A day at IKEA (and other stuff)

Ultra long post ahead. You’ve been warned.

Well that was a tiring day. But I finally have something decent to blog about!

I woke up, went for a 4 round walk around my neighborhood park to evade the noise of the iRobot every morning. Pretty good start to my day huh?

Except I ate too much for lunch. My mom made a bunch of delicious food which made my lunch calorie budget go ka-boom. I ate fried rice with Chinese sausage, vegetable with prawn and the killer dish, steamed egg & soy bean curd with minced meat. I ate like, half of the entire dish.

No I don’t feel bad.

We went to the IKEA outlet at Alexandra Road? I’m not good with directions anyway.. to purchase my sister’s “important needs” being a chair, table and bookshelf.

It’s been years since I went to IKEA. The furniture there looked amazing. Got me thinking about what my future house would look like (haha, as if I’ll become a successful employee and earn some decent money. I’m probably gonna slack off and end up being homeless). I didn’t actually purchase anything since I love to not spend money. Maybe I got a chair cushion… but that’s about it.

After a long walk and trying out loads of chairs and beds because I can, we stopped for a break at IKEA’s restaurant / food-centre / food stall / kopitiam. I’ve never had a meal there before and I have to say, the food was pretty good.

Food: 2 cups of coffee; Meatball, mashed potato with brown sauce & raspberry sauce; Salmon with butter sauce, mixed vegetables and some potato thing potato medallion; Chicken with broccoli and fries

Meatballs were delicious and fatty (in a good way) but the mashed potato wasn’t that great, didn’t taste buttery at all. Brown sauce was alright. I’m not a fan of having something sweet with something salty, so I disliked the raspberry sauce with the meatballs.. meatballs just overpowered the flavor in the raspberry.

The mixed vegetables were, meeh… The potato medallion (something I’ve never eaten before) tasted awful, it tasted like blended green peas and bread. The salmon was really dry but according to my parents, it’s “healthy” ;).

The broccoli was overcooked so it’s chewy instead of crunchy (there are days when I like them soft and there are days when I like them hard). Fries were soggy and the chicken was edible. I really don’t have much to say about this.

The cheesecake was amazing. It tasted like cream cheese cake and not those spongy types with a layer of biscuit at the bottom, mmm… I don’t have a close up image of it because my sister hogged the entire piece cake before I could even take a good shot the cake vanished.

Oh and if you’re wondering, the coffee tasted like coffee. Yes my taste buds can only taste generic food. Too bad!

After finishing the food we proceeded to the first floor. I saw some pretty lamps that would go great on my spacious space-less table. Didn’t buy it though, because I’m a money-less person.

We paid for our items and proceeded to collect them. Wow did that take long. And headed to the car park to park our stuff. Oh my god, there was no space our car was too small. My mom and sis ended up sitting with their legs crossed while I enjoyed to front seat because me, being a fat person, would never be able to sit crossed-leg at the back seat.

I’m sure you can make out where I’m at in that photo (probably).

Headed home and since my dad dropped off the heavy items at the drop off point we still need to carry the items up to our house, my mom came up with the best way to move the items. She tilted the boxes and made them “walk” to the lift, and it worked! Wow, I’ll use that method to move heavy things next time.

So that’s my day in a nutshell essay. That was tiring. Nobody reads this anyway.

What's so fun about being emotionally sad?

Seriously, what’s so fun about sad?

I’m on Twitter & Facebook (Woooow, who even uses it anymore) everyday and the amount of those sad tweets and posts like “I need someone in my life food to care for me” or “I feel shut out of this world hippo” really annoys me.

Being sad makes you so much less productive. It brings your overall self-esteem down. Is it that great? Being happy brings so much more positive effects to your body.

Is it that hard to be happy? I mean, I get sad too but I try to make those times a funny experience.

Just like that time I lost my report book. I was really fed up I just had to tweet something and rant it off. But I made some jokes about it too like I lost my book in the Bermuda triangle.

So please, just live life being happy. Learn to smile without worries, laugh your troubles away and make sarcastic jokes. (but you can't be too sarcastic, people don't like it. life lesson learnt.)

People and their interest in disgusting photos

One of the reasons why I left Facebook is because I hated everyone's posts there. I would refresh Facebook and get a load of bloody pictures with flesh or animals being abused and I’d be like.. um.. yuck.. Way to ruin my day by showing me some red bloody organs or something.

Okay, I know I’m being unreasonable. Sure, sometimes you have to use disgusting photos to share a message but don’t abuse it.

I was on Twitter just refreshing and waiting for something interesting and boo! A picture of someone’s leg apparently (probably photoshoped) ran over by a bus. His leg was in blood and the flesh was visible. Did I mention he was holding a phone? So the internetz thought it would be funny to caption the picture as “lol let me tweet about this" or that "trend" with the annoying girl saying "but first, let me take a selfie shitfie”. That’s just plain wrong.. I have my Twitter option to hide sensative media on and it didn’t do it’s job at all.

Back on topic, why the hell would anyone think a photo like that would be funny, and even retweet it to let the world look at it and laugh puke?

So I’m going to guess people like seeing human flesh, blood and other things disgusting? And they love using disgusting pictures to make a joke? I must be the strange one lingering in your world.

Weirdos.

I almost spelt photos as photoes. Probably thinking about potatoes.

How exercising is (not) fun

So since I’m freakishly fat after eating that swensens mega lamb burger and chips in the cinema while sipping on a sweet bottle of apple tea I thought I would exercise a little.

(That burger was edible btw. Heck, here’s a picture of my meal I forgot to post anywhere)

I thought I would make the effort to lose some weight by walking 40 43 minutes in the morning and another 40 50 (I’m slow) minutes in the afternoon with my friend. Adds up to 12 rounds around the park downstairs. So I made the effort, walked and burned about 600 calories. (I finally achieved something in life..)

So after walking I’m sure hell as tired and my feet is so full of blisters I thought I finally could regain balance in life and get back on track to weight loss.

NOPE.

That didn’t happen. The next day I woke up guess what? I have the exact same weight as yesterday morning. Well, that’s a miracle, how ironic. Well at least I had a great sleep. When you’re tired and you sleep it’s like, wow that feeling is so sensational. But anyway, back on topic. Damn, losing weight is hard man.. I might walk again toady but heh, I can’t put in the same energy as yesterday.
I totally lost my chain of thoughts so I’ll end it here.

I'm weird

Am I weird for keeping the Cornetto Ice Cream code lids on their ice cream.

Yeah I'm weird.

But Taylor is pretty so I'm not weird.
