What's in a day

Nosepads and Smurf Poo
I'd been adjusting the nosepads on my glasses with my fingers simply because I'd been too lazy to drop by my sister's shop to ask her to adjust them with proper equipment for me. Then finally one morning at work, one of the nosepads broke as i was adjusting it.

Jeff immediately handed me a flat strip and said: "Here, you can stick it back with smurf poo."

It took me a couple of seconds to recognise the Blu Tac. Nice one. "Smurf poo?" I quizzed.

Without a blink he grinned and said: "That's right. Blueberries are what they eat."

"And it's high in fibre too," Dave chipped in.

Anger Management Candidates

1. Greg came by for a chat with us. I don't know what he was talking about at first, but eventually he caught my attention when he started telling of one of his golf playing experiences in NSW.

He and a friend drove to some golf course in NSW to play golf one holiday. As they were walking through the golf course, they noticed a man who was putting hard but missing the holes each time and they could tell his frustration in the way he hit the golf balls. The next thing they knew, the guy lifted the entire weight of his golf club, walked towards the lake, flung the entire load into the water, and stormed off.

Greg and his mate stood there watching, gobsmacked (golf clubs are not cheap). A few minutes later, just as they were about to walk on, they saw that fella walking back towards the lake, rolled up his pants above his knees, and began wading into the lake towards the golf club he'd just thrown in. So Greg and his friend thought, okay, so he's calmed down now and coming back to retrieve his golf club...

Much to their amusement, they saw the guy pull in the bag, unzip the side compartment of the bag, pull out a set of keys, zip it up, lifted the entire bag, and once again with all his might hurled the bag further into the water. Apparently he had forgotten his car keys in the bag earlier on and only realised it when he got to his car.

2. Then, Kimmy shared about a female friend of hers who one day sheepishly asked another guy friend who was an computer expert if he was able to fix her laptop. The guy friend asked what was wrong with her laptop. She then pulled out her laptop, opened it up, and shoved it towards the guy.

There was a hole in the middle of the monitor screen on the laptop. When asked what happened, the lady confessed that earlier at work that day, she had gotten so frustrated at an Excel file which failed to open up that she stomped on the laptop with her heels, resulting in a void right through the middle of the monitor screen.

Proverbs 24:26 "An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips"
Over the last two days, three cherished friends have been kind to admonish me gently with sincerity, honesty, truthfulness, wisdom and conviction in regards to my issue with lg. From them came encouraging words backed with heart-changing Bible verses. I truly appreciate all of it and will keep it in my heart.

Gold in the Rock
I ask Dan why he still likes me even though many times I have not been nice to him and have been a crappy person most of the time.

He says to me, it's just like gold mining - you have to dig through the rocks to get the gold. When you get a piece of ugly rock in which you know there is gold embedded, you don't just chuck it out - you keep digging and scraping off the outer layers until you get the gold within.

Foodies Meet Again
Eva invited us over for dinner yet again. This time she cooked vietnamese beef, chicken and tofu soup. On top of that, she gave me a copy of Women's Weekly: Low Carb, Low Fat cookbook.

Next week it's my turn to cook and I'll be presenting stir-fry baby octopus salad and tom yum goong - from that cookbook she just gave me. wahahahah.

We are taking turns to cook and try out new recipes each week (or whenever we can). Who knows, this might well be the birth of a food club for amateur cooking enthusiasts like us! Haha...
