random fact {no.6} + updates!

I was having marinated mussels some time ago and got annoyed by the amount of grit one particular mussel was having. After crunching into my fifth piece of grit, I decided to check if it was really grit or if I was biting into a broken piece of mussel shell (because then, I wouldn't feel so bad for digesting bits of calcium? Lol).

Turned out it was neither. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself looking at baby-sized pearls :) So I guess the random fact here is that I have eaten pearls? Haha!

I only bit into another two pearls after that...

I'm probably going to poop the rest out like Mr. Polar Bear here.

See random facts {no.1}, {no.2}, {no.3}, {no.4} and {no.5}! One more to go before I hand this tag to fifteen lovely bloggers! >:)

Also, me reckons it is time for some major updates! :

• i received a package from singapore last week from my bestie julynn from the juleth dimension! it has the cutest pouch which i plan to use for my blackwhiteberry, a cute keychain with the saying "its ok to be silly sometimes" (except that i'm silly almost every other time) with my name engraved on the back and of course, a postcard written with lots of love! <3
