Not Dead Yet

Dinner can be a funny thing too. My sister just spent a large portion of it with her mouth open - not coz she was stuffing tons of noodles and dumplings into her mouth nonstop. That was me. Hers was because of a certain actor and actress couple who were sitting at the table opposite us. What amazes me was that through all the "Oooooo"s and "Aaaaaaaah"s she still managed to breathe once in a while.

I, on the other hand, was getting pretty irritated by such a display of whale talk. I mean how would you feel if there was this creature constantly buzzing in your ear about how pretty the actress is, or how the pair were really suited for one another? No wait, don't answer that question. Its probably just me being cynical again.

I do admit that i get irritated pretty easily. I can't stand people who start to blabber incoherently and drool when something catches their eye. Can't really blame Gid though, food comes under a different spectrum altogether and besides, I think Chunky's cute.

Anyway back to the dinner experience. I glared at my sis and when that didn't work, i rolled my eyes - really roundly (if there's such a word). So roundly that I i think one kinda got stuck and turned quite a frightful colour of red according to my grandma. Despite my valiant efforts, all were in vain. Something else succeeded though.

"BREAST!"

My brother yelled. Not quite loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to turn and look but quite enough to catch my entire family's attention. He had placed two empty porcelain bowls on his chest. His faced contorted a bit, making him look like a bulldog with constipation, then he exploded in peals of high pitched laughter.
