Short Post One: Spaghetti Racism

Hello there, due to excessive free time on my hands, I have decided to blog more often. Rather than sitting around shooting zombies all day in Left for Dead 2 and immersing myself in the world of Korean dramas, I decided to do something more....productive. At least blogging would improve my writing and spelling and stuff.

While playing L4D2 does improve manual dexterity, I doubt the world would ever require my zombie killing skills.





Korean dramas are even worse. They remind me of how single and unloved I am. Damn those happy couples in Korean dramas! Why is it that Malaysian guys are so unromantic?! And the actors are SO handsome. To all the guys out there: would it kill you all to be as handsome, as tall and as gentleman-ly?! With that said, the Koreans are kind of gay though. What with all their tight clothing and constant crying. And wow can these Koreans cry. Want to be an actor in Korea? Be able to cry at will.



Something I found in Tumblr which I find very appropriate.


I also want to add that before this, I thought Korean/Taiwanese/Japanese/HongKong/Cantonese dramas dramas in general were lame. I eat my words!

So anyway, I want to blog more often now. However, they would just be short posts. Short posts would not be as long or have as many pictures. Just normal length you know..like a real blog! It'd be like a filler in between the really long ones.

Why?

I wish I could deliver awesome funny stuff daily, really I wish I could. But contrary to popular believe, weird things do not happen to me everyday. They do happen to me on a very frequent basis, believe me, God has an awesome sense of humor. I have 18 years of anecdotal proof that He does. They just don't happen everyday.

Plus, it's actually kind of tiring...my brain refuses to come up with awesome stuff at will. A post could take up to a few days to complete. Mainly because I have a problem in concentrating and always have like a thousand tabs opened at once. But also because pictures take a long time to draw and I want to perfect the posts before publishing them.

And also I'm lazy.

So anyway, without further ado, I present to you, my first short post ever: Spaghetti Racism! (Though it's kinda ironic now how this is turning into a rather long post.)

Today, against my will, I was dragged all the way to Tesco where I was supposed to help my mum pick vegetables.

Somehow along the way, we walked by some noodle aisle, where they sell all sorts of noodles. My mum saw all these Spaghettis on sale, and she couldn't resist it.

She was like,
Hey, want to buy Spaghetti or not?


And I was like,
You've never cooked Spaghetti in your life.


And she was like,
Haiya, easy only lah. My friend taught me how to cook before. Just add water only.


And I was all,
Just add water?! Are you sure your friend was talking about Spaghetti?!


And she said,
Something like that. Haiya, just follow what the packet says lah.


I picked up a packet of Spaghetti noodle and read the instructions,
Boil pasta in a pot of water for 1 minute. After that, remove pasta from pot. Pasta is now ready to be eaten. 


And I was like,
Wow, that was informative. 


And my mum said,
Just buy the sauce and pour on the Spaghetti lah. How hard can it be? If really don't know how to cook then you can go and help me search on the Google. The Google got everything these days. 


And was all,
For the last time, you don't need to add 'the' in front of Google. It's just Google! Not the Google. And secondly, I'm not so free to go and search for Spaghetti recipe for you lah. 

And she was like,
What what, I everyday see you on the Facebook, search one recipe for me very hard meh?


And I was like,
Oh my goodness! Stop adding 'the' in front of everything!


And she was all,
Nah, there! Here got Spaghetti sauce. I think you just pour this on the Spaghetti then can eat already. 


And I said,
Ok lor, you ma buy lor. 


And she asked,
Want to buy which brand leh? Which brand tastes nicer?


And I answered,
How on earth would I know? You've never cooked this before, remember? 


And she replied,
Then I just cincai take one la. But so small bottle only, don't know whether enough or not. Better take two lah.


And I replied,
See, you've totally fallen for Tesco's marketing scam. You were supposed to buy ONE packet of Spaghetti noodle only. Now you've ended up buying that, PLUS 2 cans of spaghetti sauce that are NOT on sale.


My mum ignores me and continues browsing for Spaghetti sauce.

After a while she was like,
This Prego brand okay or not? So I just buy two bottles of the same flavour okay? 


And I'm like,
What flavour is that?


And she answered,
Classic tomato sauce.


And I suggested,
Haiya, try variety a bit lah. Buy one tomato and one carbonara lah.  


And she was like,
Where? Where got Carbonara?


And I was like,
There, this one. The white one. 


And she was all,
Yerr! Don't want lah. White colour sure not nice to eat one. 


And I was like,
Hey carbonara is nice okay! 


And she said,
No no no, Spaghetti should always be red in colour. Other colours won't taste nice. 


And I was totally like,
Oh my goodness. This is absurd. Spaghetti with Carbonara sauce is famous. Spaghetti with Carbonara sauce is well-known. Haven't you tried it before?!


And she was all,
Don't want. I don't trust white Spaghetti. 


And I was like,
This is totally racism. You don't have 1Malaysia spirit. I'm disappointed in you. 


And she was like,
Never mind, Spaghetti is Italian food, not Malaysian food, so it's okay. 


After which, one packet of Spaghetti noodle and two bottles of classic tomato spaghetti sauce was bought.




-THE END-
