The Small Things

had the mood to cook. so i cooked. i was looking for my packet of rice...eh can't be. it is missing. and i wondered where i put it. and then..HAH. i remembered i 'donated' my whole packet of rice to that babi chiew. but alas, thanks to zul, i didn't have to have my dinner without rice. thank youuu zul. your rice is lovely.

as usual, i prepared everything. walking from room to kitchen, from kitchen to room. as i went in the kitchen, there was someone inside cooking. was delighted. although the both of us did not talk except giving each other a hello, it still feel nice.

but as i started cooking, she had finished hers and left. the kitchen was all mine. i should be happy no? since i always did stupid careless mistakes in the kitchen one. but no, i wasn't happy at all. was kinda down. felt like i miss something. mushroom, rice, sausage, pot were there. but i couldn't figure it out what i was missing.

after finished cooking, i cleaned up everything as usual. walking from room to kitchen, from kitchen to room. and i just realized what i have been missing.

there was no jennifer around asking me what i am cooking tonight and teaching me the proper method of kitchening.
there were no zf and sophia, poking out from next door, making fun of my food, asking me if i've burned down the kitchen.
there was no rachel commenting every possible comments that could hurt my feelings.
there were no hong kies chit chatting with language that i could never understand in the kitchen.
there was no noise except for the rice cooker, pot's sound and my breathing.

i miss every small things in my life for the past 5 months. and now i just realized them.
