Splinter-

-in my thumb, cause by my unwrapping of those disposable wooden chopsticks. ): Pain. It still stings after it's removal. Said my mum:"Removing splinters is my specialty!"

At dinner today:

Dad(in Chinese) to Mum: "There's a girl who looks exactly like our daughter in Pek Qio, bespectacled. Really looks like our daughter! Fat like her.'

Mum and i: "Tsk!"

Of course i fiercely glared at him. I know my size is the opposite of dimmutive but honestly, wtf you don't say this to your own daughter!

I've certainly been jogging daily on the treadmill too at home f.y.i.

Anyway, my dad kept silent for a while, chomping his rojak.

Mum: "You mean fatter than her lah, she's been working out everyday you know!"

Dad: (nods).

Then: "I got a shock. I was queuing for my wantan mee and i was looking around when i saw her behind me, xia wo yi tiao! I was 'eh what's Grace doing here? I thought she was at home; why's she suddenly behind me? And how come suddenly more fatter?' Then i stared at her face and she stared back at me."

Dad demonstrated his reaction and my mum and i dissolved into giggles. Could totally imagine his stunned face!

Kept me chuckling for quite a while.

Anyw, Whampoa market has this salon that offers highlighting services(and wash and blow) for a cheap price; below $20. Zillion of times cheaper than the salon i'd originally planned to go to($130+) to streak my hair Japanese strawberry(a really pretty color imported from Japan!!).

However, they only have german colours, am hoping they'd have the really pretty Jap strawberry shade tho.

Am planning a visit there, sometime in the future. Maybe in the two week hols in Oct...

A week and a day more to my new pet hammie! :)) I still don't know what to name it though, and if i should get a cage for her, would she somehow,idk, hop out of the plastic tank i am considering to house her in? And so on,so forth... my mum's petrified of her escaping from the tank.

In fact, she's absolutely terrified of all animals, particularly dogs. -_-

Sian, looks like i'll have to get my own house in order to have dogs-and cats and rabbits and turtles! Provided there'll be enough space for all of them luh. :)

I think i'll stop here so i can online-shop more intensively, read manga and P.S all the way.

Nights. :)
