Seperti cendawan tumbuh selepas hujan

One day, during the rainy season, I noticed that my garden had a lot of mushrooms.

Okay lah. That day only got three.

This is the one that's gonna die already.

See the rough surface? Its spores were already released. Hmm.. I shouldn't have taken the picture in this angle. But whatever lah. Its shape was like an umbrella that terbalik edi.

The next picture is like how it was before it 'meletup'. The surface was a little smoother.


And this one is like how it was before it kembang.

Okay. This specific mushroom didn't kembang lah. Because somebody ate the top.

And the guilty somebody is...


Tom Tom's curiosity deprived that specific mushroom's growth.

So it died. Then again... This dog...


This dog is also the one who fertilized all these mushrooms with his excreta.

He compensated by helping many many more mushrooms grow in my garden.



But after that, the mushrooms were plyers-plucked out. This garden does not want too many mushrooms.

So no more mushrooms. Maybe after another rain.

And the grass in my garden lived happily ever after.

(Note: The grass was still threatened by Tom Tom's excrement. But I want to end with a "happily ever after" so whatever lah.)

Typically Considerate

Today, I had lunch at Geok Har's family's restaurant -- The Hakka restaurant in front of Delta HQ (which, by the way, is not bad and reasonably priced). Shirley, Ann, and me ordered food while waiting for Chin who was still in Mr. Moay's class. Most of the food came kind of fast. There were the meatballs, chicken, vegetable, and pig-intestine soup. We didn't wait till Chin came out lah. Later food cold already - not nice. So we ate.

Favourite dish was the soup.

Ann happily took like, almost half of it.
As I started to take a bit...

Ann: Remember to leave some for ah Chin.

Me: Yeah. The rest for ah Chin lah.

Shirley: What?!? You took like almost half of it. Didn't think of leaving some for ah Chin then ah?

Me: Ya loh! On Thursday night, when eating a plate full of pieces of like.. of 4 mangoes, didn't think of leaving some for me ah?

Ann: *guilty smile*



This especially applies to ice cream toooo. Actually, it happens with all of Ann's favourite foods... Hahaha. Terribly considerate sister.
