microwave disaster

thursday

wanted to heat up kenny rogers famous corn muffins.
placed microwave safe container inside.
2mins later when i sneak a peek, the container had become flower shaped.

after reading instruction manual for 100th time, came to a conclusion (cause there's no definite answer stated) that only "reheat" can use microwave safe container.
what the hell is the purpose of a manual?!?!

*aaarrrggggghhhh*



friday

wanted to heat up cinnamon rolls from Provence.
placed microwave safe container inside.

"reheat"

2mins later.

*sniff sniff*
HOLY COOOOOW!!! microwave is giving out thick choking chao dah fumes!!!!!

opened door and saw a black roll instead. very soon i was engulfed in smoke. had to opened up all windows and blast the fan in max speed.

half hour later(in fact till now) and the whole house still smelled the same.

tried to make things better by spraying lemon grass room spray.
and it smelled like chao dah lemon grass.

luckily no neighbour call fire brigade.

*AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHH*



no wonder this week didn't have much "feeling" to cook.
if not it won't be just the container and roll that have gone to waste.

and the need to vacuum/ mop the whole place every other day cause it's so so so freaking dusty! it's that dusty that dust balls are rolling all over the place!!! plus it doesn't help with my hair fall.

cement on my feet

feel stuck-ed again.

feel that i'm always in the same spot.
never moving forward.

some are climbing the corporate ladder so quickly.
some are building their empire with their burning passion.
some are buying what they want (fine! what i want. im green).
some are hitting the five yrs mark in a couple more months.
some are preggie and/or having their new born.
some are holding their dinner. in fact so many in oct!!

i dun have any passion or skills or talents!
it has been coffee tea ever since i got out of school, which means 6yrs already!

shop is not doing any better.
almost every other week catch a rat or a thief.
if not will be sales doing a dip and drop pattern.
and it's not making any decent profit.
in fact, i'm eating myself out.

doesn't help with all those house loan. reno loan.
all kind of loans and bills are draining me.


think im just feeling crappy coz stupid rumbling tummy have been bothering me since monday. plus falling sick contirbutes to the emotions. =(


i need a cake and B&J ice cream.
blah.

frugal... i try

guilty as charged!

first time was when i bought those white bread from the neighbourhood bakery. i put it in a airtight container, thinking that it might be able to last longer.
the next day a heavy scent of sourness engulfed me when i opened up the container. which means i have to throw it away. =(

then come the strawberry story. 2 punnets was going for $10. the auntie instinct kicked in. "cheap cheap! can buy!!"

went back home and diced up one punnet so as to save time should i want to eat it the next few days.
3days later, a tiny dose of weird scent greet me whenever i opened the fridge door.
i hate smells. i opened up all the containers and found the culprit to be the diced and moudling berries.


aaaarrrggghhhh!!! this is damm irritating!!
