Fishy Business

I didn't sleep very long last night. I woke up quite early, considering that I didn't set my alarm. bro was still at home, not intending to go out cause he needed to study. I didn't want to go out and buy lunch either. I'd rather cook.

Heh... Cooking without recipe can sometimes result in disaster. Especially if you are not sure and happily set the microwave to 10 minutes on high and busy doing something else and forget to check. Overcooked fish taste hard and a bit rubbery while mushrooms and garlic just become chao tah. Tastebuds wish they could go on strike. Stomach wish it didn't have to digest it. I just wanted to quickly get the meal over and done with asap. I dread to even finish that 1 piece of fish.

Well, this was what really happened few weeks ago. I heard Bro saying that to cook the fish, he set it 10 minutes on the microwave. So I followed thinking that it has been tested and correct. So wrong! When I checked with him, he said ya... 10 minutes but not on high! On the preset function! ARgggh!

So this afternoon, I didn't want to follow anybody but myself. Cooked it my way, my style, my estimation. If its another disaster, heh heh, at least I got my other bro to share the unappetizing food with. Nah na nahhh. But I'll try my best lah.

When all the food was ready, I called him out to eat. But I think he didn't like the soup. The soup was those instant mix kind which came in the form of powder then you add your own water. He kept on eating the fish. Judging from the way he ate, 2 pieces of fish for both of us wasn't enough. I think my agarism for the timing and the seasoning were pretty good. La-di-dahh...

After clearing up, I slacked in front of my com surfing net for the whole day. Then at night, dad came home with my mail. Yes! Finally! The medical concealer which Conz bought for me has arrived! What a relieve!!! I thought it was lost in the mail cause I should have received it on thursday or friday, latest also saturday. Anyway, the envelope was torn almost into half already. The concealer was small and it could have easily slipped out and got lost totally. But thank goodness that it didn't. It was still snuggly placed in the envelope and undamanged. It took so long to arrive cause the good people at SingPost went to place it in a plastic bag, sealed it and then send it out.

So I'm like thinking, what if it was a cheque? Or worst still, cash, gift vouchers or other important paper thin stuff? I'll probably cry... But since its not, lets rejoice! Yeyyy!!
