"i like vegetables but my mom is too lazy to cook chopsuey for me".. she isnt lazy cooking i guess, its just that she wasnt good enaf doing kitchen things :D.. sometimes i wander if the saying "the taste of the food u prepare will depend upon how much love u put while cooking" is true.. mom, tell me its not.. :P..
