Clumsy

So, you people who read my blog knows how clumsy I can get..

Today, while preparing dinner, I had 2 accidents.

Both accidents are 'corn'-related..

First, while trying to break a whole cob of corn into 2 pieces, I accidentally sliced my finger. I have a cut there now, and it's not so bad considering I have a waterproof plaster on it now.

Second, while trying to fish the cooked corn out onto a dish, it accidentally slipped and dropped onto my lap.

I'm telling you this because I have this burn mark pattern on my thigh that is super hilarious looking.

Here's the picture.

Corn-burn~!

Haha, so cool in a sadistic type of way right? This is the most awesome burn mark I have ever had. =)

Anyways, time for me to go to bed.. Have a great week every one..

Brownie..

I'm super craving for some brownies now, so I have no mood to blog.

I have a few topics in mind to write up actually, but that time of the month is upon me, and all I wanna do is eat and be lazy, because of the stupid cramps.

So I think I should be ok to blog by this week.

Sorry for ignoring this space..

Hope everyone is well and fine~!

Spring?

I just read Cherry's post on Spring, which is her favourite season. I wished I knew how Spring is like.

Living in Singapore, we also have 4 seasons: Hot and humid, hot and dry, wet and humid, wet and cold.

The first time I went to Sydney, it was Summer I think. It was in March, so I dunno what season it was. Anyways, I liked it, because the sun was scorching hot, BUT there was a nice clean cold breeze to cool us off. Unlike in Singapore, the sun is scorching hot, but there's no breeze at all..

Sigh..

I miss Australia. I wanna go for a holiday there again and meet all my super friends.. Haha..

Maybe next year, if it's possible. Not sure if travelling can be fit into the next 3 years, considering I'll be starting my diploma and then working non-stop. But I can still hope.

On to other topics, Eric (Belmore from WoW) is coming to Singapore this week.. Haha, did not meet him before in real life the last 2 times I was in Sydney, so I'll be hanging out with him tomorrow. Haha.. Not sure where to bring him though, cause when I go out, I go shopping with girls.. Haha..

But we are definitely gonna eat non-stop! Local food, here we come!

That's about it for now. =)

Have a great week everyone..

Annoyance

It annoys me to no ends, when you watch movies depicting history and you realise that it was a common practice for men back then to have mistresses and concubines.

Look at the French and English court, whereby a King can be married to his Queen, but visiting their ladies-in-waiting every single night. The Chinese Emperor and his hundreds of concubines. Even if they are not royalty, if men can afford it, they too can have mistresses and concubines.

Were there no such thing as monogamy back then?

Good thing we women have come a long long way, and DEMAND monogamy from our partners. Makes me feel proud and strong when women are now able to demand divorce when their other half cheats. Also makes me proud that some laws help us by making sure the guy gives us alimony, especially if there are kids involved.

Grrr...

Rant over~!

Nothing much has been happening to me. My brother finally passed his driving test and is a legal driver now. Haha.. Dad bought a new manual car that we get to use once his Evo 10 is fixed. =P

So I'm working hard towards getting my licence end of this year I hope.

For my dieting, I haven't been doing much. But I have cut down on my food intake, drinking more water, eating my supplements and squeezing in some exercise when I'm not too lazy.

That's about it.

Hope you people have a good week ahead..

It's time..

For drastic actions...

Another month has gone, and I've put on another kilogram. I thought I still had that fast metabolism that has been with me through my teenage years. Evidently, it has left me. So it's time for me to start dieting and to start my hard core exercise regime.

Gonna go get myself a new swimming suit tomorrow, then the schedule starts next week! Running in the evenings and swimming in the mornings...

Goal is to shave off the 6 kgs by the start of November. I've been falling sick a lot too.. Maybe it's because of the unhealthy lifestyle I have been living. I just got well last week from a bout of throat infection, and now, my throat is starting to hurt again. Need to get my health back together. Been feeling super tired daily, even when I've had a full 8 hours of beauty sleep. And my complexion has taken a bad turn too.. Looks like I need to start back on my vitamins and supplements.

Really need to start taking care of myself. So easy to tell people what they should do when you can't even follow your own advise. Ha!

Also, my back has been bugging me for the past few months. I really should go see a chiropractor for it, but it's gonna cost so much and I'd rather not spend the money on medical fees.

Oh well, that's all the update I have.. Wind-drying my hair now so I can sleep soon.

Have a safe week everyone. =)

Family

I seriously need to get it off my chest..

You either like or dislike them.

For me, most times, it's dislike.

I can't help but feel my mom hates me. Like I'm not hers.

Like because I am a girl, I am useless and therefore less important compared to my brother.

She doesn't encourage me, doesn't give me support. Always putting me down, and making me feel like crap. And when she's in a bad mood, I'm conveniently the one she vents it on.

When I help out at home, she takes it for granted. When I do nothing, she screams at me and says she's not the maid. She's constantly trying to get rid of me from the house because I mess it up, according to her.

I am the only person who helps her out at home. I help to wash the dishes whenever there are some in the sink. I help to vacuum and mop the floor once in a while. I help her when she's cooking. I help cook for the family when she's at work. I am the other person who does more work around the house than the rest of the family.

And I get shit constantly everyday.

Sometimes, I just wanna run away from this house as soon as possible. See if she needs me then, when there's no one around to help her.

GRRRR...

Rant over...

I still feel quite sad though.

I will never ever be like that to my children. I will treat them equally whether they be boy or girl. And I will always be close to them, and say I love them all the time..

Elated!!!

So.... Remember the side project I've been hinting about? I didn't really wanted to tell anyone cause I didn't wanna be super disappointed when I do not get into it. I just got a reply back and....

I am going back to school!

I've enrolled in the Diploma in Pastry and Bakery Arts! So happy!

I will start classes next year, and I can't can't wait!

The School I've enrolled in is pretty reputable in Singapore, with their graduates working in hotel kitchens all over Singapore. And Singapore do have great hotels..

So anyways, it's a good thing the course will be heavily subsidised by the Government, or I would have to shell out 23k for a 17 months course. Not sure how much subsidy though, but more than half, that I am sure of.

After almost a month of waiting, I can relax and wait for school to start now. =)

Finally I can pursue my dreams! Hopefully eventually, I can open my own cafe! Heehee.. But first, I need to get that Diploma!

Hope you guys have a great remaining week. I know mine just became better.. =P
