valentine's day A new year. A new beginning.

Listening to: Namida - Chiaki Ishikawa

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Its officially the first day of the year. Yet I feel somewhat melancholic. 1 more day till school reopens. Joy.

On the bright side, I get to see all my friends again!

It was an INSANE night last night. The New Year's Eve party was a blast! Especially when it was dancing time. Heck, even the old folks went out to dance to those crazy pop songs. It was kinda scary actually. The music was on till FULL BLAST. Wonder how could the old hearts stand it lol.

My parents went out to strut their stuff to the Cha Cha. All I did was sit at the table idly looking at the crazy people on the dance floor. That's when Eugene (the boy I used to have a crush on) asked me to dance with him. WAS SHOCKED. Didn't know what to do. All I just did was shook my head and smiled. Dancing is SO NOT my thing. Plus, I've already had enough [embarrassing] dancing experiences in my life.

I was clad in a simple black dress with stilettos as high as three inches. You can't imagine how painful it was wearing them for approximately 6 hours. My feet were KILLING me. It was definitely a relief to take 'em off. The stilettos were my mom's idea because that's the only decent footwear that matches the dress.

Me and my sis being dumb in front of the mirror.

valentine's day
Prior to the countdown, there were some performances to entertain the guests. A magic show and a concert. It was kinda boring cause my table is located far right from the stage. I could barely see a thing. The arranged seats this year were so stupid. All my dad's friends and families were sitting so faraway from one another.

After the countdown, the moment where balloons were flying everywhere in the dinner hall, it felt kinda sad actually to acknowledge the fact that 2007 is officially gone and 2008 is here. Argh. The party ended at 1.15am. I was already half dead when I reached home.

Oh and on the first day of the year, I did something NOBLE in my life!

I killed a cockroach.

Muahaha. I'm so proud of myself.

It happened around 2am. When I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth. I noticed a black moving thing crawling under the bathroom door connected to my sister's room and it moved slowly INTO MY ROOM. I blinked.

Mah lord - its a cockroach. I HATE COCKROACHES!!

But no way I'm letting that vile and vicious roach into my room. And NO WAY I'm gonna sleep with it while it's still ALIVE.

My sis immediately ran downstairs on my command to get the insecticide - RIDSECT: COCKROACH CONTROL. We actually played Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who should spray at the roach lol. It was my sis actually. But she was too chicken to spray. So, as the big sis, I HAD TO DO IT.

Spray. Spray.

Then I ran away. My sis told me that the roach was probably weakened or something cause it tried to crawl up the table but ended up falling back to the ground. I took a torch and shone on it. It was lying on its back. YES. That means it's gonna DIE.

I became braver. I stood closer with a handkerchief over my nose.

Me - Spray. Spray. Spray.

Cockroach - Twitch. Twitch.

Me - Spray. Spray. (I love spraying)

Cockroach - Twitch a little.

Me - Spray summore!

Cockroach - Twitch. Immobile.

IT DIED.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

*throws confetti*

But noooooo, the job wasn't over. Now how to dispose of its body? Stupid job. And it was I who had to do it AGAIN. My sis? She was merely the spectator. Bullshit. Well anyway, I took a broom and a dustpan. I actually CLOSED MY EYES when I was sweeping the dead cockroach into the dust pan. It was utterly DISGUSTING beyond words.

Finally, I took the dustpan (with the cockroach in it) and dumped the cockroach into the toilet bowl and flushed it. IT WAS OVER.

I could finally get back to sleep around 2.20am. That stupid roach totally ruined my sleeping time. It came FROM MY SISTER'S ROOM. And my sister's room is like a junk yard. She's not tidy at all. I wouldn't be surprised to find a whole nest of cockroach eggs in her cupboard. But of course, TOUCH WOOD.

I better tidy my bag asap. Its starting to weep in the corner where I dumped it. The poor thing. Left to collect dust since the day holidays started.

The End.
