I think this September, i am gonna stop the 30 day challenge for a while and pay a tribute to YouTube.
Haha, yes, you read me right, folks. A whole month of youtube on my blog. Weee. I am on youtube every single day. I'm sure you all are to. Be it to watch music videos, or some funny clips or make fun of people's misery, we go to youtube.
Of course sadly sometimes it feels like i am living in Narnia since youtube banned certain videos to be shown in some regions of the world.
Either wayyyy.
I am probably gonna post video of the day, or a video from some channels that i am subscribed to. Maybe even go to my "Likes", "Favourites" and "Playlist" randomly and pick a video from there to post on my blog.
That way you guy can know what i do on youtube every single day. Haha

Day 30- Ways you believe you have grown over the past thirty days.
People say you learn new things about yourself everyday.
Be it how much you can tolerate annoying people, or how easily it is to ignore someone who's pissing you off.
This month for me, i guess is pretty challenging because it was the fasting month. And it's my first time working two shifts. So it's kinda hard to actually be with your family for break fast. I also have only 10 minutes to eat cause there was only one person to man the counter.
Also, i find out how patient i can get with people. Everybody knows i am the most impatient person in the whole world. IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Being the fasting month and all, i seriously had patrons testing every last ounce of patience i have. But, i just suck it up and toughen it out cause it's what i chose to do.
And, of course, i realize that it's so much easier to not care about a person. Especially if all they've ever done was hurt you and played mind games with you. I have completely stopped blaming myself for what this particular person is feeling and/or doing. Also i have stopped trying to make amends with this person cause i could not stand the childishness any longer.
Oh, and also, i like kids. LIKE. A lot. I want kids. Haha just kidding.
But basically these past 30 days haven't been THAT challenging, so there's not much to learn from everything. Haha take care!

Day 29- What you live for.
Well, i dunno, but i like to help people.
Be it strangers, or other people. My own family, of course. But i like to know that i'm the one they come to when they need help.
It's nothing about pride really, but when i help people, i actually feel a sense of accomplishment. Like my existence really mean something and i'm not just wasting space on Earth and air.
You know what i mean?

Day 28- A moment you remember being completely happy in and a description of why you believe you were. What is your definition of happiness?
I have a lot of happy moments. That's one thing about me, even when i have a problem, i would most definitely treasure every single moments i have with my friends, family and loved ones.
Let me see, i guess it has to be when i was on a holiday with my family to Disneyland. Yeah, it is indeed the happiest place on Earth.
My parents recently divorced during that time but it really made me forget slightly about the horrible incident. I really did just let go and be a kid, even though i was already 12.
I had so much fun just having no responsibilities, be reckless and just be a child. It's the most incredible feeling in the whole wide world.
That's why i always remind myself to think young. Have a sense of humour of a kid, everything is much funnier that way.
Happiness is just about accepting what you have and not worry so much about the things that don't concern you. Being around the people who cares about you and those who would be by your side despite the good or the bad.
Happiness is just being yourself and not care about what other people think about you. Be comfortable with yourself and everything will rest easy.
Just have fun, break the rules, live like a dare devil. But be safe, of course.

Day 27- Your definition of the meaning of life.
Life. I like my life, that's why whenever i hear people saying that life is boring, i am tempted to ask why.
Life is everywhere, in my opinion. It's in school, it's in the work place that you go to every single day. It's in books, it's in objects, in food, in people.
Your friends, your family and your loved ones, that is also part of the meaning of life.
I really do not understand how people can find life boring. It's not just about planned events, it's about the unplanned too.
The broken hearts, the tears, and everything single thing, that is the meaning of life. Your memories, your actions, the consequences.
They are all different depending on what you do, and it's one thing that is interesting, i feel. The lesson learnt, all the friends you have lost throughout the years, all the new ones you've gained.
That is life. So seriously people, why do some of you think that life is boring?
It's everywhere, and everything, so just enjoy it.

