COOKING DISASTER!!!!!!

SIGH!! i am so tired...i had the most disastrous dinner of my whole life!! No not the taste of the food but the preparation !! i intended to cook porridge with spam coated with egg..yes that sounds good, or so it did to me. BUT after boiling the porridge , i put it aside and decided that it would be time to cut the spam and coat it. SO i started to cut my spam and then i took out the egg from the fridge. GOSH !! there was one egg that was already broken inside ! YES a newly bought tray of eggs. HOw stupid of me not to check. and then i slowly took a spoon and scooped the egg out. BUt i then realised that it affected the other eggs too, thus making them stuck to the box. SO i took out all of the eggs and put them into a plastic container. AND I PUT IT ON THE HOT plate!!! that was the biggest mistake ever. REmember that i just boiled my porridge so my hotplate is hot. YES how clever i was and i put the plastic container on the HOT plate. And yes as u can probably guess now. THE PLASTIC CONTAINER MELTED!! ARRRGHHHHH!!!! ANd i had to take a sponge to remove all that.. AND yes its poisonous fumes. It was so hot that i sort of burnt my finger. IF u think this is all, u are clearly mistaken. That was only the beginning. SO i had to clear up a whole big mess. ANd then i started to fry my luncheon meat and all . Then i put it all on the table. NExt, i held the bovril by the cap and it flew out from my hand. YES I had to chase the rolling BOVRIL bottle. Oh i forgot to mention that i couldnt open the bovril cover earlier before i started cooking so much so after struggling for so long. I decided to apply my ever so limited knowledge of science. Heat will expand the cover ! and so it struck me and i went to boil water just to open the stupid cover. Ok and now back to where i was. So i started eating my dinner and all. I had so much washing to do after that. Ok nvm then when i was gonna throw the trash i realised the egg had leaked out all over my bin. SIGH!! and i had to wash the trash can too ..!! AS if i didnt have enough washing.!! THis is the worst experience ever...smelling poisonous fumes. getting all irritated with the stupid things that i do. MY goodness!!! worse day every!! I HATE COOKING !!! i cant stand it..it kills me so much!!! juST when i thought i was getting back into the swing of it..it has totally turned me off.!!!!!!! Im so mad, what a disastrous dinner. i shant cook porridge for a long long time.!!!!..............................

first week back

I just got back from grocery shopping at victoria market and safeway. Tired,arms aching and all are words i can only describe my present state. Yes, it has been a while since i last did any of these things. I escaped from these stuff when i went back to singapore but now im back to having do it again. Oh well, guess thats life overseas by yourself. This week has been mentally and physically exhausting for me. Well, firstly its results week, secondly, its back to doing everything by myself again. Quite a struggle i must admit, considering i lived a sheltered and comfortable life at least for the past two weeks. Honestly, I kinda miss that. Well, i got all my results back. It was all right but not quite up to my expectation. Was quite disappointed with some results.Initially i did struggle to come to terms with my results. It is really weird cos here though u get 80 over percent you are not happy. Thats because the expectations is different i suppose. I was brooding over my results for quite a while but i decided that there is no point on doing that anymore. It would serve no purpose. Its easier said than done , but i would definitely try. Ok everyone here is feeling quite homesick, and im no exceptional. IT takes a while to adjust back to life here i suppose. Ive had quite a hard week this week but as dad says "life is full of ups and downs". I guess its my down period now . But i hope it will be over soon . My brother has been in the army for about four days? I saw the picture dad sent me yesterday. He is really BALD now. LIKE BALD. haha . but im really proud of my brother. He has really excelled in poly. Well done bro !! Anyway alot of issues have been brought up between my parents and myself. Friends , life skills and all have been discussed. I will not go into detail but it has been useful in helping me see the big picture and my parents have always been so supportive and all. Giving me advices in my most dire state and all. Thanks mum and dad. I appreciate it alot. Sorry for making you all tolerate all my whining and all. I am really quite a whiner. Sigh. This has been a week since i came back. LOts have happened and alot more are about to come. Life is a journey, a long one full of ups and downs. I just have to learn to deal with it.

back in australia

I'm back in melbourne once again and the next time i'll be going back to singapore will be in december. Seems quite a long time from now. Anyway i really enjoyed my stay in singapore, good food, great company, great shopping. Everything was great. I really enjoyed every bit of it. My brother is going into army tomorrow. Wow, time really flies and yes this is a new chapter in his life . Well bro, all the best inside .i'm sure you will do fine. The weather here is really cold , well obviously because its winter. Im still adjusting back into my normal life here, cooking and eating alone and getting used to my small room. I kinda miss my bedroom . sigh. This half of the year is gonna be crucial for me and yeah im gonna do my utmost best and score. Ive been here for more than half a year already. Time does pass quickly. Everyone here is missing home. Sometimes going back home and coming back here again makes one miss home even more . But then again , i should feel refreshed and ready to face the challenges of the second half of the year. My parents will be coming up in sept =) . In the meantime, all the best once again bro and mum and dad..take care =) love you all.
