ten things

yes i'm actually home early on a saturday and it feels so good to whip up a simple dinner of super creamy scrambled eggs topped with a generous sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan cheese , a whole french loaf ( toasted to crisp perfection ) drizzled with extra virgin olive oil , smoked salmon ( with olive oil too ! ) , Heinz creamy pumpkin soup and a glass of organic soy milk.
that's alot isn't it ? somehow home-cooked food always whets up an appetite for me. i sometimes struggle to finish one measly portion whenever i'm dining outside when i can clear off three portions in a single setting at my grandma's.
i feel that with age , you learn to appreciate the smallest of blessings bestowed upon you. it wasn't until recently that i begin to enjoying lounging about lazily at home , with a good book in hand , and body sinking deeper and deeper into the well-worn two-seater.
anyway yes i've been rather up to my neck and i'm actually really happy to be busy, to be able to coax myself into a deep slumber once my head touches the pillow instead of relying on my usual pre-sleep cough syrup or antihistamine fix.
for the past few weeks some rather stupid shit has happened to me and i'll compile them in a list right now.
1) a week or so ago i missed the Express bus to town and i decided to wait for the next one even though it was a good 20 minutes wait because i had something to read. as you know Express buses have a schedule to keep and if the bus schedule says 9.15am, then 9.15am it is. unfortunately i was too engrossed in my papers to keep track of time and when i looked my watch it was already 9.15am exactly and i looked up to anticipate the bus only to see it drive past me. KNN !!!! for once tardiness is good.
2) i opened a can of fruit cocktail last night and absent mindedly i poured away the syrup because i had been just too used to opening cans of button mushrooms whose brine has to be discarded.
3) when my phone rang a few days ago i assumed it was Xin because i had missed called her earlier and she always calls me from her workplace . i hollered "yo bitch!" upon picking up the phone only to be answered by a pregnant pause followed by a perturbed female voice. "hello is this fiona ? this is mrs fong your lecturer here...."
4) okay this is going to sound really gross. somehow the side of my pantyliner "flipped" over and i got a paper-cut like nick down there. every step i took was like a torture because i was wearing really fitting shorts and every single movement the fabric rubbed against it like sawpaper. yeeeowch.
5) i was halfway through a mother of all yawns when i turned to look out for traffic.... only to meet eyes with a really cute guy. damn my distorted face.
6) looking like an idiot running with my life to catch a bus i spied coming from a distance, only to miss it after humilating myself running while trying to hold my tube top up in front of a bus stop filled with colourful SMU students. AHHHHHHHHHHH !
7) wasting ten minutes looking for my favourite bra only to realise i was already wearing it. yes it is so comfortable that i actually forgot , thats why its my fav !!
8) whenever i bring put my umbrella, the weather is always perfect to a fault. whenever i don't , storm clouds will suddenly gather. ha. murphy's law at its best.
9) almost shitting my pants when i lighted a ciggarette which resulted in a momentary mini explosion because my collegeue had planted the head of an unlit matchstick at the tip of the cigg. BLOODY HELL NOT FUNNY LOR!!
10) emptying the contents of an entire salt-shaker into said collegeue's iced tea as revenge, only to forget and to take a sip from her drink later.
and now i shall take a well deserved nap. laters.
p/s : and yes it is really this blog's 2nd anniversary... it ain't an april fool's joke ! =D =D wish me happy anniversary leh.
