Two random thoughts just crossed my mind: 1. When I was very very little, I asked my dad where I came from. He told me I hatched from an egg. Young as I was, I didn't believe him. So I ran to my mum and asked her the same question. She shooed me off with an incoherent mumble (I'm sure she was not ready for that question. Added to which, she was busy at the kitchen when I popped it). Ever since then, I have always appreciated my dad's ridiculous sense of humour without quite trusting him completely when he starts spinning his yarn. Wisely so, I'm sure.
2. Ninety nine percent of Foochow men will look cute or gorgeous in their tweens. Twenty years later, when their 40 and above, 99.99% of them start to look like all of my Foochow grand-uncles. All six or seven of them (the grand-uncles, not the men). I swear, they look like quin- or sextuplets. I had a crush on a Foochow guy about 20 years ago. He was gorgeous, soft-spoken, kind and a true gentleman. I bumped into him recently. He was starting to look like my grand-uncles, but he was still soft-spoken, kind and a gentleman. And to my horror, I found that I still had a slight crush which manifested in my acting like a bloody schoolgirl in front of him. God, slap me silly and hide me under a rock right NOW. But, it was fun. What's the point of having a crush if I can't derive any schoolgirl fun out of it. Hah.
More about what I did in the last two weeks later.
Photo: My favourite photo of the month. Plus, I really feel like a snoozing cartoon right now.

hah! yes, i understand the giddy schoolgirl factor that comes with crushes. it's as though you can see yourself acting a fool and can't do anything to stop it at the time. it's a good attitude you have about it here....what's the fun in a crush if you can't act silly?
the photo is good. i can't wait till i get my computer back so i can start posting photos that i took and not that i got from the internet.
Ginger, you said it. Fun is meant to be life. The photo makes me smile a lot. :P
That photo looks familiar...hmmm...;)
Lois, it do, don't it? It do indeed.
