Stupid Saturday

I don't know what was wrong with me. Maybe I was tired. Or the kitchen was a bit dark. Or I was tired and the kitchen was dark and I was too lazy to switch on the light so I could not see properly. Or maybe I just forgot to use my brain.

I wanted to make berry pudding today. It was really simple. The kind that you just have to add water and egg, mix well and throw it into the oven. I did exactly that. Confidently. I did not occur to me that the mixture seemed to be more diluted than my blood. Or it did not look the same as what was shown in the pakaging. No. I did not think anything was wrong.

The packaging said that the pudding should cook in 30 to 35 minutes or when top is brown. 45 minutes later, after numerous checks the top is still bright red and the whole thing looked watery. I thought that maybe the temperature was too low so I increased it and took a nap. Maybe I was sleepy.

Less than 10 minutes after I dozed off, I suddenly woke up coughing. I decided to check the oven again. There was still no difference. I finally got some sense to check the box. I realised my mistake. Instead of putting 40ml of water, I put in 400ml of water.

I started whining aloud to myself. I took the thing out of the oven and was about to throw it away when my mum came into the kitchen and stopped me. She took a spoon and tasted a bit of that thing and exclaimed, "Mmmm.... Sedap!". I just stared at her. I told her that I'm willing to throw it away. She told me to put it in the fridge because whe wants to eat it later. My sis and mum did ate it just now and they said that it tasted good. I refused to taste it.

I was totally disappointed. I bought it from Perth and it can't be found in Singapore. I was so excited to eat it. It was so disappointing.

Now I have a tray of supposedly sweet thing that looks like mashed up cow's liver sitting miserably in the fridge.I'm going out tomorrow. I won't be surprised if the thing is gone when I come back. I think it'll look sweeter in the incinerator.

Weddings

So the last of my wedding marathon finally ended today. The next one will be in August so that will be around one month's break. Today's wedding was really nice. I could see the couple and family put a lot of effort in it. They even have a shuttle service to transport their guests. Good planning. Unfortunately there was a carnival nearby and those who drove had a hard time finding a carpart lot. I myself had to resort to a $3 parking some distance away.

So I went to the wedding with my sister and my friends told us to join them. There was only two empty seats left, one beside my friend's husband and the other beside this person, let's call him CVMN. We put our stuff down and took our food and when we came back and my sister sat down CVMN quietly left his seat and joined another table after a while. I could see that he was feeling really awkward and none of us were talking to him. Later my sis actually said that she thinks that the reason he moved away was because he was shocked that she sat beside him. Pregnant women are so sensitive. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I should have brought bedah instead.

Tomorrow is the first day of me being a full fledged teacher. I'm a co-form teacher and my mailbox is full of intructions on how to deal with the current flu problem. I just wanna complain that I have not received my timetable yet. I don't know what to expect tomorrow.

I'm running out of things to write. I got my donuts today. Mommy made it. Homemade donuts. Beats those sold in shops hand down.

Back In Action

Hi!

Sorry that I've been resticting my blog. Not that I don't want people to read it but the main reason is that I was so tired of writing things there are sad, depressing, angry and all the other negative feelings. Makes me feel like my life is so horrible when it is not. Well not too bad.

Anyway, updates. Hmm... Just came back from Perth. I'm healthy as a horse but it seems like my mum is sick. Let's just see how things go. By the way the trip was well, a bit slow. If you have two 50-year-olds with you on a holiday, that's something you should expect. I drove in a foreign country for the first time. It's not too bad. The drivers are more polite. More polite than the Singaporeans. Shopping? Could have done more if my parents were not controlling me. I'm still whining about it. The place is great. Bought tonnes of chocolates and cookies and one big cheesecake. Heeh! The cheesecake was cheap lah!! Will upload the pics on FB soon, when I have the time.

School is starting soon. I have to admit, a part of me is feeling so excited. Another part of me is feeling so lazy to wake up at 5.30am every morning and reaching home 13 hours later.

Secrets and more secrets. I seem to have tonnes of them. Some I tell people whom I can trust and some I keep to myself. The ones that I keep to myself are driving me nuts. Haiz....

