Instant Tong Yuen Disaster.

As some of you might have already heard, or even SEEN that I recently acquired a pretty damn nasty probable second-degree burn on the inside of the left thigh, this is what happened.

This post is also a result of everybody asking me SANDRA WHY SUDDENLY WEAR DRESS to Breakers when I usually go there in shorts and a tank top or well, sometimes my pajamas. So I guess its surprising to most who saw me in a dress, in Breakers, tad bit overdressed issit now?

Anyways I'm gonna story you right here and right now.

One night, last Friday night actually, it was the 7th if you really must know, I was making the ginger syrup to go with my instant black sesame mini tong yuen. You know those little glutinous rice balls that your mom would make for the Lantern Festival and she'd serve it in the sweet syrup? This:



So I had supper cravings for that shit, which prompted me to start boiling the syrup la right, with ginger and sugar so okay everything went well and smooth and the kitchen started smelling like ginger heaven. I tipped the stuff into a bowl to let it cool then the smartass I was suddenly thought ehh I damn lazy to add more ginger but I want the flavour to be stronger rite so what do I do? CRUSH THE GINGER. Wah damn smart right. So okay I grabbed myself a spoon and a fork, I picked the ginger pieces out of the bowl and started grinding them between the spoon and the fork la without thinking that the bowl was just right there hahahaha then the fork SLIPPED and my hand hit the tip of the bowl which poured out all its 30-second-ago boiling hot liquid ONTO MY THIGH.

Ginger syrup mind you, the ginger stings like a bitch and the sugar made the liquid stick longer to the skin which didn't feel so bad when it first hit me I still had time to grab a rag and soak up a bit of the spill with it then 20 seconds later the feeling came and IT WAS OMYFUCKINGHELL I could feel the heat and the sting and my skin looked like it was just gonna fall off and die the red swollen patch was as big as my palm, I ran it under cold water for a good while before icing the patch, 2 hours afterwhich the redness subsided to half of the size it was before, but not without a hugeass hideous blister popping up.

how nasty right, and my precious leg omg. Blister as big as a 20 cent coin.

And I was to go to work the next day as a Xerox flyer girl. My mini skirt had spanky pants in them and that was the only thing I worried about all night hahaha.

And I'm thinking thats going to leave a scar. And in the words of a good friend, Vikram, "and not a gangsta one either."

OR maybe Glenn, "WAH FUCKING UGLY AIYERRRRRRR".

OR maybe one of the Xerox Girls "SSSS OMG GO SEE DOCTOR!"

Shit damn long story hahaha

I've gotten over liking my nails in dark sombre colours like Black and Navy Blue and Shimmer Black and the only bright colour I ever painted them was Jungle Red, but hey now they're turquoise. My Favorite colour.

Time for a wardrobe update now that I have recieved the fruits of my 4-day labour.
