Random incidents of the day

#1  Elephant

This morning, due to the invincibility I felt while wearing flats (understandable after two consecutive weeks of heels) I flew down the stairs three steps a stride- thump thump thump THUMP. At the last THUMP, I landed heavily at the feet of a passing lady, startling her. Despite her holding her heart as though I had just given her a coronary, I’m pretty sure she’ll survive the scare- as she turned to her companion and muttered, “How nice is it to be young with so much energy again.”

This made me think. The lady didn’t seem that old… at most she should be in her forties. I imagine myself at fifty and I am quite certain that I will still be prancing about, whining shamelessly like a 5 yo when I don’t get my way, and headbutting Tat whenever he pisses me off. I have so much excess energy to burn off- if I don’t I turn destructive.

As for when I’m eighty and can hardly move… there’s always the thumb twiddling option.

# Poo

I don’t usually succumb to doing my umn big business in a public loo, but today marked my first day of taking a dump while at work. One of the main reasons why I’m not comfortable with this is because I find it embarrassing when someone walks in while you’re in the midst of well, unloading…

I’m quite sure THIS would run through their head- “Omg is someone taking a crap now I can smell it hell I’m sure they can smell it all the way from China shit this stinks pun intended” cos there are certain times when I find similar lines going through mine…

I was so shy that I waited for whoever it was to enter a stall, and once I heard the toilet lock click shut- I rushed out (after washing my hands, obviously) and scampered back to my table in a record time of .89 seconds. Then I nonchalantly tapped away at my comp as though I had never left my seat.  

I’m so weird.

Current Mood: embarrassed

What do I look like to you?

I don’t have an English first name as my parents didn’t want to leave me stuck with something I didn’t like for my entire life. I was supposed to pick my own name and insert it into my IC once I hit thirteen (hello puberty), but I skipped that because I didn’t know what to name myself then :( Trust me, I went through a whole bunch of trial and error names such as Catherine, Jennifer, Emily… but they didn’t really seem like ME.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE being a Jia Meei, but I just realised the importance of having a snappy memory friendly name- I don’t want to be remembered as ‘the girl with that funny Chinese name with the extra alphabet I can’t for the life of me remember’ or ehem the ’small sized girl’. Even more so when I’m in the workforce…

I think I’m ready to add an extra name to my Jia Meei Chen! ‘May’ (derived from my Meei) might work but I really don’t see myself as a May much…

Help: What name do you think will suit me best? :) Here’s a guide heehee.

Edit: Thank you heaps for your suggestions! I shall list ‘em all down for future reference :D

Jamie

May
Jam

Cassandra Cactus Camomile wtf

Jasmine

Dreams

Jm: Okay it’s like Chian and I were in the school band again, and all of a sudden after a performance we had to board a plane to do charity work- there were less privileged children in the plane. We each needed bring food and stuff to help them. I fed a small boy and his mother, and gave marshmellows to a row of kids. Then I asked the person in charge how long is the flight? And she said seven hours. I was like shit I thought it was only going to be for an hour?! ‘Cause I haven’t called my dad yet. So I went to the phone area and called my dad to let him know I would be back late. Chian was there so I talked to her, and we realised it was Christmas.. So she was like ok let’s go to the supermarket to celebrate. We walked down the plane aisle and there was a sliding door leading to a supermarket then I woke up.

Tat: Wtf haha why so random! My dream was also quite random ok. I helped you cut your grass then you accidentally cut your dad’s flowers hahaha

Peenk

My room’s quite girly what with the random mix-matched red/pink items. Even the sunlight that comes through the pink curtains is filtered to a reddish hue, and I just realised that my new phone matches my bed covers…

While texting the Beff (originated from the acronym ‘bf’, invented by the ever amusing Shahpur*) ’till I fell asleep

*So Baskin Robbins is Ber, and I’m Jam (Jia Meei), and Jolene’s… Jab (Jolene Anne Baptist). I shall name my future son Frederick Allen Tuan! Fat.