I should do something about something or I'll regret about it, again. It happened before because I was lying to everyone so it looks like it can happen again. But how? My skin is too thick leh... And I'm so sure she will make fun of me. :(

Wow, I really do have a lot of nice things to write about. This is a long entry. Oh yes, one last thing. https://twitter.com/overload2111
Nothing exciting but if you are as bored as me you can just take a look.

Pet Peeves

Someone was saying, "Sorry ar, my malay is not that good." And I was thinking, "Well, your english is not that good either so whadda hell are you good at?" C'mon....

"Thanks you very much!"
"This is very goods."
"I really likes that."
I could really make one super long list cos there are so many other examples I can share. My ears feel like burning whenever I hear people talk that way. Why must they add the unnecessary "S"? Ands Is realises thats its onlys saids bys thes majoritys races. Dos yous feels likes punchings yours screens whens yous ares readings thiss?

Another group of people and this time it has nothing to do with language. They go to the gym and sat down at the machines and just stare into space. Woman, if you want to sit and relax, there are a lot of benches outside. And the benched are always empty. Why? Because these annoying people chose to sit at the machines. I will come and walk around for a while. After a few minutes, ok maybe seconds, I will give my stare. Oh how my menacing stare still works even after all these years. They will be out of the gym in a jiffy. Haha!

I was walking just now when this big ass woman pushed me. Ok, I have a big ass too but at least I don't push people around with it. Best part was that instead of saying sorry, she gave out an irritated sound. Oh, most times I would have just let them go away but not just now. I was hungry and wet from the rain. I increased my speed, walked beside her and pushed her "accidentally". Then I let out the same irritated sound that she gave.

Oh how beautiful life is....

Honesty: The quality of being truthful and not likely to lie.

Lie: To say or write something that is not true in order to deceive someone.

To be honest, I despise liars. Wait, maybe I should rephrase that. It has been said that everybody lies. I have difficulties trusting people hence, if someone I thought I could trust lies then it will be quite disappointing because I will have one less person to trust.

I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse but sometimes I will able to figure out things without much clues or none at all. It will be really obvious to me and I will know that I'm right. And then something will happen to prove that I was right. It doesn't have to be right away but it will happen eventually.

It's always about the same subject. If you didn't want to, you could have just be honest about it. I probably would be angry but the feeling won't be as bad as how I'm feeling now. It will be better for us. You don't have to waste your time twisting your words.

I don't know. Emotionally, I'm going through a difficult period right now and you are not helping. I've seen you being in this status before and unlike most people you will discard all your sensiblities and become really selfish and self centred. I never understood why.

There is nothing else to say except that I hope the two of you will be very happy together. And I hope that it will last this time.

Random

Question: Do pigs fly?
Answer: Yes! Swine flu can travel through air!

This is so random. Came up with it while I was working out in the gym. No connection whatsoever. Random. Random. And it is also a bit outdated since the name has been changed to Influenza A H1N1. Now that's a mouthful. I really like to just stick with swine flu. 2 syllables.

Some Things Are Just Meant To Be.... I Think....

He was supposed to get the operation later in May. Thank god we appealed to get it sooner. The operation took place last Saturday. On Sunday, the swine flu was on the front pages of the newspapers. On Monday, TTSH started to put up the facilities to be ready for a pandemic. That was the day that he was discharged too. By Wednesday, the hospital has put up restrictions on visitors. Gosh! Can you imagine if the operation had occured later? He would be so bored and lonely, with a tv that doesn't work, even after our complaints. It's a good thing it happened on a weekend. A lot of our relatives came over to keep us company.

I had already planned to go for a short trip to Perth on Vesak Day. I was about to book the tickets when well, the flu strike. Now a lot of people are advising us to push back our plans. There are confirmed cases there already so we decided to heed to people's advice. I really feel that I need a break. A nice holiday. I'm so disappointed. But after thinking about it, I guess well, maybe I'm supposed to save my money. I haven't been saving that well this year because of my lifestyle: gym, spa, shopping and costly meals.

I gave my first demerit point yesterday. The girl did not look sorry at all. I was more disappointed than angry so I did not scold her. She's a good girl, just that she made a stupid mistake of using her handphone in my class when she was supposed to be doing groupwork. Hid behind her table. I told her how disappointed I was with her and how it breaks my heart to give her a demerit. Today, she wrote me a letter telling me how sorry she was and how she deserved the demerit. Awwww.... Made me feel guilty.
