School Holidays Make Me Fat

School holidays are blissful.

That is when you have fun things to do.

Exclude my promises to go out shopping with Mel and Gurp (due to the lack of money, if you want to sponsor me, you can), working for mom (you don't expect me to type legal letters the whole day, do you) and cleaning up the house (we have a maid, I shouldn't snatch people's job).

I did what I did best.

Reading fictions.

Shut up Calvin I'm not gonna read some book called 'The World is Flat' just because it's non-fiction. Furthermore, we all know the world is a sphere.

Dad's friend gave him this. It was actually meant for dad but...

You know what, I don't understand men. Is it that hard to sit down with a cup of coffee (or tea, or latte, or mocha, or cappucino whatever that is drink-a-ble) and READ A BOOK.

I tried advicing dad to read it.

Yea.

Ok I was actually itching to get my hands on the book, I don't know whether he wants to read it or not so I was actually testing him.

Chery: Aren't you going to read it?
Dad: Read what? THAT?! So many words and so thick...
Chery: Dad it's only 500+ pages.
Dad: Yes, and that's a lot! The words so small some more...
Chery: You studied the whole library for your MBA.
Dad: But that's different because... well... because... why don't you read it and tell me the story?

YESSSS!!!

The sad news: I finished reading it.

Shit I knew I shouldn't have stayed up so late reading it.

But being a smart person (perasan betul), I bought another book in case of an emergency (yes, this is an emergency).

Yes, that's right. None other than 'Sweetheart From Hell' by young, smart and published Lim May-Zhee (click for her blog).

She published her first book when she's 15 ok? This book was written when she was 16 ok?

If that's not a big deal you tell me what's a big deal.

Plus, she won 3rd place in Readers' Choice Awards.

At the beginning, the pink cover scares me. I don't like reading chic-lits but I like writing them. But I don't write bimbotic chic-lits, nor do I read bimbotic chic-lits.

But the reviews I read mentioned about this girl divorced this guy because he didn't pick up her lipstick.

I like it. Interesting. I threw RM 30 on the counter and went off with the book (not even bothering the RM 0.10 change).

You know what?

I can't stop laughing. This is the 2nd book that made me laugh like maniac (if you must know, the 1st book was 'The Chronicles of Blarnia: The Lying Bitch in the Wardrobe' by Michael Gerber).

I can't put the book down. It's so funny. It's so entertaining.

Shit, I'm 2 more chapters away from finishing it.

Nevermind, I'm getting one book from Cathleen today.

You're probably wondering why the hell do I need books and why the hell is it an emergency when I don't have books to read.

Because when I'm bored I tend to eat.

A lot.

I finished half of the bananas on this table.

Serious.

That was during combined HF, having board games session and I was so bored.

Anyway thanks to bananas, I lost in a game of Chinese Checkers to 11 year old Timothy.

I LOST TO AN 11 YEAR OLD KID.

AND HE'S ONLY HALF MY SIZE, VERTICALLY.

See the effects of eating to much?

I don't wanna grow fat.

But I can't resist it when mom comes home and say, "Eh, jom let's go mamak."

I love my roti pisang.

Mutton has this weird smell that makes dad and I nauseous.

But I like the grilled mutton at Jln Kuchai Lama, 'cause it's succulent and cheap and their mutton doesn't have that nauseating smell.

And my favourite mamak put damn lot of spices inside so their sup kambing very nice, no nauseating smell.

How can I not grow fat like this?

No.

I can't grow fat.

I have to grow vertically, not horizontally.

Must get books now.

But...

I'm hungry.
