It was just like last time, seven days straight of standing around and looking 'pretty'. I dunno if it's me getting old or simply getting too used to sitting around on my a** all day (most likely both), but wow, the standing was utterly and horribly torturous. I didn't whine about it all the time, but heeeell, by the time I was walking to the bus, it felt like my feet would snap if I bend it. D:

But it was still quite fun because of the friends there, despite the pain and boredom, haha.

Me and friends are all childish people at heart, so we liked to talk about... Pokemon. You people can talk about your JDramas and KDramas, but we? We talk about how the list of Pokemon has exploded exponentially since our early days as mindless kids.

Friend, being the wildly creative/crazy type, commented that we ought to liken ourselves to trainers, and then have the cashiers as, uh... wild Pokemon, lol. And then we somehow decided to come up with names for attacks, like those you see in the show, yah?

I can't remember all of them now (short term memory haha), but I think the most memorable must've been "Button SMAAAAAASH"; I think the customers must've thought we short circuited. XD

A: Eh, she hits the cash register very hard leh.
B: ... Very hard meh?
A: Yeah.
B: *observes* Maybe the register very old? Need to hit very hard for it to respond?
A: ... but she hits it really hard.
B: Ha, so she can have an attack like, Button SMAAAAAASH *insert crazed and exaggerated impersonation of button whacking with two index fingers*

And Ris Low, somehow, was a really fun topic to blather on. I was constantly trying to imitate her wonderful accent and kept repeating keywords like "rad", "BOOMZ", and "bigini" whenever I got the chance. Friend helpfully added more to the Ris Low-ness by quoting her as such: "I want to prove to the world that not all beautiful people are bimbos." It may not sound funny when I type it or when you read it, but Friend couldn't even complete the sentence when she first tried to say it, that's how funny she found it...

And then after that, Friend decided to add on to the weird by going on about some S Factor episode she watched on Youtube, something about "seductive eyes" and "giving out electricity", complete with full demonstration. It was really funny when she did it; wished I could have recorded it or something. The action went something like, flipping the hair out of the eyes, and then... well everyone knows how to "give out electricity", no need me to explain.

It would've have been very seductive, if not for the fact that she did the hairflip kinda half-heartedly, and then proceeded to glare at me instead of "giving out electricity", LOL.

So in the end, our convos about Ris Low ended up sounding rather disjointed and making little sense, but somehow still funny enough for us to end up in hysterics. And we're not even teenagers anymore.

Anyway, been thinking about the subject of life. I think most of us don't realize it, but I think the existence of life itself is something comparable to a... an amazing phenomenon (ohman my English is failing).

Just think about it; 20 years and 9 months ago, I didn't exist.

And then I was a ball of cells, that multiplied for absolutely no rhyme and reason.

And after that I developed organs, human features; who knows how, or even why it happened. I mean, could've simply stayed a weird looking ball of cells, doing absolutely nothing, but no I grew eyes, ears, a nose, lungs, etc etc. The process itself is a mystery; why do the cells even mutate that way anyway?

And then I was born, after 9 long months of warping around so that I don't come out looking too ugly. I emerge a big crying mess after hours of labour (thank you mummy <3).

Time goes by. I grow, somehow. Things happen, more cells mutate, blablabla. I lose my cuteness and grow weirder looking by the day. I go through my happy times and my awkward times and my emo times.

Suddenly, I'm 20.

And then I realize, 20 years and 9 months ago, I was nothing. Zilch. Non-existent.

It's such an amazing revelation, you have no idea how it feels until you really try to grasp the idea that we all started as absolutely non-existent nothings, and then became somethings, that move and feel and have a wills of our own.

Life, such an amazing thing.

Perhaps I should've taken philosophy, ahaha.
