Pretence gives you room to get round obstacles without touching them, the space to observe that there are other sides to people, not just the abrasive, challenging attitude that you can't cope with."He always thought that there was something enthralling around the next corner but couldn't be bothered to make it far enough to find out"- Jess from The Language of Others.Perhaps the past is comfortable because you know what happened. The uncertainty of the future makes it more alarming.That's the way most people are- sometimes okay,sometimes not.I fear chicken pox and my inconsiderate brother decided to move back home- and spread the virus to me. I had a vaccination and was called silly because they say the jab don't really work.If you're gonna get it, you'll get it. They said.Urgh!I escaped to my granny's house @ Kallang and she was more than delighted to receive me with open arms ( I exaggerated). Nonetheless, she was happy.
My Granny's house has no computer, no Internet access, no SCV. I died. A stay there revealed my over-dependence on technology. I used to live with my Granny, ever since I was a child. At the age of 12, my mum decided to want me back( to her utter horror). Since then, I'll visit my granny once a week or so. These 2 years was exceptional. A'levels were of course, more important than my Granny ( I hear protests). and I think she misses me a lot.HAHAHA.I was determined not to allow the lack of access to Technology crumple my life. So I volunteered to help my Granny make Ngoh Hiang. Basically, it's minced meat wrapped in bean curd skin.In fact, it's more than minced meat. The filling consists of prawns, chestnut, minced meat, shallots, grated carrot, spring onions and mushroom. The bead curd skin is cleaned and you just have to wrap the fillings with the skin like a popiah!I've completed reading The Language of Others.alrites, got to meet up with the girls! Celebrating TJ's birthday today!
