♥ the Low... after the high.
i felt a little upset today.
.
cooking for many pple always makes me happy. but why does the money part make me sian? i noe it wasnt a cheap meal, but its still not v ex also wat. 8 yuan a person n u say i stingy. pui. haiz... dont u understand im not obliged to cook for so many pple?? i dont have to do it but i do it for the fun. but there's so much behind each meal that surpasses juz the money value, which is priceless. when u invite pple over, u consider the likings/dislikes (aka ji4 kou3) of each n every person, to think of non-commonplace dishes tt everyone will like, and then consider the staggering of time, the price of the food, the compatibility of dishes, etc etc. and then u need to go buy the food from diff places, coke n cheese only in carrefour/wu mart, the veggies u gotta go fangzhuang cuz its abit cheaper, n bcuz i was alrdy burdened with all the foodie, i din go to my house tt marketplace which sells even cheaper veggies. and then u gotta dedicate the 2 hours to cook the dishes while others go gym/sleep/slack/surf net. makes u feel like a maid sometimes. the feeling worsens if the dish turned out bad, but tue's meal was still not bad la. hmmm..
.
maybe i brought all these upon myself. i think once i got over the food craze, i shall cease mass invitations. or if i do invite others over while expecting them to chip in, i shall buy all the cheapest food, instead of stuff like chicken wings, coke, cheese, veggie frm fz. in that sense, my household will prob "save" on costs. note that every dollar our guests saved frm the meal, my housemates n i would have to make up for it. its not like we're earning anything from that.
.
maybe im being abit over in this discussion, but i juz wanna spill it out of me. i noe i always stay over at ur place n "leech" on u all. but i do chip in for most of the meals and sometimes i brought fruits/biscuits (even thou i finished most of the biscuits myself..), and once i got u guys a new knife, and u cant deny the effort i made to go all the way to ur place (rem u guys always complain how far u had to walk to come my place?) and help cook once or twice, and i believe i brought some degree of happiness too. i assure u that if at any point in time i felt like i was intruding upon ur household, i wont turn up again. if one day i am too dense/insensitive to observe that, pls tell me that.
.
after that little discussion when i was asked to break down the prices of the meal, i really felt kinda hurt. its like u think im really cheating ur money. so much so tt i couldn pay any more attention to lesson after break ended. yea. it accounted for my lousy mood the whole day. and i even contemplated cancelling nxt tues' potential pig gathering. but nvm, think u guys dun really mean it also, its juz i think too much.
