WORST luck in the world

I officially have the worst luck in the world. today.
Due to graduate, lastest last paper, and i have to wake up LATE.
GODDAMNIT @!*(&#
Not 10 mins, not 30 mins, not even 1 hr late, but 1 HR 20 MINS late. what the fuck am i doing. I couldn't hear all 3 alarms from my phone.

Truly desperate (you can't understand the extent of my desperation), i went straight to look for my very nice professor, who thankfully managed to help me sit for the paper, which thankfully again noone has already left. But i only had 45 mins to do it. bloody hell. BUT better than nothing. It is the fastest record time i have finished a paper. hooray to me. -_-

I thank you with all my heart Prof David Chew and Prof Lum Kit Meng who have had the compassion to shed me some light in my darkest hours.

Then i had to lose my hostel key...

....

Zzzz...

Seriously, this is how i have come to take life and things not so seriously. i.e. relac lah. You never know what life throws your way. You plan, you schedule, you study, you try your best. In the end what happens? you wake up late.

With all my mishaps it's a wonder i didn't become some hyperventilating paranoid freak.

whatever. i can't be bothered anymore. i will one day find my own piece of heaven.

Carrots

The carrot has got to be one of the most misunderstood and unappreciated vegetables in the world. STOP abusing carrots all you cooks! More often than not the carrot is merely used as a garnish or to add COLOUR to the dish, likely a mixed vegetable dish or smth of the sort.. and it is often tasteless. Because, according to my mom, they BOIL it in water before cutting it up into shreds or insignificant slices and cooking it with the 'mains'. the horror!!

Carrots are in fact very sweet tasting, aromatic, and yummy! ok i actually found that out during my stay in Norway, where we had very limited ingredients to work with. The humble carrot was part of my main staple - the porridge. Boiled together with the porridge, chopped up chunks of carrots add sweetness and are really a joy to eat! It tastes really good with meat stews too, or even just mashed up on its own.

Alright i know this post is a bit weird. hahah. BUT i still want to take this chance to stand up for the neglected vegetable that no one takes a second look at. Remember, the carrot is so much more than a garnish!
