flawed work of art.

finally got rid of the plaster... now can type like a normal human being again. actually, I forgot to mention that the U2 guy was actually very nice. he took out his first aid kit and gave me a plaster to bind around my finger. he was really apologetic about my finger, while I was apologetic about the clothes. haha. call me clumsy. ok, not literally, don't tag my board with the words 'clumsy' all over, you guys.
so, yesterday, m'sia scrapped the crooked causeway project. what?! and we jb-ians went through all the traffic jams and detours for nothing?! there goes all our tax money too. my family had a lot to say about that, by the way. I was just amused at our country's decision-making skills. yes, folks, another unfinished project to put on the shelf of jb's unfinished projects.
this brings me to my annoying the souls out of my parents. you see, the filial daughter in me has been thinking. as it is, jb is a scary, unsafe place. and I'm worried about my parents, who're soon turning 60. which was why, I've been bombarding them with the where-do-you-want-to-retire questions. my dad jokingly said 'england'. right. as if I'd allow that to happen.
when I was younger, my dad told me he wanted to retire on a farm. so, when I repeated this to my mom, she exclaimed, 'what am I gonna do with all my pretty dresses then?' *insert dramatic music here* that was a moment in chu history, folks. when I told dad yesterday, he told my mom to wear it for the cows. *slaps hand on forehead*
seriously though, I never realised how OLD my parents were until I came back from london. they've aged a lot. they remind me of the old couples you see hand-in-hand sitting on park benches and stuff. just that mine will be squabbling half the time about everything under the sky. how romantic.
yeah, so back to the retirement scheme, I told them that we all should move to melbourne. dad just smiled that familiar smile while mom decided to buy some farm clothes to amuse the cows.
speaking of cows, did you know that if you push a cow down on it's side (I dunno how you're gonna do it, but anyway....) it can't get up? once, my sister's friends decided to give the farmer a hard time, so the big guys pushed down all the cows in his field and sped off in their car. man. how cruel are they! but, can you imagine all the cows lying on their sides mooing till the cows come home? no pun intended. but seriously, the cows will never come home, so the cows will just moo till they start foaming in the mouth! I like cows and all, but we all know they aren't that great upstairs. and that's why I love 'em! heh. ok. digressing again, I know. I'm just distracting myself from thinking about certain stuff.
oh hey. yesterday, I ended my post with a 'I love you a million red m&ms, miss mak!' I saw it off someone's webbie and thought it was cute. haha. one day, I'll buy lots of m&ms and pick out all the red ones, put them in a jar and give them to someone I really love and say, 'I love you a million red m&ms.'

random M&Ms trivia:
- in 1987, the red m&ms were brought back to the traditional mix, due to overwhelming request from customers. yay!
- in 1997, the first female m&m character was brought to life. the green m&m promoted her autobiography with the tagline 'I melt for no one.' cute!
- also in '97, m&ms world was opened in las vegas. I wanna go!!!

early this morning, I got a bit teary. I just realised... I don't wanna go back to england!!
