Buns and banners....

Today...

8:36am: Go to the grocery store to buy food for the chumps who decided to come over today. Get: bag of pretzels, pandan buns, Aloo Tikki snacks and frozen corn cobs. Get home and become concerned that my food reserves are insufficient.

9:36 am: Get on the bus to go buy calico with little s to make a banner for our Save the Children group. (WAIT, make that 9:41 or thereabouts because the bus was running late...no surprise there)

...okay too lazy to think back to what happened at what time now... basically we bought calico and got on the next bus home. (riveting stuff) From this journey I learnt that little s is infatuated with the elderly...and we must be careful not to leave her alone with them, else she may take them home with her. When we neared the local shopping centre, I decided I didn't have enough food to accomodate the ravenous fiends who would soon invade my home. Bought some chickpeas, baby spinach leaves and snow peas (decided to make a salad... devo that avocado was so in poor condition/pricey) and got some lotus and red bean buns.

Got back, made salad, put on Across the Universe for Little S to watch (I say for little s, but it was secretly for me) and waited for pinkham to get here to help with the banner. (her lettering skills were required) Next came Big M and Kevin... by this point it was 12:30-1:00pm... naturally we ate lunch shortly after their arrival. I was disgusted when Big M brought a McDonalds salad into my house. I tried to mask this disgust.

My salad: baby spinach leaves, carrot, chickpeas, snow peas, cashews, small amount of pepitas and some mashed up aloo tikki. I enjoyed it (tasted better than it looks here, to me at least), but the last ingredient was more spicy than desired by some of the crew...to this I say MAN UP... jks my apologies.

Corn cobs and some whole aloo tikki. From this I learnt that Big M is keen on frozen corn cobs.

So we spent the day painting our banner, eating food and whatever. Wynn dropped by and Stan came soon after. (I'm surprised everyone fit into my house to be honest... don't be offended if you weren't asked to come... it was initially just going to be little s, pinkham and I, but these other folks can't get enough of me, obviously) We managed to finish the banner. Was a tad awkward when Mum got home though... as in we all went silent and pinkham attempted to continue a discussion, with talk of uni courses... I was amused. Whipped out the steamed buns when everyone was there... they were a hit.

Totes dominated Kevin at a game of pool. He was concerned that he was losing to a girl. I berated him for this comment and continued to embrace my glorious success. Also looked at some primary school class photos for the laughs. Highlight of the day was when Stan was admiring the 'Children' in 'Save the Children' (my portion of the banner) ...this is probably an indication of my need for approval, but lets not dwell on deep rooted psychological issues ... Banner ('poster') painting LIKE A BOSS, YO. 

... I'm sure I'm forgetting any moderately interesting/exciting things that may have happened today, but I'm tired/lazy... and I've shared my food pictures, so I think my job is done here. Also, I actually LOVE Jimmy Fallon so much. Watched him tonight, as I often do - episode with Bill Cosby/No Doubt. He's adorable... funny, intelligent, aesthetically pleasing... I think he's the best Late Night host out. Watch him, if you don't already.

Listening to this right now...

Gonna go brush my teeth now. (cool story bro)

EDIT// I remember the funniest part of this day. When Big M, Kevin, Stan and I were sitting in my bedroom on floor cushions. (2 per cushion) Kevin points to ours and says 'LOOK A COCKROACH' and Stan squeals and leaps up (practically hitting her head on the roof). THE END.
