potato and ginger has the same genes.

let me tell you the story of potato and ginger.

first of all, potato means ubi and ginger means halia in Malay.
if you still don't know what it is, maybe these pictures can help you.

this is a potato.

and gingers.

By just reading the names and looking at those pictures, you can just spot the difference right away right?

so here's how the story started. i am a bit fussy when it comes to food. i don't share them, i don't throw them, etc. until this fateful day.

my sister (she's a chef having her 10 days of holidays) and I were at the kitchen. she was preparing things to cook for lunch. and I, of course the girl who sometimes hate Asian's food trying to cook my own western food. which is MASHED POTATO.

I love the idea of dicing my own food, from onions to potato. I just love them. Somehow, to me the food looks tastier that way. HAHAH. Anyway, my sister diced lots of gingers because she wanted to cook for the whole family and I who loves mashed potato also diced lots of potatoes.

After finished dicing my potatoes I boiled them inside the microwave-oven while cooking the gravy. I did everything from A to Z. and at last I have my mashed potato. I have to admit, the smell was a bit different when my potatoes came out from the oven. but whatever. I figured that since I'm not a chef, of course the cooking taste horrible right?

I placed my gravy on my hotly-mashed potato and guess what happened when I ate them?

Me: *makes funny face*

Kaka Yu: Kenapa eh? *tastes my mashed potato*
Kaka Yu: HAHA. Talur. Halia jua yang kau masak ani bukannya Potato. HAHA.


okay-okay, I accidentally took the wrong plate when I wanted to boil the potato inside the oven.
But, i just don't see any difference BETWEEN POTATO AND GINGER WHEN YOU PEEL AND DICED EM' OFF. do you??
diced potato

diced ginger

that's it. I QUIT cooking.

commitment propaganda

The thought of having a partner, getting married, have kids or any commitment related issues scared the shit out of me. You guys might think I have issues for making a big deal out of this. But true, I am making big deal out of this because I have issues. So, let me tell you why;

Timing is everything when you want to make a commitment. Because commitment can make a difference and difference can change your life.

Okay let’s just go straight to the point.

What I’m trying to say is, when is the right time to have a partner, marriage and kids? The time is always either too early or too late. Sooner or later, you’ll end up dying alone and lonely. HAHA.

okay, that's not funny.

People usually started to have a relationship when they were young (I mean, teenager). Lame old people especially ‘the old people’ at school would strongly disagree with such relationships. Why? They’re religiously old. They’ll give you warnings such as;

I have to say, their advice is so lame. But I do agree with the idea not to have a relationship at early age, because such relationships are damn stupid and corny (no offence people, HAHA.)

Another thing is getting married and kids.

Getting married and have kids are the biggest commitment of all time. The idea of marriage is a crap for me, but it’s kind of sweet though. HEHE. Again, timing is everything. Here’s what I think if you want to have spouse and children at the following ages;

20’s: TOO EARLY. Some people still need to focus on their study/career. And having kids can be the key to destroy your dreams. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

30’s: EARLY. At this age, you might already have ‘real career’ or very secure job. But since you have all the advantages, don’t you think you should have all the fun?

40’s: OKAY, but why do you want to destroy your marriage when life starts at forty? So my advices stay single. HEHE.

50’s: OOOPS, SORRY, TOO LATE.HAHA. Retirement is coming up. HAHA.

60’s: MENOPAUSED. Let’s just hope the younger generations are looking for the available old ones. HAHA.

70’s: PERVERT! Aren’t you supposed to have grandchildren already? HAHA.

80’s: No Viagra can help you mate. HAHA.

90’s: SENILE, you might end up at the graveyard the next day of your marriage.

100’s: CAREFUL. I’d rather die than being old, alone and lonely HEHE.

But in the end, we all will die alone and lonely. HAHA.

again, that's not funny.

sigh, I'm scared ='S
