Nohot Cup

Every time I order a hot beverage, I slowly sip it in anticipation that it will scald me.

So, when I read about Nohot Cup, I was mystified. Finally, an answer to hot liquids!

While it looks like a regular coffee cup, its lid is made from heat sensitive materials, so when the drink is too hot, there will be a lump on the lid that will hit your nose if you try to drink it. Once the drink has sufficiently cooled down, the lump will slowly disappear, allowing you to drink your warm beverage without any risk of tongue burns.

Time flies and I'm enjoying it

Time flies.

It's been a year since I've been attached, and since then, I have gotten a house (still building), shifted from Bukit Merah to Hougang, got promoted, witnessed half my department leave (not at all at the same time), booked a hotel ballroom for wedding banquet, and gotten a mama shop.

Well, not really gotten a mama shop, but running its operations daily. Which can be a bit tiring but fun. Sometimes I need to scramble for time to sleep. After cleaning the cat's litter and dog's poo, and feeding and watering them. And doing household chores like hanging up the clothes and all.

But all in all, I'm still surviving and I couldn't have done it alone.

You see, we aren't a normal couple. Normal couples would be defined as those working office hours on a Mon to Fri job. They would probably have breakfast and dinner every night, and a date or two during the weekends.

I work shifts. My fiance works projects. So she could chill for three days, and then chiong eight days a week. Along the way, we fit in time for each other around the busy schedules. Maybe breakfast together, or supper together. Sometimes, we get so tired we just fall asleep in each others' arms.

Despite all this, I am quite enjoying life. Granted, sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming, and my eyes get smaller than their minimum size. Sometimes, she gets insecure, and I feel taken for granted, but we overcome all these together, and stick with each other.

2013 was a rather rushed and life-changing year. 2014 doesn't have to be better or worse, but fulfilled and lived to satisfaction.
