Day 4

Seven things that cross your mind a lot

- "Why do my eyes feel so uncomfortable at the moment?" This thought has crossed my mind a lot the past two weeks. I attribute the question to the state of my eyelids. Instead of being single-lidded as per normal, they've tended to become double-lidded when I wake up. I'm not sure why. If I did, I would be patenting it and hawking it off to my fellow Koreans (who'd want plastic surgery anyway?). The mullah would be mine.

But no, the mystery behind the sudden double factor goes unresolved. So I'm left with wondering at odd and random times why my eyes feel so strange and double-lidded. I don't think they even make my eyes appear bigger. What a lose-lose situation.

- "I wish everyone could just start dancing right now." Yes, I wish God (was) a DJ and Life (was) a dance floor (courtesy of Pink). Things would be so much simpler. I sometimes hope that Hugh Jackman would just come along and pluck a Lipton Ice Tea out of nowhere and start dancing. I'd be right there, busting out all the moves. :D

-"Oh well, that's awkward." Such a thought is usually accompanied by the following signs:

a) A lone brow being raised precariously close to the hairline

b) A side-long glance directed at any individual in close radius who may also just be carrying out the same action

c) A slightly uncomfortable impression that gives off an amalgam of emotions such as concern, bewilderment and embarrassment for the awkward party

d) A nervous laugh

I leave out the Awkward Turtle because it's so overt. I heard that it's supposed to disperse any awkward tension in the air but I'm convinced that this is a fake claim! As someone once pointed out, an Awkward Turtle just confirms that a situation, which may have just passed under everyone's awkward-radar, is well and truly awkward. But I do understand the undeniable urge to bring it out every so often. How else would our thumbs be given such a strenuous workout?

-"I hope it doesn't rain." It's funny how in summer I always wish that it would rain so that I'd have a legitimate reason to sing 'Summer Rain'. And then, as soon as the seasons change to winter, I'm always hoping that we could have a relatively dry winter so that I didn't have to worry about splashing or squelching flats. I mean sure, it's a purely selfish thought that doesn't take into account the drought situation but let's not kid ourselves here. We're still not taking the earth-friendly three-minute showers, are we? (If you are, kudos!)

-"I like what he/she's wearing!" For mere mortals like myself, fashion doesn't start from Vogue or the runways. The stuff's either too perfect or too outlandish – ideal qualities for eye-candy. It's when you start to see that girl in your seminar class wear a particular item and admire how well it suits when the object of your appraisal becomes slowly integrated into the category of 'fashionable' wear. Some may derogatorily call it being the ultimate trend-follower but I maintain that I don't sink to the level of an avid Cotton On/Supre shopper. Because after all, that would just make me an ordinary lemming who loves super-tight tights. Ew.

-"Oh dear. I'm procrastinating again." Pretty sure this particular notion needs no further explanation. Any further writing would probably just prolong the irony of procrastination.

-"I <3 Titan."

(I have a vision of the future: Forget about crazy cat lady. Boxer-lovin' spinsters will be everywhere. Coming soon in about 30 years time to a neighbourhood near you.)
