Hello!

Welcome to Amway. If you are an employee, please head to the left and past the two double doors, into the lift. Your department is on floor 3.

Welcome to floor 3: Finance, Public Affairs and Human Resources. Please smile at our two lovely administrators who could pass as Judy Garland's aunts as you walk by them; remember to be nice to them when asking for a raise, but since you are only a temporary worker, head left again into the PA department.

Okay, I have gotta admit that it is cool that I am working in a branch of a multibillion dollar, international direct sales corporation. Still, it would be much cooler if I was not part of the 6% minority of the male workers there.

Ratio of female to male workers: 10 to 1. Well I suppose it would be every bachelor's dream come true in any workplace, but it would have done me much good if they were all not more than twice my age.

But the lovely part is this: on the first day of work itself, I got my own office! It turns out that the former manager moved out, so they had no place to put me but in there; where I have 3 whole shelves full of magazines since god-knows-when; possibly the entire archive of company records some three metres to my left; a neat little hp laptop to work on while the rest of them are stuck with run-down PCs that are still running on Windows XP; my own little box of stationery and various edible goodies in one corner of the room that is currently being colonized by the ants.

The thing is that this place also doubles as a storeroom for the PA department, so beyond where I sit, there are boxes of various goodies, and stashed somewhere in one of the cupboards is a genuine green jersey signed by Ronaldinho himself together with a gold wristwatch.

It does not get any better than this. Now if only they gave me some wi-fi in this place, my life would be complete =D

Cup full of sarcasm

It's the 6th day

And I'm still home alone!

What is wrong with the world?!! AHHHHHH!!

Well, according to elder sis, dad's confirmed coming back today, but the rest of them are going to be half here and half there, so they're not even sure if they want to come back and save me from eating out again or not.

But overall, I feel pretty proud of myself for surviving the past 6 days! Over the almostweek, I've learnt to:

1. COOK!
2. Clean up other people's mess. Pffpth, melancholy me coming up from within.
3. Sleep alone in an otherwise empty house. Well to be honest, I was just too freaking tired to do anything else but crash. But it counts okay!
4. Do my own laundry! I officially hate ironing clothes by the way. I need more clothes that require minimum ironing. Ish.
5. Do SOMETHING apart from being online for 6 hours straight in a single day.
6. Play cash flow!
7. I would've added something here but I'll kill myself before I let any of you know about it.
8. Read fast! I can read 1.8 times faster than the average human with the same comprehension rate. Heh heh heh.

I feel so accomplished =)

Well...

100 words
This was my score on the first try.

Come on, dare you to beat me. =P

Whoo!

iThink...

Therefore iCook.

If you remember some time ago, I attempted to put burger patties into bread instead of the burger bun.

Didn't turn out too well.

I had always been intrigued by cooking: How was it that those people in restaurants can cook with seemingly the same things i use to cook at home, and theirs always taste better?

When the mamak guy cooks Maggi Goreng, it always turns out well.

When I cook Maggi Goreng, it becomes a blackened lump of viscous, sticky... thing.

When Pastor Cheah cooks fish, the plate is licked clean.

When I cook fish... well actually i've never dared to try.

So about an hour ago I was in a dilemma: Order McDs, Order Nandos, or heat up last night's food?

McDs is not filling enough, Nandos demand that I order mroe than Rm25 worth before they're willing to deliver it over here, and last night's food... is, well, last night's food.

So inspired by a Nando's recipe, I decided to try my hand at making cheese-baked rice. No one's at home, so no one's gonna complain ahahaha.

After a lot of pots and pans and cackling oil later, my cheese-fried rice came out! Yeah, I know it was supposed to be cheese-baked rice, but the oven is so worn out that I don't know which knob is which anymore. I figured that frying is just as good as baking.

Well what to say... it came out much better than I expected it to! =D Apart from the overwhelming cheesiness (or is it supposed to taste like that?) it turned out to be a great meal! =)


I'm gonna cook again tomorrow! Ahaha run younglings run
Jo

Books!

Hohoho.






No one touches it until I finish it, first. =)



*Don't worry Muthusamy, God loves you =)
