Broccoli XD

A little snippet of my hectic day in which I found amusing~

***

Comes home from latest job interview feeling tired.

Flops down onto bed and sleeps.

Dreams.

Suddenly in the middle of my dream...

*Heavy drums, electric guitar... IKENAI TAIYOU~*

Snaps awake from dream, registering the thought that my phone is ringing...

Looks at phone, unregistered number, wonders: Who's this?

Me: *groggy* "Hello?"

Anoy: "Hello? Is this Ms. Tan Wan Yong?"

Me: "Yes, it is..."

Anoy: "Hello? Hello? Ms. Tan Wan Yong???"

Me: *wondering who's calling... can it be another interview call or something?* "Yes, speaking."

Anoy: "Hello Ms. Tan. I'm calling from XXX college and I'd like to invite you to attend a talk on XXX and XXX tomorrow at our campus. Would you be interested to come tomorrow?"

Me: "Tomorrow? I can't actually, I'm kinda busy."

Anoy: "Oh okay, would you be interested if I continued to update you about XXX subjects the college is offering?"

Me: *thinking: You're in for some bad news lady XD* "Uh... not really. Actually I've already finished my course."

Anoy: *shocked voice* "Huh? Finished your course? As in completed all the papers and finished your exams?"

Me: "Yes, yes..."

Anoy: *disappointed voice* "Oh... okay then, thank you very much Ms. Tan."

Me: "No problem."

Puts down phone wondering what time it is.

Looks at clock.

What the heck!? 6.50p.m.!? Oh nuuuuuuuuu I overslept!!!

Tries to put on glasses in a hurry and still feeling groggy.

Sticks end of glasses into left eye.

Ouch... That's not the right way to put it on... >.<

Washes face and runs downstairs to cook.

Yells for brother to come down to help.

At about 7.20 p.m.

Brother and I stand in front of the table.

Staring at a dish of broccoli, wondering how to season it.

*Pours soy sauce*

Me: *holds bottle of oyster sauce* Eh... put how much ar?

Bro: *looks at me with the I-dunno-face* "... I don't know?"

Me: "Aren't you the master chef?"

Bro: "No... since when?"

Me: "Okay...."

Shakes bottle.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

Four times.

Me: "There.. enough kua?"

Bro: *Stares at broccoli like its infested* "I think so..."

Me: "Try and see?"

Bro: *gives me the are-you-serious-you-want-me-to-try-face?* "..."

Bro picks up spoon.

Slowly spoons up a broccoli (rather unwillingly)

Puts one broccoli into his mouth.

Chews.

Me: "So...? How is it?"

Bro: "Uhhh....... it's weird..... Sweet but salty at the same time... Err...I've never tasted anything like this leh... Hahahahah!"

Me: "Heh? I think its screwed... How?"

Bro: "Uhh... Put more sugar? Wait... that's not right... Hahahahah!"

Me: "..."

Broccoli dish - Total failure today.

I blame it on my lack of recent cooking.

Memorabilia

Things that remind you of the people you love…
How long can we actually keep them?
How long can they actually last?

SMS-es, letters, cards…

Daddy’s sarong, Mum’s precious hand mirror;
Birthday gifts from friends, souvenirs from their travels;

That first soft toy from your first love;
That necklace your boyfriend put on your neck…

Your engagement ring, your wedding presents…

Your son’s first blanket, his first pair of shoes;
Your daughter’s first drawing that you put up on the fridge…

Your wife’s facial products that take up more than half the dressing table space;
Your husband’s raggy T-shirt, the one which you hate so much but yet can’t bear to get rid of because it reminds you so much of him when he’s not around…

***
As for the people we love…
How much of them do we retain by keeping things like these when they’re already gone?
How much can they actually help us remember them by?

And what will happen to these things when we ourselves have gone as well?
Will they be given away? Donated? Thrown out as trash?

Sometimes I wonder…
What are the things people remember me by?
Sachets of green tea? My butterfly earrings? All those Christmas gifts I’ve given out?

And when I’m gone, will people still remember me at the sight of those items?
Or would they just pass on in life without a second glance, just like how I do sometimes?

Wazzap?

Haven't been updating for awhile...

For those who've seen me recently, you probably know what's been going on with the sad modem of mine. Anyway, I hope this is the last time I would even have to bring it back to the shop again. Isn't there a rule on how much warranty can cover? Hahah...

Life's been a lot of going out, spending money, and spending more money recently. Oh, and not to forget, meeting up with friends unseen for a long time more often than usual. But hey, I'm not complaining about the latter. :D

Need to keep my mind busy and off a lot of things I don't want to be thinking about. 

Darn, I need to stop eating. XD

Study!!!

1 down and 1 to go!

Why did I choose Finance???
>.<
