walked home in the rain last night
after my loved one had gone.
Put on my hood so i wouldn't get my head wet
just the splash of the rain on my face
and the splosh on the leg of my jeans.
Never knew my shoes were that colour wet. It was a darker brown than usual,
they looked like bowler shoes rather than leather Replays.
Made me wonder how things so normal could look so wonderful the next moment.
Saw two girls walking uncovered in the rain
next to the dry of the path under the MRT track.
They were dancing in rain puddles, laughing and singing, dancing in rain puddles.
Wish i felt young enough to dance in rain puddles.
Instead i hide in the shadow of my hood,
under the partial shade of my concrete umbrella.
I am home. The walk is over.
But the memory of laughing in the rain seems so distantly recent.

Alamak! This song is for the Sociologists of the world!
(of course, after this, the anthropologists will tell us to come over to their discipline)
Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change by John Mayer

Yes folks. Christmas is here again! Actually it was kind of already here since late October... decorations are getting ridiculously set up earlier and earlier. I wonder if its actually mass corporate strategy to get the decorations up to avoid "peak period" surcharge, and the decoration people are just extending the peak period every year to match corporate stupidity. So from early Dec to late Nov, late Nov to early Nov, and now mid October. In 5 years decorations and advertisements will start in June, in 10 they will just make permanent Christmas features, and in 20 they'll just open a shop that perpetually has Christmas motifs and sales. They might even buy back Christmas Island cos it's good marketing.
But i digress. I hate buying presents cos i never know what to get for anyone. I'd get mum jewellery,
but do i look like a fucking bank? Get my dad tee shirts every year so he'd get rid of his horribly torn ones... but
apparently you can't buy comfort like rags. And my biological father used to earn 30K a month (that's the minimum we GUESSED anyway), so the easiest thing was to buy him a cigar. He showed his appreciation by smoking it in front of you immediately. Satisfactorily gone in a puff of smoke. My mum recycled and gave away perfume and one year to my aunt's mother in law... unfortunately mum didn't realise that she gave it back to the original person who had given it to her in the first place. How embarassing. Now she just gives old people cash.
So here's a hint guys: Recycling cash is NEVER wrong.
And for you Catholics, remember to go to Church! Have a bloody Mary Christmas! Eat, Drink, and Be Mary!
