Today is my Apo's birthday. Congratulations for being 93 this year. Yay.  
 
I had a busy morning and went to office after lunchtime for the rest of the day. When we were packing up and I was getting ready to my already late badminton session, my manager called for a useless meeting. Everybody grumbled, including me. Today is the first day of my period and obviously my usual cheerful mood is absent because of the cramps, so I only half-heartedly acted as interpreter. Now, we were not the single bit enthused about being kept in for much longer. I don't know how anyone can fail to see that, but our manager thinks we're all enjoying this and having fun, and was seemingly keen on making the meeting go as long as forever..   

We're getting there, just hold on. I was really starting to feel he was wasting our time on purpose. He kept asking for everyone's opinion about every single little thing and when we uniformly said no or yes, he'd keep asking whether everybody was completely sure. I kind of snapped. At one point, I looked him in the eye told him "they said no" in a completely cool tone of voice, but what scares me is I felt something I've never felt before. There was a rush in my head for only a second, mostly felt in my eyes. I have no clue what it was, but I definitely felt something rush. I have lived as a comparatively amicable person through a quarter of a century, and I wonder if other people often experience this 'flash' moment.   

The 'flash' I refer to is that 'flash of anger' in someone's eyes that people always write about; if I had been able to see myself tonight, there is no doubt that my eyes flashed something. Coolness.