Day 26- Your definition of love.
Well once again, a backdated post. Why? Cause yesterday i had this topic on my screen the whole day. I honestly do not know what to write here.
But then again, the moment i read the title of this blog post, i thought about my dad.
You see, the thing about my dad is that he doesn't say that he cares about you, he's one of those few people that actually shows that he cares.
When i was younger, my father took care of me, solely because my mother worked night shifts. So it's not really a wonder that i'm more closer to my dad.
I used to have a really bad case of asthma when i was little and i am very sensitive to a lot of things. Even the smallest amount of cold drinks could trigger my asthma. I couldn't laugh a lot either cause it will cause me to wheeze.
You see, i always get attacks at the wee hours in the morning, where the air gets colder. When that happened, i couldn't sleep, i couldn't do anything. I couldn't sit, couldn't stand, couldn't even lie down cause i seriously felt like dying. My father would wake up every single time just to make me a hot cup of tea and rub ointment on my back and throat.
He would actually just stay up and help me get comfortable until i actually fall back to sleep.
He also used to pick my brother and i up from school every single day and he would bring us little treats. Like our favourite candy and a bottle of our favourite drinks.
Even though he doesn't say it, i know he cared about us, and genuinely loved us. So yeah, that's my definition of love.
Sacrifice, concern and trying to make the one you care about happy, that's what i see when i look at him.

Day 25- Something you would do if no one stopped you or if you knew you wouldn’t fail.
Haha this is so cool.
Attempt at a mass suicide. And keep all the open minded, smart and beautiful people.
Haha, i'm kidding. Sorry, i shouldn't joke about that. Things like this is really happy everywhere around the world and i am being insensitive, so i apologize.
Hm, what would i do if no one stopped me and if i knew i wouldn't fail?
I don't know, i want to think of something crazy but i can't at the moment. Probably try to build a time machine and go back in time just to marry James Dean. Haha
He's so hot. Was. Was. Sorry, but James Dean is the definition of hot. Tee hee.
I don't know, like, i can't think of anything at the moment, maybe when i do, i'd edit this post.
How about you guys though? Share! :)

Day 24- Something you did as a child that other people remember you for.
Okay, from what i remember from them telling me is that, i LOVE dancing. Well, they love to make me dance. Even when i was little, when i just learn how to stand, they would make me dance.
Now, the thing is, it's not the normal dance. They will sing this one random song and then make me shake my body.
I'm assuming it kinda looked like i had the fits cause i was a chubby baby. I don't know. It's cute, i guess.
Yeap! I wish they had video me doing that, but ah well!

Day 23- Most awkward first impression you feel you’ve ever given
Hm, this is hard.
I honestly have never had any awkward first impression. And if i do, then i don't remember.
Hm, i really don't remember. Mostly cause even when it's awkward, i become very thick skinned and do or say something stupid/funny/annoying just to break the silence.
You people out there, if you all have met me before, tell me if our first meeting or your first impression of me was awkward.
I don't know, i have never felt awkward before. I mean, in terms of first impressions.
I'll think about it, and get back to you all later if i can think of any. Ah well.
Oh, i dunno. Maybe when i met my friends in New Zealand when i went up there to visit some of them. When i was being introduced by a certain someone to everyone else, i just stood there smiling.
I didn't know if it's a custom to hug them or shake their hands. In Singapore, we usually shake hands during first meetings but they were all hugging each other, so i just stood there. Smiling, like a shy little girl. Haha
There are some too that i wanted to talk to but we didn't cause of some ridiculous reasons, so yeah, i just stood there. Smiling and giving a slight wave.
That's awkward right? Haha, i feel like it is. Is it? Oh well.

Day 21- Your favorite medium of art.
Okay, from what i learnt before, there's the Paint Media, Drawing Media, Sculpture Media and Less Traditional Media. I think these are all art terms but i am not too sure, i only take art for 2 years and even then, i failed miserably.
I seriously missed the art genes in the family. Everyone in my family can draw, paint, and other wonderful things, except me. Haha
Either way, i think i like print making. Most paint media, i supposed. Colouring. I love colouring. Haha i sound like a little kid, but that's what i love.
I love repeated patterns so i guess my most favourite medium of art would be print making.

Day 19- A passage from a book that has touched you
This is actually a hard one, cause honestly, i haven't read a book that have actually touched me or make me have strong emotions towards it.
I mean, you all know what type of books i read. Thriller, psychological suspense, detective books and even documentary.
I like books, i love to read, i have read a lot of books and i have tons of books in my cupboard that is overflowing at the moment. It is everywhere in my room, but i have never had a good paragraph that actually made an impression on me.
Honestly, i just think it's the type of book i've been reading. A lot of it are actually fiction, and all made up. Except the documentaries of course.
I'm still in search of it, so if you all have any book recommendations that you think i would like or just want me to venture into a different genre, please feel free.
In the mean time, how about sharing yours?

