Okay .

So most of you have guessed the picture correctly but admit it ! What was your first thought when you viewed it ? :D

And to Mark , WAH LAO.

You're hopelessly corrupted.

And yes , believe it or not but this advertisement was actually on the front page of the straits times 2 days ago ( Tiffany and Co's ) .



I choked on my cereal when i spotted the ad staring at me upside down.

Woke up this morning and was stifling a yawn when i felt a dull ache in the pit of my abdomen.

I groaned.

Painfully familiar was this symptom , since i get inflicted with this once a month .

YES.

Period cramps . I ALWAYS have it on the first day .

I hunched as i staggered to the kitchen because walking upright somehow intensifies the pain.

I microwaved a bowl of water and poured the warmish-hot water into a ziploc bag , while popping a panadol.

I clutched the makeshift hot water bottle to my stomach and patiently waited for the throbbing pain to subside but it didn't.

Minutes ticked away and i realised i was already late for my morning lessons so i decided to skip it and attend the noon class instead.

Flipping the pages of this book i had been reading since yesterday ( Anchee Min's Empress Orchid. A book about the life of a concubine in the Qing dynasty and she was to be later known as the famously infamous Empress Cixi ) , the insides of my abdomen felt like someone was squeezing it with wild abandon , releasing it and repeating the process in some sort of perverse self-gratifying act.

Curled up in a foetal position with my knees pressing the "hot water bottle' to my tummy , the pain was so excruciating that suddenly , i hated my gender and i wished that i had a penis.

I'm not kidding.

I fell asleep and an hour later i woke up with the water gone tepid and the pain considerably reduced.

Any Malaysians reading this ??

Please do me a favour , visit any Converse shop and help me to enquire about their kid's sized range of shoes , and whether they have it in low-cut beige/off-white colour !!

THANK YOU !
