I dare you to catch razor butterflies

Broken

Sunday, July 15, 2007

It's really weird. I was thinking about the song "Umbrella" and it immediately came on in my iTunes.

- When i was in primary school, i wanted to be smart because smart kids got attention and had enrichment classes like pre-secondary literature and got their haiku and poem recognised.
- When i was in secondary school, i wanted to be smart because triple pure students had a better chance of going to a good junior college ( or so i was made to believe by my peers )
- In Junior College, i realised it was all for nothing and we had to remake ourselves.

Am-I-Dumb.com - Are you dumb?

I broke my spectacles yesterday at the Night Safari, so i had to walk all topsy-turvy while balancing the spectacle frame on my nose. Sights and smells were accompanied by strawberry cheesecake scoops and random fun. Hanging fruit suckers with a kingdom of flames and of course the occasional smart little girly toddler who told Dean off.

"They don't go meow!"

I never take off my glasses 'cause my esteem feeds me with insecurities. It tells me i'm nothing without them, but hearing from Hikari and Dean that i have nice eyes helped boost my esteem a little. I always loved my eyes as a child. I loved them even more when i realised i had my Mother's eyes: hazel and bright in the sun. I rather keep them hidden for now.

( so harry potter-esque )

Portraits of Saturday soon enough.

We oft forget the meaning of silence and the song of the environment. 4 minutes and 33 seconds is all it takes.