Day 18- A picture that makes you feel
A picture that makes me feel... what, exactly?
Just feel? A rush of emotions when i look at it? Bad emotion or good emotion? One that has lots of memories? Or just something that make my heart string twitch?
What?! WHAT ARE YOU ASKING FOR?!
I chose this picture cause i like sweet things and pretty things distract me. Teehee!

Day 17- What you want to be remembered for.
Actually, i don't care so much if the people i don't know don't remember me. I don't know, i have never wanted to be "famous" in a way. I've never sat down one day and went "I wonder if people i don't know are gonna remember me if i did something something", you know what i mean?
Hm, i don't know. I really want to go to Myanmar or Africa to go help them build a school, but since i can't, i dunno.
Errr, actually if people wanna remember me, i hope it'd be nice things. I don't mind the mischievous things i do, like playing a prank of my family members, or doing random things to strangers on the streets.
I guess i wanna be remembered for being gutsy. A risk taker. Doing things i want to do without worrying so much about what people are gonna say or think about me.
Yeah, that's how i try to live my life anyway. Afterall, we only have one life. Be a fun person, but also a good person.
Do whatever you want, you know, but don't deliberately hurt someone with your actions or your words. Yeah, i guess that's it. I wanna be remembered for always taking a chance even though there would be a possibility that i might fail badly.
What about you guys? Share something with me.

Monday, August 15, 2011
Day 15- A moment, phrase, or song that has changed your life the most
Well, i don't want to get too personal but it has to be the day i found out my parents were getting a divorced.
Yeah, i can't remember exactly what happened though cause it's really not something i want to remember or tell people about but it's a memory, you know.
Basically all i can say is that it was a tragedy. Well, for me anyway. My world literally crumbled. I was just there trying to make sense of what happened right in front of me.
There was a lot of shouting from my parent's side and a hell lotta crying from me. I was hurt and confused. I remember thinking how selfish they were saying all those mean things to each other. All the accusations and all the hurtful words. How can the two person i trust the most hurt me like this?
I was really really hurt though. It broke my heart so much that i didn't even wanna be around them, or just people in general.
That incident did change my life. Both in the positive and negative way. But that's another time for another story. When i feel like it. Or if you guys are lucky enough for me to consider trustworthy enough for me to tell you the story.
Till then, take care!

Day 13- A memory that never fails to make you laugh
Haha well, i have told this story so many times before. In my blog, and even in real life.
If you guys have followed my blog then you all know which memory i am talking about. Haha it is none other than me accidentally peeing at the playground, on a rocking horse, in the middle of the day.
Yes, people, but that is not all. All that bladder bursting laughter was all thanks to none other than my own cousin, Linsy.
Ahh, the memory is still fresh in my head even though it's been years and years ago. Probably because we keep talking about it, ALL the time.
So, the thing was we were both on a rocking horse each, opposite each other. I told her i had to pee so we decided to go home. Bear in mind my bladder was already really full, screaming to be emptied.
Linsy, being the silly person that she is, wanted to jump over the head of the horse. She was wearing a dress. Yes, people, a dress. Really long flowing type of dress. So she just jumped over the head of the rocking horse and then her dress got caught over the head.
I know this may not sound funny to you people reading this but it was extremely funny. I was laughing so hard and at the same time trying to hold in my pee. She was just there stuck. She couldn't even touch the ground with her hands, so it looks like she was just floating there and the horse kept on rocking while she tried to free herself.
It was a funny sight. I was laughing so hard i peed in my pants, right there and then. I wanted to run off back to the house but of course i had to help Linsy first. So i just freed her dress and with my pee-soaked pants, i ran all the way home.
Luckily it was only 2 minutes away. Haha
Oh my god, every time we tell the story, we will be going off in fits on laughter. Ahh, i love my childhood.

Day 10- A dream you had this past week described in detail
Oh oh oh. I have no idea how i remembered this dream, but i do remember it.
Maybe cause it's a very very weird dream. I'm sure i don't remember EVERYTHING though but i think the weirdness will still be there.
Well, to be fair, it actually started out really really nice and actually kinda sweet. Haha
Okay, so actually i was in the car with someone. I can't remember what we were actually looking at but there may or may not be kissing involved. Haha, anyways, i don't know what happened but suddenly there was a lot of explosions and there was this cow that became a target practice for some people.
Yeah, i can't remember a lot of it, but that's what i knew happened.
Just really weird, cause the character Aaron Hotchner from Criminal Minds was even in my dream, so hmm.
I don't know, i think it's telling me to go get my Criminal Minds seasons 4, 5 and 6. Haha but yeah, that's all i can remember really.
So weird.

