you know you live in the booonies whenn...

ok. for those who don't know, although singapore is about the size of...my brain, aka, it's puny, it still takes a while to get out to town...well, when you live where my gma lives. aka. by the zoo. aka. in the middle of nowhere.

there's this huge stretch of grass that i usually cross to walk out to the busstop. i could choose to walk on the main roads and sidewalks, but that'll take me about an extra 5 mins and cause me to break a lil more sweat. so, i usually just cut across.

but i've always heard stories about what happens on this big patch of...well, grass.
rape. murder. death.

ya.


ok. psh no.

well minus the murder and death. i think.

so there was one night while crossing this patch of, grass, where i almost got attacked by a stray dog. my heart never beat so fast. faster that me getting to sit beside xiao zhu. i froze for about a good 2-4 minutes, with the crazy dog running in circles around me with its fangs and crazy raawrring.

then there was another night before that, where i saw this body, but like no head, just standing in the middle of this big patch of grass, until i walked pass him, and realized he was just a really really dark, ah cha (indian), with his face camouflaging into the dark, dark night. he stared me down, and i quickly skedaddled away.

fine.

so i learned not to cross this damn patch of grass at night.

but today. man, today. on a nice sunny midafternoon. never would i have thought, while crossing this bloody bloody big patch of grass, that i'd see a ....get ready for this....a SNAKE!!!!!!!

w.t.f.

the list just keeps getting longer: dogs, rapers, dark ah chas, and snakes.

no wonder my gparents never leave home.

anyhow. on another note.
i went to Far East Plaza today to go find Stage (my lover's store that is now franchised).
it says not to take photographs, but at the back of the store, there's this huge I LOVE STAGE print...and so i quickly took a photo and ran. it is now on my fb.

then i went to AMK to go buy CDs. and gawdddamnit I BOUGHT THE WRONG VERSION OF XIAO ZHU'S CONCERT DVD (the same concert that i watched in HK TWICE...but in Taipei). eff. i bought the cheapskate one with no pictures no nothing inside. it's just 2 discs. i'm an idiot. i was thinking after i bought it, hey, why is it so cheap. i open it, and see the 2 lamo discs. then i went to another dvd store, and saw the REAL version, double the price. gaaah. idiot me laaaa.

then i met up with Wai Zin for sushi. awwww my last time seeing her. i think she was my last link to exchange, and it has finally and officially come to an end now.

then i went home, caught a bit of the s'pore vs china table tennis.

and then popped in my lamo 2 discs and ...it's been more than half an hour, and a smile is glued onto my face.

i'm going to sleep happy tonight =)
