Black & White

Are you bored with my braces posts already because I really am. No matter, they’ll be gone for good hopefully by early next year.

Today I went to Penang once again for my orthodontic appointment with Uncle Lim, Kai Li and Shu Juin only. I’ve had a lot of people asking me to try the colours black and white and since I’ve already run out of colour combinations, I decided to go with it. I have linking rubbers fixed back on my bottom row and needless to say it hurt. It still does.

Before I continue, let me ask you a (rhetorical) question. What is it with Alor Setar and its lack of Form 4 Biology textbooks?

After that, Uncle Lim fetched me to Midlands because I wanted to hunt for a Biology textbook at the Popular store there, only to find it closed and, according to one of the Midlands worker, “rarely opened”. So, we went to Gurney Plaza instead and I found out there was a whole row of Form 4 Biology practical books but no Form 4 Biology textbooks (as was the case of the Union Bookstore at Jalan Stadium).

What is it with Penang (well, the little part of it that I went to) and its lack of Form 4 Biology textbooks?

Disappointed with my failure at finding a Biology textbook, I decided to stop being disappointed and start being awesome instead, so I bought Divergent by Veronica Roth, to be doubly, pleasantly surprised by an ironic finding in the book itself. Fortunately, that finding is for me to know only and for you to (hopefully not) find out.

After that, my entire day was filled with nothing but procrastinating duties. Needless to say, it was a pleasant day.

Footnote: With some encouraging and lovely comments from some friends and readers, I am slowly scraping off my writer’s block so Careful Confessions should be bubbly and alive sooner than you think! Yay!
