of the cake? Have you wondered if there’s a story behind it? What caters to its taste? Why is it sweet or bitter, plain or fanciful, spongy or firm?

We often buy cakes for birthday celebrations and we usually choose a pretty one, but what happens if beneath that pretty cake hides a tragic story? Do we still consider it as a birthday cake? Wedding cakes exist for obvious reason and mooncakes has its legendary origin. What about your favourite? Just like how you make an effort to understand your friends to draw the distance closer, I believe a cake is worth more of an appreciation when you know more about it.

I'm a tiramisu lover. I source around for the best tiramisu and it will be divine if I could taste an authentic one in Italy itself. Thus, I have a thought of researching for the origin of Tiramisu and here’s what I found:

"It was believed that Tiramisu was first created during the First World War. Women in northern Italy made these desserts for the men to take with them as they were being sent off to war. Apparently to remind them of their love together; as the bitter-sweet taste of the dessert alludes to the perplexing feeling of love itself. In practical aspect, they believed the high caffeine and energy content of these desserts will give their men more energy to fight and help bring them home safely.

Yet another story dates back even further. During the Renaissance periods, Venetian women made these to be shared with their men during the late hours because they believed it would give them the energy to make more vigorous love later.”


Whichever story is true, it tells that Tiramisu defines a strong relationship between women & men. Whether it ties the love or sexuality, Tiramisu portrays romance.

In case you are wondering, “Tiramisu” means “pick me up” in Italian.

Buffy The Rabbit Slayer

I baby sit my sis frenz's dog today. It has been almost 3 years since I last looked after a dog, this makes me want to keep another dog real soon. I want a Siberian Husky. But I'm not rich. I can't afford the best living quality for huskies, I can't afford to on the aircon 24/7 for them, I can't afford their enormous appetite, I can't afford their grooming.

Ok, back to Buffy. Buffy's my sis frenz's Jack Russel (whatever the spelling is). Tell you, Jack Russels are really active! They jump and run, run and jump, can't sit still for a minute! Buffy's already 9 years old, but she's still jumping and running! She's a springster! Let me intro, here's Buffy:
This naughty girl nearly drove me nuts. She urinated everywhere including the pleasure of doing it on my floor mat even though we placed newspapers for her. She knocked over my salt lamp and she overturned her bowl of water. I was busy running after her and cleaning up her mess for the whole day!

I think all dogs are greedy creatures. They eat everything and I mean everything including non-edible stuffs. My beloved dog used to eat tissues and pampers, Serene's dog loves tissues too and another exquisite cuisine - cockroaches. I heard dogs that eat lizards and their own poo poo & pee pee. Okie, whatever. The last time my sis baby sit Buffy, she ate up (or rather, swallow) my sis breakfast which consist of a plate of fried eggs and a can of opened luncheon meat on the dining table. Buffy did all these skillfully without moving the plates and cutleries. My sis was only away for merely 3 minutes.

If this isn't amazing, Buffy did more amazing thing. Her owner told us she ate a rabbit. A whole live rabbit. This small innocent looking jack russel ate a rabbit alive! Leaving only one thigh behind without any trace of blood. Please don't be deceived by looks. The grossiest thing my dog did was eating up a raw pig's liver. Well, I guess dogs are 'beasts' afterall. They eat anything to survive. They need vaccination to keep them tame.

Anyhow, Buffy's adorable. But I don't think I'll keep a jack russel, they are too active for me. I prefer autistic dogs. Cool, Macho, Strong, Calm. Like how I want my man to be.
