Me? Popular? Puh-lease.....

It was just another ordinary day like any other. I reluctantly dragged my butt out of bed and got ready for my morning rituals to start off the day.

It, being a Sunday was reason enough for me to enjoy a good, morning bath and a hearty breakfast while I worried about my upcoming trip to the U.S and how to further beat the living crap out of that video game boss I've been losing to for the umpteenth time.

There were several more newspapers laid out on the table than there usually were. Well, that was because my family would only buy the Borneo Post and the News Straits Time. However, there were even Malay papers to be found in the pile. Thinking nothing of it, I just picked up the newspapers on the top of the pile.

After leafing through several pages of the Borneo Post whilst eating my breakfast, I came upon this article:


Holeee pink cupcakes!!

I'm on a newspaper article? As in, a NEWSPAPER ARTICLE?

No. Friggin'. Way.

Normally, one would be jumping around the house, butt-naked out of sheer happiness, but not me though. I'm way too cool for that kinda stuff.

Instead, I was busy trying to dislodge that piece of bread I choked on earlier out of surprise.

Several Heimlich maneuvers later, I've finally calmed myself down enough to read the entire article. Oh, that's right, I was interviewed by a reporter the day before. No wonder I ended up being in the newspaper.

After that, I randomly browsed through several other papers out of boredom and to kill time before chancing upon this next article in the Utusan Malaysia:


They had to rush me to the hospital that morning because I accidentally swallowed and choked on a butter knife.

Ah, woe is me.

(I appeared in several other newspapers too like the Eastern Times and a mandarin newspaper which I couldn't be bothered to put up a picture here. Why? Since when was I the eldest GIRL in the family? And secondly, them chinese characters look like gibberish to a banana like me. XD)
