Tired

You owe us this much, bastard.

Or at least, you owe my mom this much.

Don't tell me you don't have money, you earn enough to support a stranger woman and her stranger son.

You love me. You love me? You don't even tell me what's going on. What am I to you, stupid? I wasn't born yesterday. (sure, but tell my sister, she is the smarter one after all.)

We just want a nice flat the block just beside where we used to stay. It's not condo, let alone a house where we now are.

You're forcing us to stay here. I think you just making fun of my mom, and better yet, you do it behind my back while you kiss my ignorant ass.

And you want us to stay cause this house has got...sentimental value. Yeah it smells like late Grandpa when he stayed here. But I have as much sentiment for grandpa and this house as you do for my mother and this family.

Grandpa did tell you to be a good man while he was still here, you know, but I didn't see you care as much about him back then.

Do you hate me? I don't think you want me anymore. You just selfish, a chauvanistic pig.

Mom, I wish you didn't have to worry or sleep on things. I want to "think about it" for you, but alas, it is not mine to decide.

But I have my own to worry about. I have a title to defend, I have exams to handle, it's not the whole world on my shoulders, but it sure feels heavy.

You're mad at me for being nice to him. But, he is my dad, he likes to say he loves me, but who doesn't like to hear that?

It's Good Friday!

I don't know if you've noticed, but it always rains with thunder on Good Friday.

I always believed (and still do) that God sends the rain on this day. When I was little I thought God could be crying on this Good Friday, the rain is His tears and the thunder his anger towards our disobedience.

I know God doesn't literally cry, but I think the rain and overcast weather is always a good reminder for me on this day.

I'm making a cinnamon roll lamb. It's supposed to look like this.

Soccer Camp!

I earned my stripes.

Seriously, I feel so so happy. I worked my arse off for this just like the rest of the team, and I knew then that I wasn't a liability to the team, as slow as I am to learn. I tried my very bestest and I made progress and learnt alot! And I'm glad to know that I didn't let my team, coach or myself down.

Hope I continue like this. It was a great camp, and I came out learning so much.

Oh I made really low fat chewy oatmeal raisin cookies. They were pretty awesome and as good as any other cookie I've made. Nomnom. I like oatmeal raisin.

I should get a camera already

To photograph the stuff I make. Because with no picture, my posts are awfully boring. I can't think of something to say, besides

1) I'm trying to buy a soup book. I love making soup.
2) I should try coming up with a roasted pumpkin and caramelized apple soup.

Mandatory Update

Since the June holidays, I made

-Chickpeas a la King (SO good)
-Creole Black eyed peas (Awesome.)
-Black eyed peas and kale soup (best ever!)
-Hummus (again)
-Chickpea spinach curry (a little bland)
-Chickpea Noodle Soup(never get tired of this)
-Dal Bhaji (uggh. total flop)
-Pea Spread (better than it sounds)
-Tofu Scramble (Best way to do tofu)
-Italian Grilled tofu (yum!)
-Black bean burritos (mm...soso. )
-Refried beans in burritos (LOVE the refried beans!)

I made double chocolate muffins which were a huge success! And chocolate cake, and raspberry blackout cake for teacher's day. That one was the best cake EVER.

I also made apple pie, but the filling shrunk away from the crust.

Next up I plan to try out Vcon's french lentil soup.

AARGH EXAMS!!!!

I must must must learn to focus. And pull up my chem grades.

I. Am. A. Cow.

A freaking cow. Mia's right.

Here's how the cow brought pandemonium upon her fridge:

She came home hungry at night and ate

3 oranges
3 random celery sticks
2 carrots
a tiny kabocha squash
3 nectarines

how did I manage to stuff so much food into my tummy anyway?

So now I'm satisfied. Can feel all that water and bulk in my 4 stomachs, but strangely I'm not full till I feel sick.

I realised I love nectarines though! I used to think they were "meh" because I thought peaches are so much more superior (and expensive), but nectarines are really good too!

Okay...with input, comes the *ahem* output.
