For countless mornings now, i've been planning to have cereal or a homemade ham sandwich for breakfast.. These lofty plans are made before bed and carried thru dreamland and the REMs before i finally awaken to a brand new day.. ... only to realise that s#%t it's too late and i hv to rush to get ready.. I whisper a short prayer to God thanking Him for the new day.. and ask that He goes before me.. AND i apologise for using s#%t earlier! :) haha
SO.. my breakfast plan doesn't bear any fruit and i'm left to fend for myself jostling in the mtr with countless far more experienced hongkongese (that's what they call themselves!) commuters trying to get to work.. all of this, on an empty stomach.. How sad is that? :( worst part of this whole ordeal is that i never know what to buy for breakfast because obviously the decision-making function of my brain is not awake this early in the morning...
Note to self.. I wanna have cereal or a homemade sandwich at least ONCE before I leave this country for good!
And... laundromats.. I like carrying laundry to the laundromat.. It gives me an artificial sense of importance and accomplishment (though if I were all that important or accomplished, I wouldn't be bringing my laundry anywhere by myself!) Anyhow, this rainy morning, I decided to wash two rain jackets and my bedsheets.. And I'm still utterly amazed at how washing 2 rain jackets can cost 5x more than a whole big bag of sheets! How do they do the math I wonder.. ?
Almost at work now.. raining kittens and puppies today.. Thank God for a brand new day.. with or without breakfast :)

perhaps you should get someone to help you with those chores. i would recommend a beatnik - they're very helpful. i know of one who's up for hire, if you're interested :)
hey!! how did you know this blog existed?? gosh!! hello! you ARE resourceful! after years of service in the youth ministry eh? stealthy and resourceful :D i miss the breakfast (and a yummy omelette supper!) that you made for me and thanks LOADS for carrying my laundry back from the laundromat! when you coming again?
muahahahaa...i'm clever :P n i knew u'd be clever enuf to figure who i was :) so, would u you like my services? heh... i shall drop by (the blog, i mean) more often :)
omg. is that a bengawan solo box i spy still sitting in your fridge?
i hope you're just keeping the box.
and not the lapis cake inside it... it's disintegrated into a pile of grey by now, i suspect? when's the last time you checked on your li'l science project?
go and buy a bor lor bao from that honky cafe downstairs lah!
or, bring the cereal to work. have a li'l bowl and spoon sitting around in your drawer. then all you need to do is buy some milk from some convenience store. your colleagues will eye you with envy. i think.
or not.
hmm.
haha... i finished ALL the lapis.. ALL by myself!! all of it is showing in my expanded mid-section! :) you have sharp eyes i must say! :)
don't think they'd be too envious of the uncool li'l bowl and spoon.. ;)
eh. by the way, your eye peering out through that hole in the tissue paper freaks me out a little every time i (accidentally) scroll down.
this blog reminds me of ur fridge... the same old stuff just sits there for a really LONG time. eh, update so i noe what's up wif u!
