A silly girl with her laksa challenge and missing angpows

Once upon a time there was this silly girl who decided one morning to put aside some of her angpows with her laptop. That same girl completely forget about them as the day go on and she runs around collecting more angpows. The next day when she was counting her angpows, she got highly emotional when the angpows just didn't make sense. At least 10 of them was missing!! How can they dissappear into thin air? It's just absurd!!!So she was fussing over it and it didn't help that there was no sympathy from the father nor the cousin. Thus she grew highly anxious and cranky.

When it was dinnertime she decided to have laksa, to once and for all prove to her dad (who have been taunting her for days that out of a hundred girls she is probably the only one who don't eat laksa) that it has nothing to do with being afraid of eating veggies (that's another story for some other day). The truth is she has sorta forgotten the true reason why she dislikes laksa so much. So she bravely ordered laksa, and ate it.....spoonful by spoonful.

Halfway through she remembered. All laksa should come with a sign on the bowl saying 'Beware of fish bones'. It's the same reason why she doesn't take desserts like red bean or green bean or the other gooey stuff (but that's also another story for yet some other time). Once discovering one huge fish bone, it was harder to swallow down the soup having to be extra cautious of fish bones. But she got through it. And decided that she was going to blog about the laksa. For she is determined to not ever eat a full bowl again. The after feeling of foreign stuff stuck to the throat is just darn uncomfortable.

Upon reaching home, she rushed to where she kept her laptop and took it out to get online. What an astonishment it was for her to discover a bunch of angpows with it!! And then she remembered and laughed at herself for quite abit for being so silly and forgetful before confessing to her dad that she has found her missing angpows. What was the dad to do but laugh as well at the silliness of it all?

-The End-
