Thankful

After a hectic day with the taxi driver and all that, I sit back at the kitchen table and turn on the laptop. I open up my email inbox and find an email (forwarded obviously) which is quite thought-provoking. I was at my lowest ebb until I read this email, which made me think that maybe I was making too big a deal about things.

I AM THANKFUL: FOR THE WIFE
WHO SAYS IT'S EGGS N BACON TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.


FOR THE HUSBAND
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.


FOR THE TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
AND NOT ON THE STREETS.


FOR THE TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM EMPLOYED.



FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FAMILY & FRIENDS.


FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.



FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.



FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME.


FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.


FOR THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.


FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM WARM.


FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
WHO SINGS OFF KEY

BECAUSE IT MEANS
I CAN HEAR.



FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.



FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN
CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.



FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.

Well, I may not be married with kids, nor do I have taxes to pay (but I pay the bills and taxes at home) but the message makes me think about how much I have been complaining over the past few days. Screw that, then. What do I know, right? ;)

Busy

I put out my hand and signal for the incoming taxi, but the greeen cab turns into the adjacent street. Son-of-a...

The sun is out and at full force today. I have been out since nine in the morning, travelling, as I always seem to be doing. Errands are a bloody bane on my life. I had to go to Klang to sign documents and do some banking work after which I was supposed to meet N for consultation with Miss Sh. As I was heading back to KL, I got a call from N saying he was not able to make it for consultation and had cancelled it. Sigh. More last-minute screwups.

Short of giving the finger to the heavens, I decide to stay calm and just get on with what I had to do. No matter, I thought, I'll just go to the Department of Student Affairs and retrieve some forms I had to fill in. Dreading the sun, I still got down from the bus and walked to PD block.

I came out ten minutes later empty-handed; those forms are only necessary after I have received my final exam results. A bloody waste of my time.

So here I am, partially hidden from the sun, under the protection of the bus stop, hailing cabs and hoping a bus comes along so I don't need the cab. Call me indecisive.

Finally I get a cab and get it gratefully, taking in the cool air-conditioning. I breathe out in relief.

"Hot, isn't it?" the driver says. He's a chubby man with a scarred face.

Oh someone who's on my side. "Yes, it is," I reply. "Very."

"You don't like it?" he asks.

No, I fucking don't. "No," I say adding a chuckle. "You do?"

"Yes, I do," he replies.

I do a double take. What happened to being on my side? I am on the verge of telling him I don't give a rat's ass what he thinks when he asks "Why don't you like the heat?"

Once again, I am stunned. No one has ever asked me that before. I mean it goes without saying doesn't it?

"Well, er, you see, it's hot, and uncomfortable, and I'll sweat alot, and I'll stink." Not to mention I'm telling this all to a taxi driver.

"Aiya...wear expensive deodorant lah," he says. What the hell?! Why am I even having this conversation with this guy?

"Why do you like the heat then?" I ask. He aint getting the better of me. Hmph.

"Hot is very good," he says. "You know I just got back from jogging. I like to jog at noon." He pats his stomach. "You should exercise lah."

At this I realised I have nothing to say to this man. I shut my trap and waited to get down from the freaking taxi driven by a mad exercise freak who thinks it cool to jog at a time when the sun is the hottest and then change the topic of discussion from the heat to exercising. The hell.

"Oh look at that girl."

Great. He's horny as well.

Lunch

As I enter class late, I decide to have my breakfast. I have skipped it enough times. Breakfast, not the class. Hunger is me and I crave a nice Nasi Lemak. I head to the cafeteria and see the beautiful packs of Nasi Lemak awaiting my grasp, stacked on a wooden tray on the shelf. Ah, bliss.

Later, class is over and we head over to the new Cold Storage building beside the Jaya One complex. By "we" I mean Alex, YH and I. The others did not bother coming to class.

The moment we enter I spot free samples left and right. Free samples are the best. Sometimes I go back for seconds when they don't seem to remember me. But that's not all the time, so usually I'm stuck with only one sample.

