My Expert Nose

My nose has been especially sensitive of late. In the past, it's simple to tell what soup cora jie made with just a whiff of my nose once I stepped through the door. But the sensitivity I'm referring to here is not as simple as that. Here're some incidents that happened:

I concluded the first day of the lunar seventh month was upon us while being shut in my house for one entire day. The windows in the house were all facing the road (with no burning barrels in sight whatsoever) and the winds were strong this season, but I still felt the air was terribly wrong, polluted. And any funny smells from the printer, vehicles, etc, will just be so strong it's hardly bearable. The weird thing is: no one around seems to share my complaints.

The latest incident, which just happened la, got me in my office seat sniffing the air. I was telling my colleague I smelt you tiao. She nicely said that my nose a bit the *ahem* sensitive. And that smell got me craving, and wondering whether any you tiao is sold in the 500 li radius. Anyway, after some time, I decided to get a drink, only to find a small gathering of people outside nibbling on otah and guess what?! There was a small plate of you tiao sitting there, and nobody was interested. Muahahahahahahaah!

In Loving Memory of Rocky

I'm a day late in posting this.

Rocky's gone for three years now. I still remember that derod promised to get a tux for him to wear at our wedding if he managed to survive till then. But alas, Rocky deteriorated so much we had to let him go.

Every now and then, I still tell derod that I miss him. It's funny that so much emotions can come out of and from Rocky's death. You know that the one you love will not return and that deepens the pain inside.

Piggy did a list of things we'd always remember him for. The list has some adding-on to do but it's enough to bring back those vivid scenes.
