I went to pierce my ears this afternoon. Now I have 6 earholes on each side. 6 earholes for 2006. I love spontaneous decisions sometimes. I was walking home and I decided to pierce my ears and hence, I stopped by the jewellery shop on the way. Before me were these 2 young girls piercing their ears for the first time, and they were so scared and nervous, and there I was sitting behind them with all my earholes and feeling like some motivational icon. It was pretty amusing actually, to see them pierce their ears. It was so reminiscient of the time when I was in Primary 2 and Mom forced me to pierce my ears and I screamed half the shopping centre down. Compare that with the girl/woman sitting there in the jewellery shop waiting for her ears to be pierced for the 15th time. What a world of difference. I was steeling myself for the screams but I guess these young girls were alot braver than me when I pierced my ears for the first time. Anyway, I feel so contented and happy with my new earholes.
