Dot Points

• I swear the weather (or is the the pollution?) is being a royal pain. My eyes are itching constantly, forever dry and irritated; my nose is swollen internally like a float a fish would be proud of, and has now honed its own brass section; my skin takes multiple involuntary sweat baths; my hair is on mode haywire; the heat is giving me major headaches; my entire self is like the buffet served at the kingdom come celebration of mosquitoes the world over. Surely there are more euphoric reasons to get sweaty hands than this.

• Trip with family to Port Dickson over the weekend was... eventful. I refuse to call it holiday, and it certainly wasn't restful. I have photos (but of course), but I can't be bothered right now. Later, later.

• Trusting that most of my readership is English-speaking (but oh well, otherwise), the other day I was at a little store trying on tops when the shopowner-aunty decided to bestow upon me that lei hoong hou leng. I spluttered, looked increduously at her, and she repeated it again. I managed not to choke and die, but muttered something about it being the fact that it wasn't really me but that I use um, effectively enchaning items of clothing. To which she took the liberty to make a grab at me to reveal the secret of my jzan hai hou lengness. Thereupon, she inspected said enhancing item of clothing, laced with repeated hou hou lengs. She wanted to know where I got it; I said overseas. Then she found the charity within her to show me hers, proudly announcing hers was not unlike mine, from X-brand! Maybe I should have said but hardly, it's not VS, is it? but I wanted one of the tops I tried. It was all quite amusing, really.

• Guess who came over to play today? We had such a whoopadeedoo time! First we had some raw, animal fun (I like how it sounds so wrong, so misleading, heh!), followed by food fun, and then more animal fun! Ooh, it was great spending time with those who love what you love - it would be a sin to dot point this and do no more, so check back for a photo post of its own in the near future! In the meantime, the photographer of today's events should have some nice things up.

• Why do we need to be re-reminded time and again? Do we forget that easily, or are we just suckers for punishment? I think, inherently, some part of human nature is just plain stupid.

• EDIT: Epk! My dot points are dot flowers??? How ultra girly is that?! Sigh, I suppose they match the wallpaper in the background...
