tomyam affair

cant believe im actually here! after such a long hiatus. haha.

i hope for the day the parts will become whole, because everything in our lives, every branch of knowledge is a fragment thats part of a larger cosmic whole. i want to see how things fit together in their jigsaw custom-fit edges, i want to see and understand and go WOW God youre so brilliant! and suddenly everything that i ever tasted, experienced, sweated through, ploughed through, thought about, will become crystal.

biology, design, physics, housework, friendships, heartpains, symbols, histories, religions, truth, architecture, technology, nature- is it ever possible to conceive of them as same threads of a common web, which He alone holds together? nothing you ever do can shake you out of his perfect plan for your life.

im sitting at the desktop in school now, pretty much alone in studio, waiting for dad to pick me up. had interim crit today so im kinda brain blurred, my eyes are fuzzy and dry, but im thankful that it went well today. so thankful, that God allows me to pull through every single time even when it seems bleakest and most impossible. now this looks like a scene from a sappy translated korean drama haha. NO!

i got scolded by the fish soup auntie at the canteen while buying dinner today. okay, the auntie at the stall called Uncle Soup. go figure. its quite hilarious actually.
i asked her for TomYam Fish Porridge.
cos i normally get Sliced Fish Porridge? which happens to be 30cents cheaper than Sliced Fish Soup+Rice, (which essentially is just the rice in a plastic bag instead of the soup; so i figure, why pay to dump the rice in the soup myself?)
and she scolded me:
'mei you tom yam yu zhou la!' (no tomyam fish porridge la!- for you chinese infidels)
wo mai tomyam yi jin zhuan bu dao qian le la. hai yao tom yam zhou!
( i already dont make money selling tomyam soup already la, still ask for tomyam porridge!)
and i was taken aback cos the verbal assault was in chinese, i was defenceless. unfair!
dumbstruck 'ohh..okay.'
mean auntie 'SO what you want!!'
confused customer- 'err.. tom yam yu zhou + fan!
(which was really stupid, i know! but two hours of sleep last night + CHINESE, give chance la)
vehement auntie- 'MEI YOU TOM YAM YU ZHOU!!!!' \

haaaai. so exciting.
