"What is this Long Black Thing covering your head and also some parts of your body? Not to mention, your head is so small!" Remember reading that one out of Goosebumps - My Invisible Friend, by R.L. Stine, one of my favourite childhood books(besides bookworm books). That sentence was at the ending of the story.  All this while, the author did not mention who this invisible friend was.  He turns out to be a human and the main character was an alien, really entertaining. Mentioning about hair, my hair is very long right now. I can say this is the longest I have ever let it grown all my life. Compared to other people, my hair grows rather slower than most. I have not cut my hair since I came over here to the UK, been 7 months already. At times, it may get annoying since the hair keeps getting into my eyes and also how my head is not used to all these extra stimuli. I am still deciding whether to keep it or cut it short when I am back in Malay...

Expensive Lesson Learnt

I lose keys before, I lose my wallet before, I forget to do certain things, I have always landed myself in difficult situations due to my unmindfulness, which my mother always nags me about.

As soon as I printed out my train ticket at the train station, I only remembered why the train ticket was so cheap, I used my railcard to purchase the ticket and I only realised that I had forgotten to bring it along. I thought: "Don't worry Eugene, it is not much of a big deal, probably you would just have to pay the difference, nothing much.". Hence, continued walking to my platform and boarded the train. I searched for my seat and sat in it...
