It's in the year 2003 when I had to repeat my Language Studies paper for the first time. Due to my heavy workload, I realized I didn't do much revision after failing to achieve the minimum in the last paper to sit for this exam for the second time. I left the examination hall very much earlier, the first time in my life! Throughout my schooling years, I would sit glued to my chair till the teacher/invigilator with a happy and relieving tone shouting "Time's up!!!", only then would I surrender my answer booklet. But this time, it was so unusual, I had given up too quickly and much earlier than I thought... Where did I go feeling depressed? I went to KOMTAR Penang, it was still a shopping complex then, with my future MIL. We wandered aimlessly and my sight landed on a soft exterior thing. It's huge and sweet looking. I felt so much better just by looking at the eyes... I forgot about my depression and my exam. There were a few colours to choose from too! After a short discussion with my future MIL, I've decided on a chocolatey fella, which looked very much a dog, rather than blue, pink or white... I carried the doggie in my arm to the cashier, paying RM49.90 (it's a huge amount to own such a big fella, but it's better than paying medical fees), I didn't care much, this fella is going home with me! I got a shock of my life when the cashier kindly told me that they didn't have a plastic bag for the doggie's size! Oh my, should I return this fella to its shelf? I couldn't be carrying it all the way to my car... it's a distance from where I was standing!! Finally, with the sounds of laughter and giggles, she offered me a plastic bag big enough to pack my doggie home. I was so happy that it's a joke after all (yah, too happy till I had forgotten that I should be angry with the cashier). Since then, my jumbo floppy doggie has been with me wherever I am.
