A bespectacled 25 year old nerdy girl with sensitive eyes so dry that she couldn't put on contacts properly.

Omg the last time I actually updated was in Jan. Time flew past like don't know what and its already end March. I think all of you all have given up reading my blog already. Anyway, nothing interesting on my blog either. Just the usual ramblings in my daily life.

I think its weird. Everytime I read my old entries, I always get the feeling that there aren't written by me. Certain languages and words just don't sound like what I think I should be sounding like.

I will be moving on to a new job next week. I hope it will be better, if not good.

Earl Grey is good. One after-dinner Earl Grey helps me to wind down for the night. But I don't like those with a bergamot taste that is too strong.

Chocolates are not meant just to be tasted. They are meant to be seen, felt, heard and smelled.
All your five senses should be used to enjoy the chocolate.

Seeing it - Observe its colour, texture and sheen.
Feeling it - Feel the surface of the chocolate. Silky, Granular, soft or brittle?
Hearing it - Hold the chocolate to your ear and break it. A sharp snap or a dull sound?
Smelling it - Breathe in the smell deeply. Mild, discreet or penetrating smell? Does the smell remind you more of milk, caramel, honey, cocoa or others?
Tasting it - Let the chocolate in your mouth melt slowly over your tongue. Sweetness but also sour and bitter flavours at the same time?

Haha. Try the above mentioned sensory pleasure of appreciating your chocolate.
