What is my life

PERMALINK • Saturday, 1 October 2011

Mr Sng is such a brilliant teacher. He bought us bottles of bubbles, let us blow them during SEL, letting fly hundreds of beautiful glossy spheres in the middle of the classroom block; in the middle of the most stressful period, in the middle of a lovely lifetime.

It was so much fun while it lasted. Like he mentioned, just soap and water can have such a ethereal effect and dispel our worries. He was mentally prepared to take the blame for the disruption of peace. How much peace was there emotionally and mentally in those that were studying hard anyway?

Good news about a reply. Frozen in mid-stride, gazes lingering a second longer. Millisecond. Nanosecond. Making a huge difference. The obliviousness. The teasing. The realization and the awkward annoyance, cute aversion of eyes. I squealed so badly I felt like I was going to explode into rainbows and fluff and ribbons and hearts.

Aye, yesterday was worth remembering.

This morning I woke early because I went to bed at the holy hour of eight. The sleep was the best I'd had in so long oh dear what is my life.

I finished the minimum amount of math homework that was expected of us. Success at a Trigonometry problem like is the peak of spiritual attainment, the fulfillment of all things holy. 1+sin2x

I committed to memory the way in which a sea cliff is formed: the high steep rock face is formed when waves repeatedly pound against a rocky coast. This weakens the rocks and causes lines of weakness to appear in the rock face. Waves will cute a notch in the rock along the lines of weakness. The notch is further eroded to form a sea cave. The overhanging part of the notch or sea cliff will eventually collapse with the repeated pounding of the waves resulting in a sea cliff... And other trivia knowledge that will determine my future.

Met Yufeng for kayaking at about 2.

We were so badass. The scenario was that we'd lost a blade from our paddle and were supposed to paddle with one blade on one side i.e. right while keeping a straight course. Being the badass duo, we each took a side and paddled, one on the left and one on the right, and did an amazing job.

Then we sang Panic! songs on the river. Then after getting really high on the songs we switched to mainstream songs. Hehe, get it? Panic! On The River turned mainSTREAM.

And we pretended to be on a wildlife documentary, complete with an accent and the splashing of water when the flattened green bottle creature approached us. Again, what is my life.

As it turned out, nobody turned up for the barbecue. So much for a perfect day. Julian forgot all about it. Yufeng, at the last minute, had to go elsewhere, Abel had horrible after-effects of a dental appointment: being unable to eat any BBQ food. And Yik Dong came down with his family and own friends which was awkward101.

Thankfully, Abel was nice enough to hang out with me for awhile. We walked Zacky, played with cats, spied on two boys playing a mattress, of dubious origins, at the void deck and came up with possible disgusting history of the mattress: blood, sex, roaches etc. My life.

Headed back at 7.30 (BYE ZACKY;-;) and cooked food like the chef in me was actually there. In case of doubt and unhappiness, cook food and eat it, because food never lets you down. Unless you can't cook... Or you drop it. Or you just suck.
