1.Get house 2. Volunteer with production 3. Volunteer with women’s home visitation program 4. Get part time job which pays for Sydney 5.Organize trip to Sydney 6.Apply for real internship after graduation 7. Organize trip to Africa
Note to self: Thats called an overload. That’s called decidophobia, coupled with paramount fear of ending school indefinitely by the end of July. The last school term of your life, possibly.

Gotta love Chinese New Year. When else will you find reason to prepare (and eat!) tediously sumptuous food, find a coincidental optimistic infectious joyanticipationenergy as you jostle them crowds- who cares if it were misplaced? When else will your mother revel in her traditional maternal side; dressing those pussy willows, cleaning out that store room, baking that kueh lapis? This curious combination of tradition, commercial politik, nostalgia and perfunctory exchange, gotta love it- if not always, at least once a year.

Bad for health.
Which is whatever he doesn’t like to eat. Frequently antithetical to the literal application. “Eat the watercress in the soup” Mum says. “Nope. Bad for health.”
Smelly,
Whenever he doesn’t think something is cool enough. Also a term of endearment. Like when I go, ‘Wei, call er-jie over, I want to ask her something.’
Him: Orhh… Smelly, come here!
Your Smelly-ness…
Whenever you drive a bargain and he knows he can’t win all.
Me: Do it now/Him: No. /Me: Fine. Do it later/ Him: Yes./ Me: But for a full hour./ Him: …Yes…. your smelly-ness./ Me:?!?!

century egg. You feel like a century egg.
I told her in five minutes how weird I was feeling physically.
A century egg feels? Like what? I ask her.
No silly, I mean what you’re feeling…. is exactly the taste of a century egg.
Ah… I get it.
I feel like a century egg.

I thought I see ‘Safely remove’ can already? (she looks at me in a beguiled manner)
…after I looked at her weirdly for pulling out the thumb drive prematurely, after left clicking the remove-hardware icon on the taskbar without selecting it.
Yes Mum. That’s like asking for permission and not waiting for approval. Very good.
