today, i was washing my hands in the library's toilet... and i pressed on the tap... and it didn't budge. no water came out. so i pressed, pressed again, pressed harder! but it still refuses to budge -___- i was thinking "eh is the tap stuck? is it spoiled? should i move to the next tap?" and just as i was about to move i saw this woman washing at the other end of the row of sinks. and suddenly realised: oh. the tap needs to be turned, not pressed -___-
so i was like omgomgomg DUMB!! and hanging my head and going after the soap. and the soap box refused to budge either when i pressed it! i went totally o.O! then i saw this small rectangular hole and thought "hmm maybe the button fell out. let's be smart and press there" but still nothing happened. and by then the woman had already finished scrubbing every nook and cranny of her hand. i was like AARRGGH can't be this one's spoiled. so i bent down to take a look. and realised you're supposed to pull a lever towards you to get the soap out T.T
not to mention i fell off my bike today, lost my way to the duwo office, and crashed into another bike on the way back
ultimate suayness!!

haiz... i'm like this walking tragedy. remember my heavenly chicken soup yesterday? well i had some left, so this morning i happily heated it up and poured it into my beautiful thermos so i can drink it during lunch. my bag was already bursting with my 900 page textbook, notebook, pencil case and water bottle, so i put it together with my lunchbox into a popular plastic bag and skipped merrily off to get my bike. ok no wait. edit: i rushed hurriedly down to get my bike, cos i was running late >< hung my plastic bag on one handlebar and my laptop bag onto the other bar and whizzed off!
since i was running late, i took a shortcut, which was a gravel path that twists and turns a bit. and due to the uneven loading on my bike handles, a moment was produced in the clockwise direction about pivot point P... and i almost crashed into a tree o.O had to swerve madly like 4 times before i got my balance back. and i was like OMG malu!! cos everyone else were cycling breezily past me in a straight line. and that's when i realised one of the plastic bag's handles had snapped. but since i was still lamenting over my face-throwing, i didn't really bothered about it.
ok... so i got onto the proper bike track and everything went smooth and well, except for the fact that i'm running even later. and i was almost reaching my faculty already. i was like YES I'M REACHING! when suddenly my left bike handlebar was released of it's load and there was a loud THWACK on the ground. no prizes for guessing but yeah, the whole plastic bag snapped -___- and there was my thermos and lunchbox in the middle of the road and SOMEONE ALMOST CYCLED OVER IT! i was like OMG ultimate malu! so parked my bike, picked the stuff up and somehow managed to stuff them into my bag. and rushed off, cos i was blocking half the track
and i was late for lecture T.T
BUT
that's not the end of the story.
when i took out my notebook and pencil case to start taking notes, i caught a whiff of my heavenly chicken soup. i was like hmm how come my pencil case smells like my soup? OH CRAP! and i took out my thermos and instead of hearing sloshing i heard this clinking and there you have it, the vacuum layer's totally shattered T.T and the bottom of my notebook was wet! and so was my 900 page textbook! that cost me a bomb! maybe even 2 bombs! waaaaaaargh.... tragedy!!!
so while the lecturer was going on about thermodynamics, i was crying over my thermo flask T.T
and now my textbook is on my heater, which is turned to full blast (which isn't very warm at all). the only positive thing is at least my textbook smells nice now T.T

ok i dunno what overcame me yesterday, but i bought this whole chicken at the market. WHOLE chicken. you know with all the wings and legs attached. ok i wanted to make chicken soup, and supermarkets don't really have chicken with bones and i need the bones for the soup. but still!!! why oh why was i crazy enough to buy a whole chicken? then just now i took it out of the fridge and stared at it, not sure how am i supposed to magically transform the chicken-shaped mass of meat and bones into the normal chicken chunks we see in soup.
in the end, armed with a pathetic looking knife, i began to tackle the chicken. haiz... you know usually hawkers or your mum uses the huge 菜刀 to chop up the chicken. but i only have the medium sized one for veggies and fruits! T.T and i dunno where to begin! so i went for the obvious parts i.e. all the bits sticking out. took quite awhile cutting down the wings and drumsticks! and bones are so hard! but found out if i chop at the joints it's easier XD
right... after i finally got the 4 bits off, i like "ok, NOW what?" how are you supposed to know where to hack first?! and neither chicken nor knife were coorperating very well. in the end i had the break the bones by hand and then slice up the meat into reasonable looking pieces, which i promptly dumped into the pot.
ohohoh i hear the heavenly sound of my pressure cooker going off! which means the soup is done! ahh!!! self cooked chicken soup! haha i'm so proud of myself XDXD
wait. i put salt right?
