List

Everyone has their own list of things that they don't like to do.

For instance, i don't like to

• hang clothes
• eat celery
• dispose of dead lizard carcasses*
• eat vegetarian Bak Kut Teh with ZY (doesn't that completely defeat the purpose of BKT?!!)
• do homework**

Above list is randomly arranged la. Somewhere on that list is...

• look for stuff in my mum's handbag

Now. Why don't i like to rifle through my mum's handbags? Let me tell you. She's a fan of these horrendous multi-compartmented handbags. Deaths traps, i call them. So freaking many compartments.

Let's say this is the handbag's "floor plan" so to speak. Hideous, i know, but illustrative. Seems like a pretty simple "W" shaped layout with 2 huge compartments A and B. Perfect for large just-throw-it-in items, like books, newspapers, cameras, whatever.

But Then!! The divider in the middle can be opened up to reveal compartment C! Slightly smaller, suitable for smaller items.

Then you find small little elf compartments hiding around. Like D, which is right outside. E, zipped, accessible via A. and F, and G.

Wtf... 7 freaking compartments. It's like the non magical version of Mad-Eye Moody's 7-layer trunk.

Now. My mum makes things worse coz she is something of a semi-meticulous person. She wants to be meticulous, but sometimes chuck things in randomly. Let's say D is right on the outside so she says it's for name cards, papers, and a pen and whatever. But i can find her name cards sometimes thrown around everywhere.




It might seem like i'm just bitching for nothing (which is kinda true, and i was playing with photoshop xD) but if you're in a hurry to find something, these death traps are annoying as hell. I spent ages searching for her ringing phone the other day, unzipping compartments and everything.

* Dead lizards are grotesque. I found one apparently squashed to death between the hinges of the refrigerator door! Fuck! Refrigerator! Can u imagine... hopefully it didn't contaminate the contents but anyway so it was there, there... dead-looking and plastered on the door.

Trying to avoid any direct contact with the creature, i had a plastic bag ready underneath, and attempted to scrape it off with a newspaper-wrapped metal ruler. That was when it came alive! ALIVE! It fell around my legs and lizarded away with lightning speed while my dad laughed himself silly nearby.

** I never liked to do homework, yeah. Who does!? But now that i am so god damn free, i am forced to finish my tutorial work out of sheer boredom. I would say that my performance this semester thus far has been surprising. I have yet to skip a class, and never late for more than 10-15 minutes. Amazing right? It's like a 180 from last semester.
