Sad French toast story

Today, I woke up excitedly to have French toast for breakfast. Frankly speaking, I would say I did passed on my French toast. Made my first French toast when I was 12 during camping. While studying here once and also in Krabi once for breakfast. It is a very simple recipe with just eggs, sugar, some water and of course bread.

Cracked 2 eggs, added a tsp of 'salt' and whipped them up. The first piece of French toast tasted salty. I was wondering if I added not enough sugar. Then looking down at the beaten eggs, they looked weird (as in slimy and watery) so I threw them away. Made another batch and this time I added a tbsp of 'sugar' and it turns up very salty. I was wondering why because it tasted as if I added light soy sauce in it. It was then that I realised that I have added salt instead of sugar. FML!

Told Popo this and she laughed at me. How can I not differentiate sugar and salt!!! Such a disappointment. My French toast was good after 4 eggs being wasted. 😒 And I have also finished a week worth of eggs. Job well done!

I guess there's no miracle. My laptop stlll cannot switch on.  Miracles do only happens in fairytales. 😭 I was actually more productive without laptop. Finished my revision for my upcoming quiz this weekend and also got to iron out all my clothes. 👍

Nothing much actually. Just want to pen my embarrassing story down so I can laugh later in the future. 😂😂😂

Night!

Strong, Independent Lady

I have always pride myself to think that I am a strong, independent and tough lady. But there are times that I feel so weak and helpless. Time like these. Last week, the toilet bowl in the house, by that I meant in KL seems to cannot flush properly. No matter how I tried pouring in a pail of water or constantly flush, nothing works. It was on Wednesday when the service man came for the aircon and his worker went and use the toilet. For a moment, I was in panicked as the toilet bowl has remained in that condition for about 5 days. To my surprise later, the toilet bowl is clear again. Kudos to him and his magical talent.

And today, my laptop of 4 years decided to shut itself down completely. I just do not know what to do. Should I send for repair? But then I still need to buy a new one as I need a laptop to work with while this one is on repair. What laptop should I get? I am really considering desktop as I don't carry around the laptop much. It seems destop are more tough and low maintance. This loptop had gone fot repair once and a change in battery one. The main reason why I am considering desktop is for the fact that my laptop is switch on most of the days. Like 15 hours dauly. And also for the past 4 years, my laptop is always in the room, specifically on the table. For presentations there would always be someone who is willingly to bring theirs.

I feel so helpless and frustrated. At this moment, I wished I have a boyfriend that can at least offer some advise or something. I would need to start doing my research on the laptop that I need to buy. It cannot be delay anymore as it seems like the laptop can just go haywire anytime. I cannot put my lab reports and assignments in jeopardise.

Always in comparison, I am always the fat and not pretty one. I guess I do think myself as that too. Not that I want to be pretty or such but how hard it is to find a boyfriend. I am not complaining and not that I want one now. I always feels that when the time is right and when I need the right one, it will comes. As for now, I don't have the time to be in a relationship which needs commitments. Not with lab reports, assigments and revisions, I have barely time for myself already.

I actually feel better putting all these in words. I can see myself waking up tomorrow morning, carrying my laptop to Low Yatt Plaza for service alone. But please let luck on my side. May the laptop be magically switch on and function normally again by tomorrow morning.

It has been so long that I have an entry up. There are lots of things that I would like to put in words but like usual, I do not have the time. Since I am already here today, I shall make a note to my future self to update the blog.

First, I want to write an entry on my sem break (Dec & Jan). And also put up some CNY pictures. CNY this year was a good one as I get to spent about a week with family during CNY. Usually at the 3rd or 4th day of CNY I would have to rush back to college.

Also on CNY, this year Mum does not buy cookies at all. Her 3 daughter baked them! I baked quite a few cookies. Well some turned out to be nice while some ended up in the dustbin. I would really like to share the recipe on the blog so next year, I got reference to make them again.

2nd, I just want to say that my mousy is already ready for university life. I feel very honoured that she actually asked for my advise on what course she should be taking. To me, she seems very serious about her future. I actually never see her that serious before. I cannot offer much advise as I somehow felt I cannot and do not want to make such an important decision for her. She would resent me one day if she regrets it. I can only offer my advise. But then I git frustrated when she said she's afraid that the course would be hard. Hello la! Nothing comes easy. Pharmacy is also hard in my opinion. And who am I to say Law course or Accounting courses are easier?

A jump from that. This semester is still somehow much tougher than the last. I ekt like I was suddenly being thrown with all the medicine names and medical terms all at one. In simple understanding, last sem was like teaching us on the ingredients to bake and this sem, they are expecting me to bake up a tiramissu.

Yes, I am having a difficult time coping but I trust myself that if I spend more time on revision, I can manage it. Problem is, I hate revision! 😭 Out of one hour I spend on revision, the 40 minutes is on me doing other things. 😒 One thing that I realised is that I start to take this profession seriously. I cannot dispense wrong medication to my patients as it may cost one's life. This is not just a pharmacist you see sitting behind a counter at a pharmacy selling you drugs. We are actually more focused and trained to be a clinical pharmacy in hospitals. So technically speaking, we will working alongside with doctors, nurses and other health medical personnel.

For the past 2 weeks, I am enjoying my home cooked food. Have been cooking fried chicken which is really delicious and also sunny side up. I would like to take the challenge to try on fried rice but I yet to find the guts to do so.

Finals is actually coming up in 4 weeks time and I am already looking forward for the holidays. Plan in taking up some gardening skills this time as well as cooking and baking. I long to see baby rabbits hopping around the house but so far I think I will left that for the later part.

I think I have just summarise everything that is going on in my life in just 13 paragraphs. That was fast and short. Let's just pray for miracle that my laptop will function normally by tomorrow morning.

I will edit this entry once I have the time. I wanted to put video on SKII campaign on leftover women. It is what happen in a society particularly Asians when unmarried women that reached a certain age to be considered leftover. I can say, I am always being said to be a leftover one day. Yes, I dreamed for a husband and lovely children but who can see the future? I do know that if by certain age I am still not married or found the right one, I am considering adopting. There is this one beautiful picture that a white lady adopt a black kid. To those felt offense with twh word black, I'm sorry. I don't remember who posted it and I cannot find the pictures again. Hope by the time I edit this entry, I found the photo.

When you know female population are much larger than male, do realised that there will be females that will be left out. This is after considering lesbians and gays. So it's either me or you. Unless you much rather shared your husband. Oh, what am I crapping? I should stop here. Tiem to pull the blanket up and sleep. Good night.

Thank for dropping by!
With love,
Karen
