Little Things 231 : Do you bleed?

I went to the office's toilet at the end of the corridor this morning. The fourth floor of our building.  There are big windows at the end of the corridor, opened. I smelled the freshly cut grasses and sunshine. I asked myself, is it? Is it really the smell of the freshly cut grasses? Is it possible to smell it far up high? Does the grass bleeds and that is the smell of their blood...

Little Things 230 : Sweet Things

I'm old ! I no longer enjoy sweet and sugary things.  Instant coffees and hot drinks in cafes/mamaks make me feel really uncomfortable in the mouth - I rather have unsweetened green tea, mildly sweet coffees or plain water. I used to like desserts and sweets very much. Daww, I'm old. Well, my brother is taking orders for home-made carrot cakes - and chosen cakes by request.  You...

And our own personal moss-free wardrobe.  Moving out has always been a fussy matter. One of the things that I hate...

Little Thing 226 : 30th Birthday

Tuesday : Birthday leave, because no one should work on their birthday ! I turned 30. I survived 30 years of human's life ♥  I always have the feeling that I'll die a bit early and maybe I won't even reach this age, but I did somehow, with God's will T^T This feels like I reach the third check-point in my life.  Life is still like this, I am still working, still writing,...
