After

One bad-hair day...

Pics taken during the first few days we first saw Mr. Bushtails. Those were the times when he was slim but had really bad-hair days :)

When you lie down in the flower meadow...

... flowers get stuck in your hair.

Tiny purple flowers tangled in the hair on Bushtails' belly.

Idle Thoughts

Yesterday I was so bored with invigilations that I found myself glancing out the windows each time an LRT train passed by in the distance, timing its frequency. Hehe... talk about necessitated idleness. There was one every 5 to 6 minutes in each direction at first and toward midday it was more frequent. Like 3 to 4 minutes :) Today was equally boring.

Anything can drift into your mind when you're invigilating. From thinking about what you're going to have for dinner, to the style you're going to cut your hair into, to the laundry you haven't got done, to having internal monologues with God, to contemplating the meaning of life, to trying to solve the infinite mysteries of the universe and more!

Once I produced a whole poem just standing, staring, waiting for the students as they sweated it out over their papers. Because you can't do anything else except sit or stand or walk around slowly. You're not exactly distracted, you're still watching them, still scrutinizing, but this appear to be the outcome of your usually multi-tasking faculties being so under-utilized in the absence of noise, activity and movement, as opposed to your usual day-to-day chaos and racket!

Stuck in the emptiness of a peopled room, can't talk, not supposed to sms, can't read, can't sleep, can't daydream, can't anything! you're left with only the activities of your thoughts.

But this can be good. Not all the time of course but now and then it's good for you. Intrapersonally so.



So what's on tomorrow?

08.10am to 09.25am: Physics 1 (1 & 1/4 hours)

10.00am to 12.30pm: Physics 2 (1 & 1/2 hours)

02.00pm to 03.30pm: Physics 3 (1 & 1/2 hours)

*Gulp* It's going to be another long day...

Suddenly the stars don't shine so bright...

I'm no longer Mr. Bushtails' pat-o-matic

Back to Being Petless

kittykins: i think i'll blog about how my fish died
Soofoo: considering your nick, you probably ate him :)
kittykins: Soofoo hehe no i didn't
kittykins: my fish was a girl
kittykins: she loved to jump out of the water all day
kittykins: jump jump jump
kittykins: but that day she landed on the floor

Poor Rachelfins. Last Saturday I woke up at 9:30am to find her lifeless on the floor. Not even a slight movement, she was so stiff, appeared totally dead. So I scooped her into a container, left her in the backyard & i then went into the shower. The amazing thing was, an hour later (10:30am) when I was about to dispose of her, I saw her fins wiggling weakly. She was still alive! After so long out of the water! Goodness knows how many hours altogether. I quickly put her back into the water and she came back to life as the minutes ticked by. In the end she could swim again! Wow, I was so happy. Amazing! But my happiness was shortlived when some time much later she stopped swimming and lay down on her side gasping & gasping every breath she took, her mouth opening and closing continuously. It was a pitiful sight. Poor thing. Heh, disappointing. She was just a fish but still nice too. She'd get excited when I came into the room and would swim up to the surface.
