Don't look back in Anger
So Sally can't wait she knows it's too late, cos we're walking on by...
For some reasons my sis and I talked about rotten food today and we laughed about how the TPJC bookshop Aunty--aka the scary, no conscience business woman she is. Denying that her sweets had any ants while simultaneously crushing them with her index fingers. "Ants, what Ants?(in Chinese) and of course her infamous and unforgettable one liner that I will remember for life and have now become my life motto when faced with suspicious food items. "Aiya! Can't die one lah!" (in CHinese) when we told her out of kind-heartedness that her riccola sweets have changed colour from a normal delicious looking red to a faded rusty/misty brown. She very boldly in her raised voice told me that i can't die from eating it. how true. So that is how I'm gonna look on at life now. Not with an ill intend to poison my guests and friends but "what can't kill ya only makes you stronger." I wish I was always this optimistic. Tell me about those times I cried for no apparent reason but only missing the warm, wet climate or a bowl of Ban Mian. Not to mention when I think of Macaroni Cheese at Kenny outlets. Yes "Aiya Can't Die one lah!" Chant it enough and I might even believe it if I ever flew out of a 27 storey window.
And yes Chunhui talking about bad food we mentioned your cancerous strawberries. I can't believe we were brainless enough to stuff ourselves with black-coloured strawberries--one of the strangest looking strawberries I've ever tasted. I suspect they are close to what radioactive strawberries with attitude would look like in early stages of decomposition but ok I do tend to exaggerate. I don't think we are really that stupid. Although I think it is enough to atone for giving maggot infested gold-coin chocolates to your sister in return for her kindness in helping me remove my earrings when I just had my ears pierced and it was so swollen and slippery I couldn't get it off and simply freaked out. Some grateful friends you have there Chunhui. Anyway we went to that same MAma shop and witness a family of happy baby cockroaches inside the bag of cuttlefish snacks. Are you still patronizing that mama shop? I wonder...
yes but to stick to my post title don't look back in Anger all these weird and sometimes horrible incidents are actually great nuggets (gold not chicken) for me to laugh at whenever I feel horribly down. My sis can be a witness to my sometimes horrible moods--I just had one of those day. SHe claims it is madness not mood.
Yes when I cry because of stupid things as weird and stupid and frivolous and any of these mentioned incidents. SO you guys see we all have our sad days, but after they've blown over and I've cried reaching the pit bottom, Li would understand, suddenly the world is beautiful again! And there's so much to laugh about and reminiscent about. So why look back in Anger or sadness when I can look back with a smile to cheer me on and remind me to keep looking forward to more of these small gems in our short span of a life in this "yes once again" Weird universe.

Yes nip i'm bravely attempting another go, like you encouraged me to!
Ya man, that's my motto - if eating it can't kill me, it makes me stronger (the TPJC auntie and I can be best friends!).
Ahem. Aside from those we've gone through, yes cigarette mashed potatoes, cancerous strawberries, worm infested chocs, I have a new horrow story. *evil grin*.
That day I was being lazy as usual and drank directly from that spout of the water container in my dark kitchen. Suddenly noticed something unusual floating inside after I took a sip. So I turned on the light and !!!!! THERE WAS A LIZARD FLOATING IN THERE!!! Couldn't spit out the water and rinse mouth fast enough.
It was still alive and I tried to rescue it by emptying the water on my balcony. Unfortunately, it died in boy boy's jaws in the end.
So there, I drank lizard water and survived. Didn't even have tummy upset. Now that I've conquered mild lizard germs, you can be sure my body has immunity to any future lizard-linked epidemics. Ha! *smug*
Ha sorry. go here instead.. having some prob with the other. http://sunlightinspring.blogspot.com/
