Last week, my students learned basic 3D animation. And of course, it always starts of with the basic “bouncing ball” exercise. So I went around to assess their “bouncing ball” exercises.

“Where is your ball? Show me your ball please…”
My students giggled. It didn’t strike me at first because I thought the students were giggling randomly.

Until I said this…

“Your ball doesn’t bounce when it lands. Bounce more!!”

The class burst into laughter.

And of course, NO PUN INTENDED when I said that.

Beautiful cherries given by Watson, from Venice.

“Just curious, what is your sister’s name? You are Cherry and she must be _______.”

Make a guess.

People always ask me this question, and also give me the same “fill-in-the-blank”.

The only “special” and “unique” name for my sister that I could think of was back in our synchronised swimming days.

My sister and I were in the state synchronised swimming team. When we first joined the team, our instructors remembered my name very well but always couldn’t remember hers sometimes. To make their “lives” easier, they called her “Blossom” instead.

The rationale is simple: Cherry Blossom. Cherry…and…Blossom!

My sister and I did double before and it was easy for them to address us. “Cherry and Blossom!! Count your beat!!”

Those were tough days for us. We had to attend trainings 4 days a week, from evening till night. We started off with a set of warm-up: Running, swimming, “egg-beater”, stretching, splitting our legs and etc. After 2 hours of warm-up, then we went back to do our synchronised routines. Tough. We were always exhausted after training and had a good night sleep.

Sigh…I was young and energetic then. Don’t think I could go back to my synchronised routine ever again.

I have been swallowing my toothpaste for almost a year!

I feel like a total retard to ‘swallow’ toothpaste accidentally while brushing my teeth. It doesn’t happen just once or twice a month…it happens at least 6 times a week!

I don’t know why…and how on earth the toothpaste and bubble slips under my tongue and find its way to my throat. No..I don’t brush my teeth with my head tilted backward. In fact, I have tried to draw my chin closer to my chest while brushing my teeth..and still…I swallow..WHY??????!!!! Please tell me that I am NOT the only one who swallows toothpaste.

It tastes sweet but….very disgusting..

I think I am going to throw out…:(
