MY DAY When the long weary day is over , We finally reach home and relax . We throw away our boots so heavy and on our feet we slip in slippers. A cold shower wash away the dirt ; the dust and sweat of a long day through . Then I reach over for the remote ; what TV program is on today ? There are choices ; news , films or a play . Take any pick , it'll make your day ! Then I sail into another world . The present is too boring . Soon I get up to cook dinner . I am helped by my sister, Meena . Lots of food-stuff stocked in the freeze . I enjoy chopping , mincing and garnishing meat. Next comes the part that makes me smile , when on the hot frying pan I fry for a while With a quick stir ; I put in meat then vegetables . Sometimes I add ginger or pineapples . Dinner is a simple affair . No candles or roses for the table ; Because the electric light is so bright Illuminating the dark night . All night long I watch my favorite movie ; My eyes glued to the TV Sometimes we have mood for a chit-chat . We talk about this or that ! And at 10.30 , I went to bed . As soon as my head hit the pillow . I am off into the slumber land . I dream of what to do tomorrow . When at dawn the roosters are crowing , To announce a new day is dawned . The sun peeps over the horizon A new day is breaking. Agatha Lai 02
