i went swimming with pee as planned. =) the sun was great but the pool was crowded. =( i hate crowded pools because it restricts the amount of space i will have in the pool. i need to look out for people so that i do not cut into their lanes or kick them accidently while swimming. arGh! my main motives to go for a swim are to get a tan and exercise. woohoo! i am not sure if i become darker though my mum said that i did. aiya... she always complains that i get darker and darker each swimming trip. -_- her views are BIASED.
i was thinking what i should do on sunday. my third aunt came to my house on sat's night. i can sense she is very worried for her youngest son. he is taking his O level this year. he wants to attend a JC but he is not putting in enough effort to make it come true. the worse thing is my third aunt is worried that he may not be able to make it to poly. she asked me to help her to tutor her son when i am free. i thought, why not? since i was free today, i might as well go and help my little cousin. =) it pains my heart to know that parents always go all out to help their child but the child is unaware of it. i just want to do my bit to ease her burden.
so, i woke up at 12pm today though i planned to wake up at 10am. (it always fails) i had a quick bath and lunch and took the bus 30 to Bedok. hai... that's so far away. an hour of bus journey. luckily, i brought my sweets and headset to keep me accompany.
when i reached her house, my little cousin was diligently doing his math weekend homework. i had nothing to do so my third aunt taught me baking. omg! karen can actually bakes without burning the kitchen down. mahahaha... she taught me how to make a traditional malay snacks and huat keuh. the traditional malay snack is more time consuming and i hate it when the dough starts to stick to my hands. so i had ALOT of flour on my hand when kneading the drough. the haut kueh is very fragrant. all thanks to the 250g of brown sugar. i could even smell the sweet-smelling smell a mile away. i am having it for breakfast tomorrow. haha...
i stayed for quite sometime and came home around 9pm and i have not taken my dinner yet. i watched the NKF cancer charity show while having my dinner. the sicknessis not far away. it is sad when the patient does not have any encouragement or support while fighting the battle against the cancer. the family left them alone. they lost their jobs. they seem to be abandoned by theie family or even society. my mum could not help it but to cry while watching the videos that show the lives of the patients. i was thinking how can their family do such a thing to them? the worst thing is they have the financial ability to pay for the medical treatment. why must they leave their loved ones when they need them the most? does the phrase "stand by me" total crap? argH!
i am going on a shopping trip tomorrow. hurray! i miss shopping....
"spare a thought for them"
