happening day

today very happening sia.

morning: dad drives me to school every morning before driving off to work. today mum told him that he cannot go out until he takes out the trash. so i was late and dad took cte, which involves paying $5 for erp. in the end, still 8 mins late for lesson and lecturer made me and ber sit in the first 3 rows. (ber was early actually but went to toilet so she came in late. met her at lecture hall entrance) tsktsk.

but actually, 1/3 of the students in the lecture hall were late, cos the first 3 rows were all occupied by the end of the lesson. LOL.

had 5 hour break. interviewed 2 ppl for sub com.

at 3pm: itp talk. they say it will finish at 4, then in the end at 4 we had to go to another LT for an extention of itp talk. LOL. could hear alot of grumbles. i was also irritated cos i had made the poor boy wait for 2 hours already.

4-4.30 was some talk on when you can take leave from work. speaker was a honkie. means hongkong-er. he's very interesting and funny haha. at the end of his talk everyone clapped for him.

met jh. corrected his english for his assignment. XD haha.

went to fc2 to eat dinner. bought 3 shirts cos im seriously lacking in shirts. total $10. forgot to check the condition of them and when i reached home i realised one of them has black spots on it. need to change tmr. ma fan.

i ate century egg porridge. usually it only has one egg, which is $1.30. i asked auntie to add another century egg, then she said need to add 80c. (century egg is expensive, i didnt know. lol) then cos it's quite late le, and it's the last piece left, so she said she'll just give it to me for extra 20c. haha. otherwise if no one eat it, by the time she close she'll hv to throw it away or something. lol.

i regret eating century egg. i asked jh how come century egg so expensive. jh said: 'cos they need to get the horse urine, soak the egg in urine, transport to people'. i thought he was talking rubbish, so i didnt care about what he said about horse urine and finished off my eggs. was wondering how come he can be so imaginative and random to say that century egg is soaked in horse urine. (cos he wont go to such lengths to make me nauseous and not eat my food)

on the way home, he said that they used century eggs in fear factor and dare the people to eat it. and that from young he was told by his teacher that century eggs are soaked in horse urine. so i really believed it and felt so nauseous that i promise to never eat century eggs again. LOL.

went home to wiki century eggs. it says:

'According to a persistent myth, century eggs are or once were prepared by soaking eggs in horse urine. The myth may arise from the fact that significant quantities of ammonia are produced through the bacterial action on urea which changes the pH of urine from acidic to basic. '

and:

'Century egg, is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice straw for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing.'

then jh said:

'china, melamine incident. not surpizing if they use urine. and wiki not reliable source.'

0.o

i think i shall grow my own crops and eat that.
