Hmmm, was reading through the old entries that I posted yesterday, the second entry in particular. I was thinking "Hmmm, I used to be able to write like this?". Nowadays I don't do much thinking... So, entries which reflect my inner thoughts are rare. Entries are just descriptions of day to day happenings. I don't even write about current affairs anymore. Not that I wrote a lot of it in the past.
Was looking at some of my old documents... and I came across one named "Sundays with Kiddie.doc". A file that I created last year. There's only one "entry" in it. I had initially planned to start a series of entries with the title "Sundays with Kiddie", in response to a friend who created "Tuesdays with Turtle". Well, apparently I did not have any storyline in mind. Perhaps I didn't have the time and mood to write as well. Anyway, here's what's in that file...
Sundays with Kiddie (03.10.2004)
The coin spun, reflecting light as it rose high up into the air before landing back into the Lord’s right palm. The Lord threw the coin into the air again, eyes intent on the coin as it rose up and fell again. Half an hour has passed since he started to play with his one and only coin, a circular disc with a dragon imprinted on one side and five raised dots on the other.
The coin was cool to the touch, and the Lord has always treasured it, for it was from a faraway land. He looked out of the arched window, straining his neck while trying to look at the sundial in the garden below.
He could see the water from fountain land on the stone birds, drenching them from head to toe. The willow trees murmured as the wind blew. It was a cloudy day, and there was no sun. He turned his attention back to his coin and started to whistle while he tossed the coin again. It was a slow and soft tune, soothing to the ears.
The coin fell, not into his palm, but to the ground with a soft tinkle and it rolled towards the wooden door with rusty metal studs. He rose, and was getting ready to walk towards the door when the door creaked. The Lord paused and a smile appeared on his face, revealing a gold tooth.
Comments anyone? Ha.
The day passed rather quickly. I woke up in the late morning and packed a stack of notes that was on the floor. Now I have another stack left which I think I'll pack later. A friend dropped by with lunch. He went down to NUS to meet up with another friend to get something. Since he was coming at around lunchtime, I got him to pack food from the Engin canteen for me. Hee.
He packed salmon with rice from the Japanese stall for me while he himself ate "Ba Chor Mee" (肉搓面 in Chinese). I tried a little of his noodles. Quite good leh. The Engin canteen had most of its stalls changed. I should go over and try the food when I'm free. Heh. Anyway, he came over to scan some stuff and to 顺便 make use of my CDwriter, since his is most probably spoilt.
Spent the rest of the afternoon trying to get a high score for a game. Well, managed to do it before I left my house to go to my cousins' place for tuition. Hee. Quite happy ba. Another good news is that I managed to get my TA (Teaching Assistant) module this semester, which means that I'll have a chance to earn some money while being a lab TA. The rate is at SGD20 per hour. The briefing is on next Tuesday... More details on it after the briefing ba.
Tuition was normal. Still having a semi-blocked nose and cough. Zzz
