Bukit Timah: Stress Never Sleeps

I have an urge to make strawberry jelly cheesecake (or marshmallow version) and chocolate chip cookies and semifreddo and redecorate my room (by way of drawing and painting) and designing clothes I would like to wear (because I can never find them in real life.. or afford the ones I do find) and making them (like......knitting or sewing because I can't find a good tailor) and all sorts of customising and crafty things. Ahhhhhh.

The Tao Kae Noi Want More snack in soft butter is not nice! On first inspection, it looks nothing like toast or the loaf-shaped slices illustrated on the packaging. Then, the pieces are inconsistently "toasted", ranging from completely white to rather brown (too brown).. And then, it tastes more like sugar buttered toast--more sugar than butter or toast--and is far from bite-sized--two bites for me, and terribly messy ones at that. Snack design MAJOR FAIL. The texture is not at all bread-like--it's far too crumbly--and not even crunchy like a normal snack. It's far too light, hardly any bite at all. Most unsatisfying \: don't be conned! This is exactly why I still am wary of trying new things. It's not that I can't afford to, but I'm so disgruntled when I try something and it turns out to be bad. Lesson learnt: only trust the Japanese.

In an extremely foul mood--Mother just called to tell me the E72 was free last week (she made it sound like it was my fault, when she wasn't even in town) and everyone is getting on my nerves--partly due to hormones and stress.
