Today was the first time I went to Giant and came back with a bill that was less than 20 bucks. =) Hehe...I didn't go to get anything in particular anyway, I just wanted a walk, and it was nice and windy outside. I decided to...treat myself to lovely ice cream. Well, it's nothing like the one in the pic, that's just to make your saliva run...
Mine comes in a 500ml tub. Not those RM 9.99 premium stuff either...I'll be broke. I wanted to get Vienietta, but they only had vanilla. I can't pick vanilla when there are other chocolate ones around. I can't resist chocolate. So, I got choc sundae. I imagined smooth creamy vanilla ice cream with lots and lots of sticky bitter chocolate.
When I opened the tub, yups...everything was there...the vanilla ice cream, and the chocolate topping...but there was so little of the chocolate and so much vanilla =( I had only 1 scoop in the afternoon (I wanted more of coz) because...I went to jalan-jalan cari nothing-in-particular after I got the ice cream, and it was half melted by the time I got back.
Disappointed I suppose...out of the whole tub, only the top had choc, and I could see that the sides of the tub had some smatterings of choc here and there. In the middle was pure vanilla...it's not like the usual choc chip ice cream which has streaks of choc in the middle. I had a feeling that I'd be eating only vanilla ice cream...
Just 10 minutes ago, 4 hours after my 'dinner' (turkey meat + bamboo shoot in tomato sauce + macaroni...delicious!) I just decided to open the tub and ate from it straight while reading this really nice book (I'll talk about it later). I started scooping a tunnel down one side (I don't know why, I've always taken ice cream this way). And the deeper I dug, the more chocolate I discovered! =) Right at the very base of the tub, there's a layer of at least .5cm of pure dark bitter choc. Waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh..................... satisfied! Happy =) Haha...not very difficult to make me happy huh?

THe moral of the story;
Don't think there's not enough chocolate in chocolate sundae before you dig to the very bottom of the tub!!! (open to your own interpretation)

Zè book zát I vâs reading...is called 'To Bend Without Breaking'. On stress and how to deal with it. I'm extremely lousy at that. I can tell myself repeatedly to 'Don't sweat the small stuff. It doesn't matter.' I suppose my brain needs to learn how to define 'small stuff' a little better.
Hm...I suddenly realised something...since I ditched Guides some time ago, there's no one thing where I felt as though I was truly doing something joyful and enjoyful with my life. And I lost a huge circle of my social life too because I shut out the very people I socialised with for the past 7 years before.
And I lost music as a way of expressing myself as well. No more banging the piano in the middle of the day. No more staying back after school just to play caklempong. No more skipping classes to perform gamelan. No more dancing Taerobics to extra fast tunes. No more trying to run away from playing the school song and patriotic songs every Monday during assembly. No more singing the 'latest' R&B tunes in the music room. No more comparing ABRSM exam songs after music classes. No more panicking when a sight reading piece is in front of me. It's been about 2 years. Now that I think back, the moments I enjoyed most was performing with my friends...don't care how out of tuned we sounded.
Well...things have changed. I have yet to change. I have yet to move on.
Fuh...ok...confessions of a Psych student. Next up, convictions of a Psych student.
I will change. I will try. No matter how hard it is. No matter how many times I have to fall into exasperation stages before I succeed. I want to change.
