Julie&Julia

i bought the book when i first arrived in edinburgh last december. actually i've started reading a bit of it during the holiday but didn't get hook enough to finish it. and i've totally forgotten about it until today.

as i put the book down, i couldn't stop the feeling hungry part.

just by reading those words being written, i was already salivating over the food being described. now i'm so looking forward to our coming trip to billingsgate for our chinese new year steamboat dinner. i might as well grab some lobster for the next kitchen experiment *wink*

apart from the massive cooking adventures, the book made me understand that having the confidence or will to go through all the shits are not the only essentials in the life-survival-kit. you need to have passion in whatever you are doing. if you put your heart into it, and let the joy grow out of it, anything is possible. because you want it to work out, rather than you have to make it work out. the pressure is different, i think.

and how wonderful life is to have that special someone as you support system. someone that accepts you in both times; when you are at your best and at your worst. mr.bofwen always questioned how my mood swings when i'm with him but never does that when i'm with friends. truth is, i can't be myself and show my emotion to everyone. they don't deserve to put up with it. but he does! he better be! *evil laugh* if he sees it in a positive way, he should call himself lucky because it's only him (and my parents+siblings) that i can comfortably show my true colour.

because hellooooo, nobody has a perfect life where it's smooth sailing all the time.

and when the rough waves come to challenge you, i realised that no matter how positive or optimistic you are, your motivation level will eventually be empty after certain period of time. that's when you need to recharge them- get a little bit of booster from the loved ones that has always been by your side.

julie is definitely lucky to have eric; the most penyabar guy i've ever read.

and i think i've found mine too *blushed*
