Green Day!

Meet Ms Green Finger...(aka Green Panda aka Yellow pineapple)
...and Ms Zara Green...
... and their green food- mini chasoba (really mini), seaweed sushi, big chasoba (yumyumyum) and green apple + celery juice!
Guess what happened after slacking in front of a green board...
...no, I didn't buy new green earrings...

I pierced the top of my left ear!

I'm still in absolute disbelief... I never thought I will do a piercing there. In fact, Manda was contemplating whether to do a second piercing at the top of her ear and I was saying that I personally find that girls tend to look slightly (make that very very very very very slightly, now that I've got one too) less feminine when they spot such piercings. She went ahead anyway... and somehow, I was tempted to pierce a 4th earhole on my right earlobe, until the sales assistant told me that it would involve piercing a hole through some bone at the back of my ear and I chickened out. So, we left the shop...

... but the urge to get a new piercing remained. And 5 minutes later, I declared that I wanted to pierce the top of my ear too! (Just found out it's called the Helix of the human ear) So much freaking out over piercing through the back of my bone and infections (for the record, it barely hurt). Now, I've a hole right through my bone, and it'll take 6 months to heal. AND it's really hot now, but I don't dare to tie up my hair... my mum will freak out if she sees the new stud, as she did with my 3rd earhole.

When I said it was an urge, I meant a huge, burning compulsion. I've no idea why, but everytime something major happens in my life, I would end up getting my ears pierced. Randomly, on a whim, for no good reason at all. Perhaps it's a mild form of self harming. Or maybe, I just feel the need to leave a mark to remember the event by. I don't know, but I swear I'm not piercing my ears ever again... or I might end up with a earful of holes by the time I'm a 70 (y)ear old granny who is finally done with all the ups and downs of life, haha.

Just two days ago, I told a good friend over dinner that I rarely do things on impulse. That even if I wanted to do something strange/dumb/quirky/insane/etcetcetc, I would plan it out first. Because I like control in my life, self-control. And today, I just realized that those rules don't apply to all the holes in my ears- all sheer impulse! I think that's the only exception to the rule...

wait, I think shopping might just be another exception!

Enough about ears. (Manda, now I think we have a thing about ears, but you'll probably give me a earful if I spill it out here eh?)

Manda Panda's going to India for 10 days... babe, I'm going to miss you!!! =(

Ray, quick come back from Germany, I'm dying of boredom and I want to play Chinese Chess!

Oh, I bought The Undercover Economist today, can't wait to start reading it once I'm done with Living Brands. (I'm really becoming a nerd, how unbecoming!)

Awhile back, I didn't think all these was possible. The relief is amazing. I hope it lasts. =)
