14 days
It’s a cold and wet in Lund today. We should have been expecting this what with the erratic weather we experienced in Ystad. Braved the rain and wind (and yes there’s always some level of stupidity in bravery) and went to my most frequented store in Lund.
No it isn’t H & M. Or any retail shop that I WISH was the case (in Singapore Forever 21 would easily win most frequented store. or maybe Popular hahaha). It is…. THE SUPERMARKET!!!!! Who knew domesticity would convert us into grocery shopping whores.
Ambling down the aisles and rushing to get milk with a loaf of bread in my hand, a baby threw his beach toys onto the ground. The baby cries. His mother notices the fallen toys but was so pre-occupied with her phone conversation (must be an important one) that she left the toys there and continued talking. I contemplated walking past it since the mother didn’t even bother to pick it up. But I thought “oh heck in case someone trips over these props” and I picked it up and gave it to the baby.
How can I describe the level of cuteness this baby OOZES out? When I passed the toys to him to be honest, even though I love babies, I was rather annoyed by God knows what (as in seriously I didn’t know why I was annoyed hahaha). I handed him the toys as if he were an adult, and grudgingly held a smile across my face. The baby stopped crying when I stuck the toys in front of his face and his cheeks, oh they were like little tomatoes!!!! I stopped scowling and started playing with him.
His mother actually put down her phone and to my surprise, came over and thanked me profusely (what on earth I only picked up toys but ok very nice she is). She then asked the baby to thank me “Say ‘tack!’” and he just stared at me with his blue eyes and sanguine cheeks. Embarrassed by her numerous requests to little baby to thank me while he just stared on, I was ready to leave until he turned around and smiled.
I died.
I went back to the front of the pram and asked the mother if I could take a picture of him. Pity he wasn’t smiling as much as he was, and pity my Swedish sucked so much that I couldnt even say “Smileeeeee!!!!”. So all I did was to thank and say bye to the mother in Swedish.
I love angmoh babies. Or any baby based in a Western country. Their cheeks are so round and red and complexion smooth as their buttocks (HAHAHAHA get it get it) AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. Mad cute.

On a more sian note, my exam question… got released. I thought the lecturer postphoned it but NO it’s out. Seeing that the maximum word limit is 2k words (for 2 questions) and that I’ve no plans for May (or rather tried to make them but nothing got done due to schedule clashes)…. I cannot believe I’m saying this but I actually didn’t do anything after reading the questions. And it’s close to 4 hours after I saw the questions.
Terrible is can terrible be. Hopefully I can get my act together tmr and get off this lazy ass of mine. My housemate sniggered when I said that “i have a lot of time” and haha HOUSEMATE KOH if you’re reading this I’m getting worried. And then this is when you will say “you should be” and then I really get worried.
2 more weeks left and I don’t know why I’m making plans to escape this place. I still have so many lame things that I wanna finish here…
