- My stomach seems to be rebelling against me recently
- My mum keeps a stash of pretty vintage Martel Cordon Bleu under the altar
- I am hooked on Anthony Bourdain
- I'm beginning to think that planning for the Vietnam trip is important
- I only have 41 days to Vietnam and yes I do need a debit card
- I feel slightly more intellectual after my daily dosage of Discovery Channel
- I just realised I forgot what to type here...
- Oh yeah, the hotline to dial for NDP tix: 1900-112-4342
- Stupid employment agency hasn't sent me my cheque
- My mum enjoys yawning with her mouth wide open.
For point number 1, I think it's simply bad karma. Chucking godknowshowmuch junk food and whatever food alike, it's rebelling against me. Let's just say I visit the loo a whole lot more recently alright. And it's pretty nasty.--->SOLUTION: Made a pact with my stomach to take in more fruits and vegetables from now on, see I'm already doing it. *apples can be so bland, how about a durian?
For point number 2, no my mum's not having problems with her two looney but nonetheless ADORABLE kids which ultimately turned her into an alcoholic (that only happens in Desperate Housewives). She has that gem of an alcohol simply for cooking purposes, so like steamed fish? A teaspoon into the gravy and it's mama mia~ But for it to be placed in the cabinet under the Guan Yin altar? Something's not right, cus' Guan Yin abstains from alcohol right? So it's like taboo.--->SOLUTION: I'm gonna tell my mum that THAT's the reason why she hasn't had much luck at 4D =D Now that's so gonna work. Will update on her reaction, so watch this space (...)
For point number 3, Anthony Bourdain's overthrown Jamie Oliver as my culinary idol. Actually that's kinda inaccurate cus' he doesn't actually cook stuff in his show, he sorta introduces special dishes in a sarcastically humorous and in-your-face way. He's got personality and prolly the best job in the world: getting paid lotsa money just to travel around the world EATING and simply being his sarcastic, chain-smoking, funny self. He's so freaking funny it's addictive, almost as intense as his addiction for his smokes.--->SOLUTION: Watch MORE of Anthony Bourdain until I've grown sick of it (which I really doubt I would for now)
For point number 4, after that orientation cum planning on Wed we seriously need to plan our itinery and hotel stuff. It's still pretty much skeletal but yeah we got some groundwork laid down! Exciting!--->SOLUTION: Surf the webby for more hotels around the area. Key here is affordability and comfort.
For point number 5, I really think I should get a debit card. Must consult Shirley on that on Monday. Just in case my cash runs out, which is very, very likely.--->SOLUTION: Consult Aunty Chong!
Point number 6, 7 and 8? Skipped.
For point number 9, they haven't sent me my cheque I wonder why? I was supposed to just mail the pink and blue parts and white portion's kept by UOB and the yellow's for me. Sotong me just chucked the entire thing into the envelope and sent it into the mail -_-" Yeah so much for Discovery!
For the final point 10, my mum has a new habit, yawning with her mouth wide open. I told her in jest that that's a hippo yawn and she said that was complimenting that she's cute indirectly cus' I loved hippos. I told her I meant that she looked like the not-so-nice kinda hippo, and she hippo-yawned again at me. +_+ Boy, we're a house of looneys, it's a madhouse here, but yeah it's kinda fun most of the time. Besides, we kinda gotten used to it already. 8)
I think I'm gonna miss my family when I'm away for 10 days in a foreign land. Oh god this shouldn't be an emo post. But yeah I'm gonna miss a whole lot of you special people out there besides my family, you know who you are. ;) Listen to the last song on my imeem playlist on this blog if you think you're one of the special people. Yup, it's a wrap! Till then!
