DOUGH DISASTER



Can you believe this - we're having a class on Saturday! After 4 years, I still have those nagging regrets of taking a law course in college. Courts don't open on weekends, do they?

I came early to class today because I couldn't sleep the whole night. My nightmares are killing me night by night. If you discover my lifeless body in the bath tub, please give me a proper burial. Some of the students arrived late because they were still sleepy. The lecturer came the latest; she totally forgot she had arranged a class on Saturday. I knew we should have dispersed by the second hour so that the lecturer would think class was cancelled that day or that she had made a mistake by the time she comes in.

Met Maria in the campus main cafeteria looking damn fresh and pretty. She's a sight for sore eyes - especially eyes that have been poring over law textbooks and project papers and staring at ugly old lecturers for months. Even though we have clashed since last January, I still find her cute and attractive. I suppose I can't help falling for her everytime I see her.


Maria feigned a frown when she saw me. "You're not going to ask me hack someone else's account again, are you?"

I just wanted to have a chat with her as a friend. Is that so wrong? Maybe I should just MiRC her instead.

We had a brief chat. Seems she's still available...

Maria wondered if I am currently seeing a guy. That baffles me: why is it that everyone seems to think I'm gay?

Before she left, Maria told me that she had read my blog and that it sucks.

She's been reading my blog? Oh yeah, I totally forgot that she was the one who hacked into my account and blocked me from my own blog after we broke up. Now I find that not only I suck at being a boyfriend, I also suck at being a blogger.

Two news items are just in today: first, BN announced Solid Waste Management & Public Cleaning Corporation human resources director Mr. Ismail Safian and Deputy Kedah MIC chief Datuk S. Ganesan as candidates for the parliamentary seat in Bukit Gantang and state seat in Bukit Selambau respectively. Second, a Mr. Ragunath Kesavan has been elected as the new Bar Council president. Ragunath Kesavan was elected as the new president of the Malaysian Bar Council for the 2009/2010 term.

Hopefully, everyone will do their best in their new position.

I was thinking of having home-made pancakes after I got back from class. Instead of buying myself a box of instant pancake mix off the shelf, I tried to concoct my own batter. Soon I find that not only I suck at being a boyfriend and blogger, I also suck at making pancakes.

I don't where know I went wrong. The batter became stiff and gluey. I added in more flour and salt into the mix but it turned out into some kind of clay-like substance. Ladies and gentleman, Amel Hanan has discovered Clay-Doh. After several failed attempts at making my own pancakes, I gave up and made some miniature animals out of the dough instead. I thought maybe I could give Princess Fatin and Ferhad the miniature animals to play with the next time I meet them.

I made a dough cat, a dough bird, a dough frog, a dough elephant, a dough snake and a pair of dough jeans (...wait, that's not an animal). I don't have a microwave at my apartment, so I put my dough pieces on a tray and left it at the balcony to dry.

5 minutes later, I went back to the balcony to check out my dough masterpieces. Strangely, the dough animals had vanished mysteriously from the tray. Okay, so I got spooked out by that... but logic told me that the dough animals couldn't have come to life and walked away from my apartment. I would have seen them racing towards the door.

After searching around I discovered a chewed off dough cat behind an empty vase (I was going to conduct another black rose experiment with it). There were animal scratches and bite marks all over the dough cat. Somehow, I had a good hunch who and what was behind the disappearance of my dough animals.

My guess was right. A couple of hours later, Faizal complained his cat Halia had thrown up on the floor after eating something nasty that it found outside his apartment unit. Faizal went through an ordeal dealing with Halia and cleaning up the room. "It was terrible. I used lots of soap to take that thing off the carpet, but it stuck there like gum. What kind of animal that sticks hard after it's dead?"

Halia is an example of how stupid cats can be.



"GINGER" BY ANNA TSUCHIYA & MONKEY MAJIK is playing in my mind today.
