Pluto - The star.

Here's an interesting story.
I went to my kid sister's parents-teacher meeting cos both my parents couldn't make it. Anyway, as i was heading to her classroom with my brother, i commented that it's so sad that our sis has to be in her class - 6 Pluto. Yknow, because it's the last planet in the solar system and all.

"Planet??" My brother asked me in a tone obviously meaning to show how idiotic i was. Well, it turns out, astronomers or whoever with authority have unanimously voted Pluto off the elite group of planets in the solar system. This happened approximately 2 years ago.

Yeap, 2 LONG YEARS AGO!!! Where in the world was i when that happened? Probably busy worrying about what to wear to my graduation ceremony or something along that line. And such a momentous news came and went just like that without me even realizing it.

I guess i'm becoming more and more of a "katak bawah tempurung" nowadays. I have absolutely no idea what's happening in the world; or the universe for that matter. Perhaps it's not a big deal for most people. It's not like Pluto losing its planet-title will fail anyone in their exams (except maybe for ignorant astronomy students). In my case, it's far less a significant event.

But now that i think of it, my mom was probably right when she said I have to stop filling my head with cute boybands, funny variety shows or anime and start reading more grownup stuff - like the news whatever.

Erghh. dreads~
I hate having to grow up.

Oh well, in any case, I suppose it's time to say goodbye.
Sayonara dear PLUTO.. it was really nice while it lasted.
You will be missed~
