The Sadist

I nvr thought it'll ever come to this. but;

HURRAY! SCHOOL STARTS TMR!!!

okay i'm being a terrible sadist, but reason being this is the first time this day doesnt affect me whatsoever. and i didnt even realise the significance of today as the last day of the pseudo freedom for school kids around singapore till i perused blogs of some of them school kids. i.e. my sister. and suddenly it hit me.

that being said, i still hv to book in tmr morning early at 7.45 am; probably will make my way to TAB say, ten hours earlier. to make way for time to get lost in the maze of roads there. actually there's only one long deserted road there. bit scary. it may not exactly cut through the cemeteries of Lim Chu Kang, but goes thru the equally scary zone of army and police camps. look left, look right, you would see the keat hong, police academy and other camps. and every time i pass the police academy i just suddenly rmb the show of a couple of decades ago (Geez.. i'm so old) called Police Academy. and thinking of all the weirdos inside the show Police Academy and realise that Chua Chu Kang Rd's very own police academy is probably likewise dominated by that sort.

and i miss pulau kawai again. i mean pawai. i wonder what "pawai" means in malay.. one day i'll make a note to check up on it. i wonder if would they call pawai an island in western countries ? i mean, its tiny.

and singapore has this unnatural habit of naming things bigger than they really are. i mean, MOUNT Faber is not even a hill, let alone a mountain. and here i was growing up believing that this great ridge that we have is comparable to Mt Everest and co.

that being said, i suddenly rmb that Alcatraz, which i believe to be similar in size to pawai -maybe Alcatraz is a bit smaller - is called a Rock more than its called an Island. and London is still called a city even though its way bigger than Singapore the Country.

maybe its because we asians are smaller than our western counterparts. which would explain why no asian team is in the second round of the FIFA world cup. unless u count the socceroos from down under. who AREN'T asian. though they're beginning to believe they are. (next time out they want to join the Asian group of qualifiers).

Anw, since they're our closest neighbours (yes, tts the sorry state) i'll support the socceroos. yay! good for them. maybe one more round before the real big guns start to take over. i.e. the Brasil's and the Deutschlanders. And yay harry kewell and yay Liverpool.

After all the exercise of the past few days, i'm just very glad of this welcome rest. and one more week in camp; hopefully its a fruitful one.

And i'd better give a very overdue wish to all.

Happy Holidays!!

Yes.

I'm such a sadist.

out.
