10c noodles + dreams

I bought a tank a year ago at an Orange County mall (Brea Mall), it was from those little kiosk they had in the middle of shopping centres. They sold tees and tanks with graphics, and quirky jewellery. What caught my attention was that it was made "IN SUNNY LOS ANGELES", yes, not CHINA!! (read the story behind LOVE NAIL TREE).
The graphics were a bit different..and the fabric was just soft..and it was a pop-up kiosk! How could I resist!? I couldn't!
The one that caught my attention was a picture of a noodle cup with the text: "livin' on dreams and 10c noodles. more than soup: lifestyle." I showed me room mate. She laughed and said "that's so you, you have to get it". Great persuasive skills and so I did buy one. See, I had been so poor during my study abroad when I couldn't afford food or was too lazy to cook I'd just eat Cup Noodles - until to the point I had stomach aches. #poortcollegestudentproblems


 Today I read the paragraphs that is on the back of this tank.. at first I read the last line "so that's just me - just another guy living on dreams and ten-cent noodles"...and it had me thinking, "HEY! That's me!" minus the guy part. I then read all three of the paragraphs. Which you should now too..
What I've learnt?
I like to dream and dreaming is the start of what/where you want to end up.
Eating 10c noodles can help you reach your dream?
This is just a beautiful story I want to share for those who don't have this tank.
LOVE NAIL TREE take orders online.
To keep dreaming.

we survived

Congratulations for everyone who is reading this.. ya'll beat DOOMS DAY. Ok, cut the crap.
But hope everyone had an enlightening New Years
A friend asked what my New Year Resolutions were, I replied saying I don't believe in them - why should you have a new goal that you need to keep for a particular year?! That just sounds stupid.
What I have decided is to have a life-time resolution! (that sounds more lame..) It is to read errday everyday. At least one piece of news or current affair that interests me - a piece of article, blog post, insightful Instagram post? a controversial Facebook status. Anything that will get me ticking basically.
to be a great writer you have to read
