I'm back!

Hmph.Just got back from HK,and apparently I missed the NSW english test.Damn it!Ruined my record of distinctions.Humph.I have some work to catch up on,but it can wait.

I'm eating fish crackers now,you know the ones shaped like little sea creatures?The starfishes are my favourites.=D I forgot how nice it is to eat these things,so tiny and cutely-shaped,popping them into your mouth and feeling it shatter under your teeth,or nibbling at one at a time,wondering how they make hollow like that,tasting the artificial chicken flavour,feeling it prickle your throat as you swallow,while rummaging through the bag,hoping to find a shark shape or a whale shape.

I miss childish food like this.I think that you don't really apprieciate them until you realize that you're "too old"for them.

Kid:Mummy,got the fish biscuit?

Mother:*magically produces it from the goody cupboard that you are too small to reach/not allowed to open*Here,darling.

Kid:Yay!Thank you mummy!*proceeds to eat them by the handful*

You remember those egg biscuits?They're not exactly common nowadays.Those little colourful rice puffs you ate with chocolate goo?Panda cookies?Ribena?Yeah,we still eat them now and then,but we're growing up,and we can't feel as carefree and happy eating them like we used to.We know about calories,stress,schoolwork,family prolems,etc.

I suppose we all have to grow up sometime.

And leave behind our fish crackers.
