True to what I read online, because I wasn't reading all that information from Wikipedia, I managed to get half a kilo worth of Valrhona Cocoa at half the price. Since I was there, I decided why not get some Bittersweet Valrohona Chocolate for baking as well, and then I got a little carried away because I started getting cupcake liners which I didn't need, 2 sticks of butter which I could have gotten at Cold Storage and Red Food Paste which I got because I thought since it was Wilton, why not. Total cost was almost $50. Like 60% of it came from the Valrhona... which I heard a shopper referred to as atas chocolate.
Once I got home I decided to bake some chocolate cookies which I did not manage to snap any pictures of because it's getting a bit out of hand, I mean the last picture I posted on Instagram was this....
I actually get annoyed when people say "Oh Instagram makes a normal photograph look like it's taken by a professional..." and they themselves probably aren't even Instagram users.
Pictures on Instagram are by no means professional looking, but it just annoys me that people brush of really good pictures on Instagram as "mediocre pictures made amazing by Instagram filters..." Are you fucking blind, have you seen like the amount of mediocre photos that remain mediocre even after filtering? Jeez, or maybe that's just photos appearing on my feed... that being said, I have seen some people on my feed who have taken really good pictures... but I'm very stingy with my likes. Probably one reason why most of my likes comes from random users instead of my actual followers who feel obligated to "like" it rather than actually liking it.
My Asus is starting to show some problems. It didn't want to switch on and it didn't show any response even after plugging my charger in, as in the charger icon didn't even light up, and so I did some research on Google and realise my motherboard might by dying soon.
I have no idea if it's dying soon because apparently dying motherboards don't show any signs of dying, it just dies without warning. I mean Google likes to make me think that that itch at my groin area means I have STD when it's what it really means is to have better hygiene because STD requires a lifestyle I'm lacking.
Well I decided to go down to Asus service center today to get it checked and my stupid laptop decided to work fine again. Asus Service Center is like really really deep in the industrial area of Singapore, it's not convenient to get there at all... even though my Mum had to drive me there. The guy could find any problem because my laptop decided not to have any problem suddenly. So annoying, wasted trip, I was hoping to at least get diagnosed as a safety measure but it will cost me $60 and the tech guy said my computer was working fine, smooth in fact for a laptop that's a year old. And to think my Mum and Sis always blamed me when a virus pops up in the family computer in the past, now my laptop is cleaner that my Mum's netbook.
I had been maligned all those years. Now I can't prove anything because they won't understand anything.... the injustice.
So my laptop is working fine now but I have decided not to plug in my mouse as a precautionary measure, give the laptop some breathing space, don't want to fill up all the USB ports. Probably doesn't affect anything but just in case.
I wish my laptop had feelings, then I will keep surfing Macbook websites and watch Macbook unboxing videos just to scare it. Better work well or I'm going to convert and Windows will blame you for converting a windows user to apple.
