Yawn. Apparently my tutor's late, so I'm here waiting for him.Promos are comin' soon! I'm going to pull off a miracle. If this one gets off nicely, it'll be one of the most incredible things ever. Guess I'll have to drop all my targets by at lesat 1 grade, since it's pretty much too late to get As without getting 3 Us for every A.
Anyway, interesting tidbit! Oddly enough, it's about the weather. Yes, people, the weather's the most difficult thing to talk about. It's also the most cliche crap a person can ever think of. I mean, every time you even THINK about people talking 'bout the weather, you can just picture a bench facing a park, a fairly cloudy sky and two British old timers on the bench.
"Weather's a bit gloomeh, isn't it?"
Yeah.
Two observations over today and yesterday.
1) People love to wear jackets in CJ. I know, the LTs can get cold, dreadfully so if it rains. Having said that, oddly, it's just as cold in the canteen at 12 noon with the sun shooting death rays at you. Funny that! Maybe they were lazy to take it off?
Last I wore a jacket, taking it off was a bit easier than rolling the sleeve up. Less warm, too. Fun fact: Most of them were from dance. Hmm.
2) I was walking home yesterday and yup, at about 3pm. Swelteringly hot sun is sweltering. The entire back of my bag was damp, and half my uniform actually changed from light to dark blue. (Not that it could look any worse. Maybe it looked better? Factory worker to air-con repair man now perhaps? I wouldn't know.) Whilst (WHILST?! Now aren't we getting all fancy 'ere..) whining about the heat and wiping my brow for the upteenth time, I noticed a couple in the distance, seated on a bench. (They stopped what they were doing and glanced at me.)
Nothing too odd, except it's 3 in the afternoon and did I mention it was hot? Yes, unbearably so. Here's the thing - the couple was in their uniform, AKA just finished school and probably walked, took the bus, and walked again. God knows how long they were there, but it must have been quite some time, snogging each other, hugging and whatnot. Time passes by real quick when you're having fun doesn't it?
Now, imagine doing this while having your shirt half soaked with perspiration. (It contains urea, which is also found in your pee. =O!) Maybe one of them even had garlic for recess or lunch. Yeouch. Nasty. Before I forget, Singapore is annoyingly moist, so your clothes tend to stick to you. Heat + Moisture = Bacteria breeding ground + Discomfort. Suddenly the whole kissing thing didn't seem so romantic anymore.
Printed the 40 page written report. I feel kinda shitty that so much paper and ink was used but eh, I don't pay for it. Now to bind the thing, but I don't know how!
Singapore is too damned small. Han Shen, you lucky bastard you.