I get a free sample of some juice, butter on bread, and a small chunk of a granola bar before we head to the Non-Halal section. Despite being a strict believer of pigs' rights, I get tempted to try a few free samples of luncheon meat. I take a bite of the meat on a toothpick and immediately I feel like spitting it out. It's not that it had gone bad or anything; I just can't stomach pork. I feel pity for the poor pig that had to be slaughtered. Don't ask me why I don't feel the same way for chicken.

We walk out of Cold Storage with a tin of whipped cream (sweetened) in my hand. I feel so accomplished with it in my hand. After so long of wishing I could get a can and spray cream into my mouth, I finally got my wish.

Killineys looked alright for lunch, so we entered, ordered, and camwhored. YH coincidentally... just happened to have a camera with him. So sue us.

We tried to take it from the side, but it just didn't work.

Waiting for Airlacks to set the camera up, when he accidentally snapped.

Almost perfect. :/

Later on at night, I check my email and notice YH has sent me the pictures we took in the afternoon. Fuyoh, it comes with a speech and all. I so need to spread this, :D

i dont remember how 2 write a letter n blablabla so i'll just say: You rock!! *the rest of the content has been censored due to reader discretion*

Check it out, I rock ;)

Snack

I put down my book and listen for noises outside the door. Pin-drop silence, except for the soft whirring of the washing machine downstairs. I peer through the space between the door and the floor. Some light coming from the left side emanates; I think the light upstairs is on. Okay, all systems go.

I can feel the batter calling me from within the depths of the refridgerator. My heart thumps as I near the fridge, slowly and very subtly exciting me. My mouth can just taste the fried batter, my taste buds working off the scale. The sourish, crispy, and soft texture of the fried thosai gives me slight goosebumps and I grab the handle of the fridge. I picture the dollops of ghee I shall add onto the fried thosai after very tenderly scraping it from the hot pan.

I open the door of the fridge.The golden brown colour of the to-be-fried batter will be hot so that the ghee that is dropped onto it melts away like ice under the sun. I shall tear off a piece of the thosai and gently rest it between my teeth and on top of my tongue. I can just taste the savoury flavour of the thosai and ghee in my mouth...

Is that cake? My eyes rest upon the looks of a piece of a cake. Second shelf, on the far right ride. The black chocolate frosting shines brightly under the light of the fridge, making the white icing words stand out. There is a thick white layer of cream, sandwiched between two chocolate cake tops. Mmm, lusciousscrumptiouschocolicious all in one.

Mmm. After muching on a piece of Chocolate Devil, I close the fridge door. I start walking away and decide to finish up my book.

Suddenly my heart starts pounding again. I am instantly reminded of the tupperware of sour batter awaiting my grasp. God I am a food-o-holic.

Five minutes late my thosai is hot and toasting on the stove. The smell and sound of frying thosai is so invigorating at this time of night.

I put a laptop onto the counter and start it up. My book lays unread beside it, while I start typing away. Oh it feels great. Everyone's asleep, I get to sit back and snack while perusing the World Wide Web. Luckily for me everyone in the house sleeps early. They're really good people, who despite nag me to sleep, allow me to spend my nights up late doing what I want, as I'm always in their servitude during the day.

"Sudhan what are you doing?"

What the fuck! Why is he awake?! Shit! The stove is on and the thosai is crackling away on the pan. I can't hide it and I have no time to cover. What the fuck am I going to do?

Okay maybe I stretched the truth a little when I said they allow me to stay up. When I say allow I actually mean they don't know that I stay up late and munch on food so I'd rather keep that info the hell away from them.

What the fuck is he doing down at this time? It's late! What the fuck am I going to do? I decide to relent. Okay, that should work. Just pretend like this aint a big deal.

"Yeah, well I'm just in the kitchen, having a snack."

Okay that went well. Nothing happens. When all is quiet and everyone is asleep again (which I hope to God is true) I turn on Cinemax to watch True Blood. Why Cinemax is airing a HBO orginal production is beyond me.

I hear the door upstairs opening once again. Oh for heaven's sake. This is going to be a long night.
