What do i look like!???
Hmm ever since a few days ago from an afternoon nap, I feel something funny at a particular nerve.
At first, I didnt notice until each time i turned my head to the right. I felt something pulling at the edge of my left ear. I thot some hair has entangled with my ear so i tuck my hair behing the ear. Suddenly it twitched again, as though some invisible hand is pulling my ear. I got abit shocked and looked ard. This is weird. Den I tried to discover where it came from and realised it is from my internal nerve at the ear edge. Later i discovered the nerve leads all the way to the left side of my neck. oh.... did i accidentally twisted it when i slept that time?? urgh, the feeling is really uncomfortable.

I think last time in JC, my co-mates told me i looked like a cat..... den one JC junior said i looked like a rabbit and he gave me a furry white rabbit soft toy during the reveal of angel-mortal game i think. Den yesterday when me and sam attending the anime booth, she said i gave her a feeling somehow that I look like a rabbit. OMG. hey... wat am i? Why do i look like a cat? becos of my eyes? I know when i smile etc, my eyes would close to form slits like what a cat does when it yawns, meows, or sleeps. hmm..... den why rabbit??? issit my skin that somehow resembles the white fur of the rabbit?? Hey i am not a furry little cuddly animal that u can carry on ur arms k .... my hairs on moi's skin aint that long k. or simply i looked harmless? hmpf. why why why, someone tell me why. what do i look like then.
