But, I decided that maybe I should pick up writing again after all. Takes my mind off the thoughts which I had pretty much suppressed and kinda just, refresh my system every once in a while for new thought processes to flow?
Things started to get pretty trying after the last week of December last year. Sinusitis wasn't exactly the type of New Year gift I'm expecting, but it was stuffed to me unceremoniously right on New Year's Eve. Totally not cool? Especially when my nose is stuffed halfway up to heaven and this infernal condition takes about a month or two to clear.
Although, it strikes pretty much at regular intervals of one or two years, pretty much depending on my luck actually.
Which was why I wasn't really surprised when my friend saw me last week and went, "Is it just me or you have lost abit of weight?"
I deliberately ate less solid foods and took more of liquids to reduce the chances of me getting choked on my own phlegm and saliva because the constant back drip of sinusitis is not exactly pretty in my honest opinion.
Also, in the light of recent events, it had made me take serious considerations on certain matters which had been in the back of my mind. They had put me through quite an exhausting bout of contemplation once, but once I came to terms with them, they were quite a-ok actually.
And because I came to terms with them, black and white is no longer a dominating factor, not even grey to be exact. To me, the term "absolute" is only synonymous to being stubborn for no apparent reason other than being stubborn.
But, to be flexible is one thing, to face attitude which was totally uncalled for is another. "Hate" is too strong a word and highly inaccurate in my case. It's more like an irritation which comes up like an instinct.
An irritation which strongly reminded me that maybe I might have waited far too long to give someone a piece of my mind.
Putting it aside for now on cold turkey since staring at it isn't going to yield miracles or any viable results, being someone as practical and a straight arrow as I am.
Recently, I saw an article on Daniel Food Diary on a new cake establishment at the spanking new Our Tampines Hub. To be honest, I got to know of Our Tampines Hub via the many Facebook tags on my friends' list but had not been there myself. So this is a first and my first impression? It's one hell of a sprawling and colossal complex.
As far as I could see, it was split into two wings on the inside, which could be pretty confusing to a first timer. It took me a fair bit of time before I managed to locate what I was looking for.
Though the wing which Out of The Cake Box was in was not exactly fully opened up yet, it was fairly easy to locate and hard to miss because of its warm and spacious counter, lined with rows upon rows of delectable cakes and pastries.
A die-hard matcha and yuzu fan, I just had to try their Matcha Yuzu Cheesecake ($6.50 per slice). The matcha is smooth with just the right touch of bitterness, where it is harmoniously off set by the fluffy cheesecake layer studded generously with yuzu peels and a crunchy biscuit layer for that extra bit of texture. It's exactly what I would call a wonderful experience which had worked its way marvellously into my heart and sweet tooth!
I'll definitely be going back for their Rose Lychee and Earl Grey Shortcake! Till then, praying that my sinusitis recovers sooner so that I could go back to working on my rifle commish. Hubs had forbade me to work on it for fear that the contact with sealants will only set to worsen my condition.
