On bicycles and roller blades

I feel as if my nose is going to drop off. How on earth did I get a cold in such hot weather, I do not know.

Anyway, I saw an interesting sight when walking home today. The kids in my neighbourhood must have form a playgroup somehow. There was a boy on a bicycle and he was cycling down a slope(quite gentle). Behind him, there was a kid on rollerblades, squatting down and holding on to the back of his bike. And behind the kid on rollerblades, there was another kid holding on to his shoulders and was on rollerblades too. And another. And another. All in all, I guessed there were around 7 or 8? Some weren’t even squatting. They were standing, or kind of half squatting. Now imagine them zoom right in front of you. Amazing sight isn’t it?

I literally stopped in my tracks and see how far they can zoom and how they were going to er, crash =D They only went a few metres further and those directly behind the bicycle were squashed when the bicycle stopped. Some rolled away in an attempt to save themselves, others flew off. It was quite a hilarious sight. Luckily no injuries.

I was smiling. It kind of reminded me of my childhood but I don’t think I was ever so reckless. Ok maybe I did. I used to crash my bicycle everywhere in the neighbourhood with Yoggi and Bernice. Never tried blading thou. Don’t even know if I can still fit into my blades. It has been in the storeroom, untouched for a very long time. Since sec 2 or 3 I guess. The last time I ‘roller blad-ed’ was with the Netballers. It was quite fun. We fell down a lot. And we laughed a lot too. That was about 5 or 6 years ago.

I’m feeling nostalgic. And a little sad.

red

is the colour of roses.
Of cherries and apples,
of steamed crabs and lobsters.

It is also the colour of delicious tuna sashimi,
beautiful maple leaves
and the Kaihalulu Beach in Maui.

Red is now the colour of my arm,
of CM's arm
and ah tan's nose as well=))

This is the result of going cycling at noon. When the sun is the strongest, beating us with its powerful rays. I havent been so red for a very long time. Even though I'm burning right now, I feel happy. Maybe its the Vitamin D, or maybe it has been a beautiful day at the beach.

On a side note, you can never trust the weather forecast from NEA.

I just bought a new quilt cover and I almost dint want to wake up. Its smooth and comfy and of course, its expensive as well (even thou it was on promotion). It has a 'brinjal' colour and it makes me want to go back to sleep even more than before. This is bad.

Anyway, I've finally pulled myself up from bed to prepare to go to school. Alas! Today's lecture will be conducted by a guest lecturer and you all now how we all love to listen to guest lecturers cus of the pictures they show during their presentation but we never ever take notes or remember what they say? So I think I shall do myself a favour and not turn up today and thus save two and a half hours of travelling time.

I'm feeling really lazy. I dint go for tuition yesterday, I got overdue readings and I need to go to work later. I cant wait for the last day when I quit.

It was nice working there for a while. However, all the full time staff are quitting, the doctors are leaving, the organisation's crappy, so there's no point staying there for too long. The novelty of it is worn out. Its time to move on and look for something new after the exams.

Speaking of which, term is ending!

I was at Terminal 3 the other day.The telephones there have interactive games, you know, touch screen. You can play them for free. Hit the bunny is only one of the few games that they have. I scored 21 points!
