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.

HOME SWEET HOME SOON!

hey everyone ! im gonna be home in like three days! yipee..in the meantime ive one more paper left.Psychology. Yups. i have today and tomorrow to study for the paper. Rebecca's wedding is coming up in like a few days. I bet everyone must be really busy and stuff. The weather here has been pretty cold lately, wait actually very cold. Yeah i heard its snowing in mt buller. haha cool . Dad , u are going back to singapore tomorrow right? Heard its hot in switzerland. I guess most parts of the world are hot only aussie is weird cos its always the opp. Anyway if anyone needs anything from melb, tell me k. I still have fri night to buy. In the meantime , need to get back to my bookS! take care ! see everyone soon!!hugs

Bad day!

Sometimes life is so weird i cant quite understand it. I had my monologue today. I spent a long long time practising and rehearsing and whatever u call it. But guess what? i forgot the last line !!! Bleagh! My teacher told me the first word then it all came back again. Haiz..was really disappointed and angry. I really dunno what happened . i wasnt nervous until i forgot but just that sudden moment i dunno why i forgot. Thankfully i didnt panic when i forgot , i just went on acting. I was so angry and disappointed while walking home. Felt moodless and sad cos i really tried my best. Sometimes i feel this acting thing kills me. Thankfully this is the last solo exam. the rest will be in a group. Oh well, i came back then i went straight to sleep. I was fuming mad and i decided the best way to cool down and forget abt it was to sleep it off. Ok i was so angry i cried. Haiz...after i woke up i felt much better. Like i thought it through, maybe God made it happen for a reason. Sometimes i really dunno why things happen this way. Esp when u have tried ur utmost best and yet things dont turn out the way u want it too. I have concluded,,,THATS LIFE. i practised so much until i cut my last finger till it bled. haiz...bad bad day...never mind..everyone has bad days... ill generate my energy to studying the rest of my subs..way more impt than this... ive finally finished all my assignments..eap..hoi and now monologue... im suppose to be happy that its over..i am..maybe the monologue thing just spoiled it all. But the consolation is i really did try my best.

exams!!!

hey everyone ! just got my timetable today. sigh. my last paper is on the 24th and its an afternoon paper. So guess i cant be present for the church wedding. But i'll be back for the dinner. kinda disappointed but oh well, guess thats part of God's plan for me. Its been quite long since anyone last posted, where has everyone gone. anyway i dont think i cant post anything the next few weeks cos my exams are coming up so ive got to study and all. Anyway , hope everyone is doing fine. =)The weather here is really cold now. like 12 degrees and all. So yeah ive been wearing my winter jacket though its only autumn. WEll, gotta go now. Take care everyone ! =)

feeling better

hey everyone !
It was so nice to hear everyone's voice yesterday though i couldnt see ya. Made me feel better. well, im feeling better now. No more fever and all. A bit of sore throat but all is fine . Except that ive sort of lost my appetite all together like i cant finish a bowl of porridge or anything. Guess thats part of being sick and all . Its not a holiday tomorrow unlike singpaore cos its labour day. Here, i guess they dont have that kinda holiday. But just as well cos i wouldnt wanna miss lessons and have to go for makeup lessons and all. Heard aaron and alvin are sick too. Hope they have recovered. Well, at least its not cold back home . Trust me when its cold you will feel ten times more miserable and uncomfortable. I was shivering that day, that was torturous. Its may today. Another one month plus and ill be home . Cant wait to see all of you!! Though i see all of ya on the webcam and all but its diferent from seeing you'll in real life. Dad and mum start scouting for places to go and eat. Bet you all have discovered many places already. =) WEll, everyone pray that ive no paper on the 24th and that ill be able to go home. I put 100% trust in God that he will lead the path . Take care everyone ! i miss all of you ! Make sure to on the aircon since its so hot back home. Well for me ill have to bring a thick jacket out . love all of you !!

ps: post more msgs everyone !! reading them is my leisure . haha
