Its 7.04 am, here I am, stood still in my kitchen drinking my apple carrot juice and eating my controversial cookies. Well to my expectation my cookies were good. Oatmeal and raisins were not my favorite choice but, I made use of ingredients that I have. Listening to Cat Empire, always leads me to a head start. Munching my cookies, and I know that I’m supposed to be fasting today, and meaning I cant eat anything at all till 6.30 pm. Well, my head still hurt so I decide to take “asprin”, I’m on “fasting holiday today”, weeeeeee….. Don’t question why I’m awake at this hour. Consequences of too much “panadols”, and too much sleep I supposed.
The cookie tragedy,
Well supposed that everybody reading knows how clumsy I can be and I’ll do anything, absolutely anything to keep myself occupied. Yesterday was my day. Sunday is usually the time I wake up late after a “big nite out” or in this case, another whole day of boredom. Sunday is also the day where by I’ll stay in my bed, and watched soaps or “try” to clean my room. But this Sunday, is different. I woke up a bit early than usual, took a shower, clean my room, and then I ponder what am I supposed to do next. It’s a miracle isn’t? All mothers wish that their daughter would wake up early on a Sunday morning, and started cleaning. Wow that is one in a million Sunday for me.
In my towels, I sat on my bed and began to imagine, I do admit that I have a pretty wild imagination. Hmm, I told myself, what so else should I do today? Small voice in my head rang me, why don’t you be Rockstar? Yup, that is exactly what I did, dancing around in my towels to Wolfmother- Joker and the Thief, then moves on to Fergie-London Bridge. Wow, I like to dance even though I know I couldn’t. Visualizing that I have a guitar in my hand and bowing to the crowds, and miming to songs after songs, felt like you in a Foo Fighters band. Moving on to Justin Timberlake – SexyBack, felt like sexy and bitchy and you’re a slut kindda thing. But most relaxing one was my Cat Empire, and The Joker, by Steve Miller Band, now that’s comforting. You see, if anybody ought to see me from outside, they would probably think I’m going nuts. I don’t really care actually, even my friends considers me as “weirdo” or “unique”. Well thy both meant the same thing but I prefer the second one, I’m simply unique.
By the time I’m done dancing, I was already tired, coz yesterday I was fasting, thirsty and exhausted, I laid myself on my bed. Beside the fact that dancing had also made my hair dry so I don’t have to worry bout not getting my sheets wet. I look at the window and I saw how beautiful the sky was. Suddenly, Champy my housemate walk in on me. Huh, thank God she’s a woman. She was asking stapler or something like that, and then she left. I stare again at the sky from my window, then Pali my other housemate walk in on me, asking for something else. Gosh, I can’t get any privacy anymore, can’t I? I decided to wake up and get dressed, couple minutes later, my friend came over. By then I had decided to go make myself cookies.
I’m not a “Baking Freak”, or whatever but I just feel released when baking or even cooking for that matter. The time for myself without anybody watching over, and doing things how I wanted to do it, makes me feel good. I’ll cut my veggies slanting, horizontal, or even vertical for that matter. And I put whatever I want in my dish. It’s like making art, even better when it is eatable. I’m not a good cook, but I do feel appreciated when my friends wallop everything I cooked. Love shoving stuff into them, it’s an awesome feeling.
My cookies were made out of oatmeal, raisins, butter, brown sugar, white sugar, some flour, pinch of salt, and a couple drops of vanilla essence. Don’t ask me the measurements, coz I don’t really measure this time. I just simply chuck them in the bowl and start stirring. Well the first batch of cookies turn out great. It was golden brown and shiny and all, and smelling good. After the second one, Burney’s friends came in, they were all guys, so I decide to put my cookies in the oven, and go upstairs. I don’t know them and I refused to be friendly with them caused I don’t understand them. So leave it that way.
Doing my thing in my room I realized that I forgotten my cookies, I ran down stairs, slipped, fell splat on the floor, I went blank for awhile. Pali and Burney were very helpful, she at least try to make me wake up, and I just sat there leaning at the kitchen cabinet, trying to figure out which part of my body had hurt. Everything seems so numb I didn’t scream or cried I was just blurred. When my pal came rushing down, I was just simply laughing at myself, I actually have no words to describe my pain. They got me a bag of peas to put on my face. The frozen peas didn’t do much help to ease the pain; in fact it just stuck there. Like your tongue glued to ice. Then I found out that my knee really hurts, and my face is uneven, beside the fact that the fall gave me a blue blusher. I suffer from a minor head concussion, but thankfully I recovered. Then I asked myself a couple of questions that only I knew the answer, well I’m good, I’ll be alright. My head still goes “gedding!!” but I’m sure I’ll be fine. I was not glad of baking cookies. Not yesterday at least.
After awhile, I couldn’t bare the pain so I took panadols, and I cooked my meal, I ate, and I took some more panadols. I didn’t even finish my food, and I was fasting. Well we were supposed to watched Grey’s Anatomy, she did but I slept thru it. When I woke up I realized she’s gone and it was about midnight, I took a shower, and more panadols, and went back to bed. My head hurts like crazy when I wake up, and I just realized I had an extra cheek bone and a more noticeable blue blusher. I wonder how I’m supposed to deal with it today in Uni.
Now that is simply unique aint’it?…
