my mom always says that i take after her smartness yet i take after my dad's stupidity.

to that i agree.

i might be book-smart, but i'm definitely not streetsmart.

i'm always doing the stupidest of things and the stupidest of things always happens to me.

take for instance, just now.

i packed food from home for dinner for work, and guess what? just when i was digging out the rice from the thermos suddenly there was a loud BANG! i froze for a moment and thinking where did that come from. but when i looked around the wrold world was staring at me. then i realised.

okay, my thermos kinda exploded actually.

the inner glass lining cracked under pressure, so glass shards were spewed all over my rice and some on the table.

right.

apparently one shouldn't use a metal spoon to dig out warm/hot food from inside a glass-walled thermos. i'm not sure why, but now i know what happens when you do so. haha the whole thing was quite funny actually. but of course, embarassing. and of course the whole department knows about this. tsk tsk.

an exploding thermos.

thats's really food for thought.

sometimes i think why can't i also take after my mom's streetsmartness. i am so blur and so dim-witted at times i find it hard to believe what use can i be to people. people who know well enough know that i'm not a very practical person, neither am i good hands-on. i really feel damn stupid at times getting into the stupidest of situations. sometimes i just brush it off but it really gets to me at times.

for all of the money in the world, i would rather be not so dim-witted and more street-smart and better on hands-on things. seriously.
