Ohh Gawddd!!!!!

I am so bored. If someone had told me a little while ago, that taking a vacation for, my oh so very stressful job, would be this boring (Yawns…), I would have laughed and then... Probably said a few choice words indicating my displeasure.

But that doesn’t mean I am being a bitch….

Really, I would handle it like a lady mostly.

I do not lose my cool very often.

OK!! I snort at myself…

Right, I can be a bitch at times. Mostly at due dates of my projects… which are many times…. all at once.

However, in my defense, all humans are the same at a fundamental level. Stressful situation makes us irrational and crazy. Really CRAZY!!!

Still I am the epitome of pureness, kindness, and all the all kinds of adjectives with suffix ‘…ness’. If I were an anime character, I could just see my eyes glittering with sparkles just like Shin chan’s baby sister. You could practically see my godliness shining from the bottom of my heart and soul.

OK! I snort at myself again…

Right… Oh Gawdd, I need to find something to pass time. What to do? What to do? Maybe I should ask someone.

Hmmm... But who?

Harry? Uhh Na…. Too Intense

Gary? Hmm... No… Too Carefree

Erika? Hmm… Maybe… However, I know what she will suggest. I chuckled remembering my conversation with her yesterday. Apart from her busy schedule of work, she volunteers in animal shelter. In addition, nowadays she volunteers taking care of Dawn’s shelter… uhh… I mean me. And she would snitch to Mum about me.

People are babying me as if I am a ticking time bomb, waiting to blast. Which is not bad in fact. Just a week ago with I broke down in front of Mom.

I been spoiled like a lady with a silver spoon… or maybe with melted chocolate with cheese balls. Which taste good... I wipe my mouth off drool.

Let’s see my freezer… I went to the kitchen, passing through my living room. Danny stood in front of the television. Switching… uhh… switching channels… I think??!! I stopped in my tracks and back traced my steps. I peeked from the hallway. Hmm he was switching channels. Did I leave my tele on? I thought… hmm… Maybe… I mean… How can Danny turn on tele?

I smack myself on my forehead…. My head is clearly not right… Danny turned to look at me and barks once. “Hey Boy,” I patted his head, “Whatca doing?” Danny turned away to look at the tele and again turned back to me, giving another happy bark.

I looked up to the screen and saw the movie ‘Cats and Dogs’ on. “OH, Great choice”, I smiled and patted Danny, “Feeling Hungry?”

I walked to the kitchen and picked up the new dog food pack that I bought yesterday, from the cupboards. Cutting open the pack, I put generous amount of food in Danny’s plate and carried to outside to Danny. He now settled at distance from the tele, intently watching the movie with his tail thumping. I walked to him and laid his food in front of him.

He still was watching tele. I scoffed and walked away, “Teenagers, nowadays! No respect for their parents…”

At that time, my stomach choose to growl. Hmm… What to cook? What to cook...?

I rampaged through the kitchen stock.

Mutton…

Beef…

Veggies…

Chicken…

Hmm, I have some chicken left. I should probably use it before it goes bad.

Let’s see…

I think on what I feel like eating. My Mum always says that if you eat what you want depending on your mood you will have a hearty meal and feel satisfied always.

Like when you are feeling down, you crave Ganache-Topped Chocolate Cake…

Like when you feel sad and want to cry, you desperately need Banana Split Ice cream Sundae…

Like when you want to celebrate something, you feel like having spagatti noodles with red wine…

Hmm… I feel like making something simple yet filling…. But with chicken… No, Spicy chicken Curry….

You know something that would perfectly complement my chicken…

Roti…

Nan…

Or Maybe Butter Nan…

Or Rice… Curry is best with rice…

Nahh, Something mild would be better for breakfast…

Suddenly, it clicked. I rampaged through the cupboard again to see, if I have the ingredient to make, what I just thought of.

Where is it? Where are you...? I shut one cupboard and moved to next to search it…

Don’t be scared… Come to Mommy….

“Ah HA, Got it!” I exclaimed and lifted it up to see…

So Ladies & Gentleman, the secret ingredient is Coconut …

I lift it up like a trophy and then bowed to my audience, for their support in the search of my Precious….

I stood back up and giggled. I can be a dork sometimes. Or well, maybe most of the times. I turned back to find Danny at doorway, staring with his insightful gaze. Indicating from the reflective darkest depths of his eyes, I realized how stupid I looked from his point of view.

“Oh, shut up!” I mumbled, “You know that I am your mum & not the other way around, right?”

Danny rolled his eyes the exact same way I do when my mum does something silly. Well, shows that he is MY son… Shocks the hell out of my family, though…

After an tantalizing, energizing meal:

I finally worn out by boredom and my urge to talk to someone, intensified. So I called someone, I knew would give me advice I might consider.

Plus who won’t be Too Intense (Like Harry).

Plus who won’t be Too Carefree (Like Gary).

Plus who won’t snitch to Mum or Tease me (Like Erika).

And Luckily, that person was calling me on my mobile right now.
