Storms rock. There's the sunshine afterward to look forward to.

The random things you see when you wander around on a weekend


Takashimaya. Orchard Road. 4 thirsty scholars rush down the corridor, knowing that there's a McDonald's 100 metres ahead, that sells DRINKS!!! We crowd around the cashier, order our drinks, and while waiting, stare in amazement at the worker who turns on the Ice Lemon Tea tap at the drinks' dispenser, and WASHES HIS HANDS UNDER THE FROTHING DESCENDING SUGAR WATER!!! Thank goodness I ordered Green Tea.

 

Borders. Orchard Road. One scholar, eyes sparkling, dances from bookshelf to bookshelf, looking for the, no, THE catalysts towards achieving that greatest joy in life that is reading. 2 scholars follow the first, keeping the first only just within view. After all, they don't want the people around them to think they know this book maniac. But something happened that could stop even MY book-browsing frenzy. As I was darting to and fro the bookshelves in Borders, I bumped into Agung and Juan, after a year of scarce contact. And just 5 minutes after, I bumped into Sing Hun. You want to find your scholar seniors? Look around Orchard Road during the weekend.

 

You also see the occasional megalomaniac trying to take over the world, the occasional dark monsters that appear out of nowhere only to be defeated by two noble superheroes, the occasional freak accident that causes dimensional rifts, the occasional magical artifacts that grant great knowledge, and of course, the ravenous wolves that prowl the streets.

 

Think I live in an imaginary world? It's true. I DID see uniformed men screaming orders, a child opening his mouth to throw a tantrum only to be silenced by his parents, the fusion of the world's cuisines in Food Republic, the philosophy books at Kinokuniya, and of course, the people begging for donations.It's all just how you choose to see it. I have chosen the more colourful way.
