The Glutinous Tetrahedral

Unlike the usual sundays that i used to have my blanket over head till noon, i happened to be up early this morning to wrap dumplings! This year is quite different, as i finally earned the name Helper from mom regarding this occasion. Compare to ten years back i was still having trouble grasping the larger-than-my-palms-dumpling. After the years of upgrading and refinements, from Inept to 'average-Skillful', i could finally lend my helping hand since i'm quite free lately rather than lazing around in the bed.

Things went on smoothly- not for me of course, i mean mom. With the assembled shallow experience and inconsistent skills, the filling, wrapping and tying steps were repetitively carried out, sometimes without a hitch, but sometimes there were be some inevitably flaw. Of all the processes, i find that the quite 'tiring' part is the wrapping section, it's like..

look at ppl's one.... nicely perfect filled tetrahedral; look at yours, tetrahedral too, but why so weird wan

*unwrapped, rewrapped... compared with mom's dumpling

why so short wan this edge

*unwrapped, rewrapped... compared ... ... ...

For people who own close association with Art, i believe your Arty Side might have marked certain standard and conditions which varies from one and other individual before you identify an object or image- Nice don't ya. Don't understand? C'mon it's a simple principle, like in daily life, how guys rate girls as leng lui, how girls value guys as leng zai. Yea you get it haha.

So getting in touch with this arty-side along the whole session, i didn't and never like to move on wrapping the next one as long as the current doing doesn't meet the qualification of OK, ended up unwrapped, rewrapped, unwrapped, rewrapped. Imagine you're going through hard time wrapping wrapping and wrapping but it doesn't happen as if it supposed to be, added on hearing the uninteresting conversations between 2 male DJs who lack sense of humour on XX.fm, sharing jokes which doesn't really sound like a joke that 'bombed' audience and brought them into speechless, so lame, even made crow flies across...



*You can go turn off the radio wad
- cannot la mom wanna listen

The conclusion is: I could wrap a really nice one, just that i need a lot of Time
(Face it, you're slow!)

So by now you should have had a number on mind. Anybody?

"25!"
Yes!!!!!!!!!! you're wrong

"Eleven!" "33?" "Twenty-one?" "9!!"

"Thirteen??!" "22?"

"Twenty-four!!" "15?" "Sev..."



Hold on.. Yes Fifteen!! Come on stage the one who said that.

*The Yolk Lover Lii Meryn running lintang pukang all the way from downstairs to upstairs (imagine all in slow motion lol), got the hot dumpling, unenveloped the wrapper, slightly tore it open to reveal the fillings, letting out the fragrant aroma, allowing the steam to escape. One bite rewarded her taste buds, another satisfied her curiosity, third bite rejoiced her oral cavity with mouthfull of Yolk... by less than 8 bites the dumpling is already inside her digestive tract.

Oh ya to anyone who guessed it correctly, feel free to ring my doorbell to collect your Dumpling before june 2009.
