The Manic Pixie Dream Girl



Carefree, quirky and beautiful. MPDG. The dream girl of everyone. My impossible quest to be one was doomed during the first step. First, i can never pull off a pair of blue eyes. You know, my face is 100% asian. Quirky? Me? More like complicated and weird. Carefree? Yeah. I married. (Gasp!) Have a kid (Gasp!!) (No offence but i do love my family.) So no carefree, fun, easy, no strings attached MPDG. It's more like bottles, diapers and sleepless nights.
Oh Zooey, I should have known you earlier. But how long can it last, right? Once the wrinkle started to sprung out on your face, you'll be more like Manic Unpixie Horror Old Lady.
But a girl can still dream. Giggle.




Want some pizza? Nyom nyom

Rise and shine







I remember the first time i was learning to make a pizza dough, i was seventeen and i was young. It was a lot of work. Kneading kneading punch punch. I was thinking that maybe it would be easier if i just BUY it from Pizza Hut. But nothing beats a homemade pizza. Nothing.
