Alright! Let's start of with a question. Would you go 1 week without water, or 1 month without internet?
Why the question? That's because recently I've had renovations done to my kitchen. Clearing out the kitchen, having it knocked down and building everything back up. It's now very nice and pristine. Just the way I like it.
And tada!! New kitchen. We've had this new kitchen for almost 2 weeks or so now, and I still rather like the design. Opening the doors are fun!
Here's a closer picture of the kitchen when everything was knocked down. How spacious.
When the removalists came in to knock down the place, they were very careless. They dropped the whole friggin cabinet onto the stove. If it wasn't for my dad who was supervising them at the time, the whole thing would have landed smack bang in the middle of the stove and cracked the whole thing. The cabinet still fell down, but it was pushed away in time and landed on the stove knob. The small thing shattered into pieces @__@!!! My parents were too nice (or silly) to ask them to reimburse one. Now we're still looking out for a similar stove knob.
Anyways, just below, here's the old stove. Looks very old and tacky aye? Cockroaches used to crawl in that grid area just below the table top. (Oh, and notice how we had 4 knobs before)
And here's the new stove. Very modern.
Looks so much more classier too. We have still yet to use it though. lol. Let's hope it works XD
Anyways, regarding the question I asked in the beginning. I would go for 1 month without internet rather than 1 week without water. It's funny how we take water for granted. When our hands get dirty (like cleaning the rubble, and moving furniture around) we wash our hands; when we become sweaty after a long day, we shower; when we're thirsty, we drink water, etc etc etc.......
That other thing stupid mistake I did was pretty much wrongly filling in a form, and having to drive out to many places to find another form in a super short period of time. Next time I do pick up a form, I'll definitely keep in mind to grab two or so. Just in case.
Okay... and a while ago I said I was learning how to drive a manual car. I haven't drove it for a while now, but I'll say that I was learning it so I could potential drive a manual van. The manual van was for a potential school photographer job. But now I've said no to the job.
But I've spent $270 on lessons. Should I continue with what I've learnt and buy a manual car? I feel safer driving an automatic car though. Much less to control and remember.
Sometimes I make the most stupidest of decisions.......*sigh*
At the post office today I waited in a long line to book for a passport interview. When I got to the counter, the counter staff said a booking just opened at 11:30 due to a cancellation. The time was 10:15, and I didn't want to wait that long, so I said no, because I could go to another post office and hopefully there would be one earlier. Took the post office phone number anyway, just in case I changed my mind, and then walked around the area to do some other tasks. After the tasks were completed, the time was 11:05. I went back to the post office hoping the interview booking would still be open. The booking was taken during the time that it took to decide whether I should wait that long or not. Do'H!! Next available booking was 3:00.
You see, what I should have done is booked the interview at 11:30, and if I decided to go to another place, I could have just called the post office and canceled it.
aya.........
There's one more stupid thing I did today, but I'll explain it another day.
You can never escape the gloriness of fried chips!!! My friend, let me present to you, the friermon:
NEW! FRESH FAST FRIES. Fried in 90 seconds~!!!!!!! At a low low cost of $2.50 (if i remember correctly). This machine was found outside the skate board monster stadium rink in Olympic Park. WOW. And funny how they relate skater boy to chip eaters. lol.
It's an interesting concept, though, I'm not to sure if it'll catch on anytime soon. It promotes the idea of easy-to-go chips, but from a first time buyer perspective, there is skepticism, as it doesn't show any promise into the quality or freshness of the product. I personally like mine made by a person, but I can imagine this concept widely done in say, asian countries. Has anyone tried these chips?
Just in addition, I read this article in the MX that states why there is an enticing aroma to fried chips comes. It comes from the make up of different scents such as butterscotch, onions, hints of cocoa, cheese, flowers, and get this, ironing boards!
Anyways, moving along, I went past ANZ stadium, and had to do this, you know, just to piss the aussies off a little :P
Now sanity! Return!
