The Human Instrumentality Project

Cooked lunch today, as part of my preparations for the rest of the year. Recipes written in a high-level language take only 3 lines, but there's a ton of work involved. "Cook pasta", for instance, is definitely not as simple as it sounds (though still quite simple la, once you've done it once before). Pity my mum has no love for any cuisine that's non-Asian, or more specifically, anything not Chinese or Malay. Cooking is actually quite fun, quite relaxing (when it's an easy dish, I suppose), though it's preferable to have an appreciative diner.


I feel a lot better now that I understand why I'm upset; before this I was upset at being upset for no apparent reason and was feeling pretty bad as a result (and had to use this blog as a spittoon for all the bad vibes that I coughed up). Now at least I know that my upset is somewhat justified, at least to myself if to no one else, so I do feel better, comparatively. Therefore it seems that my response (or lack thereof, depending on your point of view) is also appropriate -- so no need for me to be upset over it, either.

I just want to add that I would like to understand why things are like this but have no way short of asking some very pointed questions and *hopefully* receiving pointed answers. But that's a move I am very hesitant to make because confrontational tactics are more likely to make things worse than make things better. Especially considering the sort of person we are.

PPS: Right after I pressed 'Publish' I saw this comic which serves as evidence of comic timing in real life.
