Urgh! Things are SO different now that I cannot give out that big cheesy smile of mine anymore. Alicia used to tell me that my smile’s nice and warm. Sides, I’ve nothing nice to offer physically other than my smile. Now God decided to play a big trick on me. *sigh* Li Ann used to come pinching me on the cheek. Kenrick still does it but he just reminds me of the difference now and then. I’ve got a feeling that I’m always misunderstood for being grumpy, unhappy or simply stuck-up with this serious look of mine now. Oh well, I don’t mean to be serious but I look odd if I try my best to smile. So to look odd, might as well not smile at all. Dear, when will my facial nerver recover?
When concerned people ask how was the surgeries, without seing me in real, I often answer, “yes it is okay” but there usually is a long pause before I decide what to answer. Because neither of the surgeries were really “okay”. After all, there are bound to be pros and cons in everything. Besides, I don’t think they really mean to know when they ask that question.
I was really tired today. I was supposed to go to the Kiwanis quarters with Elena after school yesterday but when I return home, I was shocked to find Li Ann and her pleasant surprise. So instead of the actual plan, Elena, Li Ann, Florence and I went for lunch and played, you know what, POOL!! These days, I often come home after dinner time and this bad habit should be stopped in no time!
*chuckle* how many things have changed through the times that girls now no longer sit at home 24/7 like those in chinese history. HeHe! I once watched a 3 hour midnight movie at a cinema showing Shih Huang Ti first united the 7 nations to form China. I was very young then and not used to staying up late. Eventually, I fell asleep over such a boooriiiiing show. You know how polite were people back then during the first dynasty. Goodness Gracious!
