nothing that sunny about this sunday, though one of the hottest ever, and not just in terms of degrees celsius.

i sometimes joke with adrian (japan) about how i fly to school on my broomstick whenever he teases me about my driving (though he's never seen me drive). today, he told me that while he was walking around in japan today, he saw a really nice broomstick and thought of me. that would be a nice early christmas gift, a broomstick which i could really fly away on sometimes.

so many walking bombs ticking away around us. you never know who or when but they've stored up the ammo and if you're accurate enough (which is easier than you think), you might just about push the right button/s or worse, be caught in the direct line of fire because you were the innoncent bystander at the wrong place at the wrong time (though i'm not sure whether there really is a wrong place and a wrong time).

everyone's been getting on everyone else's nerves today over the smallest things. and i mean SMALL. my mom was parking the car and i can't remember what she or anyone else was tensed about then but there it was, "Good Cheer Pub". just randomly appeared out of nowhere. next to a another pub called "i love happy daze".

"i think we all need to go down to good cheer pub," i said. it's funny i've never noticed these pubs before but when i finally did, it was for a good cause. i could feel a smile creeping upon the car for some moments and thank god!

and thank god for sending me adrian before i even had a chance to wallow in self-pity for the rest of the night! while talking to him, i realised i was simply justifying my desire to be indifferent and angry. people may be ticking bombs or choked up toilet bowls. but just as there are the wrong buttons to push and the wrong things to throw in, there are also the right ones. to fear or to love? that is the question.

bombs can be detonated. clogged up toilet bowls can be fixed and cleared. and scrooges can be loved.

well, the sunday has started to get a bit breezier. and though night has fallen, it does seem a bit sunnier now. i guess my thoughts and feelings do change as fast as the weather in singapore these days. =P
