So there I was in class, standing at the teacher's table and in the middle of assorting homework and what-nots, while the tots were absorbed in completing a Maths worksheet. I then removed my glasses for a few minutes to rest and rub my eyes. Aminah, who was sitting right in front, quipped up from her worksheet and suddenly smiled at me.

Aminah: Teacher, you're wearing make-up!

Take note, that was not a question, but a statement.

Me: Yes Aminah. Why? Can't I wear make-up?

She merely smiled again in response without replying.

A period later, the recess bell rang. One of my monitresses stood demurely beside me, murmuring something about wanting to be last in line. And then it happened again.

Yun Fang: Miss Suhaila, you should wear make-up more often.

Me: Why? Are you saying that I'm not pretty without make-up? *snigger snigger*

Yun Fang: You are pretty, but when you wear make-up, you are prettier.

Eh eh, pandai budak nie nak membodek aku. Hurhurhur.
