she's a MONSTER!
my day started out bad today. like so fking bad.
1) i got chased by a cat
2) i was stranded at my bus stop with no bus
3) some woman stole the cab from me
4) i paid $7.40 for half a journey to school (damn the cab fare hike!)
5) i stepped into a puddle
6) i reached class 20 mins late (my school has this rule: come later than 15 minutes, considered absent)
7) i didnt bring my laptop in which my homework was stored
8) i lost track of assignments to submit. there's one due today - in hardcopy. and ive submitted the soft but didnt bring the hard.
ok. i know point number one sounds the most ridiculous to you. but yeah it happened! when i stepped out of the lift, this cat peered out behind the pillar. it mewed at me. so i meowed back. i walked. it meowed again. so i meowed again. as i took a few more steps, i sensed something running after me.
zomg! it was - *gasp* - the cat! i walked faster. it followed. my mind raced. then i decided to take the risk. stop in my tracks, turn back, look into its eyes and in my head i pleaded. gosh i was scared that the cat will leap up and scratch me. but it didnt. we stared into each others' eyes for maybe 5 seconds. my fear was soon gone. the cat wasnt mean. maybe it wanted to play. i felt sorry for the cat. strangely, it seemed to understand. and didnt chase me afterwards as i hurried my way to the bus stop in the drizzle.
anyway, today i ate like a hungry ghost. i ordered yong tau foo. the auntie gave me a huge bowl of rice. as i was about to tuck in with my friends, this other clique of girl-classmates came to our table. one of them pointed "see lar, eat yong tau foo, thats why so thin!"
-___- i could only smile politely and defend myself by saying, "hey, but it's a hugeeeee bowl of rice!" her friend agreed that it was huge. really huge. no kidding. when the auntie passed the bowl to me, i was like, "what the hell!". it's like the serving of two and a half regular rice bowls!
so um, back to that girl who was commenting about me. she said confidently that i wont be able to finish it. "at most you'll finish half". yaya. she prolly thinks im thin cos im annorexic. i told her, "i'll eat more than half."
i ate at my own pace. happily, in fact. it didnt take me long before i finished the whole bowl of yong tau foo, and the whole bowl of rice. that girl who was always telling me that i'm thin, suddenly turned to look at my bowl. "omg! she can finish?!"
you should have seen that smirk on my face... the feeling i had... i dont quite know how to describe it.
but what i do know is, the more people underestimate me, the more i like proving them wrong.
