The post before this was typed out in a rush because I was helping my mum make pineapple tarts for Eid.But now that I'm done I can take my time to type out this post.I just pierced my ears on Saturday.I already have one hole on each ear and I went to pierce another one on each ear.My sister and I pierced our ears at Tampines Mall.I told her to do it first because I was shit scared.I nearly backed out because when she was having hers done,she said it was painful.But vanity outweighed my fear and so I sat on that stool,and awaited the piercing (excuse the pun) pain that I know I would feel.And when the lady first pierced my right ear,I went into shock.I felt the pain but I could only just stare ahead of me with my mouth hanging open like a goldfish.My sister tried shaking me but I couldnt move.Then the lady pierced my left ear and I went into a daze.It hurt like hell.I'm only glad it's all over.
I finished reading Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper which Ain lent to me.It was beautifully written and there's such an unexpected sad ending.It was so sad that I nearly cried.I mean,I felt the tears behind my eyes and everything.I don't know why but lately I seem to be able to cry so easily.Like on Friday night,I was watch Ghost Whisperer and the last part was so touching that I actually cried.(yeah go ahead and laugh,I know you want to) And yesterday,I watched a movie and I nearly cried as well.If you didnt know me,you'd think there was no big deal.But all my friends know perfectly well that I dont really cry.I'm just not that sort of person.I mean,I didnt cry on the last day of school in PRPS.Hanis did,yes she did.She cried,but I didnt.And when Cikgu Ashikin showed a movie last year about a mother who was being ill treated by her kids,practically everyone in malay class was crying.I think only Shik and I didnt.So you can see why it's kinda weird that I'm suddenly turning into a crying machine.Maybe I grew a heart eh Nani,Andik?
Do you remember the cartoons you used to watch as a kid?I used to watch Captain Planet,Flintstones,Scooby Doo,Popeye,Penelope,Lulu!My favourites were and always will be Lulu and Scooby Doo.I think Scrappy is just adorable!Yesterday night I was flipping through the tv channels and Flintstones was showing.Hell,I decided to watch it.It's been a long time since I did so.And I remember how I would get so frustrated at the ending theme where Wilma locks Fred out of the house and he's trying to get in while there's an open window at the side the whole time.I'd scream at the tv and tell Fred to get in through the window. "THE WINDOW,FRED!GO IN BY THE WINDOW!" I'd shout at the top of my lungs in hope that he could hear me.It always irked me that he never listened to me.Then I realized why.It was just a stupid tv show.Of course he couldnt hear me.Man I was such a stupid kid.BUT,a stupid, smart, helpful kid!
