Far Away Land

I have lost my ability to do logic thinking.

Mum asked me to peel some really fresh prawns she just bought, preparing for dinner later, which was 3 more hours to go. After peeling the prawns, cleaning the spine, the most logical thing to do was to put in the fridge till we want to cook, then we will take it out right?

The very smart me think, "Eh, she gonna cook later, I shall just leave it here (on the table)."

My mum was just 0.5 step to scream her head off me. Actually, she wasn't even anywhere near shouting at me, her face was just distorted, and exclaimed in such a fashion that I think she thinks what the hell is wrong with me.

Then, on my way to pick Min back from school, the sky was already overcast with dark clouds, any logical person will grab an umbrella. Hah, me being super logical and assumed I am super efficient, just went off arming with the house keys. At about 20 more meters to the school, it started to drizzle really heavily (Not heavy rain, but the raindrops very big and it was quite hurtful when it hit me). "Oh great!" I thought. So I brisked to the block in front of the school and looked for Min. Not in front of the school gate, fine, I shall wait. It was about 10 mins before I realised the pony-tailed kid in bright pink and orange was my sister. The auntie looking after those kids at the gate told me Min had waited very long. Then realised I'm empty-handed, she concerned how am I suppose to bring Min back. I sheepishly answered, "We will wait at the block until the rain stop"

When I reached home, Mum wasn't around and there was a missed call on my phone which was from home. I thought Mum wanted to get me to buy something but she couldn't reach me, thus she had went to buy it herself. Turned out that she had noticed the heavy drizzle and had went after me to pass me the umbrella. Like what she told my Godma just now, "跟着她的屁股走回来咯！"

And just a while ago, she asked me to cut 2 slices of ginger and to wash them using the bowl of water soaking the broccoli and carrots. I swear upon my nail-less toe, I really didn't hear that. I thought she was asking me to dump the ginger into the bowl!

I think I need to summon my brain back from Far Away Land. It is still holidaying there.