Day 09- Five things you want to see change
Things i want to see change?
As in my life, my country or the world as a whole?
Well, i believe to change big things, you have to change small things first. If you wanna help change the world, the first person you need to help to change is yourself, and then people around you. So lets just focus on ME, haha as always.
Nah, i'm kidding. I mean, of course we all want to see change in this place we live in, you know. But to actually tell you guys what is wrong with Singapore and then just HOPE that she will change one day is nothing more than just me complaining.
We all know we want lesser foreigners here. Well, to be fair, i don't mind foreigners. Again, this is me talking about those who actually do some good in Singapore. Those who can speak English, have common courtesy and those who showers and have good hygiene. The others, well, we can do without them.
I think the thing that pisses a lot of Singaporean the most is the fact that we are now being treated like a second class citizens. Being cast aside by our own leaders and well, basically becoming second best. Not only that, but to be called arrogant and rude by these "barbaric" foreigners is really uncalled for.
Well, lets see. I love my life, you know. I like my family and my friends and my loved ones. They're great and awesome. I like my job now, it's so much better than the previous one. Thank God i am not with them anymore, i am actually MUCH happier working in this new environment.
What do i want to see change?
Basically, i want a new living environment. This could mean a new area, or a new country. Either way, i want to get away from this mundane little place. There's really not much to do here. I think we all have been to the same place at least twice.
Singapore's pretty small. You can get to the next end of the island in just less than 2 hours.
The third thing i want to see change is, well, the glass ceiling. You know how a certain post in a job can only go so far. I think it's unfair. I mean, if this one person is competent enough to go higher, they should be given the opportunity to prove themselves. Especially if they are willing to upgrade themselves with required skills. You know what i mean?
I'm sure you guys are not surprised that this practice is still going on at this day and age. I mean, it's so old fashioned right? Judging someone's competency by the sexual organs they are born with. Even in our pledge, "Regardless of race, language or religion". See how they say NOTHING about sexuality and/or gender. So sad.
What else?
Well, there are certain people in the family that i would love to see change. For the better, of course. This shall stay a family secret, so lets not go in depth.
Last but not least, i would like to see people get along.
Like, REALLY get along. No superior race and/or religion. No greed, no envy and no judging. I know it's an ideal world and it's so hard to achieve, but yeah. I really want to see everyone just get along for once.
Haha, yeah, it's just my hyper-optimism huh. Ah well, a girl can dream of a beautiful world, can't she?
What about you guys though? Would love to hear your side of plans.
As in my life, my country or the world as a whole?
Well, i believe to change big things, you have to change small things first. If you wanna help change the world, the first person you need to help to change is yourself, and then people around you. So lets just focus on ME, haha as always.
Nah, i'm kidding. I mean, of course we all want to see change in this place we live in, you know. But to actually tell you guys what is wrong with Singapore and then just HOPE that she will change one day is nothing more than just me complaining.
We all know we want lesser foreigners here. Well, to be fair, i don't mind foreigners. Again, this is me talking about those who actually do some good in Singapore. Those who can speak English, have common courtesy and those who showers and have good hygiene. The others, well, we can do without them.
I think the thing that pisses a lot of Singaporean the most is the fact that we are now being treated like a second class citizens. Being cast aside by our own leaders and well, basically becoming second best. Not only that, but to be called arrogant and rude by these "barbaric" foreigners is really uncalled for.

Day 08- Someone you think would make a good president
I just realized i forgot to blog last night. I got really sleepy and then i think i fell asleep at 10pm. Which is crazy cause i must be REALLY tired if i fell asleep that early, especially since the next day is a public holiday.
So yeah, i missed yesterday question. Either way, here it is.
I find it really appropriate that this is the question cause Singapore is actually having a Presidential election soon. We'll know the candidates pretty soon, so i'm pretty excited.
Now, who do i think would make a good president?
Well, i was really sad that George Yeo didn't think about being a President. I honestly think he would make a good President.
Of course there are other candidates that are running for the Presidential Election that have the fullest potential to run Singapore, but this is just my opinion.
I feel like he's really well liked by people. He build great rapport with citizens and even people from other countries. He has a military career and he was a really competent Minister during his time in the Parliament.
He has in the Cabinet from 1990 up to 2011 when he lost his seat in the General Election 2011.
I feel like we need someone who is a great people person, who would understand what the citizen needs instead of caring so much about other countries.
Like i said, this is just my opinion, so we'll see who's gonna be the candidates for the 2011 Presidential Election. I really can't wait.
Oh, and Happy 46th Birthday, Singapore!

