My life, and probably... Yours

"How's life"

I get asked this a lot.  i cannot emphasize how annoying it is when you know that the answer will fall on deaf ears (unless ofcourse you've an amazing "story" to tell). It's one of those questions that was asked out of a routine and people don't really wait for an answer... Or do they?

Whatever.

Well I'm gonna just say that my life has been difficult.

New me, NEW LIFE?

Not gonna happen.

no matter how great a downfall i received, how painful any experience was,

I'd still be me.

With a horrible life to deal with, with parents to hate.

Before my school had even begun, my life decided to have a twisted sense of humor.

I lost my MacBook.

I was so stressed to think of how to prevent my parents from murdering me.

I saved and planned.

Bought a new secondhand MacBook; Oh the irony is not lost on me.

That macbook's condition was -1/10.

I ended up getting a scolding and having to buy a new laptop anyways.

How cool.

Since I haven't blogged about my life for a long time, here goes.

I've been learning to cook for that boyfriend of mine.

He has a really picky tongue that guy.

Shopping for the beef (this place stinks okay).

First time I've ever stepped into a market in hopes of getting a good buy.

What even, is a good buy?

This is a must right?

Everyone has to tear while cooking once.

Yay, I had it ticked off my bucket list.

Making the marinade/sauce.

Frying the beef.

And then...

The moment of revelation.

My boyfriend's favourite meat was the beef.

This has to be good.

And it turns out,

Perfect.

The way I imagined it to be.

My mom who usually enjoyed discouraging me, asked for the recipe.

She asked for more.

So did anyone that tried a bite of it.

I'm so excited to have my boyfriend try it.

But I'm so afraid he wouldn't like it. I would cry. 

I want to make a good girlfriend and he really has to like it.

But even if he doesn't, he'll still tell me thank you.

Because he's the sweetest boyfriend <3

Next up on my list were prawns.

These were difficult to buy.

It's expensive and painful.

Live prawns.

Look at the way I hold them at a distance.

Gingerly.

I got the prawns peeled.

I had to slice their intestines out.

My boy's favourite seafood.

First cook.

It probably looked nice and tasted great too.

But the sauce wasn't supposed to be black.

I overcooked the garlic :P

So I tasted charred garlic which covers the aroma of the prawns.

Hence,

My second attempt.

I couldn't hold off my cooking any longer.

I've decided to let my boy try the prawns.

His comments were that it tasted good but too soft (as I've had to deliver it from home to his house)

And there was too much garlic as you could probably see from the picture.

Otherwise, he was impressed. (I think)

YAYYYYYY.

Soon, the beef. Very soon.

School was great but the workload is unexpectedly heavy.

Meeting the boy after school even for awhile, would be the perks of my days.

I even supported the boy at his first taekwondo competition.

Another tick off my bucket list.

And he won a medal.

He has given me that medal he has trained so hard for.

Thank you.

I would give you my first too <3

That would be it.

to my boyfriend:
"Youve been the perfect version of imperfection"

even if you've hurt me deeply, i love you more, if not the same.
