- I think colours have feelings, so I used to change my favourite colour from time to time, so that the other colours will get their equal chance to be my favourite. But not anymore! I like Green, Red and Black ^^
(Trust me, it was a tough decision)
- I only eat aligned burgers/sandwiches. I will not eat it if it’s not aligned.
- The only parts of my body that will grow fat are my face and my tummy. And I can’t do any sit ups or exercise that will put a toll on my lower back, because..
- I injured my back when I was 16. I landed on my bum and now, it is a lifetime attention for me.
- I listen to Korean songs more, as compared to English songs, but
- I love Country, the Oldies and other songs that the parents used to listen to.
(excluding Techno. No Techno pl0x)
- I love my dog, Matt very very much. He is my best friend who is furry and small and barks at screaming kids at the playground and doesn’t react or run to you whenever you call out his name.
Hmm, that’s it, I guess. Although #7 is more of something to do with Matt.

Yesterday, I gave Matt a bath and realised how long it has been since I really spent time with him. Sure, he sleeps on my bed, curled up, snuggled. He greets me enthusiastically whenever I am awake or when I’m home from work. He is always there asking for food whenever I am having dinner. But recently, I have been selfish; I gave him the minimal attention needed so that his excitement would die off.
Yesterday, I took my time washing his back. I gently scrubbed his nose bridge, hoping to lighten the tear stains. I coaxed him to letting me brush his teeth, enticing him with his favourite flavoured toothpaste. I cleaned his ears, I scrubbed his paws, I washed his fur. When he’s all dried, going amok (HAHAHA! You should totally see him) as though being clean is a crime (but he really likes bathing! It’s just that perhaps, water in his eyes?), I tricked him to jump onto my bed and brushed his fur, combing out all the little tangles and matts. When I hopped into bed to sleep, he came, curled up and I pulled him to my arms. It was uncomfortable and warm. Yet I held onto him until I drifted off to sleep. He did not move away like he used to.
Yesterday, I realised how much I have forgotten to appreciate. That I may not have much, but I still have a few that I could confidently boast about. That Mum is here to listen to my rants; that she is back home safe from the Philippines, that my Dad is here to nag at me to have a hearty breakfast, that my Brother is here to listen to my problems and point out suggestions or solutions, that I have a Sister to act totally dork-ish and go silly during seasons when we’ve amicably solved our (her) differences. That I may not have many friends, but the few friends that I have are very dear.
Yesterday, I decided to wait a little while and had dinner with my Dad.
Yes I am still awake.
I am glad I am making awesome progress abide the constant digressing (mousehunt, reading the dictionary online, talking to ppk, stretching over occasionally to pet my dog. lying down. sitting up. shifting my blanket. staring at a very dark spot. etc) There are papers filled with cases underlined in green marker and violently vandalised by yours truly and doggy’s lay down on them sometimes when he occasionally shifts around. (Right now I’m distracted by blogging, right =.=)
I should finish up this last part and foolproof-read it when I’m done, or later when I wake up, and send it to my tutor for his feedback. (The dog just jumped up onto my bed again, Yay furball!)
[edit@1203] LOLMAO WHAT KIND OF ENGLISH IS THIS? HAHAHA I MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY SLEEPY! (I haven’t slept yet, fyi)[/edit]
