Unusual methods of eating...


Ok, I think everyone out there has some pretty wierd methods of eating perfectly ordinary stuff. Like drinking coffee with salt instead of sugar etc etc. Here I will be posting something no westerner would even contemplate (hahah unless they are Anthony Bourdain!)

what you see above is me having a sambal petai on softmeal bread! My mum's sambal petai really rocks. YUM! (I didn't want to eat rice so here it is!) To the ignorant, the petai is also known as the SMELLY BEAN. It's pungent and peeps who have never tried it may find the taste and smell overwhelming. Fusion cuisine at its best HAHAH

The Love of My Life

ha, don't be fulled by the heading. But definitely, a good book is the love of my life! The anticipation when an eagerly awaited book is finally out and I can get my trembling hands on its brand new, drool worthy cover is worth every moment of the pure agonizing wait.

My heart pounds in excitement and I practically want to scream with the joy of finally being able to read it. Little shivers literally run up my spine and its ecstasy in pure undiluted form. Nothing can compete with the joys of a new book, one I have been totally and obsessively awaiting. No male in this world can even compete. Romance between the sheets (pun intended) and better than in real. You may think its sad, but what you think ain't my problem!

I am planning a date with my fifth book in JR Wards Brotherhood of the Black Dagger. Yep, a date where neices and nephies have no way of interrupting with no one at home to bug me and where I have my book and Vishous, protag of Lover Unbound all to myself. And of course on my sunbed and between the sheets (in real) .

Exam Stress

Ha...the exams are around the corner with PSLE next week and I am totally BUMMED OUT! Nope, not with bumming around, rather with the amount of work I had to do prepping my students for the big E.

Situation has gone critical, so much so that I have four students back to back on some days with barely enough time to travel from one place to another. And not with public transport either. I've been also having a headache the last couple of days. Either its from overwork or from the bad weather, or maybe just plan unsatisfactory sleep. I'll be glad when its all over. Poorer but relieved. Rest is essential and I would love to have a solid week off from working.

Yea, people think tutors have an easy life and admittedly, its not as stressful as working full time in schools. But its still not entirely easy. Still have to contend with unmotivated kids and their worried parents. BAH!
