On friday it rained in school, and I got all melancholy and nostalgic.
I used to love the rain to bits when I was in secondary three. I remember running towards rain whenever it fell. It was a kind of an obsession. I was obsessed with rain. At that time I figured there wasn't a particular reason why I shared this peculiar relationship with this natural phenomena which involved water falling from the sky in little droplets. But it was fascinating. Always had me looking skywards. Raindrops plopping on my skin. That was a good feeling.
And then there was this period of time when I kept seeing rainbows. As in real, non-metaphorical rainbows. Yes another of nature's phenomena I used to be in love with. Yes, those coloured arcs were everywhere. I don't know if anybody knew, but I was constantly seeing them. It was quite queer. Or maybe it was because that was the period of time I was actually consciously looking out for those rainbows. It was quite pleasant really. During gateway practice, I'd be rolling my eyes upwards due to some ridiculous behaviour of the juniors and tada, there would be a rainbow. During recess, I'd be leaning against the parapet and at the lift of my head, tada, a rainbow. And I remember the most stunning and beautiful rainbow I'd ever seen appeared in the sky when I was on my way to the 'O' Level Chinese exam. The sky was gloomy, stormy and the rainbow stood out brilliantly in the midst of the rolling dark clouds. It was a beauty really. And the weather conditions were so harsh I wonder how it actually prevailed. I think it had something to do with the presence of a reservoir. Does weird things really.
I think I should learn to embrace the rain once more. That would be good.

Festivity!
T'was a windy Mid Autumn Night..
Everywhere they went little kids were burning ants with the candles in their hands.
Not wanting to lose out to them little kids they too started burning ants with the candles in their hands.
Ants roasted and popped.
They were disgusted, but they could not stop.
The moon threw cakes which fell on them that night.
They picked them up and they ate them and they all died.
This day last year saw me and the 4L bunch playing with fire near the Bukit Timah Food Center. And we were all sweaty and hot. Tonight I went back to the Bukit Timah Food Center, not to relive the memories, but for a greater cause: to fill my empty stomach i.e. to have dinner. Well. I heard kids screaming their heads off when they were playing with those whistling sparklers thingies.. maybe the sparks flew into their ears or something. Ha ha. No, maybe their mouths. ha ha ha. Or maybe one of them fell when playing with the sparkler and it poked through his eye and the sight of the eyeball being pulled out by the sparkler made them scream. Ha ha ha ha. "FRIED EYEBALLS!" with the sparks still emitting it's so gross i can almost scream myself.
Hmm. remember the zhi char stall assistant whom I said looked like jielun some time back? I SAW HIM TODAY AGAIN! hahah. and he cut his hair. But he was still cute. And he still reminded me of the character takumi fujiwara in Initial D which JIELUN played. sigh. AND HE SERVED ME AGAIN! AHHAHAHAH. okay. i'm like all pervy. but he's really cute. sigh. Oh my god i wonder if he's single. I wonder if he goes to Orchard Road. I wonder if he stays with his mom. I wonder if he likes jielun. I wonder why I don't know anything about him at all.
I told bessie i thought he was cute and the first thing she said was "Lousy customer service." Bah. i think she's just jealous. She said an Indian man at the petrol kiosk smiled at her. I told her he'd probably fallen in love with her. And she was like "Of Course."
haha.
Like one week back I was going home on the train and this person dressed in a black top revealing CLEAVAGE stepped into my carriage. Good god. The tight fitting pants and the overwhelming Eau De Toilette, horrid. And this person wasn't really good looking. In fact i think even Mark Lee has a better complexion.
And this cleavage was the very first cleavage i ever saw
on a man.

Happy Daze
Good God. You know how they're like "Happy Holidays!" and I'm like, what holiday? The nine days which have just passed saw me unconscious. Like in a coma. *BAM!* and like eight days later i wake up and find myself left with only one day to do ALL the shit I'd been supposed to do in the past eight days. Hmm, and I think "Where have all those eight days gone?" And my ma calls out "VANESSA! YOUR 8 DAYS ARE IN THE STORE ROOM AH!" (geddit? ahah okay not funny, like i'm trying to be serious here. but I strayed. Oh man I'm like a strayhuman. Like as in straycat geddit geddit? okay now "stray" looks weird.) But seriously, I really shouldn't be updating my blog right now because I actually have work to do. And that sucks. Totally.
On that particular thursday I saw yet another interesting thing on my way to school. It was an advertisement with the words "Entertaining a few partners at once has earned her the title of text goddess" geddit? It's cute. ha ha. I was amused by it alright. And I dig cute advertisements. Like the one about the refrigerator with the vegetables all jumping out of the drawer and the cabbage hitting its head.. that was waaaaay cute okay. You all should catch it on television some time.
Okay I'm happy in my cca. My cca mates are like fun people. There are a couple of cute guys too! what a bonus!
Poor overachiever, his MSN nick is always so sad. boohoo. It makes me all sad too. Boohoo, but I can't just like pop by and say hi cause I'm shy. sigh, and it rhymes!! YAY! i'm like ready for prac crit exam already!

Give Me some Money? Please?
Wednesday morning on my way to school i had three interesting sightings.
Sighting number One: A Brit in a London Cab. okay actually I had no idea if he was a Brit, but he was Caucasian alright, and I was pretty amused by the sight. The cab was actually adorned with the picture of the British flag. Like, a Brit in a London Cab promoting Britain in Singapore. How ironic can that get? Ha ha.
Sighting number Two: An Indian with a Spiderman schoolbag. Okay I'm pretty sure he was an Indian this time round. And his schoolbag was pretty cute, if it had been on a primary school kid, well this Indian was and adult Indian. You know, it's the kind of bag which is oblonged-shaped, and which we carried to school when we were like eight years old, except that ours had pictures of Power Rangers instead of Spiderman. I thought it was pretty amusing and actually wanted to take a picture of him with my phone, but i was afraid that he might panic at the Sight of me aiming the phone at him and like freak out or something. And so i perished the thought.
Sighting number Three: A Girl with a Dog With a Neckbrace. Well I haven't been seeing the Girl with a Dog for some time now, and it was a pleasant surprise to see them both in the field next to Alexandra Hospital that morning. But the poor Dog had a Neckbrace. Sigh. Poor Dog.
It was a nice morning. Oh and did I mention that I Saw an Overachiever too? Well this Overachiever was standing. Yes, the Overachiever was Standing.
Saturday morning saw me armed with my period at MacRitchie Reservoir running. And it isn't a nice feeling to run with a pad alright. And it had to rain. Ah well, and I figured that to be a good photographer you had to have thick skin. Life still goes on without good pictures. And Life still goes on without colours. And Life has to go on even when you have your period. I guess Life has a knack of being oblivious.