Day 07- Favorite cover of your favorite song
Hell yeah! If you don't know who sings this song originally, you guys ought to kill yourself.
Okay, wait, i don't mean that. I think even non-metal bands will know whose song this is. BUT for those who don't.
Here you go.

Day 06- Earliest thing you can remember
Wow, are you serious?
Wow. Haha that was the first thing i said when i read the challenge topic.
Like, seriously, i have a lot of childhood memories suddenly rushing in my head but i am not sure which one is the oldest memory. Haha
Well, there's the pissing at the playground incident, but i'm sure there are more earlier memories.
Oh! There's also a snow white incident. Here's the thing, i had this really nice Snow White doll, and it can speak and sing and everything. So Linsy and I were playing our dolls and our younger brothers were basically arguing in the room right beside us. I was so annoyed that i shouted at them to keep quiet. Guess what happened next? Haha Linsy's brother took my Snow White and slam it on my brother's head. So yes, my Snow White's head was just there dangling by the wires of the voice box.
Haha, i know it's not funny reading about it, but my cousins and I will crack up big time every time we reminisce.
I don't know, i really don't remember my earliest memories but yeah, that's one of the memories that i don't mind sharing.
What about YOUR earliest memory? Share with me!

Day 05- A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life
Actually, everyone around me has changed my life one way or another.
Be it the way i see things, or how i feel about thing, or even how i think. Everyone around me has played a part in shaping the way i am.
Well anyway, i am not here to thank those people who have always believed in me, even though i do really appreciate what they have sacrificed for me. I am here to actually thank those who think i wouldn't even make it to where i am today.
I remember when i was younger, some people don't like my family. I won't point fingers but there are family members who looked down on me just because i was from a broken family. They think i wouldn't make it in life. They didn't even think i would survive life in general.
Well, i guess one thing they didn't know about me is that, i do not like people to insult my family. When someone says that my parents didn't do a good job raising me or my brother, i like proving them wrong.
Wow, boy were they wrong about my brother and I. We are obviously more "successful" than their sons/daughter. I'm not bragging or anything, but at least i can get my legs closed long enough to not have a baby at such a young age.
Or the fact that my brother and I worked so hard academically. We have better education than them, believe it or not.
So thank you. Thank you for telling me i can't do anything. Thank you for telling me that my parents are good for nothing. Thank you for everything you haven't done for us.
Believe me, even if i have to go through what i went through one more time, i wouldn't change a thing. *smiles*

Day 04- What you imagine paradise to be like
Can i be selfish or do i have to think about other people in this?
I mean, of course the real paradise would be a world with no war, and no racism and all the jazz, but i mean, lets be real. Things would probably be boring then, and then someone would do something to start with all the chaos that is happening now.
So, i've always think about other people in my answer, let me be selfish for once. Thank you.
Well, lets talk material things.
I want a 3 stories house by the beach. Not just BY the beach, like really on the beach. Haha when i step out of my door, i want to feel the sand in between my toes, on my feet. I want to hear the ocean waves every single minute of the day, and feel the sea breeze caressing my skin and blowing my hair.
Wouldn't it be nice?
The peaceful sound of the ocean, the blue skies and the splashing of the waves against the shore.
I don't know, i love the beach. I grew up going to the beach every weekend, every holidays. I get called a "beach bum" when i was in school. I get tan lines and sun kissed skin all the time. When it looks like my skin is back to normal, we go to the beach again.
You know what else would be nice?
Sitting by the deck, looking out at the ocean, while the sun sets. Oh, wouldn't it be great.
Haha, i am actually smiling as i'm typing this cause i would actually love that. Who wouldn't, right?
It'd be awesome especially if you have someone with you by the deck, drinking hot Nutella chocolate drink and having a slice of banana cake.
Haha, okay, i'm sorry. I think too big sometimes.
But hey, having the sound of little feet going pitter patter by the deck is fine with me too. *winks*
Haha, k bye!

