Deaths at the start of a New Year

Comments Off

Turned on the tv for the evening news and this is what I heard: “A man rams his car into his girlfriend’s car and killed her”. Full story here. This is so crazy. Arguing because of another woman and she’s now dead. It’s really sad especially the girlfriend left behind three young kids.

This morning, a car hit a semi head-on on I-35 heading south on County Road 46 (160th St). The car was going the wrong way and that’s how the driver’s life ended. The crashed was so forceful, it damaged the cab of the semi. The morning news showed the scene of the accident and the car was totalled – kaput. The driver died instantly.

On yesterday’s morning news, an older lady, 80 years old, died in a house fire. She was trying to get out of the house through the back door where the fire was, but the smoke must have gotten to her. The fire Marshall said said her house was full of fire hazards – one of them was iron bars on the windows which prevented the fire fighters to get into the house. Plus, she had double-key lock on the iron door and no smoke detectors. What a pity. The saddest part was she had her keys in her hands walking towards the back door.

There was another incident of a snowmobile accident on Monday. A teenager on his snowmobile collided with a snowplow and died at the scene.

Three people died on New Year’s day because of spin outs. I’m really lucky.

And a guy was shot on New Year’s morning who was shot to death because of a love-traingle. This shooting was the first homicide for Minneapolis.

No wonder it is now called Murder-polis. There were so many murders last year that I lost count of them. Hopefully there will be less murders this year especially young teenage killers. Go home and work on your homework or go out and help out the community, instead of wasting your lives away.

Comfort Food

Comments Off

Usually we eat because we are hungry or need energy, right? What about eating certain foods that make you feel good and sometimes remind us of happy memories? I call the latter comfort food.

How does a food become comfort food? I know ice-cream and cakes are also a comfort food for other people. This comfort food came to my mind because I cannot stop eating noodles, you know “hor fun”, “beehoon”, “chow kuey teow” and the egg noodles. I believe that we connect food with important times, feelings and people in our lives. I miss my mom and dad’s cooking, and also I miss them very much, hence I’m going for all these noodles which reminds me when I was back in Ipoh. Dad’s fried noodles and rice is the best. I still remember my mom’s “birthday mee”. Oooohhh, so yummy. On my last CNY trip, my mom made Siamese laksa. Thanks, sis, for planning the menu during my trip.

I noticed one of my coworker’s comfort food is pop-corn. She goes for pop-corn whenever she’s stressed out. Grab a packet from her cabinet, run up to the cafeteria and pop it in the microwave. Two minutes and it’s done and she comes back to the office with her bag of popped pop-corn. The entire office smells of buttered pop-corn.

Tomorrow is Saturday and it’s noodles for breakfast for me. DB will probably want some, but he might not since we might get “Pad Thai” for dinner.
