Life is short
Unexpected things can occur any moment and ~poof, life gets extinguished just like that.
Was talking to J.T at work about the murders that happened at Epping. Actually, it was TT who told me about it first, because I haven't heard about the news till this morning. JT was saying how in Jakarta, back in the 1997 or so, there were riots everywhere. You can open a letter box, and a bomb will go off on you. You can be strolling in a shopping centre, and a bomb can wipe you out just like that. If you're a Chinese girl- fear and avoid the public toilets, for there will be men waiting to rape and disfigure your face with knives. When Jakarta was in such a chaos, JT was happily out on the streets interviewing homeless people for her school assignment. (JT, if you're reading this, you're one lucky girl!! Keep safe!!) Sounds scary, but in the end, if something were to happen, it will happen no matter what.
Still, it's pretty horrific. Murderer roaming loose. Family ties? It sounds like such a... well... Chinese thing to do... to kill the whole family off rather than target one man. And with Chinese families and their big extended relatives, there are bound to be complications, ill feelings and grudges. Maybe the murderer's already fled the country and went into hiding in another country. Maybe...
I guess when you really realise how fragile life is, that no matter how much one tries to be as healthy and fit as possible, avoid danger and lead as safe a life as possible, it really doesn't take much for all that to be bypassed and destroyed... you start to think what it is in life that is actually worth your time and attention. Like TT said, why bother getting angry, upset, or getting into arguments, when there's so many other things in life to enjoy? If there's someone you love, tell them; if there's something you've always wanted to do, go for it; if there's someplace you've always wanted to travel to, go.
Moral? Don't waste life on petty things like arguments or hold on to hard feelings. Instead, enjoy the life that has been given to you =)

Went to meet brother and TT at Chatswood because brother said he hasn't had yum cha for a long time [because he was lonely at work], so we went to the gum fok at Chatswood Chase for a quick yum cha session...
Despite it being a Thursday, it got crowded really quickly and at around 12:30, there were queues outside already. Thank goodness we went there at around 12 and grabbed a table.
Tofu fa~ hm XD
Sick of seeing pies? Well, this is Apple/Cherry Pie III, and this time, I actually bothered to fold the lattice top properly. Made it last night, gone when I came back just now from work. I swear, my brother's a machine when it comes to consuming apple pies. Welp, this one will be the last one for a while- all crappy apples used up! =D
Congratulations and happy birthday to FL and SM~ this was their birthday cake... ice cream cake! =D Was really really good. I only spent about an hour and a half or so at the party because I had to go to work in the morning, but it was still really fun. We were all given a block of clay and set to mould it freely.
Won't post it all, but here's a few:
Clay hamburger, complete with fries, pickles on the side with lettuce.
Very creative... a hand? And... an elephant coming out of the hand? ._.
Tarantula turned into a scorpion.
No prizes for guessing whose this one was.
Yay~ next time I work will be the weekends, so I get four days off... relax relax! =D tt!!!!
