i brought a packet of oreos to school today. no, two, actually. i ate one on the bus. and it was dry.
so as i walked up to school from the bus stop, i thought, hey, i'm gonna try that oreo and milk thing. with soya bean milk, though.
so that's what i did.
and as i pried open the cover of the tao huay zhui, and took out the first oreo cookie, i thought, this has to be overrated. but i thought, even if it's overrated, i'm still gonna try it.
and i ate the cookie. it was soggy, soft. but the part where i'd held it was still crunchy. and i wished the whole thing was sodden. but it was over before i finished that thought. and i washed it down with some milk. delicious.
and i took out another cookie, and i dipped it likewise, and i ate it. this time, i hadn't dipped it as long, or as much. i regretted it the moment i had it, but that too was soon over. dry. i washed it down again. mm.
and so i deftly unearthed the third cookie (if you're keeping score, it's the last). hefting aside the silly wrapper, i gazed momentarily along one edge of the cookie (yes i know, a circle has no sides [the customarily understood side being a flat line], or infinite sides [think of a regular polygon with ever-increasing sides], or one side [the curve]). hmm, the biscuits aren't parallel, the cream must be squeezed a little more at one part. nevertheless, i bravely held it into the milk, the edges of my fingers getting slightly wet too. ambitious, perhaps. i noticed that small flecks of biscuit floated away on the surface of the milk, dispersing away, disappearing into the cup's great murky depths. like little germs. anyway, having made sure to hold it long enough, i lifted the cookie and smoothly transferred it upwards to my mouth.
ah. that's it. oh yeah, that's it.
and i washed it down with milk. now i had half the cup of milk left, so i saved it.
and i thought to myself, i should do this more often. but the easy rejoinder was, it's not going to be as awesome if you do it everyday.
my dear friends, ain't life grand.