Day 03- The five songs you would have with you on a desert island and why
This is assuming that i haven't die by the second hour being in the deserted island.
No, not because i'm weak. I have been somewhere without a toilet before, so i'm pretty sure i can survive a desert island. Haha, i hope.
It's just... the thought of having only five song while being stuck on a desert island, is like the end of the world. I would seriously die. I mean, if i'm stuck there for only a day, i'd be fine. What if it's one year? I get bored listening to the same old song ALL the time.
Well, since the challenge has been set, i will try to do my best. So here goes.
Why? Well, this song is my favourite song to dance to. Haha, yes, don't ask. Never mind. Hahaha
Four words. Five. Finger. Death. Punch. :))
My femininity needs to be indulged once in a while. ;)
No reasons. Just because. Hehe
It's just one of those song you can't get rid of from in your head.

Recipe of the day: Sausage cheese roll
This recipe is super simple. You can actually just add some things to make it your own recipe. I like experimenting with herbs and different types of butter with this, so yeah.
This is my go to recipe for last minute outings or family picnics. Well, usually they request me to do this recipe, so it became one of my "signature" dishes. Hehe.
So lets start, it's really really simple.
Things you need:
Wholemeal bread (or puff pastry)
Hot dogs/sausages (the normal kind, not specially flavoured)
Slices of cheese. (you can use any type, but i prefer cheddar single slices)
Garlic butter (you can choose any type, or even skip it altogether)
Dried herbs (optional. personally, i like using Oregano) Egg (only applies if you use bread instead of puff pastry)
So, firstly just spread a little garlic butter on the bread (optional). Then put one slice of cheese on the bread and one hot dog/sausage. Just start rolling it, really, and then just put it aside before dunking them in the egg mixed with the dried herb (optional). Shallow fry it till golden brown. You don't want to deep fry it cause it's really really disgusting. Haha, that's just my opinion.
I suggest you use a non stick pan though, cause the cheese WILL ooze out of the roll and then it would stick to your pan. It happened to me the first time i tried this, that's how i know.
For people who wanna use the puff pastry, it's basically the same thing, but instead of frying it, you just bake it in the oven according to the instructions. You just wanna make the puff pastry rise and the cheese melt, so yeah.
See, i told you it's simple. So i hope you guys try it and tell me how it is!
Have fun and have a great day!

Day 02- Something that inspires you
I have to say being successful.
Now, with that said, we all know that everyone view as being successful differently. There is obviously no right or wrong opinion as to what being successful really is.
To some, it's to have lots of money. To others, it could be having to hold a lot of responsibility, also known as power.
For me, it's pretty simple.
I don't strive to be the one person with the most branded bags, or to have everyone fear me. To me, being successful, is to have my loved ones be proud of me. Someone they can depend on.
Being successful is to see the people i care about happy with the things i have done and achieved. It is really just that for me.
Yeah, that's why i always try to do my best in everything i do, i never do things half-assed.
What about you guys? What inspires you?

Day 01- Guilty pleasure
Guilty pleasure.
Hmm, well, it's really a toss up between MTV and Nutella.
MTV, why?
Simple! Haha it's filled with ridiculous shows. Some shows doesn't make sense and the music they play now.. WOW, bad! Haha
The thing is, it's something that i don't want my friends to know. Cause i would make fun of them for watching some of the shows there. Haha weird thing is, i watch it too, only when i'm bored and there's absolutely nothing interesting to watch on tele.
I don't watch tele that much anymore, and the short amount of time, i would feel embarrassed if i somehow ended up watching MTV. No joke.
I usually watch it to make fun of the people in the shows or like i said, i'm bored. Haha i usually avoid that channel. It's not the same as before though, but ah well, it helps with my boredom sometimes.
And of course, everyone knows i'm a hugeee fan of Nutella. I cannot live without it. I would somehow incorporate Nutella into my drinks or desserts or meals.
Yeah, not Nutella with rice though, that would taste weird. Oh would it? Hmm, i might have to try that some day. Haha
I know too much Nutella is not good for me, but oh my god, it's so good. Like, i can eat Nutella every single day and not get tired of it. It's so good, it's so delicious.
I am drooling at the moment writing and thinking about Nutella. It's so good.
Haha, you guys get it. But yeah, that's mostly it.
How about you guys? What is YOUR guilty pleasure?
