Oh My PRECIOUS!
Life sucks for a second when something you look forward to crumbles in your face
I was so bored and feeling peckish
And that feeling of wanting to munch was making me EXTRA grouchy cos i just tightened my damn braces and it hurts like a bitch to eat
The dentist said i’m not wearing my rubberbands religiously (which is *cough* part true)
So now i’m wearing SIX cos i will noT wear my braces for over two and half years so help me God!
It was pouring.
I can’t even walk to the shop behind to get something soft to munch on.
There’s nothing in the office pantry, and i wouldn’t dream of stealing someone else’s munchies.
When lo and behold!
I found a Digestive biscuit from Starbucks that i hadn’t yet scoffed.
Oh glory be!
So i happily made a hot cup of coffee + Milo
Cut open the plastic packet…
And slid the yummy cookie out, all ready to dip into my coffee…
When it cracked in half and dropped on the carpet.
-_-‘
I almost went “BOO HOO HOO!!!” out loud in the office.
Now i have half a Digestive.
*dips precious into coffee carefully*
Joyce Can Cook…
Erm…
Joyce Will Try To Cook..!
I was preparing food for StevenTheSpaniel as Mommy was bustling about the kitchen
“Hey want me to help you or not, on Chinese New Year Eve?”
The Wong Family always holds CNY Eve dinner at my grandmother’s house
Which is also where Smalls resides
But since their maid ran away
This year, for the first time *ever* (ever right, Min?) it will be in *my* house
So of course, being the filial daughter, i took it upon myself to offer help cook
*holds up hand to gasps all around*
Shut up.
I would very much rather dust the fairy figures lovingly then attempt lamely at cooking – with people poking fun at my back and saying i’m going to poison my entire family on CNY eve
Ohkay. So back to the conversation.
I was asking Mommy whether she wanted any help
“Help? Help WHAT.”She answered stonily
“Help anything la…”
“Okay la. You help cook one dish.”
“Ha..??”
0_o
Tiu. Plan backfired.
She’s supposed to pat me on the back and say what a thoughtful daughter i am for offering help, but since i’m so busy with work and always look so tired, i really shoulD rest so i can eat up all her food at the sacred dinner.
So i went over the menu with her trying to decide which one i’d mainly cook (while easily imagine my darling cousins’ faces at the thought of eating something *i*, the wonderful Joyce, cooked)
BWAHAHAHA.
Then i thought somemore,
Hmm, since it’s being held in *my* house
I can provide everyone with alcohol yayyyy!!!!
“I can buy more wine.”
I looked at Mommy with a seemingly-helpful face
Wow, see your amazing daughter – helping you cook AND bringing the drinks!
“Wine? Who will drink you tell me.”
“Erm… Uncle Tan… Aunty Cat…”
Crap. Ran out of names.
haha. “Uncle Tan. Aunty Cat. Aunty Joyce. Aunty Joyce. Aunty Joyce.” hehe
haha. “Uncle Tan. Aunty Cat. Aunty Joyce. Aunty Joyce. Aunty Joyce.” hehe
I think a disclaimer would be very important if you DO try to cook something for people to eat. Like take some ENO, antacid tablets and Po Chai Pills before attempting this stunt.

Your cooking can’t be that bad right…? -_- Offer to cook rice or set up the drinks station. Something with minimal labour.

What’s on the menu? Nowdays a lot of dishes also added with wine for better taste.
So, no need to give names lor =)

Heh I was fiddling with my cafepress shop today and ended up browsing for items on the site. These reminded me of you, albeit somewhat more gothic: click and click.

Here’s what I tell my mom every year to escape this situation. “Mum, too many people cook sure the food taste different after that. So what i can do for you is stay out of your way. And i’ll offer to do the harder work like entertain people, set the table and make myself look busy in front of the TV.” Works for me every year.
But if that still doesn’t work, well… then just let me know. i have lots of excuses to run away from task like these! heeheehee!

How’s this for a sinister plan. You can BUY all the alcohol (Malibu??) you fancy (on mum’s CNY account) and tell mum YOU will drink it. Hey… she didn’t say have to finish it within the CNY period rite? ๐
