today, i had the adventure of a lifetime! on the way home, i was going to take bus 36 to the bus stop outside a condo called taipan grand, just that the g and r dropped off, so now it's just taipan and. but then, horror of horrors! while it was slowly wheeling down marine parade road, the bus turned, and almost went onto the ecp! realization hit me: i was on the way to changi airport! well, i didn't want to go to changi airport. because if i went to changi airport, it'd be more than an hour before i could reach home. so, out of desperation, i pressed the bell/button. it may not seem very useful, since i was already on the way to changi airport, but it was my first reaction. it's what i always do whenever i miss my stop. whoops. sorry. (i always feel this need to apologise whenever i do something not so smart. which is not so often.)

and then, to my surprise there was a bus stop right outside victoria school! the bus stopped at the bus stop. i was so happy that i started dancing and singing. i even kissed the ground when i got off the bus. no, just kidding. that was an exaggeration. but i would have done that if people didn't stare so much. how self-conscious i must be getting! but now i had another problem. how was i going to get home from VS? then i worked out a series of complicated calculations, and used all the mathematical theories i could think of, and deduced that the easiest way to get home was to take a bus. simple answer, right? you should've seen my theories. they would have gotten me into any university i applied for. but then, i didn't see another bus stop inside. excluding the one next to me, that is. besides, i didn't feel like crossing the road for very good reasons. you see, at that time of the day, the position of the sun made it impossible for the other side of the road to receive any shade. so i decided to walk home.

and so, the walk home passed rather uneventfully. oh, i remember seeing a sign on the fence. it said 'careful wet paint'. before i say anything more, i must point out that i wasn't trying to defy anybody. neither was i a hyperactive kid with itchy hands. it was just that, i was a tad too curious about the sign and the hot, hot, super hot rays of the sun. and the fence, of course. we mustn't forget the fence. as my index finger sneaked closer and closer to the fence, i remember wondering to myself what paint smelt like. so i put down my finger and smelt the paint. i couldn't smell anything. but that was just a minor distraction. anyway, i touched the fence with the supposedly wet paint on it. i was sort of relieved that i didn't have green fingers(haha i'm no gardener), but kind of disappointed too. i don't know why. i was expecting it to be wet, i guess.

nothing more happened. i think. but i remember being smug and happy that i could feel a breeze. people in central singapore don't get much wind unless it rains. i am very thankful that i live near east coast park. that's the onshore wind for all you central people out there! i'm quite glad i learnt about the onshore and offshore breezes last year during geog. otherwise i wouldn't be feeling so smug right now.

yes, and when i reached home, i told my brother everything that happened. all he said was 'whatever' and he went back to counting his money. (yes, he really is that miserly. apparently, he spread his money and some poker cards all over the table. and then, when my other brother (rhymes!) was standing near the table, he took a picture of him that made him look like he was gambling.) i felt quite unappreciated so i went to tell my other brother. but he was doing his math homework, so nevermind. at least i have blogger!
