Ever since I came back from the trip, I completely lost interest to go out. Somehow I just feel restless and bored. Shopping is one of the last thing I want to do here in Singapore for the rest of this month. Like Andrea, I am just tired of everything other thing now. Forgive me for not being socially engaged, give me a break.
So what if you have your Boyfriend or Girlfriend to hang out with this holiday? No big deal at all! I have my Elmo. Look at me wearing my Elmo shirt, so cute right? Dear Elmo, thanks for accompanying me through the lonely nights, and the struggling days where I have to conquer each household chores. My friends are all out there, busy with work, busy with social lives. They don't call me to chit chat no more- If only you can talk.
So this is the first week after my maid had left us. I did a couple of household chores and learned new things. I mopped the floor yesterday afternoon, it was tiring and I feel sorry for my hands having to twist the mop dry from the soap water. After finishing, Mummy said that the water is still pretty clean. By right, the water in the pail should be dirty. Guess there's so much room for improvement huh?
Oh yea, all thanks to Brother Kason, I've started watching Gossip Girl. But most of the time, I find myself reading the Chinese subtitles at the bottom. I cannot really get what they are talking even though it is in English. This is because they talked to fast and the slang is just difficult for me. You see me struggling and frowning, trying to understand the show rather than laughing out loud.
And now, I have a horror story to share.
Are you ready? On your marks, set, GO!!
Are you ready? On your marks, set, GO!!
I felt hungry this afternoon and decided to make Instant Noodle for myself. I called Mum to tell her about it. She asked if I know how to cook and I told her I shall try. And then, I proceed to the kitchen. I took the pot from the cabinet and put water in the pot. As soon as the water boils, I placed the noodle into the pot. As easy as ABC right? Okie cool, after the noodle is cooked, I removed the noodles from the pot.
And when I was about to turn OFF the fire, TO MY HORROR, it just cannot be turned OFF! I tried so hard and the fire just won't OFF. I was turning the handle anti-clockwise. When I turn clockwise, the fire just get bigger and bigger. I used all my mighty strength, my fingers hurt and the stupid fire still cannot turn OFF.
I panicked and screamed for my little brother. I asked him to call Mum and she was in the mid of a massage session and she can't help me much. At this point, smoke keep coming out and there is a strong burned and gas smell.
Sweat came rolling down my whole masculine body and before I knew it, I was partially drenched. Next I call Ariel, my ex-tutor (my brother's current Tutor), she asked me to use a wet cloth and pull OFF the fire. But I refuse to, because the cloth will catch fire and it is very dangerous!
I continue on struggling in the kitchen, my heart pumping faster and faster as the pot gets hotter and hotter. Mum call again and asked me to try harder. This time, I tried turning the handle clockwise. The fire got bigger but as it reached to the end, the fire finally goes OFF. Phew!
Both me and my brother jumped up and hugged each other in tears of joy and relieved.
The whole process taken to turn OFF the fire is about 15 to 20 minutes. By the time I wanted to eat my noodles, it was dried up and all cuddled together. It was damm cold and awful to eat. I am so exhausted now, I think I am going to fall asleep while watching Gossip Girl. Good day ahead everybody!
