Since I have not blogged for three days and everyone kept asking me for an update, so here it is. On Deepavali morning, I went for breakfast with my parents. They had this conversation in the car which I think is quite funny. Besides that, I was at home studying and doing my assignments the whole day. I know that is a boring life, but I cannot help it because I am doing this for my future.
The conversation goes like this. While my father was driving along the road, as it was raining heavily, my mother asked my father to slow the car down. Okay, if you want to know why I was not driving, it was because I felt like sleeping so I do not want to risk my life and my parent’s life. If I did we would “probably wake up in heaven”. That is Anne’s favourite quote when she sits my car.
Mummy : Don’t drive so fast, it is raining and the road is very slippery.
Daddy : Don’t disturb me, my driving is so good nothing will happen.
Mummy : Joey, see your daddy so "hao lian" again.
Daddy : I can drive in this condition even if I close my eyes.
On Friday, I was at school practically the whole day from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm. The best part of the day was the trip to the Tuas South Incinerator Plant. The journey there was pretty long and I was fasting on that day so my stomach was not too happy. Anyway, I am sure God will be glad that I fasted although someone from church called me to go for lunch with him.
On another note, I actually ate one Famous Amos cookie when my friend offered it to me. It was so tempting that I practically forgotten that I was fasting until I digested the cookie. It was Wally Amos's fault for making such delicious cookies, but it was my fault actually so I am confessing here. It is only one but it matters. The bus journey was made worst when my friends took out their big Famous Amos cookie bag and Pepperridge cookies. I felt like breaking my fast early but I closed my eyes and prayed instead. Okay, you can go and imagine the rest since it is so saddening.
Agony was over when the bus reached our destination. Well, agony for my stomach only I guess, because my nose suffered a lot after I entered the incinerator. The smell there was not as bad as I expected because there is a suction to prevent the odour from coming out so fast. Still, my nose suffered, and my stomach was still suffering because it was not yet time to break fast. Whatever it is, I endured till five plus before eating the doughnuts I bought from my school. It was great stuff, and I took a lot of pictures in the incinerator which I will post on my blog when I am free.
