What a scary and weird day. I went prayers this morning and while cycling to the mos8ue, I saw a cute little kitten. As I cycled towards it, it gave me a snarl and I almost fell into the drain. Imagine the arrival of forklifts and cranes if that happened. Hmm, it was a black cat. People say it brings bad luck. But Im no superstitious fuddy duddy uncle. So I dismissed the fact that maybe I was "suey".
While cycling and testing human speed limit, I cycled over a small glass. It shatted into pieces. Superstitious grandaddies would have cursed and cry because it's a suey thing to break a glass. And to be suey for 7 years is no joke. But not me. Im the modern, new age guy. Where got such things right? I thought to myself.
When I reached home, my mum asked me to buy black eggs..eggs soaked in alkaline juices that you eat with porridge..you get what I mean. Then off I went like a perfect fillial son. ^^ I bought the stuff, went home and gave the eggs to her. But she told me that I bought salted eggs instead. Fine, so I went back to the shop to buy the black eggs once again. I did that and I came back happy that tonight we gonna have cholestrol laden dinner.
Later that afternoon, my mum asked me to buy plain flour. So blah blah blah, I went to the shop, bought the stuff and went home. Upon inspection, she said I bought rice flour. UGH..how could I not see the famous elephant trademark on the packaging? I went back to the shop and bought a new packet of flour.Only to find out that the packet had holes in it, and flour kept pouring out. My mother gave up and told me not to buy anymore.
I was thinking..y today so jialat. After some deep trance and a few bangs on the wall later, I found out the reason.
Today is FRIDAY THE 13th. Duh!
