wah.. i just spent 3 hours translating 5 yrs of aeronautical engr syllabus for admin purposes.. cant think properly anymore. suddenly, i dunno if aero engr wld be e thing for me afterall. theres so much mechanics involved, and having seen them already and not really liking them this yr, i cant imagine wat it wld be like to be doing it for all 5 yrs, eeek..looks like i had better decide properly.
have u ever been caught in a dilemma, or in such a situation where u have to choose btwn 2 things that u take days or even weeks to decide? wldnt it be great if u were to go to bed, without having it possess ur dreams, and then wake up e next morn knowing wat to do/choose? i really hate being in such a position, whereby my choice cld affect the rest of my life. more accurately, i hate myself for being such a drifter, for not knowing exactly what i really want, and not knowing where my strength lies and what my goals are...
and i miss rice so much!! my gdness, fried rice, steamed rice, glutinous rice, bak chang rice, rice pudding.. etc. i crave for anything that has rice! ive a hand-me-down rice cooker since jan, and it is perched nicely on top of my microwave, collecting dust dutifully for e past 4 months. this is despite my having bought my 1st packet of rice last nov, my gdness.. the 1kg pack has been lying somewhere for e past few months. i cant believe that i could last so long on pasta and noodles, argh.. i think ive tried most types of pasta already, watever shape,length,thickness, colour, except the black one tt ive seen in italy. egg noodles also eat until can puke. i wish i have yellow hokkien mee and kway teow. now, i didnt touch e rice cooker all this while as i thought it wld be troublesome to wash it after that. moreover, cooking pasta/noodles is faster, easier and i can eat straight from the pot without having to transfer it to a bowl or plate. haha, just so i could save time by washing one less plate/bowl. i know its silly; so last wkend, i decided to cook rice for my first time. wah, they say the first time is never what u expect it to be, how true man. i was studying while the rice was merrily cooking in it till the cover rattled like it was alive!! i got a shock and hurriedly took it off, only to see lotsa bubbles and even foam floating to the surface. i didnt noe what to do, so when e foam subsided, i covered it back. this happened for a few times till i got fed up, so i took the rice stirrer, stirred thoroughly, and then left the cover 'ajar'. tadaa, no risk of spilling over now. but the damned cooker just kept cooking and cooking for over 20 mins even tho i just added one cupful, so i had no choice but to switch it to 'keep warm' mode. i didnt want my rice burnt. turned out tt i didnt get rice, i got some horrible porridge thats so pasty and dry even oliver twist wld have turned his nose up at it. at first, i dismissed e whole incident as an oversight of adding to much water. but the 2nd round proved me wrong. I cooked rice again yesterday for the grand total of 2 times. it felt like an culinary adventure, albeit a really pathetic and stupid one where no one has ever failed except me. this time i took care to add e right amount of water.. but to no avail again. its really sickening, the cover rattled like anything and i had porridge yet again. the prob doesnt lie with me does it? shldnt all rice cookers do their job properly, which is to cook the rice without any human interference, and then switch automatically to 'keep warm' mode when its done? why doesnt mine do that?
just 1 hr away to philo and french cls boo hoo. i didnt finish my hmwk on purpose because i think its ridiculous to expect me to summarise 3 freaking story books on philo. think of sophie's world, with less of the fiction component. how to summarise u tell me? on e other hand, i think its amazing how i can go into cls feeling 100% alert, and then the moment ive to take notes/listen to e lecture/solve e prob, my brain slowly comes to a standstill, and this nice feeling of heavy eyelids and drowsiness wld just overcome me. its a pity then that when its time to sleep at nite, my mind's always buzzing with activity, im constantly thinking of stuff and have to turn and toss till i drift off..
and next wkend im gg to disneyland yay! but theres a catch: ive 4 papers on monday to sit for, great. things always crop up in the end to spoil the nice rosy picture. nvm, id see how it goes. anyway, thankfully they should be fairly easy papers save for 2 of them. and ive finally booked my air hooray! if all goes well, i shld be back in spore by mid-jun! im praying really hard that all dossier-transferring, shifting, and admin procedures go smoothly. *keeps fingers crossed*
Raunchy!!! I like!! haha :)
