Smitten Kitten

Even the most bitter of us get smitten...we just have a harder time admitting it. But I will cos it is becoming very obvious. I'm grinning from ear to ear, much to the annoyance of others. I don't really care. I'm just happy to be smitten. I'm listening to Damien Rice and swaying from side to side. That's how happy I am!

E.T. go home

That's right. I'm back in Melbourne. Life makes sense again. Well it makes some sense. More sense than it did in Malaysia.

Anyway.....

It wasn't making sense last night. God only knows why I need to down so many drinks in such a short amount of time. Now, I am paying for it. Oh the headache! And I know I said many inappropriate things to a few people. I don't remember what I said exactly, but I do remember thinking shut up woman! Hmm. Oh well. All is forgiven when you're in that state. I hope.

Me and my bumpy skin

I would like to ask God one question today, if he doesn't mind. Why did God plague some of us, his humble servants, with unsightly pimples? I do not see a reason to be thankful for them. They make me cringe when I look in the mirror. I hope that they do not have the same effect on people who look at me. Nasty little things, they are.

Precious water

I wonder what special water they use that they think it's reasonable to charge rm9 for a cup of tea. I'm pretty sure they use regular tea leaves which cost maybe rm 5 a tin and they can make up to maybe 50 cups with that one tin. Then there's electricity to boil the water which maybe like 2 cents a cup or even less. So it must be the water that's expensive. Oh, wait, I forgot bout the cup itself. Ok maybe one cup might cost rm10 but if u buy in bulk, u'll get at least 20% off. Then of course u reuse the cup so the actual cost of the cup is only rm1 if it's used 10 times. I'm sure they reuse the cup far more often so it's less than rm1. So u see, it must be the water then. Maybe they sprinkled tiny gold dust in it. If they did, it didn't make a difference to the taste. Still tastes like regular tea to me!

Why is my hair curly?

I have curly hair. It's rare for an Asian girl to have such curly hair. Of course being different invites attention; more often than most unwanted attention. People are not kind to those who are different. I'm often made fun of. Some people love the Afro joke although my hair is nothing close to an Afro. But it's ok. They can make fun all they want but I know it's just a way of making themselves feel better. They wanna feel better cos they never had the guts to be different. It's easier to be like everybody else. It's ok. I don't judge them. I just wish they would leave me alone. But that's never gonna happen is it? That's how the world works. I could change my hair. I could be like everybody else. But I won't simply because. So I will take their jokes and laugh with them and secretly wish they choke on their drinks if that's what it takes to stay true to my roots.
