I still can't believe Michael Jackson is dead. It's still quite a shock to me. K and the rest went to work today at the vineyards, so i am alone at home again..
I woke up late as usual, around 11am, had my breakfast, then sat down and started to do some internet research on my blood test results. Basically find out what the heck all those medical terms meant, and what vitamins / minerals i am deficient in.
For lunch, i cooked fish porridge for the first time. Ah Ming and A had recommended that i put ginger to bring out the flavor in the porridge. I did, and it tasted delicious. Never knew how adding one simple ingredient can make so much difference. But i also had my fishball and fish cake thrown in so.. = )
I had the TV switched on while eating my porridge, and Michael Jackson was on. In fact, it was a whole hour of Michael's MTVs. I just sat there, and danced to some of the MTVs (that was my exercise for the day), but i knew all the songs that were playing on TV. I smiled when Thriller came on, and reminisced the time when K and I did the same dance at our wedding 3 years agoo.. I also surfed the internet for news on Michael's death. I think everything just culminated, and i started to cry. I was sad that the world has lost such a talented man, a man who was troubled and bankrupt, but yet so beautiful and talented at the same time. I literally grew up listening to his songs, and even chose to dance to his song on my wedding. So there is a part of me that will definitely miss him.
Not long after the hour long MTVs ended, K came back. He asked me to research what there is to do in Hastings so we could drive out and get some sun while it's still bright. Turned out there isn't much to do, so we ended up licking ice cream at Rush Monroes, one of the recommended places to visit in Hastings because of the nice garden that the ice cream cafe was located in. I shared a banana and chocolate nut ice cream cone with K and we chatted about our timeline, when we neeed to go back to Singapore, my pregnancy etc. We stood up to leave around 515pm, and realized that we had been locked in. The employees there had been dumb enough not to check if there were any other customers around before locking up. I went around the counter, which had its shutters closed, and started banging on the shutters. Fortunately for us, there was one lady still hanging around, so we managed to get out. K was prepared to call the police otherwise.. = )
It had turned dark when we left, so we decided to head back. I made fish porridge again for dinner cause K felt like having it. But i didn't eat much cause i was a bit sick of it having had the same thing for lunch a few hours earlier. Tomorrow is supposed to be an off day, so we will be hanging out with Ah Ming and Adreana.. Still haven't decided what to do yet..
