Stayed up the entire night up till 6AM listening to Van Canto, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, and Manowar. My mum woke me up at 11AM for brunch then made me go grocery shopping with her. I’m so sleepy now - the only things repeating in my head at the moment are “Hail, hail, hail and kill…” and images of DengDeng.

I was wondering why I hadn’t seen DengDeng in a while. Yesterday I finally found her sitting on a ledge on the second floor. I think we were both really happy to see each other - lol you could write a book with our story: The Crazy Girl and Her Smart Cat - so I was downstairs trying to figure out which way I should take to go up to her, while I heard Dengz upstairs meowing persistently and the sound of her bell travelling in different directions, trying to find a way down to me. “Her bell? Why does she have a bell on her?” Then I realised she’d been adopted. When we eventually reunited, it was the typical Bollywood run-and-hug scene. I miss that cat so much. :( Oh well, but I’m glad someone’s taking care of her now, and for the first time, after petting her, my palms are not dark with soot.
