i was looking at the cny decorations aka hanging lights downstairs when i realised that i probably never noticed it but i saw the very same thing for the past dunno how many years i have lived here at during every major celebration thingy in singapore.. the last time would be new year, which probably was merged with the last last time, christmas.. and so on.. how uninspiring.. and to think i never noticed it.. i remember they did the bushes at the entrance with red during christmas.. dunno what they have there now.. ho hum.. anyways, there are two sets of coconut/palm tree lookalike that can see from up here.. i think the blue+yellow ones look nicer than the yellow+blue+red ones.. must have something to do with kandinskys blue converges while yellow diverges thingy.. anyways, the lights at the steps leading up to hume ave seem to have been repaired permenantly.. how sad.. i used to gumble (to myself) about them never working.. but now theyre on, i cant see the stars.. rarghrarghrargh. its really nice to see the stars.. if thats even possible in singapore.. last time when i took bus to mg there was always this star in the same place every single morning, just as the sun came to claim back the sky.. it was so pretty, the star.. i used to see it and think that it was smiling down at me haha.. and that it would be a good day.. then after a while i sorta took it for granted and forgot to look for it.. then when i finally did, it was gone.. maybe the earth shifted or something like that or the star died. :( anyways, did you know that theres such a thing as light pollution.. yesyes i know, when i first read i thought my eyes much be playing tricks on me or sth.. but apparently it can affect your sleep and your bodily functions and whatnot.. somewhere in the us theyre creating this light-free zone which stretches for miles and miles.. cos apparently if you even have one streetlamp on, the area illuminated is larger than you think.. cos its reflected off the ground, then off the next surface and so on and so on.. even though we cant see it its not good for us.. so i guess dont sleep with a night light on.. but exactly how it affects us i cant really remember, i read this thing dunno how many donkey years ago.. but anyways. just spare me a few seconds of your life.. stick your head out of the window and stare at the sky for a while (assuming that it is at night).. do you see any stars at all? if you do, i figure youre pretty lucky (for singapore).. mostly what i see is this purplish-bluish haze and very few stars (if any).. the only place i saw them was at the (previously) dark (and may i say dangerous) stairs.. its so sad, we have this beautiful vastness out there but we just dont care..
anyways you know what.. move over harry potter and his teenage antics.. move over robert jordans rand al' thor, nyneave al' maera, aes sedai, and the whole lot of them, with their duties and their sacrifices, plots and subplots woven together.. move over david eddings and his nice but forgettable other worlds.. usher in (no, not chinese new year) terry pratchet, the new man in my dreams.. ahaaha yay.. (is that how you spell his name anyways) new lines going off in random crazy angles in all the colours of the rainbow, plus octaron.. a true celebration of the imagination.. and intelligent, too.. all those references to science while turning science round on its head.. and whats more i can even show it to my sister when she gets a bit older! she wont understand everything but shell like it (i hope).. oh joy, joy... speaking of my sister.. this is her way of solving the problem of tomorrow.. and you bring a tape-recorder thing, and then you press on.. *grins* uhh, yes how i wish it was as easy as that.. and her view of the world, etc. these are continents, and then inside continents are countries, inside countries are states.. *looks at her expectantly* *looks back smartly* i know! inside states are cities, inside cities are houses, inside houses are families, inside families are people, inside people is blood, inside blood are proteins.. errr, so whats inside proteins? VITAMINS!!! *continues eating* *dumbfounded*
