the other day, i woke up with my right toe bleeding. i know i didn't knock into anything, it's not that kind of bump-your-toenail into something injury anyway. it was the part which bends immediately after your toenail. there was a huge cut but the skin still remaining and flapping. (reminds me of the atavistic fold in TWW) either there's a sleep-walking failed-murderer in my family, or a cockroach or some other large insect bit me in my sleep. how gross!
mmm. my dentist says that i'm one of his fastest patients, and that i may even be able to take out my braces next month! that's damn fast la, 10 months only. not even a year.. some people whom i haven't met all this while wouldn't even know that i had them on! i guess i'll be a bit sad to take it off cos i like the look they give me. but then again i guess the aim was to have straighter and more beautiful teeth. and i won't miss the extra flossing and gargling with oralB mouthwash, as well as the continual scraping the metal does against the sides of my mouth, making it have perpetual cuts and openings.
i went for the expo book warehouse sale yesterday with my brother, and i bought 10 books for $46. some of them were really on a momentary whim, but i guess this is what retail therapy feels like. i feel EMPOWERED!
1.
harry potter and the order of the phoenix, jk rowling [$7] (this was because my mom said that my brother had to get something of about $10)
2.
the powerbook, jeanette winterson
3.
troubles - j.g. farrell (from which mrbooth gave us a PC lesson last year! i guess if something can be used for Alevel PC, it should be fine.)
4.
catch-22 - joseph heller
[2/3/4 was bought in a 3 for $10 bargain]
5.
stamboul train - graham greene [$5]
6.
when the sleeper wakes - h.g. wells [$5]
7.
25th hour - david benioff [$5] (wanna watch the movie!)
8.
hard times - charles dickens [$4]
9.
mind reading - how we learn to love and lie [$5] (i think the first part of the title is a misnomer for a book on basic psychology)
10.
talking cock - a celebration of man and his manhood [$5] (this was just so funny i couldn't resist it. a look at the phallus and its place in today's society and culture!)
anyway, there was this fag and his annoying faghag. then again, they looked similar so maybe they're brother and sister. i have nothing against the man actually, so fag wasn't used derogatarily. it's the woman who pissed me off to no end, squealing loudly about wanting to be literary when she saw J.winterson books. and squealing again with her ugly butch voice when her male companion informed her about spotting 2 copies of "the blind assasin" in one corner of the hall. and she went, "aiya, nevermind. it takes a cultured person to enjoy and spot such books".
wtf. die, bitch. cultured... and snooty. yes.
warrrgh. at the supermarket with mom. and i remembered a random conversation with candy about eating koko crunch during kindergarten times. so i got my mom to buy a box! and wow. wow. WOW. haha. that cute koala bear and that great chocalatey taste! and. and. pouring milk in. seeing the tough bits soften. and the colouring dissolve slightly into the milk, making it off-white with little brown bits, YUM. hmmm. i even took some photos of the koko crunch! hahaha. but stupid cam's not connecting properly and the computer is acting up.. so i guess i won't upload them. maybe later. eating my lovely koko crunch now, thinking about days when i was probably the smartest in the whole school, aside from not being able to write my chinese name except in hanyu pinyin.
