argh, I think our earth is tipping the other way these days again. Earlier night falls and earlier sunrises. Here I was this morning, dreaming of lala-land*, when I was awoken by some sounds. It was my mom putting on her exercise shoes, getting ready to go for her morning walk. After mumbling good morning to her, i checked the clock. Egads, only 6.45am, and it's day-break already?? ah well, better hit the laundry basket, and get the wash load going, before going off for swim... ah, I hear the buzz of the spin-cycle. Gotta run.

*"dreaming of lala-land" is a local expression, meaning you are deep in sleep. I didn't REALLY dream of a lala-land. If I did, i would top my friend in having the weirdest dream^ ever...
^ My friend dreamt he was a potato flying around. Yes, a potato with self-consciousness, flying around. Sounds pretty spooky, until you've read Doonesbury...
Hi bro, sincere apologies - i wish i could say im interested in the nuances of our earth rolling off its axis, but actually..
ReplyDelete...where in the world did you learn 'egads?!' (i learnt it from a certain Mr Lodge...)
can't remember. Dunno whether it was Willie* in his plays, or Terry** in his novels.
ReplyDeleteWho's Mr. Lodge??
*William Shakespeare
** Terry Pratchett
Thats a name out of an old stack of 'Archie' comics :)
ReplyDeleteAfraid I never did read Willie* or Terry** (was that discworld?), though I was quite absorbed in fantasy novels for a few years.
ah, no wonder there wasn't a ringer. Me no Archie Fan.
ReplyDeleteYeaps, discworld it is. The Great A'Tuin, that gigantic turtle that floats through space, who carries 4 elephants on his/her/its back, who themselves carry Discworld... :D
Hmm.. sounds vaguely Hindu.. :)
ReplyDeleteI spent those years with David Eddings instead, the name Garion or Sparhawk ring a bell? :p
Btw, I've been enjoying your blog. If you know mark, we just might meet each other in person someday.
aiyo, bel-gareth, pol and gang? Enjoyed his books, but after a while, the pattern all "seo siang eh" leh...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your praises. Your last liner a bit worrying though... are you going to possess mark or something?? Egads!
