So what happened over the last couple of days?
My sister, two dogs and I are still alive. We didn’t gas ourselve in our sleep. The two dogs are very sick of eating just dry food though. They’re missing (I am too) my mum’s very delicious Cantonese soup. Yes, I think my dogs eat better than some people! See, my mum makes soup if I’m home for dinner ‘cos I’m the only one in the family who likes drinking soup. And for that, my dogs benefit too. They get to eat the ingredients that were used to boil the soup. We usually add the ingredients like carrots, potatoes, winter melon, chicken, pork ribs etc to their dry food.
Having gotten used to such delicious fare, they haven’t been taking well to just having dry food for dinner. But hunger and survival prevail after all, so when they see that they don’t have a choice, they just eat it. Probably very grudgingly. But hey, it’s not like I’m having fantastic food either.
The plants are still alive. No wilting leaves or rotting roots. The clothes have been washed regulary and hung to dry. The floor’s been wiped. My sis also whipped up lunch and dinner yesterday while I was out dragonboating. We split the chores–she does the cooking and I the laundry, floor and dogs.
Other happenings: Went to Bebel Gilberto’s concert on Thursday night. Her vocals are akin to warm, silken honey. But it wasn’t a fantastic concert. Thank goodness I bought one of the cheaper tickets! Go to my friend’s blog to read a review of it.
I got a parking fine on Saturday. Dammit. Those parking wardens are so vigilant and always on the prowl. I parked at the National Stadium carpark and had forgotten to put parking coupons before leaving the car. Yes, I had truly forgotten! When I remembered that I had forgotten to put coupons, I was already in the dragonboat. Couldn’t possibly get the whole boat to row back for me to put coupons! It was raining and I was hoping (against hope) that the wardens might have been put off by the rain. They’re like flies you’re unable to swipe off I tell you.
So anyway, that’s me. Still alive. And yes, my mummy and daddy are coming back today!
